RMAN :: Restore And Recover Tablespace (s) In Another Database
Dec 3, 2012
I'm using Oracle Standard edition 11gR2, actually that's why I'm posting this thread because I can't use TRANSPORT TABLESPACE feature.
I need to restore and recover two tablespaces, backed up in source database in another database. The destination db has been duplicated from the source db a couple of days ago so the structure is identical.
I cannot use Data Pump on this specific tablespace, because it causes some strange behavior in our application. So I took a backup from tablespaces and now I'm looking for a solution to restore and recover it in another db.
Is there any command to restore a tablespace from a specific file? I googled a lot and no luck so far..
P.S: I use controlfile instead of recovery catalog.
I am doing some test, seeking your expert opinion.I have a database and have the following backup strategy.
1) Database running in archive log mode. 2) First I backup all the table space excluding one tablespace 'DP_TS_LOB'.
RMAN> CONFIGURE EXCLUDE FOR TABLESPACE 'DP_TS_LOBS'; RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE;
3) I take a separate Backup of DP_TS_LOB tablespace.
RMAN> BACKUP TABLESPACE DP_TS_LOB;
4) I backup all the archived redo logs.
RMAN> SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT'; RMAN> backup archivelog all delete input;
Now I wanted to restore the database from the backup excluding the DP_TS_LOB and bring it up and running. DP_TS_LOB is huge and used only on certain work flows. I don't want the database to be down until we restore DP_TS_LOB. I wanted to restore all the other tablespace and bring the database up operational and restore and recover the DP_TS_LOB tablespace datafile's in background taking the datafiles of DP_TS_LOB tablespace offline.I tried the following but unsuccessful.
RMAN> restore controlfile to 'g:ctl_bckctl_01' from autobackup; RMAN> restore spfile to 'g:ctl_bckspfile' from autobackup; RMAN> sql "create PFILE = ''G:ctl_bckPFILE'' from SPFILE = ''G:ctl_bckSPFILE''";
Update the new parameter with new control file name. Copied the control file and parameter file to corresponding location.
First I assumed "Recover Database" will only recover online database files. But got the following error.
RMAN> recover database;
Starting recover at 27-JUL-11 using channel ORA_DISK_1 RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 07/27/2011 18:23:03 RMAN-06094: datafile 8 must be restored
Then I tried recovering data file separately, but same error.
RMAN> recover datafile 1;
Starting recover at 27-JUL-11 using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 07/27/2011 18:24:30 RMAN-06067: RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created control file
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile; and alter database recover automatic until cancel;
1. in user managed and server managed backups. What would be the location of the controlfile which is used in (recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;) .
2. why user first option and why use second option.
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.
We are managing a huge amount of data warehouse on oracle 11.2.0.3.0. We need to take backup using rman of some tablespace not the whole database backup. we need a backup strategy in which we can restore the backup of some tablespace plus oracle instance if any disaster occur.
I have taken backup using rman on test db of system , sysaux , user tablespace then i restore these tablespace successfully and make the remaining tablespace offline , but while open the database it show me below error.
My question is how i backup using rman so that in case of disaster i restore oracle instance plus specific tablespace not full database.
ERROR at line 1: ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup ORA-01110: data file 1: 'C:APPADMINISTRATORORADATASYSTEMSYSTEM01.DBF'
I am getting error when i try to restore one tablespace using RMAN.
RMAN> restore tablespace test;
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00558: error encountered while parsing input commands RMAN-01009: syntax error: found "test": expecting one of: "double-quoted-string, identifier, single-quoted-string" RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 20 file: standard input
But it's working for other tablespace
RMAN> restore tablespace users;
Starting restore at 10-OCT-12 using channel ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring datafile 00004 to /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/TEST/users01.dbf
At a test database instance of Oracle 11g (11.2.0.3.0) at CentOS 6 i've imported a tablespace from another instance to test my backup strategy.
First i've done a fullbackup with RMAN: ---------- # rman target / RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT; ---------- Then i thought to test the database i could delete something and restore and recover the database from the backup. So i deleted a table in the imported tablespace: ---------- # sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> drop table TESTTABLE; ---------- After that i would start the restore and recover process by restoring and recovering the tablespace in which I deleted the table with RMAN. At first i've set the tablespace offline: ---------- SQL> alter tablespace TESTTABLESPACE offline immediate; ---------- Then I go to RMAN and start the restoring: ---------- RMAN> restore tablespace TESTTABLESPACE; ---------- Now there is a problem when i execute the recover command. The recover command includes the recovering from the redolog files, right? As I dropped the table from the tablespace this operation was written in the redolog files. So when i make a : ---------- RMAN> recover tablespace TESTTABLESPACE; ---------- The dropped tablespace would be dropped also, because the last redolog file told RMAN to drop the table. So i think I have to restore and recover my tablespace from an older timestamp, so RMAN would ignore the dropping of the table in the redolog file. Is that right so?
And when it is right how can i restore a tablespace from an older date so RMAN would ignore the dropping?
i want to clone the test db to dev db but i dont want default users and tablespaces(SYS,SYSAUX,...) in the test db datapump and exp are not working, then contacted ORACLE support and they concluded that test db sysaux was corrupted.i took RMAN all tablespace bkup except default tablespaces. then created new database using DBCA and now i want to restore and recover all those test db tablesapces but while i'm doing restore its saying
RMAN> restore tablespace MAIN_DATA;

We have Oracle 10.2.0.3 database installed on Itanium server.
1. One day we found some packages got invalid & not compiling at all with error – ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4097], [], [], [], [], [], [], [].
2. Then we successfully restored the database from old RMAN backup of previous date that caused this error.
3. After 2 days again we found the same error in alert_prd log - ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4097], [], [], [], [], [], [], [] ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STATS", line 19089 ], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
4. Then for testing we exported database using exp command & found 3 tables are not exporting because of data block corruption issue.
5. Then we truncated the data from all 3 tables and then able to export successfully.
6. After all this we manually run SYS.DMS_STATS job but found same error logged in prd_alert log.
This looks like, still database block corruption issue is there & we are unable to cure it 100% This is a production system & in very critical state now.
We have 11gR2 2 node RAC on Linux. ASM and OMF is used for database. The database on it is backed up using RMAN. We want to test the RMAN backup by restoring it to a new database on same server.
i was worked on oracle 11g.1, oracle data miner 11.1.0.4, sql developer 3.
unfortunately, after finishing my tables and models ,the hard disk damaged and was replaced with other.the oracle setup was not on system partition,it was on D:/ and i had windows backup for C, D partition. i restored oracle partition D which contains old oracle files and i installed oracle again but on partition F.
I have restored database with the name DB to another database called DB01
it is in STARTED status (not mounted) and it seems I can not change the name if it is not mounts, and I can not mount it because of the name, how to solve this issue if possible? I have RMAN full backup from DB on my current server which hosting the database DB01 the initdb01.ora is ready and configured with DB01
what can I do next
ORA-01103: database name 'DB' in control file is not 'DB01'
I have taken full backup of database plus archivelog. Then copied them to new server..I want the complete procedure to restore the database on new location.
i have the performed level 0 rman backup on 15th feb 2013, and after that i have incremental 1 and archives and controlfile backup. Before this no backup is the database.
Now i want to restore it to 12th feb 2013.so is there any ways to restore the database to that point time.can we restore controlfile to point in time.
How to restore database if rman catalog corrupted and we we dont have bacup of catalog db ..all the backup info are stored in catalog db for prod databases.
I am trying to restore 11gr2 database to point in time. using following steps:
Control files are fine, that are not restored.
RMAN> run { set until time "to_time('2012-12-13 12:12:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')"; } RMAN> restore database; RMAN> recover database; RMAN> alter database open;
Here my problem is it is restore complete data what ever i was having, but i don't was it, i has to restore up to specified time only.
We want to keep the Guaranteed restore point for week but unfortunately we don't have enough flash space in the server. Is it possible to backup the flashback log(restore point logs) through rman and send bkp file to tape? how to restore the database in new server until Guaranteed restore point.
How many times i can do recover (TSPITR) a tablespace ? While trying to recover tspitr tablespace on 2nd time i got error message ORA-01178 file 13 created before last create controlfile,but first time it was success.
I have oracle 10g installed on my system and name of the database is "ORCL" for which I have schedule the incremental backup everyday. Mentioned below are the steps followed

Now I want to restore this backup to some other system with new database. How to do this recovery to some other database on new system.
I have to perform the TSPITR of a tablespace to recover it to a time 03-apr-2011 5 pm.Now I have done that.
Now I find that I need to actually recover it ti 04-apr-2011.Can I again recover the tablespace to 04-Apr after recovering it to 03-Apr by mistake I am not usng recovery catalog;
I am trying to create my database on a new server using rman incremental hot backups.
I have already restored and recovered my level 0 database on new server, but i am not able to restore/recover the level 1 backup on the new server. I have transported level 1 backup irom the old server to the new one. Do i need to recover lvl 1 bkp only or restore it also.
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 am using oracle 11.2.0.3.0, i have taken database backup using rman , after backup i have added a new datafile . My database has been crash , can i restore the database including the new data file which does not include in backup . I have all the archive logs.
