It seems that RMAN has not saved the redo logs? is that correct?

How could recover from this situation?

concerning

There is an associated bug (it can still affect 10.2.0.4) with CAMILLE using current controlfile with until the TIME.

Try the process with the SEQUENCE up to THAT, instead of until the TIME.

  • 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
    run {

    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.

  • 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

    The use of the files managed by Oracle
    Internally, Oracle uses standard file system interfaces to create and delete files if necessary for the following data structures:

    * Tablespaces
    * Online redo logs
    * Control of files

    Through initialization parameters, you specify the directory of file system to use for a particular file type.
    EXAMPLE:
    The following parameters are included in the initialization parameter file:

    DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = ' / u01/oradata/sample.
    DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 = "/ u02/oradata/sample.
    DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 = ' / u03/oradata/sample.

    No, it won't, it will transfer personal files and settings. You will have to reinstall your applications from the original installation files or install CDs and DVDs.

    I am new to Windows Vista, but relatively competent in older versions. I installed the software on my new desktop computer. I am the only user on this computer and I have administrative rights. I installed the software in the Program Files directory. In the software, there is a folder for the working data file. I now try to 'restore' my data on this new computer file so that I can start working. I get an error message that says "you don't have permission to save in this location. Contact an administrator. "I have considered similar questions on this site and followed the advice to take possession of the file without success. I also created a new folder on the D drive, thinking maybe Vista I just wanted to keep C clean, but it gives me the same message. I can't save to the folder I created. Any advice?

    Program Files is a protected directory. If possible you create the working folder for the data in your user account instead. Is it possible in the options of the program the program in a directory of your user account? Or, if you think that any other user you may need to use this program, you could create the directory Public. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Is your database in archivelog mode? If so,.

    find the number of the data file (for the use of data instead of the name file number):

    SQL> select file#,name from v$datafile;
    

    Assume that n is the number of folder of the data file. Start rman and try to get it back:

    RMAN> RECOVER DATAFILE n;
    

    If it shows that you want to restore, restore the data file and recover:

    RMAN> RESTORE DATAFILE n;

    So I had to rename each file as below

    $ mv 2 /fnup/hwrc/oradata/spikey/sysaux01.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 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.

  • Restore the control file considerations

    Hello expert,

    Assumpition condition is:

    All the data files and the redologs are not damaged, but the controlfiles are damaged. We must restore the controlfile autobackup with the following command:

    RMAN > STARTUP NOMOUNT;

    RMAN > backup RESTORE CONTROLFILE AUTOMATIC;

    RMAN > ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;

    RMAN > RECOVER DATABASE;

    RMAN > ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

    Use of rman RECOVER, DATABASE redo logs to roll changes forward to control files. Can you explain what changes can be included? (Currently I only have one example: we add the new data file once the backup control file.) So we need roll forward the changes to control the file on the new added one.) Other examples?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Tong Ning

    Examine the contents of the controlfile.  He has the list of data files, the list of the archivelog files and list of rman backups.

    Archivelogs would be saved in the controlfile so that they can be applied.

    What about backups?  Subsequent backups would certainly no longer be in the controlfile.

    Last week I was simulating a crash of my database (Oracle 11.2.0.3, last group of patches) due to data files missing. So, I just removed the data file where my web application stores the data to see what's going to happen. But nothing happened, demand is rising and running and I was able to create new items in the user interface and save them. Normally, all these data are stored in oracle.

    After that I created a few articles, I bounced the database. Then I restored and retrieved the data file with RMAN. All items I created after the deletion of the data file were there.

    I would like to know, in which oracle order would write the DML commited to for recovery logs and the data file, so that I can explain the behavior of the application. I was wondering how the commited changes after deletion of the data file have been preserved even after the restoration of the data since the last backup RMAN file.

    Thanks for any input.

    Best regards

    Coby.

    every time that you agree to any transaction that the LGWR writes that transforms redo log buffer to restore the log file. When saturates redolog files then it launches checkpoint and writing each thin to the log file archive.

    DBWR writes data to the buffer cache of datafile only if it doesnot have free tampons with him.

    In your case, what could have happened is when you deleted the data file and made changes in the database. He could not write these changes to the data file and made the entery in the redo log file.

    so, after you have to bounce the database and restore the database and retrieve using the archiving log. you'd get output like media recovery complete and all the changes made to the database once you have deleted the data file, all the changes has returned to recovery.

  • Prepare disks for ASM (data files and FRA)

    I intend to place data files on a disc 1 (sd1) and disk2 (PSD) when the backup of files (FRA) on disk3 (SDC). Here's how I'd do:

    For data files
    Disk1 is divided into a single primary partition (with native Linux what ID 83 not formatted system)
    Disk2 is also divided into a single primary partition (with native Linux ID 83 system not formatted)

    oracleasm createdisk vol1/dev/sda1
    oracleasm createdisk vol2/dev/sdb1

    CREATE DISKGROUP DATA EXTERNAL vol1, vol2 REDUNDANCY;


    For backup FRA

    Disk3 is partitioned into four primary partitions: / Boot (ext3), / (ext3), swap (swap) and /u01 (ext3)

    The FRA will be put under the/U01 and then attend the ASM:

    oracleasm vol3/dev/sdc4 createdisk
    CREATE DISKGROUP DATA EXTERNAL vol3 REDUNDANCY;

    Now, the problem. (1) the/U01 has already be formatted in ext3; (2) Oracle (DBMS) software will also be place under/U01

    It will be a problem?


    Otherwise, I can put FRA on the same drive as the data files, i.e. on disk1 and disk2. In this case, I need to partition the disk 1 in two primary parititions sda1 and sda2 (native Linux system ID 83 not formatted), one for data files and another for FRA (do the same for disk2). The downside is that the data file and the file recovery will be on the same hard drive.


    Please offer some suggestions.


    Thank you

    Scott

    PS: in the environment of production, all the disc 1, 2 and 3 will be on hardware RAID 1.

    RAID 1 will protect you only a device failure. It won't protect you partition, the file damage system or user errors; It will be in the image of the errors and problems like any other data.

    So what happens if you delete by mistake / U01 or some other accident happens and you loose that partition? With your current setup, you will lose everything and will not be able to restore or recover the database. Put tablespaces FRA and DB on the same physical device is certainly a very bad idea, whether or not it is a RAID.

    ASM is not a software RAID 1 mirror. It ensures redundancy of data based on file extensions and knows about files of Oracle database, which is a very good thing. You probably do not want to specify 'external redundancy.

    In a production system, you'll certainly want to mux the critical data and to store the DB controlfiles, redo logs and finally archivelogs on media separate physically in order to avoid the single point of failures wherever possible. You can use partitions and volumes in ASM, but they should be separate physical drives, otherwise you will bypass the ASM data redundancy. You must also have a solid strategy for RMAN backup. The FRA is supposed to store backupsets RMAN, copies of the image, the important archivelogs and multiplexes of the copies of the database files and should therefore always on a separate physical disk.

    Unless you simply play, I strongly suggest that review you your current configuration.

  • Restore the data to backup the Windows XP system files

    I have a backup of the Windows XP system to an external drive.  I need to restore my data from this external hard drive files only.  I don't have an XP machine.  Ideally, I would like to restore my data files on a Windows 7 computer and save them to the external drive. Is this possible?  If so, simple step by step instructions can be provided.  Thank you.

    Hi Denise_898,

    1. How were you running the backup of files on Windows XP?

    2. what program did you use to backup files in Windows XP?

    If you use the ntbackup utility available in Windows XP, you use NT Backup Restore Utility for Windows 7.
