• Get the former locations of the data files and Redo logs

  Version: 11.2
  Platform: Solaris 10
  
  When we manage hundreds of DBs, we do not know the locations of all DB files these allows DBs. say a DB goes down and you have all the required RMAN backups.
  
  When you restore the DB in a new location in the path of the new server, you must run the commands for the data files and ORLs below. But how do we know
  
  The former location of the data files.
  
  B. the old location of redo online stores that I can run
  
  run

  alter database rename file 'oldPath_of_OnlineRedoLogs' to 'newPath_of_OnlineRedoLogs' ;  --- Without this command , the restored control file will still reflect the old control file location

  Hello

  With the help of Oracle 11.2, you can use feature 'set newname for database' using OMF.

  SET NEWNAME FOR DATABASE TO '/oradata/%U';
  RESTORE DATABASE;
  SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
  SWITCH TEMPFILE ALL;
  RECOVER DATABASE;
  

  After the restore and recover databases (i.e. before resetlog open) you can do to rename redolog. Just a query column member from v$ logfile and deliver ' alter database rename file 'oldPath_of_OnlineRedoLogs' to 'newPath_of_OnlineRedoLogs ';

  When we use the DSO is much easier to use OMF because Oracle automatically creates the directory structure.
  But when we use the file system that the OMF does not serve due DBA dislikes system generated on file system names.

  If you don't like OMF file system, you can use the script on thread below to help restore you using readable for datafile names, tempfile, and redo.

• A SCN for the entire database and the different SNA for the data files?

  DB Version: 11 g
  
  I always thought that there is a unique SCN for the database as a whole.
  A quote from the link below as
  When a control point is completed, Oracle stores the RCS individually in the control for each data file file
  http://www.dbapool.com/articles/1029200701.html
  
  
  What does that mean? There is a SNA for the entire database, and there are individual SCN for each data files?

  Well, unfortunately, the article says more bad than good things. Or if I can't call them wrong, they are rather confusing and rather than clear things for the reader, its making them appear to look more confused.

  First things, YVERT is used for read consistency (CR) mechanism and the backbone of the notion of Multiversioning. The control point is the mechanism to help that recovery is decided. Contrary to what said article, not any kind of checkpoints update both the data file and the control file, and also, there is not a type of them as well. In addition, the article says that the LAST_CHECKPOOINT is set to NULL, while its actually set to the infinity since it is not possible to detect the moment when the database is opened, that the last issue of control over the file would be. In the case of complete control point, this number is saved and is also associated with the toa Controlfile own database leader at the next startup. If this is not the case, there is an inconsistency in the stop_checkpoint of the data file and the stop_checkpoint reocrded in the control file, leading to a recovery of the instance.

  There are several types of control points. Similarly, there are several types of SNA as well. Without going into the details of these, IMO, the article simply means that when the control point write over a file passes, oracle updates the file checkpoint on it and this is recorded in the Controlifle. as well.

• 2 data files and objects

  Hi all. Suppose I have a tablespace 'users' wich consists of 2 data files on different disks. How do I manage objects to improve performance, how to define this table must be in the first data file and table B in the second file? How to do such a thing? (B-)
  
  Published by: Junior sysdba on October 6, 2008 22:27

  Hello
  When we create an object in any tablespace, Oracle server itself selects the data file in the tablespace randomly and we cannot specify the data file for a particular object as a table. But it is when the object was created. Actually the server looks in the first available memory contiguous tfor storage.
  But we can actually manage the insertion of data in the object as table as data for a specific table should go to any particular data file. To do this follow these steps.
  1. before inserting data to estimate the size of data to insert.
  2. depending on the size use statement "Alter table allocate extended (datafile...)" to manually allocate scopes in advance.
  3 insert the data.

  This will ensure that the data are inserted in the extents allocated to a particular data file.

• OFA confuses me - why the points for editing data files 3?

  Hello
  
  I met lately about this statement:
  
  Table D-7 shows a hierarchical mapping of files of a compliant installation OFA sample with two directories of Oracle base and two databases. The database files are spread over three mount points, / U02, /u03 and /u04.
  
  
  
  of http://docs.oracle.com/html/B10811_05/app_ofa.htm
  
  My question is:
  Why three mount points (/ u02, /u03 and /u04) for the data files? Don' understant this.
  is it not better to store all the data files in a mount point?

  Although separate mount points don't necessarily mean that they are mounted on different tables, or readers, what examples are involving. Systems are often configured in this way for a number of reasons such as performance or recovery (ie. multiplexing of your recovery logs, or by placing data files for certain tablespaces on their own tables or units). The documentation is illustrating how be OFA compliant in this scenario.

• Enter the value for the data files:

  Hi all
  I use 10.2.0.1.0
  I have a tablespace "hg" with two data files.
  whenever I use after an order to drop this tablespace I hv asked values for data files
  Welcome is:
  
  SQL > drop tablespace hg, including content and data files;
  
  SQL > drop tablespace hg, including content and data files;
  
  I have two data files to the tablespace named as hg.dbf, hg1.dbf
  
  now what I hv value to enter? or how to calculate the value.
  
  
  Thank you

  Honey says:
  Yes I know its 'AND' but when I using the '&' then oracle asked me of ' enter the values of the data files: "k".
  Please try first, then the calculation of the value.
  It can be a variable binding value.
  If you find the answer please suggest steps

  Simple words, the "DROP TABLESPACE" command does not support '&' character. & is a substitution of placeholder for SQL variable * more.

  Even if you provide the value for the "data files" prompt, the command does not work as it would lead to "drop tablespace including contents tsname *"details of your file *.

• Defining the new path for the data files for restoring using the VALUE of NEWNAME FOR DATABASE

  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -----------| Holy Cow |-----------------------------
  
  
  So I had to rename each file as below
  

  $ mv 1 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/system01.dbf
  $ mv 2 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/sysaux01.dbf
  $ mv 3 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/undotbs01.dbf

  I would have been better in execution of the order for each data below file

  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE

  Now, I think, there is no advantage in using NEWNAME SET of DATABASE to. Only the disadvantages. I did anything wrong above?

  Martin;

  On the issue of the VALUE of NEWNAME FOR DATABASE, you must specify at least one of the first three of the following substitution variables to avoid collisions of names: %b f % U. see semantic entry for TO 'filename' for a description of the possible substitution variables.

  You use %f

  %b
  
  Specifies the filename without the fully qualified directory path. For example, the datafile name /oradata/prod/financial.dbf is transformed to financial.dbf. This variable enables you to preserve the names of the datafiles while you move them to different directory. During backup, it can be used for the creation of image copies. The variable cannot be used for OMF datafiles or backup sets.
  
  %f
  
  Specifies the absolute file number of the datafile for which the new name is generated. For example, if datafile 2 is duplicated, then %f generates the value 2.
  
  %U
  
  Specifies a system-generated unique filename. The name is in the following format: data-D-%d_id-%I_TS-%N_FNO-%f. The %d variable specifies the database name. For example, a possible name might be data-D-prod_id-22398754_TS-users_FNO-7.

• A loop of several data files and save in respect of each

  Here's what I'm trying to do, I have a file, Indesign CS5.5 basis, which we'll call the master file.  I have several data files of text delimited by tabs that contain a column engines and ReplaceWith.  I have the script so that I can take 1 text file and it goes through the InDesign file and made all the changes based on the text file.  What I need for the script to be able to do, is instead of asking the 1 text file:

  1. it prompts for a folder that contains all my text files

  2 begins by the first text file and not the FindReplace I already work based out of the main file in Indesign.

  3. Once finished the first text file, make a backup - from the Indesign file updated with any changes.

  4 file Indesign Master returns to the original state, less the changes is ready for the next text file.

  5. move the following text file and bounce the find/replace on the original master Indesign file.

  And then basically the steps 3-5 in loop until all text files have been processed.

  As I said, I did the process for one file at a time, I just need to make sure it can browse a lot of them without someone needing to keep this.

  Thank you!

  It would be files InDesign versioned the same name as the input text file but with the extension ".indd". You may need to consider to filter files in the getFiles() call, if you have files in your input file types, you do not want to deal with. It is clearer to all re - open the file of model on the disk, rather than come back and which is the same.
