Restore the control file considerations

• restore / recover the control file

  Hello
  in 10g, I lost all the files of ctl and I want to restore/recovery of backups RMAN.
  Oracle documentation:
  

  6.4.1.4 Restoring a Control File When Using a Recovery Catalog
  Restoring a lost control file from autobackup is easier when using a recovery catalog than when using only the control file to store the RMAN repository. The recovery catalog contains a complete record of your backups, including backups of the control file. Therefore, you do not have to specify your DBID or control file autobackup format.
  
  To restore the control file, connect RMAN to the target database and the recovery catalog, and bring the database to NOMOUNT state. Then issue the RESTORE CONTROLFILE command with no parameters, as in this example:
  
  % rman TARGET rman/rman CATALOG catdb/catdb
  RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE;

  After that I should publish any statement to RECOVER or change the editing of the database and alter database open would be enough?
  
  Thank you.
  Is there a complete senario anywhere?

  The restoration is correct.

• Restore the backup files. Windows Vista Expert needed!

  Help!  Recently, a virus wiped out my operating system (Windows Vista).  C drive my PC had literally nothing about it.  Then I got a new VISTA OS installed by a repair shop.  I tried to restore my previous configuration from the backup I had on an external drive, using the Vista Backup & Restore utility.  This "worked" except that he restored the backup files in a separate location on the C drive.  Using the windows Explorer I see all those files that have been restored in a folder named "Thom".

  However the new Vista installation has the user name "Thomas" where a configuration complete, (Documents, Favorites, desktop, etc.), was created.  When I connect, it's the config I see (new office, new files and folders for this new user, 'Thomas'.  I want to use the configuration, (files, folders, office computer), under the former name "Thom", not this new one, "Thomas."

  I'm afraid to just delete the files under Thomas I'm afraid I'm going to destroy my access to Windows in general.  Currently, I show only a user account in the control panel.  I don't have the 'Thom' user in the folder of the user within the new configuration.  How to delete files and folders under Thomas and use files and folders in the folder named Thom that is located on drive C?

  All restoring the backup files are there, they show just a folder on drive C, titled "Thom".  When I connect to my pc it takes me to your desktop created by the new facility.  I need ALL the files in the backup (office, e-mail, files & folders), not the Setup program created by the installation of the new Vista.  I want to be able to connect to windows and have it use the backup files, which are located in this folder named "Thom" which show on the C drive.

  Can I simply combine or merge or copy the files in the folder 'Thom', I want to use in the files of the same name, (contacts, documents, Favorites, desktop), which are under the name of "Thomas"?  Can I remove folders under the user 'Thomas' and all it's files and records and hope that windows then takes me in the files that I want to use?

  I use my laptop, (HP Pavilion, 64-bit), for business and I'm dead in the water until I can access my old configuration.  I am on day 5 of this disaster and I am desperate, please help!

  Hello Reggie999,

  Thanks for the return of the response.  You can move the files/folders in the 'Thom' folder in your new user account 'Thomas '.   Or another option would be to create a new user account and call it what you want, then move the folder in this user account.

  If you create a new user account and move your files/folders to this account, it would be nice to delete the user account 'Thomas '.  Just make sure that you have all of the files in the profile that you have recently created/added.

  Fran,

  Syslog does not display the IO error.

  I followed the steps below to solve the problem.

  1] stop the database

  [2] restore control01.dbf to the backup location.

  [3] mount the database
  [4] recover database until cancel

  [5] Alter database open resetlogs.

  Also, takes a full cold of RMAN backup of the database, the multiplex control files and recovery logs.

• ORA-00338: 3 log thread 1 is more recent than the control file

  Hello
  
  I met the error ORA-00338 while performing the recovery of incomplete data:

  I made this recovery on oracle 10g, database of ASM.
  
  1. What are the possible causes of this error ORA-00338?
  
  2. This error occurs at the beginning of the media recovery, RMAN is applying logs archived. If RMAN does newspapers "Online REDO" after applying "archived" logs required for recovery or in front of them?
  
  3 rman is how this journal in line 3 is more recent than the control file? How can I me SNA of the journal online & file control in my environment?
  
  Here are some details related to checkpoint scn / change # info. I found in my environment:

  You could try the incomplete recovery has to do only the RESTORE DATABASE with RMAN.
  Then, using the SQLPLUS command line, issue a RECOVER database with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE until CANCEL. See which he records guests for and monitor messages in the alert.log

  Hello;

  That's what I'd do:

  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;
  }

• Restore the data file

  Hello
  
  Initial situation and config:
  
  Server: Win2k3 Sp1 32 bit
  Database: 10.2.0.4 Standard noarchivelog mode
  RMAN catalog on different server.
  Cold backup
  
  
  Therefore, I was invited to do a restore from a backup of database. What he needs, it's to restore the controlfile, spfile and a data from a backup file complete performed via RMAN. He does NOT INTEND to use them, they just want to see their restored from the backup.
  
  Restore the spfile and the controlfile is not a problem, and I was able to restore them to a Test directory. But since I can't restore datafile 1 to 'C:\dest', I googled how to make these.
  
  I came up with these, which I think who should restore a data file to a different location, but I don't know if it's okay. And since I started on the database server, I prefer to ask first.
  
  The value of newname to 'C:\datafiles\datafile1.dbf' to 'C:\Test\datafile1.dbf ';
  restore the data file 'C:\Test\datafile1.dbf '.
  
  Would this work? It must be run with the open database altering State and work and will not somehow it. If not, can someone help me here? The only thing needed, he did restore a data file just to get...
  
  Thanks for the tips!

  Add this

  RMAN > run {}
  value of newname for datafile 'C:\datafiles\datafile1.dbf' to 'C:\Test\datafile1.dbf ';
  restore the data file ' C:\Test\datafile1.dbf';l
  switch datafile;
  }

  It will update the control file with the new location of this data file

• recover the database unitl cancel using the control file

  Yes, you can 'restore to cancel' several times.

• 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.

  SQL > startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initBRCPRD.ora

  SQL > create database 'BRCPRD '.

  MaxInstances 32

  MAXLOGHISTORY 1

  maxLogFiles 192

  maxlogmembers 3

  ..

  .

  .

  < snipped >

  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.

  Each of us has started early, don't worry.

  (1) analyze the errors:

  ORA-01081: cannot start already running ORACLE - he stop first

  your database are open? Check it with--> sqlplus > select status from v$ instance;

  (2) following error:

  ORA-00202: control file: ' D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\ORADATA\TEST\TEST_CONTROL01. CTL'

  ORA-27038: created file already exists

  OSD-04010: option specified, file already exists

  Explain to: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9629124

  (3) to create controlfile your database should be in status "Nomount". So:

  SQL > shutdown immediate;

  SQL > startup nomount;

• 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.
