Purge the rman backup

• Pull on the RMAN backup archive logs?

  Environment:

  Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris

  Physical standby

  I have a gap of journal archive at the moment.  The missing archive logs have been saved on the primary and have not yet been transferred to waiting due to some maintenance work performed on the standby server.

  The database will be able to recognize that the missing archivelog files are in the RMAN backup files, restore them and send them to the update server standby for application?

  If not, will it restore manually, copy them to the standby server and save them for their application?

  Thanks a lot for your help!

  Were the archivelogs deleted on the primary once they have been saved? If they have been deleted on the primary, then you can:

  1 manually transfer the backup to forward files

  2 replace the archivelog destination configured on the eve

  3 restart the managed recovery on the standby process, and the computer should be able to detect and apply the missing archivelogs.

  If they have not been deleted on the primary and are always available in the archivelog directory configured, then the process of Data Guard should be able to detect and automatically fix the gap.

  If you have a long interval archivelogs missing and you use + ASM, you can also try to use an incremental backup to roll forward the database pending, this article provides a good step by step: the steps for Rolling forward a standby database using RMAN incremental backup. (Doc ID 836986.1)

• How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog?

  Hello

  How knowledge/check if the RMAN backup was performed using a current control file or database catalog? I mean RMAN prompt or sqlplus is it possible to know.

  Thank you

  You're welcome my friend

  You can see them using two methods.

  as I mentioned above, you can see them connect to the catalog database and you can query using the view that I sent

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV89601

  the other method is the list command, you must use the list command after connecting using rman "rman target / catalog cat_user/cat_pass@catdbtns" command

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmreprt.htm#BRADV8136

  Check the value of the control_file_record_keep_time parameter. The default value is 7 days. in the output of the list command, if you can see the old backups to the value, you must be sure that the backup information comes from the catalogue database

  SELECT * FROM parameter $ v where name = 'control_file_record_keep_time '.

  an example of command list

  the list of completed database before backup ' sysdate-10'.

• Restore the RMAN backup on another server

  Hello

  ENV: Oracle 10 g 2 64 bit, RHEL 5.8 64 bit on ASM, Database size = ~ 1.3 to

  Backup RMAN of PROD will FRA and then backed up to tape. I have limited access to the PROD because it is maintained by 3rd party.

  My client is planning to move this database on their own datacenter (from the 3rd party data center). For test purposes, I asked DBA of 3rd party to provide us with an export of drawings required data pump. Export takes about 8 hours, and the import takes the same time to the new location. To copy the files exported to new locations takes another few hours (over the network). The total size of the dump file is around 500 GB. Thus, a whole cycle of Export-Import-copy takes about ~ 20 + Hrs.

  I want to try another option to reduce the time required for the updating of the database of PROD and which is "use RMAN backup of PROD ' and restore it on the data center server. RMAN full backup takes ~ 4hrs PROD and the restoration should be at the same time (new server has better and faster HW, storage with a SSD). I found this thread very useful on the Oracle Forms on this topic:

  Restore backup RMAN on another server

  This thread contains very good example for a restoration of database on the file system.

  I have a bit of confusion because my database uses ASM. The default location of the backups in PROD is FRA (on ASM == > db_recovery_file_dest = + FRA ). If I understand correctly, the RMAN backup must be in the same place where he was on the PROD Server - i.e. the diskgroup FRA.

  If I get a copy of the part 3 RMAN backup, how would I copy on FRA?

  OR can / should I just change the init parameter "db_recovery_file_dest" on the new server to point to the file system directory where the backup (say "/ ora_backup") and RMAN will pick up and restore the database?

  Please advise!

  Best regards

  You can restore the backup files to any location, then you must configure the channel using the "CONFIGURE CHANNEL device type disk format 'new location ';

• Switch journal during the RMAN backup

  I saw a lot of scripts in RMAN backup that a manual log switching is performed in the first line of the script? That is - this goal, just to write the changes necessary to rebuild instructions DML/DDL of redo log online and start archiving process so db runs in log mode archive?

  This could be the only reason, but even this is not necessary, as would a log switch automatically to push the current log file again to do is archive log and include it in the RMAN backup.

• make it work how I want that he the rman backup-shared-disk fix - up

  Network of Oracle greetings!
  (Oracle 10g enterprise edition on windows server 2003 platform)
  
  http://www.DBA-Oracle.com/t_os_error_os5_access_denied.htm
  
  is a link where a fix on the location of the rman backups is suggested. It asks me to change logon oracleservicesid. my database is what runs a Web site. When I change the connection oracleservicesid the Web site is no longer functions.this is not desirable.
  How can I fix it?
  Even on my test server that hosts the databases, change the opening of session oracleservicesid to administrator, disable all connections made to the database on the local network using SQL developer. How to not let that happen?
  
  Help, please

  10g is desupported for a long time.
  Your question is you backup to a network drive.
  The solution provided by Donald Burleson is correct.
  Why the site no longer works is not clear that you provide no error message, or whatever.
  Course, a simple solution would be to buy an extra drive to connect directly to the server.
  Your post is poorly understood why you plan to implement that.
  Also, your statement on the test server is far too vague. You did not yet provide no error message.

  Anyway, you can easily restore the database on the new host using the steps mentioned in this link:

• How to find the total size of the RMAN backup files?

  Hello

  env: Oracle 10 g 2, RHEL 64 bit

  My customer has a production database where rman backups are taken: level 0 backup every Sunday and level 1, Monday to Saturday.

  I have very limited access to this database of production because it is managed by a third party, and they don't give me my required info (don't know why). I don't have access to the rman repository. To connect to the database that I have to connect to a staging server, then connect to the database server. I have no access to Enterprise Manager. So in short, my access is limited. I want to collect information on the total size of the files of rman backup - both for level 1 to level 0 backups separately. I understand that this info can be retrieved from the rman repository. Is there a dictionary views/tables of data where I can get this info?

• How to apply archivelogs existing according to the RMAN backup

  Hello
  
  I test a few scenarios and I am stuck on the scenario where I would have bene able to recover the disk with a full backup of RMAN and some archivelogs according to this backup.
  
  I restore my controlfile and restore my full RMAN backup database. Recover the database after that will recover all archivelogs after the backup. They are seated in the correct files on the drive. I guess it has to do with the controlfile who does not know these archivelogs as the RMAN full backup in the ontrolfile. Assuming that I can't retrieve any other controlfile, is there a way to apply these archivelogs?

  The RMAN recovery catalog would still know archive and handle it for you. If you are not using a recovery catalog and that you need to re-create your control file, then you must use the catalog command to indicate the control file that they are there.

  Example of flash recovery

  RMAN> catalog recovery area;
  

  Example of directory

  RMAN>CATALOG ARCHIVELOG '/u01/log/1_600_archivelog.log';
  

  Work on 10G and newer.

• Create the RMAN backup database

• Restore the Rman backup in a database to a different database

  I want to restore a machine (RMAN) backup to another machine with a different instance name. I want to keep the target database instance name.
  
  a machine has instance PROD, I take rman backup "PROD" A machine instance and to restore that backup to the machine B which has an instance 'UAT '. I want to restore the backup of "PROD" instance for instance 'UAT', the two are on a different node, please help me how can I achieve it.

  Why do you think there could be a conflict?

  In addition, the steps that I pointed out are rename restored PROD to UAT the last step.

  When you use RMAN to RESTORE and RECOVER a database, the DBID and DB_NAME should be the same as it was when the backup was performed. The Instance_Name (ORACLE_SID) may be different.
  The DB_NAME can be changed after the RECOVERY is complete.

  The DBNEWID Utility Oracle (program name 'nest' in $ORACLE_HOME/bin) should be used to change the DB_NAME of PROD to UAT on your UAT server, once the RESTORE is complete.

• recover the database by using the RMAN backup archivelogs

  Hello
  
  I tried to find the resolution of this problem in google a lot but couldn't find something useful.
  
  Location:
  
  We try to clone the dev environment of production that are completely on different servers and do not share a common mount point.
  Backup RMAN of PROD with RMAN as well as arch newspapers are kept in this mount point.
  We took control of backup files of PROD restored in DEV fired restore with recovery until a when not.
  Turns out that the sequence was not saved in right backupsets there if recovery has not requested more arch newspapers that are present in the PROD.
  Archs are stored in ASM and only way out is to take of RMAN backup of them.
  We control the file as a repository for RMAN.
  
  my questions are
  
  1. surely, I need to take backup of the control file after I take the log arch by RMAN backup and restore this file command in the DEV of so that when I start RMAN recovery in DEV, database will be able to find the backupset with arch newspapers. But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?
  
  2. If we did not have a point of common Assembly and then after sending the backup destination elements how the database would be the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source?
  
  Suppose that in the source backups are stored in/backup/rman
  in destination copy us in/backup/clone
  in the PROD control file, their locations are saved in/backup/rman
  so if I restore this command file in custom DEV it find the elements of backup in/backup/rman?
  is it possible to save a backup of outside item in the control of a database file?
  
  
  3 al ' ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance? (sending of newspapers without DR)
  
  The help is very appreciated.
  
  Kind regards
  Marjorie Dutta

  1. .... But the new restore a control file will delete the data files restored information?

  N ° provided that you do not have renamed, moved or abandoned any of the data files that were already copied in DEV. (also, subject that you did not add da new Production data between two backups - otherwise the new controlfile file will wait as datafile also to be present at DEV).
  You will do an incomplete recovery until a certain SNA / sequence # if information subsequent archivelogs beyond your point of recovery in the controlfile are redundant. In addition, a RESETLOGS would be done when you OPEN the database.

  2... how to know the locations of the game copied to the new location of the control file that is restored from the backup source database?

  What is the order CATALOG. In 9i, CATALOGUE could only of catalog datafilecopy. In 10g and more, you can BackupPieces CATALOGUER. Thus, it would "update" the controlfile (which is the RMAN Repository) with information about the BackupPieces that are present in a replacement / new location.
  See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta011.htm#sthref230

  3. ... ASM, is there another way to extract the PROD archive logs and apply them to a cloned instance?

  According to the version you are using, ASMCMD has a 'cp' command to copy the files from the DSO for the operating system. However, you cannot use ASM to apply directly the archivelogs. You always use the 'RECOVER' of RMAN or SQL command line command.

  but the dbid can be different. This is the error.

  You may need to restore the controfile of these backups first before you can restore files.

  in this case to do that:

  Start the db2 as nomount with your pfile file instance

  then
  RMAN target /;

  RMAN > RESTORE CONTROLFILE 'filename '; -"the file name is backups that you have copied the disk."

  can do the

  backup from the list; If the controlfile is restored then the info should be there already if not then you can make the order of catalog again recovery area.
