Recovery window retention policy removes the archive logs before backup?

• Remove the archive logs from before the resetlogs

  Hello
  
  I use a cleanupscript to my archive logs. I work with a database of return of flame and running of tests, so I did a bit of resetlogs open in my DB.
  
  However, this script does not seem to take the archive logs away from before the resetlogs. Is there a way I can always make a backup of these easily?
  
  
  Run {}
  allocate channel t1 type disk;
  OVERLAP archivelog all;
  format of entry archivelog backup to remove sequences 5 ' / oracle/RMAN/backups/${SID}/backups/DISK_ARC_%d_%s.%p';
  current backup controlfile as ' / oracle/RMAN/backups/${SID}/backups/DISK_CTL_%d_%s.%p';
  output channel t1;
  }
  
  
  (until the 5:5 sequence is the last log applied on standby)

  If, once that you the database in resetlogs. can no longer needed the repository information, you tell me what you will do with these archives?

  still, you can keep in the repository as

  RMAN > catalogue archivelog 'archive_file ';

  then it will be registered in the repository

• RMAN never removes the archive log backups

  Hi all
  I use Recovery Manager to back up a database (9i v2) with the following characteristics:
  The database is in mode archive, the parameter CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME = 7, I do not use a recovery catalog db (alll rman information written to the db control file) and finally, I use default CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY to REDUNDANCY 1;
  I programmed the following to run every afternoon inside RMAN:
  run
  +{+
  View all;
  cross-checking of backup;
  delete noprompt obsolete;
  allocate channels ch1 disc type;
  backup
  tag data = "full_database_backup_and_ctl" include current controlfile
  format "d:\oracle\backup\db/fulldb_%u%s%p".
  SQL 'alter system switch logfile;
  backup
  ARCHIVELOG all delete input format 'd:\oracle\backup\db\arch_%u%s%p ';
  backup current controlfile "d:\oracle\backup\db\ctl_%u%s%p" format
  Output channel ch1.
  +}+
  Once the above script finishes executing, a tape of the whole repertoire d:\oracle\backup\db backup occurs.
  Normally I expect full *, ctl * and arch * files, since 2 days, should be deleted, but instead, I noticed that vault files are NOT removed from the directory (that is, they become never obsolete).
  This causes the player to fill up, and I'm running out of disk space.
  Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
  
  Thank you
  Yiannis

  I read not only tablespaces...

  But you have offline storage?

• delete the archive logs after cold backup?

  Hi all
  my database is in archivelog mode, I do COLD backup every night, can I just remove the archive logs after I do my cold backup, because there is no need of them, as the closed DB should have all the info in the archived papers
  
  and archive connected is needed only during the day, if a sudden power outage that happened.
  
  Thank you very much

  The ArchiveLogs allow you RollForward a backup restored to a specific point in time.

  Assuming that stop you your database at 23:00 (2300) every night and backup up to 11 h 45 (2345) tracks...

  Significant transactions entered between 15:00 and 16:00 on Friday, but a person deleted by mistake the lines (or some other lines) at 17:00

  your current backup strategy of "restoration" of the database only allows 23:00 Thursday night. If you also back up your archivelogs (in this case, the backup of Friday night would the archivelogs), you restore Thursday night backup 'cold' and "rollforward" by publishing a RECOVER database with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE until 16:00 Friday.

• Problem with the archive log when you use RMAN for backup and restore (11g 2)

  Hello world
  Please help me solve this problem.
  I'm just beginner in Oracle Database (11 g 2). Today, I had a problem, I tried to back up and restore my db by RMAN. I delete all the files in /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl / * , then I restore them easily, but the point is I have a table, I can restore Hungarian, but cannot restore anything ranks in it (something wrong with step restore database). I'll tell the detail below.
  -First, I create a 'Day' with command table create table hr.day (varchar (20)) day. Then I backup complete by this:
  run{
allocate channel bkp device type DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB_FULL_%d_%T_s%s_p%p' ;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 tag 'DB_FULL' database include current controlfile;
backup as compressed backupset tag 'ARCL_BKP_FULL' archivelog all delete input;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel bkp;
}
  

  
  D ' other hand, I have insert 'Monday' to table. then do an incremental backup by this:

  run{
allocate channel bkp device type DISK FORMAT '/u01/backup/DB_INC_%d_%T_s%s_p%p' ;
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 tag 'DB_INC' database include current controlfile;
backup as compressed backupset tag 'ARCL_BKP_INC' archivelog all delete input;
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backup;
delete noprompt obsolete;
release channel bkp;
}

  Repeat 7 times (Monday-> Saturday). And I got these files:

If i ignore it and open the database, just my table in full backup come back but rows was not restored. I'm sure the problem is my archive log backup but i don't know how to solve it. Plz help me.

  Sorry for a long post.


  > 1 and from the 1205841 SNA sequence

  The SCN that indicates Oracle is above the range of SNA that you have in the ArchiveLog backups for sequence 1 to 15 (15 sequence ends at 1205840).

  The message

  channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring archives Journal

  Archives journal thread = 1 sequence = 15

  channel ORA_DISK_1: backup/u01/backup/DB_INC_ORCL_20160120_s117_p1 piece reading

  channel ORA_DISK_1: piece handle = / u01/backup/DB_INC_ORCL_20160120_s117_p1 tag = ARCL_BKP_INC

  indicates that he has restored the sequence up to 15

  You can check the log file alert database instance for messages on the fact of recovery.

  He is now asking sequence #1 it seems you did a RESETLOGS after sequence #15.

  Note: If you have NOT issued a COMMIT after the line is INSERTED in the table 'Day', the recovery of the database will have no * transactions * to retrieve.  An uncomitted transaction is cancelled.

• With RMAN for backup, but not with the archive logs

  We run a 10.2.0.4 database and the rest 11.2.0.3. All databases are on RHEL 5.7.
  
  Our backups are via RMAN, with the data files, controlfiles and spfile saved to disk, then each day, it is copied off site to a backup server.
  
  My question is around logs archiving and RMAN.
  Our current situation is:
  -We do not save the logs to archive via RMAN. for example: backup of the list of the archivelog all; gives "specification does not match backups in the repository.
  -We set the archive_lag_target so archiving logs is produced every 30 minutes.
  -a cron job running on a remote server runs periodically to synchronize data (rsync server) the directory of archives with a remote control.
  -daily archive logs on the server host are bzip. Purge of these newspapers is scheduled for more than 3 days rman 'window of recovery '.
  
  I'm interested in feedback as to if our strategy around archiving logs is correct or not.
  
  Should we be backup logs archiving via RMAN? Are there potential problems with our approach?
  We just kept our backups in this way the DBA in the past want to see newspapers archived as opposed to it while a backupset.
  
  Curious to know what others are doing.

  Hello

  Welcome to OTN!

  Archivelogs with RMAN backup is a better option. When the archives are supported by RMAN, RMAN would be aware of the backup items which are required at the time of the recovery archives. You don't have to do it manually.

  On the disk space, you can delete the archives once they were saved by RMAN.

  RMAN > delete any backup archivelog entry;

  This supports the archivelogs and then remove the archives from the disk.

  If you have a dataguard configured, you can set the deletion policy 'applied on Eve', which removes the archives as and when they are applied to the database ensures there by the management of disk space again.

  RMAN > configure archivelog political of deletion to applied pending;

• Problem with the Archive log in Oracle 11 g

  Hi gurus,
  
  I'm new in the DBA role and I have real problems with the archive logs - they are written to the wrong place.
  This is my environment:
  Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x 64 Edition; Oracle 11g EE + ASM;
  I did everything according to the instructions.
  I did the following:
  1. install Oracle 11 g software
  2 instance created using DBCA for ASM in the same House and added a no formatted disk as a DATA disk group
  3 database instance created using DBCA mode archive using ASM for data files. I've mirrored controlfiles and redo online records on the C: drive. I created flash_recovery_area and a reference to it when the instance was created.
  4. start to import the data.
  
  And here's the problem - for an unknown to me reason archive logs are written on 2 places: 1. in the flash_recovery_area, 2; IN MY ORACLE_HOME!
  
  I opened with EM dbconsole init settings and found that there is a single parameter, that points to this place (standby_archive_dest =' docs in the % ORACLE_HOME%\RDBMS, it is written that it is an obsolete parameter). Is another parameter that I found (LOG_ARCHIVE_LOCAL_FIRST = TRUE - I put it to FALSE), but nothing to help continue to write in ORACLE_HOME.
  
  How can I stop it? If I can't stop, so what happens in production? Should I manually delete all newspapers of this Archive - it will be madness!

  Try to set log_archive_dest_1 specifically. Example: -.

  ALTER system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 400G;
  ALTER system set db_recovery_file_dest = '+ ASM_ORADATA42;
  ALTER system set log_archive_dest_state_1 = reporter;
  ALTER system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 is 'LOCATION = USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST VALID_FOR =(ONLINE_LOGFILE,ALL_ROLES)';.
  ALTER system set log_archive_dest_state_1 = enable;

• My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.

  My XP Home Edition has been plagued by a ghost at startup window since I removed the Bing toolbar.  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.  I think that this problem is related to a very slow start.  I have this problem have fought for almost a year and cannot locate the source.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  original title: Ghost at startup window

  The window title bar is simply labeled "Microsoft" and the window is empty.

  It appears in the Applications tab of the Task Manager?   If so, use with the right button go to the process about which app it is.   If the name of the Image doesn't have a clue you could also use ProcExp to see what is the command line.  (Press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to start TM.   Other OS show the command line in TM, but I don't think that makes XP.)

• Retention policy for the grid control

  Hello

  One of our clients wants to change the retention policy of the Grid control to 2 years in order to check the statistics of the application of these last 2 years,

  Default purge policy is as follows:

  Raw metrics - 7 days

  An hour aggregate metrics data - 31 days

  A day aggregate metrics data - 365 days

  Having someone of you will never change these default policies to a great values?

  I'm afraid of performance issues

  Depends on what policy they want change, but I n ' tthink this will help you at all.  If they are looking for AWR data, it is not stored in MS, unless you configure CWA warehouse.   EM will be measures such as SQL response time, but it does not store the SQL query and the stats you'd see in an AWR report.   Storing so for 2 years will not help.  If you want just generic performance history, then changing strategies of purge will be fine, but you don't want to store the raw data for 2 years. Keep in mind that you will increase the size of your repository database as well.

  You can delete these files without any problems. Just make sure you stop the services of the application first, remove files, then start the application services.

• Truncate a table without removing the redo log

  Hi Experts,
  
  Could you please tell me is it possible to truncate a table without removing the Redo log. In fact, I know it is not possible, but some body asked me the same question, and I want to be sure before answering him.
  
  Help, please.

  I'm not familiar with these tearms (Flashback or Rman backup). But I acccess DBA. Could you please tell me the procedures.

  You can restore data from a backup or export.

  You cannot use FLASHBACK to recover the data unless you use GR 11, 2 and that you have prepared (using TOTAL RECALL) for this in advance.
