  Do not back up the database using the same catalog of recovery recovery catalog of accommodation. You could just try it back up without a recovery catalog and to ensure that this database has an automatic backup of controlfile, for example.

  Jame,

  connect to retrieve catalog owner user (RMAN) using SQLPLUS on the catalog database and run the following query.

  SQL> select * from rc_database;
  

  Another thing is, check, if your catalog is accidentally created in the target database or you sure sound in a separate database (possibly on a separate server).

  Thank you

  If you do not have a catalog, you need not to save the database. Rely you only on the target database controlfile. If you use a catalog, you must save the target database, but only once. If you sometimes use a catalog - and sometimes not--the appropriate command is RESYNC (although in many cases RMAN automatically done).

• The backup of Duplication without a target and recovery catalog connection-oriented

  Hello
  We need restore a database - it's now my idea of using replication backup without a target and recovery catalog connection-oriented (I don't want to disturb the source database and we do not use a recovery catalog).
  Backups are stored on tapes (by Omniback from HP).
  
  The syntax should be like this:
  
  duplicated to dup_db database
  until ' to_date (May 2, 2012 02:00, ' ' the HH24: MI: SS DD/MM/YYYY).
  SPFile
  location of backup '?
  nofilenamecheck;
  
  We must use the backup from May 2, 2012 - so it's my understanding that we need to use the clause "until" to_date (May 2, 2012 02:00, ' ' JJ/MM/AAAA HH24:MI:SS) "."
  
  But because the backup is located on the Strip I do not know the value of "backup location. I thought that the name of Omniback backup could be used, but that has not worked.
  
  Now my questions are:
  -is it possible to restore a database as shown with the option-double?
  - and does the job "until" in this case?
  
  Any help will be appreciated.
  
  Rgds
  JH

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you forgot to say which version of the database, it has a double option without a recovery catalog and without connection to the main DB was introduced with 11.2 (if 11.2.0.2).

  And as you can see here:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmdupdb.htm

  you need a backup of disk based to use it.

  "A location of disk backup that contains all backups or copies for reproduction must be available for the destination host".

  No help is possible.
  You publish a file of newspaper only, and can not see the command that failed.
  Also you include, contrary to the recommendation in the post on Forums label, the complete version number of 4-digit.
  This is important because they either has an error in your script that does not find RMAN or you hit a bug.

• What is the recommendation on the backup of a recovery catalog?

  While I understand "benefits of using recovery catalog as the RMAN Repository ' as described in
  
  http://download-UK.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmquick.htm#442214
  
  as well as things to note if you are using the unique control as the rman repository file,
  
  as described in "Monitoring the overwhelming control file Records" in http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrepos.htm#446924
  
  I do not understand why in Backup and Recovery Advanced User Guide
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B14117_01/server.101/B10734/rcmrepos.htm
  
  "Save often Recovery Catalog"
  
  Even if you need to restore the recovery catalog database by using a backup control file, you can use full backups folder in your catalog database restored recovery to restore the database target without using a backup of the target database control file.
  
  = > implies without doubt that we can use a different catalog of recovery we'll call it backupbackup to restore the recovery catalog
  
  "Choose the appropriate method for physical backups.
  
  Follow these steps when developing a strategy for RMAN backup to the recovery catalog database:
  
  * Run in ARCHIVELOG mode recovery catalog database so that you can do point-in-time recovery if necessary.
  * Set the retention policy to REDUNDANCY greater than 1.
  * Save the database on two separate media (for example, disks and tapes).
  * Run the base BACKUP of DATA PLUS ARCHIVELOG at regular intervals, to a Media Manager if available, or simply to drive.
  * Do not use a different catalog recovery as a repository for backups. = > This is in contradiction with the previous declaration
  * Set up automatic backup of control file on IT.
  
  so can I know what is the recommendation on the backup of a recovery catalog? should I use another recovery catalog to keep deposits from rman of the main primary catalog or simply use a feature of automatic backup of control file?
  
  Thank you

  To Catalog backup recovery, it is recommended to enable autobackup controlfile ON and save in nocatalog mode (IE without another recovery catalog).

  The doc States that: "even if you have to restore the database catalog of recovery using a backup control file, you can then use the full record of backups in your database to catalog recovery restored to restore the target database without using a backup of the target database control file.".

  What this means, is-
  The target database backup files are stored in the recovery catalog schema tables, not in the controlfile recovery catalog. When you are using a control file backup and restores them recover from the recovery catalog database, you won't lose target database backup files.

• RMAN cloning using the recovery catalog

  Hi all
  
  I do RMAN cloning using the recovery catalog.
  
  I use oracle 10R2 on solaris, I have a PRIMARY primary database name. I create another database for the catalog name of recovery REC_DB. and the master database with REC_DB record and took the full backup. now I have a full backup of the PRIMARY database in the recovery catalog.
  
  Now I want to clone the MAIN database using this backup (backup of the catalog).
  
  I've done this before, without using the catalogue,
  
  I know that the orders and the cloning procedure, I want to ask how to connect from the auxiliary.
  
  RMAN target sys/password@source_DB_string auxiliary sys / password@clone_DB_string *.
  
  here target means what? primary or catalog database. kindly help me on this.

  RMAN target sys/password@source_DB_string auxiliary sys / password@clone_DB_string *.

  Looks like it is exactly what you were asking.

  You need to connect to the TARGET, CATALOG & AUXILIARY of the rman prompt instance.
  You then run your script/command clone, which you claim you already know how to do.

• Using the Scheduler to run the rman script directly stored in the recovery catalog

  Hi everyone, I usually automate my backups rman, using either cron or dbms_scheduler to call my stored in a sh file NIX rman scripts.  Everything works fine but anyone know how / if it is possible to call a stored in the recovery catalog rman script. Let's say I have create a script in the catalog:

  RMAN > create script showall

  Comment "just one example of demonstration."

  {

  VIEW ALL;

  }

  Can I use dbms_scheduler to call this script directly? If Yes, how and if not then how can we plan for this or a stored script stored in the rman catalog catalog.  Been looking all over the place, but everything seems to indicate leaving Oracle to call .sh or .bat file.

  Kind regards

  Well, let us know the result.

  The link you supplied refers to 12 c Scheduler improvements it seems, it may not be applicable to lower versions of Oracle.

• RMAN recovery catalog number

  Hi all;

  Lem I have a probwhen you configure the recovery catalog.

  DB1 the TNS alias name is : DBONE -> 192.168.1.105 

  db2  the TNS alias name is : DBTWO -> 192.168.1.106

  I tried to cash catalog of recovery in db2 to db1. but I encountered some problems.

  Already, I have configured listener, tns entered into two servers.

  The OS level - in db2 database) (192.168.1.106 server) here's the problem ...

  rman catalog username $ / password@tns_aliasname.

  I want to know, TNS ALIAS name should be what server what show above the command?

  Thanks in advance...

  Run rman in your data base (d1) target server (105).  The tns for the catalog alias is dbtwo.

  Connect to 192.168.1.105 'oracle' (or the owner of oracle)

  value your ORACLE_SID db1

• RMAN recovery catalog

  Hi all
  
  I was wondering in the world of DB oracle 10g or 11g if there is a way to save two catalogs at the same time or multiplex 1 catalog?
  
  I donot want to use rac, dataguard, or classes of water. I have rcat1 and Roman 2. I would like to backup to the two catalogs recoverey incase it goes down.
  What is the best way to do it?

  Hello

  Oracle 11g has a new feature called virtual private catalog which is a subset of the metadata in a basic recovery catalog to which a database user is granted access. A basic recovery catalog owner can grant or revoke access to the catalog of recovery to other users of the database. Each restricted user has a full read/write access to its own virtual catalog private.

  so you can have more then a catalog

• Controlfile using recovery catalog update

  Hello

  I use OEL 5.4 with 11.2.03 like db and tried to play with a scenario where I lose all the controlfile but I controlfile stuff in the trace file. Here are the steps at a high level that I made:

  one) took a backup when you are connected to the recovery catalog.

  (b) using the sql, run 'alter database backup controlfile to trace. "

  (c) shutdown abort;

  (d) controlfile re-created using NORESETLOG option mentioned in the trace file. (trace file has been generated through step (b))

  (e) connected back the PB with the recovery catalog and I see THAT RMAN shows any backup taken in step (a).

  (f) now connected target dB without recovery catalog rman and I do not see the backup. How can I sync the file to control recovery catalog content?

  
  

  I know

  RMAN > catalog resync;

  
  

  but that can be synchronized controlfile content for catalog instead of in front I... e resync controlfile;

  
  

  Just looking for a simple syntax, I hope that there is one rather than make "catalog begins with 'blah blah'... I tried looking in docs, could not find. I have to do something wrong...

  
  

  -Learner
  

  
  

  
  

  This information loss is a serious risk when you run CREATE CONTROLFILE.  It is better to RESTORE CONTROLFILE.

  You know already the command CATALOGUE START WITH (but that only works with backup to disk).

  By Note # 1082901.1 configuration information are copied from the catalog to the controlfile.  But there is no information on the copy of information about backups (backuppieces) and the archivelogs.
