Get Restore Of All DBF And CTL Files To A New Server
Jul 9, 2008
We had a server that crashed and died holding an Oracle database.Lucky us that we have full server cold backups.
I can get a restore of all the .dbf and .ctl files to a new server aswell as the pfile.Previously when i have done restores i have had the database up first and done
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROL FILE TO TRACE;
I would then delete the redo logs, tempfile and controlfiles and recreate using the tracefile.How do i go about bringing up the database without this tracefile. Do i just keep the controlfiles, temp file and redo logs and just attempt to startup? I believe i can keep all the paths the same that were on the other server.

I had a database on an old P4 running but the motherboard got fried. I was able to recover all the data files (.ctl and *.dbf) plus the redo logs (.log). There is no export or backup taken - I have old ones, but I need to recover the latest which only existed in the data files.
I now have Oracle installed on a new P5 machine and was wondering if it is possible to use these data files in the new database? If so, how do I go by restoring the data files?
Both the P4 and P5 where running Red Hat Linux.

I'm trying to find a way to recover my APEX application that I built during 10 months. In the first time, I tried to recover, repair, restore...etc. my corrupted database 11g1 without success, in the end with nerves, I delete everything and reinstalled 11g2. Before to delete, I copied all db files including the corrupted one (system01.dbf).
I had wrote a script in order to export after any big change in my DB, a full database (using exp tool).
So now, What I have is :
1 - New and clean database.
2 - Last full export from the older one.
3 - All db files of the old database (noarchivelog).
I can import my schema that I used in my APEX app to contain data and objects (tables, sequences, triggers, views, packages, functions and procedures). But, I can't restore the APEX app.
Is there any way to recover my app from the export or from dbfiles ?

I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?

I am having a issue, we are trying to restore our db from control files using Symantec Backup exec, but job fails giving me error go to table spaces select all table spaces and unchecked roll forward.
i am unable to find way to uncheck the table spaces. Here is the complete description.
Cause
The system catalog tablespace "syscatspace" contains all of the system catalog information for the tables. Syscatspace needs to be rolled forward first, and then the other tablespaces must be rolled forward.
Solution
Workaround:
When the restore operation is run from a tablespace level backup, perform the rollforward for the syscatspace tablespace first and then for other tablespaces.
Execute the rollforward operation as a DBA operation. The sequence of the recovery process should be as follows:
1. Select all tablespaces, uncheck the rollforward option and run the restore job.
2. Run the rollforward operation as a DBA initiated operation:
rollforward syscatspace to point in time / end of logs. e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete Tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) online
3. Perform rollforward of all other tablespaces.
e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete tablespace (SYSTOO LSPACE,USERSPACE1) online
Refer to IBM DB2 documentation for more information on DBA-initiated operations.

I have two Solaris 5.11 x86 64 bit servers. I need to be able to copy the backup files to a temp location on the 2nd server and restore that server so it is a test version of the first server. There is no RMAN catalog, I simply want to backup on A move to B restore from files copied to b.
On the first server installed Oracle Enterprise 11.2.0.3. sid = orcl. i created one schema with a new table space added a table and inserted 500,000 rows.
i set the db to archivelog=on, set configure controlfile autobackup on
i then did RMAN backup as backupset database spfile;
on the second server, i installed Oracle Enterprise 11.2.03, sid=orcl exactly like i did on the first server.i scp'd all of the files created by the backup to one location on the test server. i renamed spfileorcl.ora in dbs to somethinge else. startup nomount, exit and go to rman and run this:
DUPLICATE DATABASE TO 'orcl' SPFILE BACKUP LOCATION '/tmp/backups' NOFILENAMECHECK;
this runs for a while and looks like it works but eventually fails with :
RMAN-05541: no archived logs found in target database
subsequent attempts to 'startup' the database receive the error ORA-19838: Cannot use this control file to open database.
This is very frustrating. I have gone over all of the manuals, documentation and more but there is no 'step by step' process that i can find that is current with my version of Oracle that documents the steps necessary to simply backup a db, move it to a test server to a disk and then restore that test server as a copy of the first server.

The controlfiles were corrupted due to some issue. So, I had to restore the recent backed up control file and then restore the database.
The weird thing which I have noticed is that. I tried backing up Yesterday's Control file. So, I would say that the backup pieces it should pick should be from yesterday. however, the backup pieces are getting restored from last week's backup.

I create a test database which is duplicate of my production server and after every 15 or 20 days I need to synchronize test db with production db.So I clone it and it takes about a day.I have to remove all datafiles from test and move from production to there on test server and I applied restore and recover.So it is very time consuming process.
I want to know is there any process which makes my work less like I just need to apply all rest of the logs which are new after synchronize last time from production server that need restore and recover.

I have taken cold back-up of a complete database using below rcv from a server.
RMAN>
connect target /
run{
set command id to 'bkp_EMCPROD_db';
allocate channel c1 type 'sbt_tape' parms="BLKSIZE=1048576, ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin/tdpo.opt)";
backup current controlfile format 'ct_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s.ctl';
backup database format 'db_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s_p%p.db';
backup current controlfile format 'ct_t%t_T%T_d%d_s%s.ctl';
release channel c1;
}
I need to restore this back-up on another server of the same Database Name. Below is the rcv which my sr. dba asked me to look into for the restore.
/* From the new server to restore the back-up */
RMAN>
connect target "rman/xxxxx@emcprod"
connect auxiliary /
run {
set until time "to_date('Nov 03 2011 19:00:00','Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel c1 type 'sbt_tape' parms="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.sacsun8.opt)";
restore database;

I'm running Oracle 11.2g enterprise and we have a database on a server. We want to take a backup from this database and restore it in another database with fewer memory. In restore procedure after edition of pfile I try to restore controlfiles with my edited pfile(initdb.ora), but i'm getting an error related to memory shortage. So i decreased the amount of *.memory_target(3.5G to 2.5G) and the restore procedure continued. At the end when i try to Open database(alter database open resetlogs) i got the following error and the database does not work normally.
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs

I am facing an issue while rebuilding a DR (Physical Standby) site using RMAN.Rman is failing to restore all the datafiles to the stanby site.
There are 403 datafiles that should be restored among which after restoring 50-60 datafiles the channel is abruptly getting terminated.Please note this exercise is not new I have done this many times (once a year after a DR testing) and the same script is being used.The rcv file is as follows
/u03/oracle/admin/mpr/scripts/dataguard/configure_dr.rcv
connect auxiliary sys/XXXX@YYY
run {
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck dorecover;
}
exit
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
configure_dr.rcv: END
[code]....
The trace file says "krso_proc_add: Detected dead process 13828326; subsuming V$MANAGED_STANDBY slot
INFO: krsr_rfs_atc: RFS processes are temporarily disallowed"
I have also started RMAN debug tracing and the trace is also scanned as it is huge.I have seen the following in the trace error 3015 signalled during compilation..I do not find any specific oracle error to check on .
The only change that happened is that the Primary production server has been moved to a new datacentre and after its move all the connections seems to be working fine.

I am trying to restore a backup from a live server to a dev server. Have moved nackup sets. Created a windows service to match the old sid on live system. copied the pfile from live and changed the locations of the folders to suit dev. set oracle_sid to the new sid(as created to match live)
connected to rman
startup nomount
set dbid to the live number
restore controlfile
alter database mount
catalog'd all the backupsets
[code]....
but it fails when it tries the restore .. see below ..The path it is showing is the old path from the live server, so it appears to eb ignoring my set newname statements even though they succeeded earlier - should be restoring them to d:oracleoradatasun43dev ? Does the whole thing have to be put inside one run block or can I put bits in one run block and other bits outside of it etc?
RMAN> restore database;
Starting restore at 14-FEB-12
using channel ORA_DISK_1
using channel ORA_DISK_2
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backupset restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set

I have written make files that compile .pc files in unix. This was for several projects that use an oralib source code directory.Just running proc on one target .pc file works fine on unix. I am trying to use proc - Oracle 10.2.0 - in windows and I keep getting:
Quote:unable to open include file
#include <stdio.h>
and other C library headers.
I am doing all development under cygwin, this way I can write a makefile just like under unix instead of using nmake.All C library headers are in /usr/include When I run proc on Solaris as that:
proc program.pc
No problems, and I do get program.c.
However in windows I get the previous error message. I have tried to do proc include=/user/include program.pc and proc include=/user/include parse=full program.pc but I still get the same error message.

I have a rather complicated process to import text files into my DB.I'm given thousands of files every day, separated by "," and with 80 fields each. With a bash script, I take the 45 fields I need and then split each file into x number of files grouping the rows by three fields.Then I use SQL Loader to insert them into de DB.
The problem is that now I must insert on two tables and the "WHEN" clause doesn't allow the use of > and <.
To make things a litle clearer take this text file (already splited and grouped and ready to be inserted):
...
1,1,135,1900,0,12,114,2011/08/25 17:19:00,135,...
1,1,135,1900,0,13,119,2011/08/25 17:19:00,136,...
1,1,135,1900,0,14,117,2011/08/25 17:19:00,137,...
1,1,135,1900,0,15,113,2011/08/25 17:19:00,138,...
1,1,135,1900,0,16,119,2011/08/25 17:19:00,139,...
...
When field 6 is higher or equal to 14, it must go to table a.When field 6 is lower than 14, it must go to table b.I can't use external tables as I'm in a different server.

I have some doubts about redo log files,
1) Can we fetch 'select statements' from redo log files through the use of log miner utility or any other?
(I think redo log file contains only insert,update,delete and DDL/DCL commands only)
2) If "No" to the above answer then how can i fetch all select statements fired on the system for a day or particular time.
(setting of sql_trace may be the one of them, but can it be possible for system level)
