• How can I specify location of the control file when the manual creation of DB?

  DB version: 11.2.0.4

  OS: Oracle Linux 6.6

  The CREATE DATABASE command creates the control file.

  CREATE DATABASE command is executed once you start the instance in NOMOUNT State as shown below.

  When you create the database manually, we can define the control_files parameter in the init.ora as below and control file will be created at this location. Right?

  control_files = ("" / u01/oradata/BRCPRD/BRCPRD_control01.ctl","/u01/oradata/BRCPRD/BRCPRD_control02.ctl "")

  When I was generating the DB using DBCA GUI creation scripts, it asks to enter the location of the Online redo logs and control files.

  I entered my desired location. But, I couldn't find CONTROL_FILES parameter in the init.ora file generated the DBCA. This is why I got confused. I think that DBCA is internally somehow. So thought I'd post it here.

  Hi John, OP

  Just checked the init.ora file created by DBCA. Although the parameter CONTROL_FILES is undefined, db_create_file_dest = '+ DATA_DG1' was created. OMF default location is defined by the db_create_file_dest parameter.

  So, I could safely use this script for the manual creation of DB, and during the CREATE DATABASE command execution, oracle will place CONTROL_FILES + DATA_DG1 using the format;

  +DiskGroup/dbname/filetype/filetypetag.file.incarnation

• Add other fields to sql * source file loader without including them in the control file

  Hello

  We have a file that we receive every day to an external resource. We load the file into Oracle using Sql tables * Loader!

  My question is, if external resources added more fields at the end of the file and I USED to change the control file to load (almost there will be right there without any use!)

  Will I get an error SQL * loader?

  or else, it will be fine!

  Thank you

  /HESI

  In general, SQL * Loader will simply ignore the extra fields at the end of the line.  However, there are exceptions to all rules.  To do a correct delimiter after the last field you load.  The additional fields must dressed not in the next line, unless you have authorized to do this.  If the end of the characters of the line of the source operating system do not match at the end of the characters in the line of the target operating system, then you need to deal with this in one of the various ways.  These are a few examples.

  Primary backup (change in your directory as needed)

  RMAN RUN {
  allocate channel d1 type disk;
  backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
  sql 'alter system archive log current';
  backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
  backup current controlfile for standby format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
  release channel d1;
  }
  

  Move the backup and duplicate like this:

  rman target sys/password@PRIMARY auxiliary /
  
  RMAN> run {
  allocate channel C1 device type disk;
  allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
  duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;

• Deleted data file update the control file?

  Hello!
  
  I deleted a file from data in a tablespace. It was done on purpose because I have no more need. Unfortunately
  I have not updated the database control file, now I get an error message:
  
  ORA-01157: impossible to identify or to lock the 202 data file - see DBWR trace file
  ORA-01110: data file 202: "D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\MINOTAUR\TMP_01.DBF."
  
  How update the control file to get rid of this error?
  
  I use Windows and exit DB 10.2.0.2.
  
  Thank you very much for your help!
  
  Christian

  I think that I made a mistake of reading here.
  Looks like you have deleted a TMP file.

  You then have to join v$ tablespace with v$ tempfile in the statement.

  It's a 10 G (or higher) database?

  Try to drop the tablespace that belongs to this data file, otherwise recreate the controlfile (needs database is offline)

  Hi Neeraj,

  It happens because you have not selected the area of mapping as STAGUING running.

  Open your interface, click each column of your data target store, make sure that "run them One" is marked on the "transit Zone".

  Then run your interface.

• How can I validate the data in the control file?

  Consider that the SQLLoader reads the data entry of the path file and loads the data in the base tables up on top of the description specified in the control file.
  First, the form is created:
  
  create table sql_loader_1 (load_time date, digital Champ_1, Champ_2 varchar2 (10))
  Example of control file:
  load_1.CTL
  
  load data
  INFILE "load_1.dat", "str"\r\n"
  insert into table sql_loader_1
  (
  load_time sysdate,
  Champ_2 position (01:10).
  Champ_1 position(11:20)
  )
  Note that positions 11 to 20 are loaded in positions 1 to 10 in Champ_2 and Champ_1. The load_time field is filled with time current (sysdate) load.
  
  Here is the data. The name of the file (load_1.dat) had been specified with the statement for infile in the control file.
  
  load_1.dat
  
  0123456789abcdefghij
  **********##########
  foo bar
  This is a very long line
  and the next one is
  short
  
  declared the Champ_1 as a numeric data type, but the input data file contains the data "Sue"(position 11:20) so the sql loader adds not the record to the database instead the record is written in the bad file. But I want to validate the data of the "(position 11:20) is digital or not." How can I post this in the control file itself? If it is not possible, how can I validate it in the database? give me a sample code to explain this

  Here are two ideas.

  Idea 1: This control file will check to see if the data to be loaded in Champ_1 contains a number (including the negative and decimal).

  load data
  infile 'load_1.dat' "str '\r\n'"
  insert into table sql_loader_1
  (
  load_time sysdate,
  field_2 position( 1:10),
  field_1 position(11:20) "decode(trim(translate(:field_1,'-0123456789.',' ')),null,:field_1,-999)"
  ) 
  

  If Champ_1 is a number or null, it is passed through, as is. If there is no numeric characters (in addition to '-'and'.') a distinct value-999 will be inserted for you allow to load the rest of the columns and easy to see the lines had data that cannot be loaded in Champ_1. This idea has its flaws (a string like "... ("will always drain the .bad file)

  Idea 2: Load the data into a staging table first (or define an external table) where all columns are VARCHAR2. Then use SQL or PL/SQL to validate data in the staging table in your process to move the data into the table with the actual data types.

• the steps of the control file multiplexing

  I am preparing for the OCP and I met the case below and I don't know which is the right answer.
  So, could help the guys take the right one and explain why?
  
  144: you want to protect your database from single point of failure by multiplexing by the control file. Your database is started using SPFILE. You must perform the following tasks
  1. stop the database instance;
  2 copy the control to the new location.
  3 configure the parameter CONTROL_FILES.
  4 restart the instance.
  Select the order in which these tasks must be completed:
  (a) 1,2,3,4
  (b) 3,2,1,4
  (c) 3,1,2,4
  (d) 2,3,1,4
  
  the answer said c) is good.
  
  Here is my explanation, please see if it's good?
  
  to ensure the consistency of the control file before copying again place, we must stop the database.
  Thus, the order is 2 must be after 1, so we got a) or c).
  to configure CONTROL_FILES, you must start the instance at least, so we can eliminate one) and we left with c).
  
  Correct me if I'm wrong.
  
  Thanks to a bouquet.

  YES, there should be two controlfiles, otherwise you get errror "Can' identity controlfile.

  My question is WHY NOT?
  These two controlfiles are the same, and instance would only need or read one of them to go further, then why not be able to mount the DB?

  It's depends on the parameter control_files you have defined in the PFILE/SPFILE file...
  multiplexing is to avoid the SPOF (single point of failure)...

  as you say, a lost controlfile... without informing you if the oracle database starts with unique controlfile... so, how can you know... If you continued if tomorrow you lost the other? While is it?

• Corrupt the control file

  Hello
  I try to simulate recovery scenarios. My Oracle database 11g is configured with two control files. I stopped the database and a corrupt control files by editing with random characters using a hex editor. When I started the database, everything is going like nothing happened. No warning, no errors, in Enterprise Manager the State control of the file is VALID. I opened the control file, but it is still published (so it has not been automatically replaced by the good, which is not a good thing anyway).
  Why is this happening? The system is unable to warn me if one of the control files is corrupt?
  
  Thank you

  Hi, Frank.

  Very nice work Helios (as usual).

  Thank you, I share just what I know thatsall

  Thank you, I learned something new today.

  The same for all users of the forum

  Normally, I clone cold backups so I don't need to manually create the controlfile.

  I see that your solution is contained in the following note;
  "Cloning of Oracle Application 11i with rapid Clone /R12 - database (9i/10 g / 11 g) using on Open Database [ID 760772.1] hot backup.

  You are correct, we mainly use this method for hot backup-Section advance clonning

  But I'm still curious to know if Nicolas is to create a clone of a hot backup or a backup to cold, and why he uses the 'ARCHIVELOG' option on his clone.

  It depends, for me I prefer to choose option NOARCHIVELOG and NORESETLOG

• Corrupt block is detected in the control file

  Hi all
  
  I have a scenario where I have set up regional advisory councils active / standby and I managed archive redo logs applied to sleep - everything was ok
  
  Versions - Oracle 11g R2, RHEL 5
  
  Scenario 1:
  Perfectly redo application log on the work of sleep when I don't create our software application tables using sql on the primary scripts until AFTER the stages of CAR/Dataguard completed successfully.
  
  
  
  Scenario 2:
  Redo log application does not work when I'm not running our sql scripts until I take a RMAN backup of the primary to be duplicated in the Standby
  
  Everything comes in the day before after the rman duplicate, archive logs is transferred, but now they are not applied.
  
  I see the ORA-00227: Corrupt block is detected in the control file: (block 1, block # 1) in the journal alerts when I put on standby in Recovery Mode
  
  My theory is that somehow our sql scripts are breaking my rman backups when I run them before creating a primary RMAN backup to load on Standby - I just need someone to indicate whether there is a possibility of their experience, if so I will contact the support of Oracle to continue the investigation. It's my first time working on CARS DG etc.
