management of the Windows flash recovery area

Hi experts,

We use oracle 10G R2, enterprise edition on windows 2003 Advanced Server...

We have a size 20 GB database with archive log mode and archiving destination specified to Flash the recovery area. We don't use RMAN as a backup strategy. and are flash recovery size is set to 5 GB. as it is an OLTP system, it generates a lot of log archiving in the flash recovery area, order of frequent newspaper with the redo log file size is 100 MB.

I would like to know, how can I manage the flash recovery area, if I do not use RMAN to specify archivelog retention policy? How can I specify that oracle should keep log archive files to flash recovery are for 5 days? as we know that oracle won't remove any permanent file at least flash recovery area that it is obsolete, and database may hang if there is space in recovery is full... I can take the log backup archive to another disk, but is it possible to say oracle keeps log archiving for 5 days and remove them to recover space in case of disk space full for the flash area?


or if I put the retention using RMAN policy, it will take effect for maintain the retention policy and remove the log archiving obsolete in the area of flash recovery after 5 days, even if I do not use RMAN to back up my database?

any suggestions would be much appreciated

Thanks and greetings
VD

Vikrant dixit says:
We use import export for backup of database (political company it's not mine)

Then suggest or explain this imp/exp is not any type of backup. It's a data dump. And it won't save disaster. There will be data loss. If it's good to society, then it's ok.
And then perhaps it is not necessary to keep the database in log mode archive if exp/imp is used.

.. .and archive logs are generated and not backed up yet... that's why I asked this question here how manage space flash in a future close if space is complete in the same...

Then, you must implement the log backup archive and deletion with rman. And if already happens with rman, then why not go further and use rman for full database backups.

What you need to do:
1 understand how often do you need to archive backup logs
2. When you save them (tape, disk)
3. making scripts to archive log backup or remove and obsolete backup deletion.
It may be just a script
delete any backup archivelog entry;
remove obsolete;

  • Remove the Flash recovery area

    Hello
    IAM on oracle 11.2.0.1 on windows 2008 64-bit. We have a database with the recovery flash set up in her area. We want to delete (IE completely remove the flash recovery area without affecting the DB). So, what should I do? I can find one of my files to control it. I want to completely remove the flash recovery area so that my data files and files redo, control files can be on the same location. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In addition to having a control file in the flash recovery area, which is strange, not desired, I wonder if you have covered Google for the answer: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=oracle%20remove%20flash%20recovery%20area

    Transfer the control file to another location means a change in the spfile and restart the database.

    For the rest, refer to the manuals

    following steps should be ok
    (1) create pfile from spfile;
    (2) remove the unnecessary params
    (3) configure log_archive_dest_1
    Note: do not remove the db_recovery_file_dest, db_recovery_file_dest_size, and parameters. they may be required at another time
    (4) stop and start your database using this new pfile
    (5) check if the archives are in one place
    (6) create spfile and bounce database to ensure that it uses spfile

    Please try all the steps test env first and go ahead in the event of success, to production

  • in the life situation, is the flash recovery area used often?

    Hi all

    in the life situation, is the flash recovery area used often? or being extinguished?

    What is general practice?

    Thank you

    Andrew

    Andrew,

    First that you must answer - what you want to with flash recovery area (FRA). FRA may or may not be used with another technology - flashback database.

    (i) are you using a base of data of flashback (database +, not table or query flashback flashback), i.e. you have lit the flame of the database? If so, you need to use CRF because that's where the FB connect to go.

    (ii) If you don't use flashback database, you can, but you don't need to use FRA. FRA can be used for database backups and archived logs archived backups of logs.

    I strongly suggest not to use FRA for archived logs. As a corollary, I strongly suggest backups seprating and newspapers archived on separate file systems (and underlying disks), if possible. Don't forget, you can always re-create a lost backup using logs archived. but never an archived newspaper lost. If you have lost journal #345, but all the others to have #346-#1000, it doesn't matter; recovery stops at 345. So imagine put backups and newspapers archived on a single point of failure - you lost two of them.

    Therefore, I use different locations for backups and archived logs, somewhat defeat the purpose of the FRA, where both are supposed to go.

    Caveat: I do this for all important databases. If a database is not so important, well...

    I hope this helps.

  • 11g XE - flash recovery area is not enabled.

    Hi all

    I just installed 11g XE on Oracle Linux 5.2 64 bit (inside VirtualBox under Windows 7 64-bit). Everything seems to work fine, I can access to Apex, SQLPLUS, etc...
    However, when I try to run the BACKUP DATABASE, I get:

    ==================== ERROR =========================
    Backup of the database failed
    ==================== ERROR =========================
    flash recovery area is not enabled.

    I checked and double checked my settings and everything looks fine for me:

    If anyone know what could cause this?

  • Add redo log Member Flash recovery area

    I have an Oracle 10 g server.

    Database is in archivelog mode, using the Flash recovery for storage area redo files archive.

    He doesn't use Oracle-managed files (db_create_file_dest is not set) - all the examples use until this OMF to multiplex the redo and control FRA files.

    Is is possible to multiplex files redo log to the flash recovery area? Same question for the file control also.


    What I tried, but not successfully:

    My FRA is set to C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\ALEQ.

    I added a redo log Member
    C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA\ALEQ\ONLINELOG\

    The problem is through EM I can't see any use of "Online Journal", but also when I query V$ FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA_USAGE (now I see only the use of archivelog and backuppiece)

    My assumption is that the FRA is not used.




    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, if you create base without specifying CONTROL_FILES but whose value DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST and DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, then your controlfiles get automatically appointed duplex and OMF. You could do this later with a create controlfile statement. But a more simple and better method would be to use the two parameters from the start.

    Hello

    Either yourself or a store should remove the HDD and it slave in a system that works to see if the data can be recovered from him. The error message indicates a corrupt installation volume rarely, this can be fixed without deletion and recreation of the volume (and doing so will lose all data currently on the disk). Once the data was retrieved from the Vista installation will have to be redone from scratch.

  • run a while loop in separate vi, minimize the window flashing

    My apologies in advance for not including a VI; I cannot give it, cannot even provide screenshots.

    I have a state machine base with a cluster of Boolean values that are analyzed in the 'default' State, the scan index = true determining the next State. All other States to return to the default state. The State of 'stop' stop the loop with a Boolean constant = True, located inside the structure case wired to the time entry conditional loop (all States have a Boolean constant False wired to it). Apart from the cases

    statement, the wire connected to the conditional entry is connected to a Boolean indicator, ' Stop, in really. The time delay within the State of the machine while loop is currently set at 100 ms.

    In addition to the 'State' shift register, the state machine has a "boolean" shift register. All States, except one, feeds the value passed the Boolean value through to the next State (i.e. wired directly from left to right the structure of the case). The exception is the State which inverts the Boolean value, with the output of the inverter transferred to the State following and also connected to a Boolean flag, 'Show the State', the

    indicator outside the case statement but inside the while loop. All other States wire just the previous state of the Boolean value through the following State, unchanged.

    In addition to the State of the machine while loop, I have a parallel while loop (scourge of the LV forums). All entered conditional loop is connected to a local variable to 'stop, really. " A True/False case in this while loop structure contains a Subvi in the case of True value. The Boolean value of entry to the case statement is connected to a local variable for 'Show status'. The Subvi, which is in the real case is to display the State of the

    user.

    The Subvi which provides status through its frontage runs a script in python via a 'comand prompt"vi. The necessary update to the python command send is ~ 1/second. Within the Sub - VI is a 1 second delay time after execution of the code.

    It works but I'm doing some improvements with minimal impact on what I have.

    Two cases of VI properties that relate to the conduct of the State Subvi (floating or default, modal does not at all):

    1. with "Firm when previously closed" selected, the window switches VI (via the main switch VI) open and closed but when it is open there is the a second window flash that could cause seizures in some users.

    2. with "closes when previously closed" deselected, the window remains open and it is difficult to tell the difference between the running state and is not running. In addition, the Subvi window will not be reduced for this option.

    Is there a little invasive change, I have the code in force to stop a second flash described in #1 above and activate / deactivate the Subvi status window?

    Thank you

  • Why the windows xp recovery disk hangs 90%

    Setup formats to 90% and no longer is located at 90%, sometimes it says cannot read disk I just there in the mail from microsoft?

    Hi JeffPoe,

    1. Is that what you received the computer manufacturer's recovery disks?
    2. What exactly is the error message you receive?
    3. How did you start the installation? You install Windows XP on the new hard drive or a hard drive empty?

    Microsoft does not manufacturer or provide recovery disks.

    Recovery discs are supplied by the manufacturer of the computer.

    I suggest that you check if there is no scratches on the Windows XP installation disk, you can also clean the surface of the disc with a clean dry and check if it continues the installation.

  • Where to get the Windows vista recovery disk to do a clean install?

    Where can I get the windows vista for any new installation disk. Both my recovery disk & HDD crashed. I had windows vista preinstalled.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
