Oracle 10g on Windows 2003. Backup suggestions

HI guys

Well, I know I'm asking help two former products , well, an or our old applications developed using developer suite 2000 & then migrated to 6i which can not be in a way migrated to Oracle EBS, due to financial constraints and the size of the application. We have data with this database of nearly 14 years, and we recently had a major outage due to power failure.

We recovered the database using dump exp files (sacrificing a number of days of data) and the export made every night was our backup ONLY for the database (as defined by the solution provider). Once we recovered the database, we allowed logging of archive and automatic backups.

This legacy application is for a service call center which is 24/7, that is to say, put the database offline and making a suggestion cold backup will receive a cold shoulder at the stage of the proposal itself. I can write Windows services that those could automatically create .zip files for entire folders of Oracle binaries in the background on demand or scheduled intervals, even copy them to the backup devices. Just curious to know how reliable is such archive files for data recovery, as I will zip binary files, while the database is online?

Thank you and best regards,

(1) make sure that your database is archivelog to if online backup mode does not use the RMAN tool

Select log_mode from v database $;

If not

stop immediately;

Startup mount

ALTER database archivelog

ALTER database open;

(2) alter database begin backup

After the adaptation of your database files and then

alter database end backup;

(3) alter database backup controlfile to

(4) all the zip file that you backup

  • Activate the oracle 10g on windows 2003 R2 X 64 edition to address the memory 8 GB

    We use the Oracle 10 g R2 on Windows 2003 R2 x 64 standard edition. Lately, we have improved the system memory of 4 GB to 8 GB. Windows detects the memory as it is (8 GB), but oracle does not see the RAM 8 GB. How can we ovecome problem.

    What you actually do is since you're 10gr 2, you can use the spfile. Increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE SGA_TARGET (if you want to give control to the Oracle itself) in the spfile and bounce the database.

    alter system set SGA_MAX_SIZE = 6G scope=spfile;
    alter system set SGA_TARGET = 6G scope=spfile;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup;
    show parameter sga;
    

    6G could be changed depending on what type of applications which allocates RAM for the operating system, you already have on your operating system.

    Hope that helps.

  • Archive log mode in oracle 10g on windows environment

    Hi all

    I have a data base (Oracle 10 g 10.2.0.1.0) on windows 2003 server. yesterday, I put the database in archivelog mode. When I ask spfile location displayed in the location ORACLE_HOME\dbs.
    but when I created pfile using the spfile she is created at the location ORACLE_HOME\database. and there is also an another spfile. I put the log_archive_dest to one location other than flash_recovery_area in pfile, but it is to show the DB_RECOVER_AREA.

    today i saw archives created in these two places.

    can a database cause two spfiles. and work on them?

    can I remove a spfile to /dbs location.

    pls give me suggestion to remedy this

    Thank you and best regards.

    Show us the cut and paste the sql prompt, the output display,

    show parameter archive
    show parameter spfile
    

    Under Windows, the database file is the work one, dbs is designed for * nix systems. Then a former will work and is supposed to be used by oracle. Show us the output of the commands above so that we can see exactly what is happening.

  • ORACLE 9I R2, windows 2003

    In OTN is no longer the ORACLE 9I software version 2 for windows 2003... any ideas?

    Oracle put 9iR2 in support more than a year ago. They do not want to support him except for legacy clients, and if you are one of those that you already have the software. If this isn't the case, you should not install it.

    If you have an extended support agreement open an SR to metalink otherwise seriously consider using the software shipped in the current millennium.

    Extract the files in a directory of your choice. The extracted files are the installation of Oracle files. You will use the installer from this directory.

    >
    (1) make a FULL install 11 g on the existing (but defective!) version 10 g?

    Is not ideal. You are much better to get rid of (uninstall) 10 g.

    (2) uninstall (ugh!) the existing 10g version and THEN install the full version of 11g?

    Yes, certainly. This version is not yet compatible with your version of Windows. After you have installed has the potential to cause problems.

  • Oracle services on window 2003

    Hello team, does anyone know how can I start an oracle database service but not to open the database? I need to start an Oracle Service but I need to keep the database assembled. Or at least start the service but to keep the database closed or an off (never open).

    Version of database is 9.2.0.8.

    Thanks in advance.

    >

    oradim-new - sid test - startmode manual - srvc-OracleServicetest - srvcstart system

    If the service will start automatically, but the database will remain closed. Then, using a script I'll leave the database on the State of 'sleep '.

    No I just say? ;-)

    Seems simple enough. Why not try and "refine" as necessary thereafter.

    The other option would be to use "demand" Win service start and then control the service and so instance remotely as needed. If that fits your needs, maybe?
