We have a customer that was backing up his data by copying the oracle data XE folder (all .dbf files) to a backup drive. His server crashed and he formatted it and reinstalled the database 11g from scratch.
Now he needs to re-attach the .DBF files, is there a way?
I have a question in Recovering the database.
E.g. Backup has done yesterday and today evening all files are lost (control, redologs, archive, etc.)
We are in 24/7 environment then how we need to recover the database?
How can I know if database files are on file system or raw files?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a physical standby (10g) which is missing some archive logs, and thus the managed recovery is stuck. I followed the procedure for taking an incremental backup of the primary from the last SCN in the standby, and then recovering the standby from that backup using rman.
It seemed that everything went according to the instructions, except that the "recover database" of the standby from the backup went much faster than I expected. Afterwards I checked the SCN of the standby (select current_scn from v$database) and it had indeed updated to a number beyond where it was stuck originally. The standby controlfile was restored from a backup of the primary's current controlfile, and the standby restarted. The problem is that when I started up standby recovery again, the standby is still looking for the logs which were missing. I can't figure out why! I've been googling around and digging through the docs, and the only clues I can find suggest that this would happen if the standby controlfile wasn't updated. But I did that.
I had a Windows XP client pc with Oracle Client 11-1-0-6 installed. In my absence this client was reinstalled with Windows 7. Therefore all my Registry and Start - Programs settings have been lost.
However my original 11-1-0-6 Oracle Home still exists intact on my C: drive ( i.e. C:appitjxtproduct11.1.0client_2 )
Is there any way I can use the Oracle installer to register this Client Oracle Home again ( so it appears in the Registry and in START PROGRAMS ) ? or is there a way just to get the installer tio reinstall into the client_2 directory again ?
I want to ask if I restore a control file from backup of say day2 and I recover till day1 using RMAN script, then what will be the state of my database? I mean day2 control file may be having SCN-Day2, and I am instructing RMAN to recover till past point in time that is SCN-Day1.

I am trying to take a backup from our production database and restore it to a fresh install of Oracle 10.2 on a Windows 2003 server using RMAN - but I am not getting very far. Software versions are all the same. I have access to the manuals, but it seems like every link I follow adds more questions than it answers.
I have gone through the wizard and set up oracle on the new box - that all seemed to go smoothly. In order for this to work, do I need to set up the database with the same DBID as the one in the backup files? Or is there a way to import the data from the backup and have it build the database from those files?
I'm not sure I'm even asking the right questions. Do any of y'all know of a tutorial that would walk me through this process step by step?

I have a big problem that came up latly which is importing XML files into oracle database.The point is that I have extracted whole PostgreSQL database into XML files - 236 tables - 1 XML file for every table and now I'm about to import them into Oracle tables. First of all, I would like to point out that I already have the structure of all the tables in oracle database, the files only carry the data (records) that need to be imported into oracle.
I've been trying to make it running and I can't do anything more serious about it for over a week..I will show You all example:
insert into ps_sprawozdania(miesiac, umowa_rok, umowa_nr, nr_korekty, nazwa, data_potw, data_exp, status_potw)
select
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/miesiac'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_rok'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/umowa_nr'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nr_korekty'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/nazwa'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_potw'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/data_exp'),
extractvalue(column_value,'/NewDataSet/Cust/status_potw')
from table(xmlsequence(xmltype(bfilename('c: est','ps_sprawozdania.xml'))));
That was one of my attempts to import data from file "ps_sprawozdania.xml" into table "ps_sprawozdnaia" into oracle. Here are 2 records from the XML file to show you Its structure
<NewDataSet>
<Cust>
<miesiac>7</miesiac>
<umowa_rok>2008</umowa_rok>
<umowa_nr>051/210412/01/000/08</umowa_nr>
<nr_korekty>0</nr_korekty>

: I noticed three data files on my standby show's they are corrupted. What will be the easy and fast way to sync them up from my production database?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're currently in a situation where the primary database server fs size does not match the standby database server fs size.
Standby database filesystem is almost 100% utilized, and we suggested to move some of the datafiles first to avoid threshold alerts and archive gaps.
Now, if we're gonna move datafiles on the physical standby, I believe the process would be stop managed redo apply -> shutdown standby -> OS move -> startup mount -> alter rename -> start managed redo apply. Is this correct? If not, how?
Also, would it have an effect if the controlfiles of primary and standby do not match because of the movement?
I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrlcf_satp_01.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_02.ctl
ctrlcf_satp_03.ctl
daddf_satp_dad_01.dbf

Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that your data is lost forever..
I wanted to copy some archive log files between 2 DB Server.Steps:
1) Edited the Local and Remote DB's TNSNAMES file and modifyied like below.
bookstore =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.80.100.28)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = BOOKSTORE)
)
)
2) Created a Source Directory --> DR1
3) Created a Target Directory --> DR2
4) Created a DB Link
CREATE DATABASE LINK LINK1 CONNECT TO <username of the Remote DB> IDENTIFIED BY <Password> USING '<Remote DB Name taken in the TNSFILE>.
5) In the Local Server I had written the below command.
create or replace procedure proc1 is
cursor c1 is select recid,substr(name,37) "ARCH_FILE" from v$archived_log;
var1 c1%rowtype;
begin
open c1;
fetch c1 into var1;

It is working, but not coping the Files from Local To the Remote.

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?
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.

There is a report that is generated everyday in the .csv file format that i would want to load into the database. I want to completely automate this process. I don't want to use the load function available in APEX. I use APEX 3.2 Version.
What i mean by automation is that i will create the CSV file and automatically move to a location from which APEX can access the data. I would then write a procedure to fetch the content directly from CSV file and write to the database. What i need is the location from which APEX can access data directly ?
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.
How to transfer redo log files to standby database..

As part of the duplicating operation, RMAN automates the following steps:
Creates a control file for the duplicate database
Restores the target datafiles to the duplicate database and performs incomplete recovery by using all available incremental backups and archived redo logs
Shuts down and starts the auxiliary instance (refer to "Task 4: Start the Auxiliary Instance" for issues relating to client-side versus server-side initialization parameter files)
Opens the duplicate database with the RESETLOGS option after incomplete recovery to create the online redo logs (except when running DUPLICATE ... FOR STANDBY, in which case RMAN does not open the database) when duplicating for standby database it does not create online redo logs. Duplicating a standby database does not creates online redo logs.
how should I add the online and standby redo logs. If I transfer the redo logs from primary to standby, it always encountered the the following error

I performed a switchover test of my Exadata databases last night. Both databases are running 11.2.0.2 (BP7) on top of GI of the same version.I'm using Data Guard Broker to administer the Data Guard configuration.
I have, as you'd expect, the standby_file_management set to AUTO, so any file changes/additions/deletions that are made on Primary should be applied to Standby also.And they have been. Until last night.
When I had switched over to running Primary on the Standby site, I got this error message:

ORA-25153: Temporary Tablespace is Empty
I checked and my two temp tablespaces existed, but had no files in them. These files are 200Gb and 448Gb in size, so you'd think you'd notice them going missing. This wasn't by any means the first time we switched over (and, yes, I did create temp files for Standby when I built it and first switched over)
We've switched over to Standby multiple times and even ran a whole day's processing against it and haven't seen this. Ultimately, it wasn't a big deal, because I just created a tempfile for each of the tablespaces and off we went.Nothing in MOS seems to mention something like this. Basically, it looks like the switchover process decided to eat my tempfiles but keep my temp tablespace defintion. Odd.

I have 780(12*65) csv files generated from 65 databases.Now I have to load this 780 csv files into 12 tables created in my database for some monitoring and reporting purpose.to call the sql loader I am plannig to create 780 lines like below.

sqlldr abc@tns/pwd control='E:htmlctlhtml_long_running_queries_rpt.ctl' log='E:htmlreportloghtml_long_running_queries_rpt.log'
we know creating 780 control files is the difficult task.So I have created only 12 control files. is there any mechanism to pass a varible (planning to declare it in the sqlldr line) to the infile clause like below in sql loader?
infile "E:htmlreportoutput&a_html_broken_jobs_rpt.csv"
here a is the variable name. it will change every 12 csv files once.
or
is there anyother way to achive this?
