• difference between sqlplus /nolog and sqlplus "/ as sysdba".

  HI ppl,
  
  Please help me with this... This is an emergency of lill
  
  On the oracle 10g platform, what is the difference between sqlplus /nolog and sqlplus "/ as sysdba".
  
  concerning

  Zombie says:
  Thnx for the people of responses,

  but not giving sqlplus/nolog... Disable writing to the Oder, the session is opened in mode nologing IE?

  concerning

  Laughing out loud

  Do not assume that everywhere where NOLOG is mentioned it means no. LOGGINg:-D. By sqlplus / nolog, you did nothing but had just the sql command prompt without really connecting as any user. You will still need to connect, by some users to start your work. This has NOTHING to do with do it again / cancel and anything else.

  The other command will actually to connect as user Sys with Sysdba role.

  That said, I STRONGLY suggest you to read this book for sure.

  Could you please specify what's that I use
  $ rman auxiliary sys/change_on_install@PROD

  then it will directly connect to the auxiliary or the database target (i.e. PROD) this means that it will bypass the catalog database and will use the target database control file.

  It will bypass the catalogue (nocatalog option uses) and connects to the auxiliary database. Auxiliary database is used to create a clone or standby database

  Hello

  Yes, the host is Windows Server 2003.
  I created a new service for the new SID. Followed all the steps to make the change

  How did you create the Oracle database Service? Have you used ORADIM to remove and create the new Instance?

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/create.htm#i1006533

  If you have created the new OracleServicePRTLservice, check who is started correctly.

  Then try a connection as follows from a DOS window:

  set ORACLE_SID=PRTL
  sqlplus / nolog
  connect / as sysdba
  

  Hope this helps.

• sqlplus / as sysdba with insufficient privileges error

  It seems that I found the solution:

  http://www.stojanveselinovski.com/blog/2014/07/07/Oracle-12C-developer-days-VM/

  Very funny this TWO_TASK / ORACLE_SID. :-)

  CurrentY I can connect to sqlplus / as sysdba - I'm going to restore the virtual machine and try again if this is really the solution. :-)

• sqlplus / as sysdba

  I am faced with the following question:

  On a database of eBS 11.1 data, I see that all known "sqlplus / as sysdba ' does not work, he responds with: become insufficient

  I have the password and as far as I can see, so the SYS password gets validated positively, but then he says I have to use the SYSDBA role to login as SYS, and that's the problem.

  So, I'm looking for a solution for this problem. Maybe if I can connect as SYS, but WITHOUT the SYSDBA role, which can solve the problem as well.

  What happened to cause this (because it must have worked in a first time), there was a database upgrade, which may have been the cause of this problem.

  The eBS environment is a Vision 12.1.3

  It is not a production, or a copy of a production database (to be clear about this)

  PL see the troubleshooting steps in MOS Docs 761830.1 and 730067.1

• Security problem for sqlplus / as sysdba

  Hi all

  11.2.0.1

  My boss is not comfortable with the command "sqlplus / as sysdba.  It seems would prefer that a name of user and password be used or forced? as in 'sqlplus sys/change_on_install as sysdba'

  Is there really an advantage or a drawback of this command in terms of security?

  Your comment is very much appreciated.

  Merry Christmas to all!

  Thank you

  These archives are saved? The command above does not update the RMAN Repository if in case, the archives have been manually delete at the OS level.
  I recommend you save these records and then remove them.

  RMAN>backup archivelog all not backedup 1 times delete input;
  

  If these archives are already saved and were not deleted from the disk, then you can use the below command

  RMAN>delete force noprompt archivelog all completed before 'SYSDATE-n';
  

  where "n" is the number of days of delay on the current date. Be sure to check if these archives have been saved before deleting.

  There is something wrong at the level of the BONE. Check if the user that you are connected to the computer (usually oracle) is part of the ORA_DBA group.

  Well,.
  
  The duplicate database is restored. It remains only the archivelogs.
  If I try to backup all archivelogs again and to run the double once more,
  The data files already restored are underwritten, or RMAN ALL restart again, RESTORE
  ALL DATA FILES?
  The database has 600 GB. So, if I start again, it's a big problem.
  
  What can I do to fix this?
  
  Thank you very much!!!

  This is an Enterprise edition? Have you configured in Eve and dataguard on primary configuration?
  Which command you gave to duplicate?
  RMAN > target database duplicate for standby?

  then start MRP from sleep mode: -.

  The database has 600 GB. So, if I start again, it's a big problem.

  First thing is that you can make two copies because the database is already mounted...
  Why you want to restore again?

  Just start MRP and post if no errors.

• Question about the connection using the "sqlplus / as sysdba.

  Good afternoon

  My question: why are the information stored in the database control file (Faure) target so that its stored in the recovery catalog?

  Hello

  By default, RMAN stored metadata in the file control, all the RMAN is first written to control the file and then catalog of recovery if leaves. For example, when rman creates a new backupset, you can view the information in the v$ backup_set and you can also view the same information of the recovery RC_BAKCUP_SET catalog views.
  So every change repository is stored in two places... Control file and optionally recovery_catalog

  The catalog of recovery of the RMAN Repository versions are stored in database tables and version control repository os file stored as files in with in the control file.
