We recently created physical standby database. How do we delete standby archive logs from physical standby?
We have a nightly rman backup that was complete and clean.The backup contains a Data File, Control File and a backup Archive Log file.The database server crashed with all the subsequent archive logs lost.
We are trying to recover from the three backup files.We are bumping into the backup piece missing as all the archive logs are done. how to restore with the exising backup files. the lost archive logs are probably salvageable.
Is there any way I can get all the archive log files present in a backup piece. I tried following but it always gives me all the log files for each piece:
****
SQL> select s.set_stamp, s.set_count, s.PIECES, s.backup_type,
s.controlfile_included from v$backup_set s, v$backup_piece p where
s.set_stamp=p.set_stamp and s.set_count=p.set_count and
p.handle='5mjv4do0_1_1';

I have Oracle 10gR2 database on a windows server, I have scheduled rman backup for this database from Solaris server
set echo onrun {
crosscheck archivelog all;
backup check logical database plus archivelog;
delete noprompt obsolete device type DISK;
}
exit;
It is deleting the obsolete backup pieces but it is not deleting old archive logs (obsolete archive logs) and it is not even showing old archives as obsolete when I check thru report obsolete

Are there supposedly complete folder by dates each day? So I am missing archivelogs of 27th, 26th,25th, etc?
My supervisor wants to remove all the archivelogs since it was just a test for 1 year the DB is not actually YET been used. Problem is they want it to be used as soon as possible w/o recreating again the database and just removing some data on tables and removed archive logs. how to safely removed the existing archived logs and create a full backup with archived fresh to sequence 1.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have production database and standby database in 11g.
Production db server is taking care by different team even I don't have any access of the production server and I am responsible only for standby server. As of now everything is working fine except database backup on standby server because standby server is not register in catalog.
How to register standby server in catalog for RMAN backup?
I use windows 2003 server, oracle 10.2.0.4.0.My question is related to maintaing a standby database
1. Do we need to take RMAN full backup of standby database on a regular basis? At the moment I dont take backups of standby database.
2. I have FRA on standby database. The archivelogs from primary go to FRA on standby. I delete my archivelogs as follows:
DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-3';
Though the archivelogs are delete there are still empty folders of archivelogs that are not deleted. How to get rid of them automatically.
I am looking for a way to capture a TXs from one database and create a script or use it with tool, so we can capture TXs close to production while testing changes being implemented in database.
Env:
OS: Redhat Linux 5.0
DB: 10.2.0.4
Actually Requirement: We have active-active Golden Gate setup done for one of our DB and once a quarter we make changes in the database using DDL (CREATE / ALTER - TABLES, FUNCTIONS, TRIGGERS, etc). We are 24/7 environment and hence no downtime is affordable. What I like to know is a way to capture all TXs from one of the DB and create a script so we can run them while we are testing new changes in the database. Something like DBMS_WORKLOAD_CAPTURE Package (Available only after 11gR1) or some tools available in the market.
I also tried looking into Load Runner but felt it works with App tier than DB, I may be wrong there.
If my standby database is read only mode,does it can app the archive logs which come from primary database?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAssuming you have a 9i database . where you have it enabled in archive mode , yet constantly deleting the archived redo logs , due to space constraints .
Will you be able to perform a full level 0 backup , and the following incremental backups , in the absence of the archived redo logs ? And are these incremental backups enough to recover the database or particular data files , to the point of the backup itself at least ?
How can be identify a particular archive-log file have backup or not from rman catalog?

So i need to restore archivelogs by using sequence
RMAN>RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 20 UNTIL SEQUENCE 28;
So the restore is completed successfully
So its very hard to monitor archivelog files
i feel i should have included all archivelog files while taking RMAN backup
RMAN >backup database plus archivelog all delete input;
but the problem is my RMAN backup is already 360GB in size and it takes 4-5 hrs to complete .so i need to schedule RMAN backup at one time (e.g sunday) ,delete the archivelog files older than sundayand now schedule the archivelog backup at another day (e.g wed &sat)
my question is where i have to change my script to backup all avaialbe archivelog files if old archivelog files are deleted at os level?
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c1 type disk;
3> sql 'alter system archive log current';
4> backup archivelog all format 'D:oracleackuplog_t%t_s%s_p%p' delete input;
5> release channel c1;
6> }
URL....I'm practicing for the OCP test and one of the questions is that there is a backup from yesterday and the last archived logs are from the day before yesterday not mentioned if it's cold or hot backup.
If its a cold backup - cant we recover it? is it a must to have the archived redo logs also when recovering a cold backup? That sounds not logical since those logs are made only for a hot backup. URL.....

We are having an intermittent problem related to failing RMAN archive log backups. Normally everything works fine but once every fortnight or so the archive log backup starts to fail with the below message. We run two Oracle instances on this windows box, so they are using same oracle and TSM client binaries, but it is only of the instances that have this problem - the largest instance though. Restarting the Oracle instance solves the problem and everything is back to normal, until next time ...
This is the error message in the rman log file

I have the incident file as well if that is of any use.
Could the problem be related to running two backups in parallel?
We run full backups once a week and both this time and last time the archive log backup failed it was in conjunction to when the full backup also was running.
Is there any other solution to the problem than restarting the oracle instance?
Since this is a busy production instance it is a big problem for us to restart it outside of maintenance windows.
We have 100 archive log files out of that 20 archive log file are deleted, We want take full Database backup plus archivelog files using RMAN
Is it possible to take backup without 20 archivelog file using RMAN?
Is it possible to take full database backup with 80 archivelog file using RMAN?

troubleshoot this and get the standby in sync.
We are going to implement oracle 11g. Now I wanna use rman to take the incremental backup in the follwing way:
Level-0 backup weekly, in the way:
run
{
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
BACKUP incremental level 0 DATABASE
TAG 'Weekly_full' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
backup archivelog all not backed up 1 times delete input
TAG 'Weekly_full_arc' FORMAT 'E:RMAN_backupweekly_full_arc_%d_%Y%M%D_s%s_p%p.bak';
[code].....
and RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW is set to 10 days, so that there is no chance that i will delete expired backup before taking backup.
Now my question is,
1) Is the way is correct that there is no wrong configuration. My main concern is about archive log, is it correct?
2) As i am deleting archive log files with the backup and after that the expired archive log backup is also deleted, so is there any chance of failure in recovery.
3) here how archive log backup will work with 10 days retention policy.
When we see archive log destination is full , in that case how to backup archive log files using RMAN ?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have following query in Dataguard ..
If I want to take Rman archive log backup with delete input command , how the archive logs will be copied to standby database
For eg
I am taking archive backup as
RMAN>backup archivelog all delete input;
here consider few archives are not copied to standby database (due to nw issue) then how standby will receives these missing archives as those are deleted by rman backup at primary side.
I am not getting any document related to above query.
1) The Primary Database is UP. The Physical Stand By Database is DOWN. The Current Archive Log Sequence is 99 in Primary.
We have to apply Archive Log from 51 to 99 to the Standby Database. But Unfortunately, there is no backup of those Archivelogs and the ArchiveLogs from 51 to 98 have got deleted at Primary end.
Now how will you apply these Archive Logs from Primary Database to Physical Standby Database?
Note : The Physical StandBy Database is DOWN.
I successfully created the standby database and the archive logs were properly moving on both the primary and the standby databases. For the proper transfer of the archive logs on the STANDBY database I used "FAL_CLIENT AND FAL_SERVER" in the pfile of the primary database specifying the location of the primary and the Standby respectively.
When I removed both the parameters from the pfile of the primary database still there was the transfer of the archive logs however there should not be "If I am not wrong" as I have removed both the parameters.
why there is still the transfer of the archive logs on the standby database.
i have found an issue regarding log archiving on dest1. yesterday one sequence number 76871 not archive to dest1.alert logfile content as follow. i configure standby and ship archive manually with window copy command. i need this archive to complete recovery on standby database.
