RMAN :: Change Database Name Control Files After Restore
Jul 12, 2012
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 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.

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'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 was carrying out an experiment in order to crash the database and recover it.
The database was running, I moved the control file to another location and to my surprise the database was still running. I tried issuing checkpoint and transaction but it didn't affect database operations. I tried doing log switch. It completed successfully. According to my understanding and Oracle Certification books database was supposed to crash. But it didn't.
I tried this not only on RHEL, Windows XP but also in Solaris 5.10. The database version is Oracle 10.2.0.4 Standard Edition.

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.

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 trying to setup my environment to prepare for hands on DBA exercises from an OCM handbook for 10g -OCM:Oracle Database 10g Administrator Certified Master Exam Guide
I need access to the following files
gc_10205_part1of2.zip, gc_10205_part2of2.zip for 32 bit linux
Apparently the above along with other Grid software was once attainable from the link below but sometime between this year and the last Oracle decided to remove this and other software from public access. URL.....
I doubt Oracle will hear my plea - educational purposes only - so given I want access to the software only.

Oracle Database 11.2.0.3
OEL 5.7
We have a host for restore purposes. We execute monthly or quarterly restore operations to verify that I am able to restore a subset of the data in the given amount of time or to other purposes. I have a automated script to Clone the Database, but to Clone Database we need remove the old database from ASM before start this operation. I want remove only Database files and keep the configuration (such as oratab/network/ocr and so on).
Question: There is a easy way to remove these files without connect on ASM or by using DBCA?

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 have a problem with my control file [URL].........
What I did, I have a duplicate of the database with the invalid control file, let's call it DUMDB. I am using my control file and no recovery-catalog-db.
I recreated the control file. Now everything is working fine, new backups can be taken, restores can be made. I just need to restore a backup tagged with "LASTDEV". The control file for this backup is the invalid one. So I need a restore WITHOUT restoring the control file.
I did:
CODERMAN> catalog backuppiece '/u03/flash_recovery_area/DUMDB/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_LASTDEV_75fmkllw_.bkp';

I did a hot back up like this :
--check that it is in archivelog mode
SQL> archive log list
-- the data files that will need to be backup by OS command
SQL> select sum(bytes) from dba_data_files;
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
-- note archivelog sequence before starting the hot backup (need to back the archivelog generated during the backup)
SQL> select thread#, max (sequence#) from v$log group by thread# order by thread#;
-- begin the backup
SQL> alter database begin backup;
-- use OS command to copy the datafiles
-- remember to end the backup mode
SQL> alter database end backup;
-- archive the current online redo log files
SQL> alter system archive log current;
-- REMEBER to note the MAXIMM online-redo sequence number
select thread#, max (sequence#)from v$log group by thread# order by thread#;
-- backup the control files
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to '/oradump/hbackup/O11R2/controlbk.ctl' reuse;
-- backup any archive-redo logd generated during the backup
-- select from the v$archived_log mode
-- anything thing that appear under this view is safe to backup as long you don't backup the current archive log file that is being written to.simulated a scenario, if 1 of my multiplex control is damage due to media failure ( i just delete it, seem like i got to shutdown first before i can delete it, using window bases oracle, not too sure linux allow you to delete the control file like this)
To what i understand one can restore a missing control file if you have multiplex it. so I did this :
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
-- while it is being down, i use OS command to copy a good copy of the control file to the missing controlfile location + name.
-- startup

You have tried to move one or more copies of control file at the different location when Oracle database was up and running.
You have tried to restore from database backup but your backup has not taken properly. It may taken when database is up and running.
Your database or system got corrupt/damaged during updation was in process.

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 ?
