Removal of log file archive on the backup database

Hi all

This command delete CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY to APPLY ON STANDBY archive log file automatically on the basis of data pending?

Thank you

Hello

There are two areas... (1) primary 2 pending)

I thought that you have set this parameter on primary... So like I said if set you in primary this custom delete archive logs in the standby mode.

But if you choose standby, Yes it will be erased.

More evidence - based Archivelogs maintenance ensures [464668.1 ID]

I hope this helps...

    Target:

    (1) I have a 12.1.0.2 database unique main enterprise 'testdb' as database instance running on the server "node1".

    (2) I created physical standby database "stbydb" on the server "node2".

    (3) DataGuard running on the mode of MaxAvailability (SYNC) with roll forward in real time 12 default c apply.

    (4) primary database has 3 groups of one-man redo. (/oraredo/testdb/redo01.log redo02.log redo03.log)

    (5) I've created 4 standby redo logfiles (/oraredo/testdb/stby01.log stby02.log stby03.log stby04.log)

    (6) I do RMAN backup (database and archivelog) on the site of relief only.

    (7) I want to use this backup for full restore of the database on the primary database.

    He is a DR test to simulate the scenario that has lost every primary & Eve total servers.

    Here is how to save, on the database pending:

    (1) performance 'alter database recover managed standby database Cancel' to ensure that compatible data files

    (2) RMAN > backup database;

    (3) RMAN > backup archivelog all;

    I got elements of backup and copied to primary db Server something like:

    /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq099p_.BKP (data files)

    /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.BKP (spfile & controlfile)

    /Home/Oracle/backupset/o1_mf_annnn_TAG20151002T133357_c0xq15xf_.BKP (archivelogs)

    So here's how to restore, on the main site:

    I clean all the files (data files, controlfiles oder all gone).

    (1) restore spfile from pfile

    RMAN > startup nomount

    RMAN > restore spfile from pfile ' / home/oracle/pfile.txt' to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

    (2) modify pfile to convert to db primary content. pFile shows below

    *.audit_file_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB/admin/testdb/adump '

    * .audit_trail = "db".

    * full = '12.1.0.2.0'

    *.control_files='/oradata/testdb/control01.ctl','/orafra/testdb/control02.ctl'

    * .db_block_size = 8192

    * .db_domain = "

    *.db_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

    * .db_name = "testdb".

    * .db_recovery_file_dest ='/ orafra'

    * .db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10737418240

    * .db_unique_name = "testdb".

    *.diagnostic_dest='/opt/Oracle/DB '

    * .fal_server = "stbydb".

    * .log_archive_config = 'dg_config = (testdb, stbydb)'

    * .log_archive_dest_2 = "service = stbydb SYNC valid_for = (ONLINE_LOGFILE, PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name = stbydb'"

    * .log_archive_dest_state_2 = 'ENABLE '.

    *.log_file_name_convert='/testdb/','/testdb /'

    * .memory_target = 1800 m

    * .open_cursors = 300

    * runoff = 300

    * .remote_login_passwordfile = "EXCLUSIVE."

    * .standby_file_management = "AUTO".

    * .undo_tablespace = "UNDOTBS1.

    (3) restart db with updated file pfile

    SQLPLUS > create spfile from pfile='/home/oracle/pfile.txt'

    SQLPLUS > the judgment

    SQLPLUS > startup nomount

    (4) restore controlfile

    RMAN > restore primary controlfile to ' / home/oracle/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20151002T133329_c0xq0sgz_.bkp';

    RMAN > change the editing of the database

    (5) all elements of backup catalog

    RMAN > catalog starts by ' / home/oracle/backupset / '.

    (6) restore and recover the database

    RMAN > restore database;

    RMAN > recover database until the SNA XXXXXX; (this YVERT is the maximum in archivelog backups that extends beyond the scn of the backup of the data file)

    (7) open resetlogs

    RMAN > alter database open resetlogs;

    Everything seems perfect, except one of the file log roll forward pending is not generated

    SQL > select * from v$ standby_log;

    ERROR:

    ORA-00308: cannot open archived log ' / oraredo/testdb/stby01.log'

    ORA-27037: unable to get file status

    Linux-x86_64 error: 2: no such file or directory

    Additional information: 3

    no selected line

    I intended to use the same backup to restore primary basic & helps record traffic and the downtime between them in the world of real output.

    So I have exactly the same steps (except STANDBY restore CONTROLFILE and not recover after database restore) to restore the database pending.

    And I got the same missing log file.

    The problem is:

    (1) complete alert.log filled with this error, not the concern here

    (2) now repeat it in real time apply won't work since the Party shall LGWR shows always "WAITING_FOR_LOG."

    (3) I can't delete and re-create this log file

    Then I tried several and found:

    The missing standby logfile was still 'ACTIVE' at present RMAN backup was made.

    For example, on db standby, under Group #4 (stby01.log) would be lost after the restoration.

    SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

    GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

    ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

    4 19 ACTIVE 133632

    5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

    6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

    7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

    So until I take the backup, I tried on the primary database:

    SQL > alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = delay;

    This was the Group of standby_log side Eve #4 was released:

    SQL > select GROUP #, SEQUENCE #, USE (s), the STATUS from v$ standby_log;

    GROUP # SEQUENCE # USED STATUS

    ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------

    4 0 0 UNASSIGNED

    5 0 0 UNASSIGNED

    6 0 0 not ASSIGNED

    7 0 0 UNASSIGNED

    Then, the backup has been restored correctly without missing standby logfile.

    However, to change this primary database means break DataGuard protection when you perform the backup. It's not accept on the production environment.

    Finally, my real questions come:

    (1) what I do may not do on parameter change?

    (2) I know I can re-create the control file to redo before delete and then recreate after. Is there any simple/fast to avoid the standby logfile lost or recreate the lost one?

    I understand that there are a number of ways to circumvent this. Something to keep a copy of the log file waiting restoration progress and copy up one missing, etc, etc...

    And yes I always have done no real-time applies "to the aid of archived logfile" but is also not accept mode of protection of production.

    I just want proof that the design (which is displayed in a few oracle doc Doc ID 602299.1 is one of those) that backs up data backup works effectively and can be used to restore the two site. And it may be without spending more time to resume backups or put the load on the primary database to create the database before.

    Your idea is very much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    1--> when I take via RMAN backup, RMAN does not redo log (ORL or SRL) file, so we cannot expect ORLs or SRL would be restored.

    2nd--> when we opened the ORL database should be deleted and created

    3rd--> Expecting, SRL should not be an issue.we should be able to do away with the fall.

  • modify the INSTANCENAME parameter after the backup database

    Hello

    our primary database is configured as follows:

    db_name string prod01


    SQL > show the INSTANCENAME parameter
    VALUE OF TYPE NAME

    db_name string prod01


    SQL > show the INSTANCENAME parameter
    VALUE OF TYPE NAME
    ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
    instance_name string stbyprod01

    Now, the standby database must be enabled. Later, I want to change the stbyprod01 to prod01 INSTANCENAME parameter.

    The question now is: what does take to change the INSTANCENAME parameter? In fact the database pending will be

    already be activated and be considered and treated as a stand-alone database. The former primary database will be used no more.

    I would like to do the following:

    SQL > create pfile = 'initprod01.ora' of spfile;

    SQL > shutdown immediate;

    SQL > startup;

    That should be all - from my point of view (I know that LISTENER.) ORA and TNSNAMES. ORA should be modified, too).

    If someone has already experiences with the INSTANCENAME parameter change but sees some additional configurations: Please let me know!

    Rgds

    Jan

    1. you can use "alter system set instance_name" to change the value of the instance name.

    2. you must do the following to activate the standby database (NOTE:-this is only for the activation of the backup database and not the passage to digital database)

    1 startup nomount

    2. change the base of Mount Eve.

    3. change the database activate the database pending.

    4. change the database open.

  • How read the Archive.msf and .sbd files stored on the backup media without restoring the current profile?

    I have stored vast e-mail Archives of files on backup media to free hard drive memory. How to read Archive.sbd and Archive.msf selected files without restoring them to the current profile? Can I create a new profile and restore it temporarily?

    Tbirds mail-container has a pair of files

    (1) - name of the container (with no extension) here are all the emails one after the other.
    (2) container - name.msf one type of index, if deleted itwill be restored

    If there is any subcontainers, there is also a container - name.sbd which is a directory (map)
    In this directory there are new pairs or even directories.

    Files without extension is the mbox files. As they exist even when there is simply a directory .sbd and not emails, you need only point to this mbox (empty) file to load the tree entire (folder - map-) use the ImportExportTools add-on.

  • Size of the log file Archive

    Redlogfile size is 16 MB and generating the archivelog file size is approximately 10 Mb. what could be the reason?

    Oracle Version: 10.2.0.4

    OS: Windows

    Published by: Deccan charger 19 April 2010 23:31

    First of all:

    a redo log contains a lot of things necessary for instance etc. recovery an archived log is used only for the restorations - he didn't need all the stuff that is in a redo log, so when written CRA the archiving log that he does not write all knowledge, all that is required for restores

    Second:

    Archive logs is created with dimensions smaller, irregular, as the original redo logs. Why? [388627.1 ID]

    Goal
    Archive logs is created with dimensions smaller, irregular, as the original redo logs.
    Commands like:
    ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE
    or
    ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG...
    are not used to generate archives or change the log file. Thus, there is no parameter ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET set.
    What else could cause this behaviour?
    Solution
    From:
    Bug: 5450861: NEWSPAPERS ARCHIVE IS GENERATED with one SIZE SMALLER THAN THE REDO LOG FILES
    the explanation of this situation has 2 main reasons:
    1 archiving logs do not have to be in the same size. This was decided very long ago, when blank padding archiving logs stopped for a very good reason - in order to save disk space.

    2. the log command does not exist when a redo log file is 100% full. There is an internal algorithm that determines when to switch journal. It also has a very good reason - do the command of newspaper at the last moment may incur performance problems (for various reasons, outside the scope of this note).
    So, after that newspaper ordering occurs the archivers are only copying the information from the redo log files. As recovery logs are not 100% full after the command to log and archive logs are empty not filled after the copy operation is complete, this results in unequal files smaller than the original of redo log files.
    This is very apparent for very low (less than 10 MB) log files; as a result, produced 2.5 MB archive logs of 5 MB recovery logs are very visible.
    Just note that currently, the default log files are 100 MB in size. If the archives log files would be between 98 and 100 MB person would notice.
    The main concern that one must have for newspapers of archives files is a possible corruption. This can be easily verified by attempting a resumption of testing. When it's ok, the size of the log archive uneven should be of no interest, as is expected.

  • Log of archives by RMAN backup

    Topic: Backup of archive logs by RMAN

    I create newspapers archived in two locations on my server. I do backup of archive logs to a destination:

    Backup in back pain tablets

    ARCHIVELOG like the "$DEST1DR/%.arc" format "${RMBKUPDIR} arlog_ %U % _ %t".

    skip an entry delete inaccessible;

    So after that the archived logs are backed up on tape, they will be removed from dest1.

    On dest2 I remove newspapers archived by using a shell script, some files older than 7 days will be deleted.

    My question is this:

    If I do a rman restore and some archived logs that are present in dest2 needed, he uses them

    Or it will try to restore archived newspapers of the tapes (which were present in dest1 before they were deleted).

    If the answer is that the rman restore will not know anything either on the archived logs present in dest2, how can publicize rman; How can I change my backup or restoration of the rman scripts knows about the newspapers of dest1 and dest2, but removes logs from only dest1 using some commands rman similar to what I described above.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Yes, it will use dest2 archivelogs, but because you delete them without rman, he will try to restore from dest2 even if they are no longer present.

    You should do an overlap after deleting the files outside of rman.

    Moreover, it is better to use FRA and set up a deletion policy and never issue to remove or rm...

  • Removal of log files

    I'm running out of space on my folder/var/log. After having many problems with a cluster yesterday, I have a large number of log files in this folder. Any thoughts on which those can be deleted?

    My understanding is that any numbered log file could be removed safely (that is to say, vmkernel.33, or pass - 7.log.)  Here are some of the multiple log files I have. Suggestions are appreciated!

    In ' / var/log ', the following people have the file name, plus at least 4 filename.1

    Boot.log; cron; ksyms; e-mail log; messages; rpmpkgs; guarantee; spoole; vmkwarning

    Then I have:

    VMkernel and vmkernel.1 - 36

    In/var/log/vmware I have:

    esxcfg - boot.log 1-4
    hostd.log and 0.log - through the intermediary of pass - 9.log;
    several TGZ files, 'spend - support.tgz 1-4", all have date yesterday on them. Don't know what happened there...
    and a bunch of vmware-cim - 0.log through vmware - cim.9.log

    OK, so you get the idea...

    Hello

    Delete all log file that ends in a number. Those are backups. Also, remember to delete the log files from/var/log/vmware as well.

    The 'logrotate' configuration should be configured to do this automatically for you. Discover all the pointee VMware hardening Guideline by top Virtualizaition safety links ESX/ESXi section. It is a good step to take.

  • You can compress files saved to the backup profile?

    I'm saving up several Firefox profile for the backup folders, some are simple copies of the profiles, some are created via the FEBE extension: since they take up much space, can I compress with a program like 7zip saying? They will be usable?

    FEBE backups are already compressed. In a FEBE folder, right-click on a file and click to open (extension .fbu) with 7zip (choose 7zip > open archive); you will see the size and packed size. If 7zip is not on your system, right-click menu shortcut, open the program 7zip, click Tools > Options, check your settings on the tab of 7zip. (Extensions) as files are already compressed also. Saving by re - compress files would be probably minimal, if any. It might be more advantageous compensation large image files or a movie or some other items from your disk (delete or backup on CD/DVD).

  • How to remove a large file, belonging to the AppStore

    I found a 4.4 GB file on my MBP. It is located at /private/var/folders/dd/vwx7zz_d2m9g70cwxb_p5n9w0000gp/C/com.apple.appstore/497 799835/zyk4624423266348316897.pkg. How do I remove all?

    This procedure will remove some cache files. The files are generated automatically and do not contain any of your data. Sometimes they can become corrupted and cause problems like yours.

    Please, back up all data.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select this option:

    open $TMPDIR..

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. Depending on the web browser you use, you may need to press the return key. A folder with a long, random name should open. Inside, there should be a subfolder named 'C '. Drag that to the trash.

    Log off or restart the computer. Empty the trash. Test.
