Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file?

Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file? How far can I recover this database?
I have an Oracle 10g(10.2.3) database on RHEL4.3 system.
I have lost all the current control files and all the online redo logs, archived redo logs and all other files are OK.
Now I have to recovery this database using a backup control file.
Can I recover the database without any data lost？

If
a) it was a Shutdown Abort or an Instance Crash (i.e. backgrounds died on detecting loss of redo logs),
b) redo logs are lost
c) data files are intact
You'd have to
a) Restore datafiles
b) Do an Incomplete Recovery to the last available ArchiveLog

Can't restore a previous session (or two ago) using a backup.session file?

I'm trying to recover a session, but it is not my last previous session (it's from a few sessions ago now I suppose). I started Firefox today and it didn't load the session from the previous night and instead loaded a couple of update pages that I closed. I then reopened Firefox realizing that it didn't reopen to my session and now restoring the previous session doesn't help because it opened to the updates (and I've now opened and closed it a few times trying to solve the issue). I've found a file in the session folder called "backup.session" that was modified last night and says it is a SESSION File, but can't seem to open it (web search for a program does no good and I don't see Firefox in the Browse for a Program section.
Is there anyway to open a session from a few sessions ago and is it through this backup.session file?

Are you using any session managing extensions like Tab Mix Plus or Session Manager?
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js file.

Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary”???

Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.
http://itpixie.com/2011/05/fix-duplicate-old-items-open-with-list/#.ULZqa6XAoqY
The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
but then it worked like a charm!
Cheers
Léonie
And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

The database status is currently unavailable.

Hi,
I have a probem in my production database -
Server - Windows 2003
DB - Oracle 10g
When i try to open Enterprise Manager I get the below error message. This was working fine since last month. But I haven't made any changes to this DB. But I noticed that disk space was very less so I deleted files from recycle bin, temp internet files, cookies and some unwanted documents i copied on the server. No disc space is OK. I have 10 GB free space. Also i am getting DB warning notification because table space is 92 % full so I want to increase it. But I dont know why I am getting this because I had already set to grow table space automatically.
Is there any other way to increase table space other than that in Enter prise manager ?
Message:*
*"The database status is currently unavailable. It is possible that the database is in mount or nomount state...."*
I tried to troubleshoot as per some forums but it doesnt work. If i use command prompt or sql plus to connect to DB it works but only enterprise manager has this issue. Also my Documentum Application connected to this DB works fine.
listner is fine. Also I added server login account in 'log on as batch john' in local policies.
I do not have a back up to restore also.
Regards,
Ranjith John

Regarding the tablespace you may consider extend it yourself and not wait for the autoextend to kick in. This way you avoid future problems if for some strange reason the datafile cannot be extended. Not ignoring this error and being reminded every time the tablespace reaches some limit gives you a feeling of how fast your data grows, which is useful (if the alert comes too often you have to increase with bigger chunks). Autoextend is a feature invented for the lazy dbas out there (imho), a responsible one should not rely on it for production systems with any serious load.
As for the connection problem from EM, I suspect the agent has a connection problem. Have you verified the username and password it is using? Can you connect to the db with the same combination?Yes, I can connect to DB with the same user name and password using command prompt or sql plus. Also my Documentum Application is connecting fine to this oracle DB.
This is the full message.

Previously I used to get login page but now instead of login page I get this warning. There is also 'Startup' and 'Perform Recovery' button. Even if I use 'startup' button it does not resolve issue. It gives me the bellow message -

Are you sure you want to perform this operation?

HT1766 can i recover my data from the help of apple id

dear sir
I was using my Iphone 4 from last year.sir i have lost my data from my i tunes and fone.
sir please tell me that can i recover my data with the help of my apple id or not. that was my important data .Spesioley my contacts
i will wait ur earlier response
thanx

I am not all that tech savy but I am trying ot understand what you are saying. I have a similar problem. After IOS5 update my address book is gone. What do you mean synch with outlook, windows yahoo, google? I have created all of my contatcs directly on the iphone and do not use those other addressbooks you are referring to. Yes I haev email but I do not email all the contatcs I had in my phone book on my phone nor do I need them there. When i save a new contacts it automatically gets assigned a photo from the old address book in alphabetical order. Those pics are not saved in my camera roll. Leads me to believe the address book is somewhere. This should not be this difficult.... takes a long time to compile these address books.

Aperture (3.4.1) no longer opens and the following message appears: There was an error opening the database for the library "/ Users / Andrea / Pictures / Aperture 3 Library.aplibrary." How can I solve this problem? Thanks

I was using Aperture (3.4.1), when he appeared a notice that asked me to stop the Mac with the power button. When I restart Aperture no longer opens and the following message appears: There was an error opening the database for the library "/ Users / Andrea / Pictures / Aperture 3 Library.aplibrary."
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks

After a system crash your Aperture Library may be corrupted, because Aperture may not have been able to finish the ongoing database transactions.
Have you tried the Aperture Library First Aid Tools?

Try "Repair Database", and if this does not help: "Rebuild Database"

Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.

There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/stacia134/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". Why am I getting this message and how do I correct it so that I can open Aperture???? any suggestions would be most appreciated

Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive.

Database Home page display : The database target is currently unavailable

Hello,
I Installed OEM Gird 11g on an Windows 2008 R2
version Installed :
- Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Console 11.1.0.1.0
- WebLogic Platform 10.3.2.0
- Oracle WebTier and Utilities CD 11.1.1.2.0
To make it running I have to disable IPV6 !
One the database server (Windows 2003 64 bit - Oracle 10.2.0.1.0) I have upgraded the agent to the version Oracle Management Agent 11.1.0.1.0.
I am able to configure a database (dbsnmp/password) no connection issue
But after that the home display the message (The database target is currently unavailable), like the agent is not able to connect to the database.
The database is accessible through the link "Last Known State".
I have try stop and restart the agent in the database.
I also test to make a clearstate (emctl clearstate agent), without success.
I go deeper in the log of the agent (emagent.trc) :
LOGIN = dbsnmp/<PW>@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=ora-secondary1.lgbow.com)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=LGBPHTE2)))

I have tested the LGBPHTE2 tnsname with SQLPLUS it is working.
It is like OEM Grid 11g is not able to give the right password to the agent.
Anyone knows about this issue.
Thanks in advance

Can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD

can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD, these are very important emails, after reformatting my hard drive to fix some trouble i was having w/ maverics, these copies were deleted, and my icloud deletes messages more than a month old. help??

Hi,
If you use the iCloud.com login or the Mail App and "fetched" the Mail and deleted that way there is not way to get it back.
You could have archived it or placed it in Folders (created in Mail or on the web Login) and that will have stored them on the IMAP server and they would have been retrievable.

In another thread you said you had your OCP. What test are these questions for?
Along the same line as your other asking what is next, have you tried recreating this problem? It is one thing to be able to give an answer, being able to actually perform the work is what your future employer is looking for.

"There was an error opening the database for the library "~/Pictures/Apert"

Hey everyone,
There's already another discussion thread about this at the link below, but the problem was never actually resolved. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2343014&tstart=0&messageID=116 67261#11667261
So I stumbled across this problem where Aperture 3 will display the following error when opening the image library.
There was an error opening the database for the library “~[path]/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
One user suggested navigating to the actual library, and ⌘⌥-clicking the library to open it with the Aperture Library First Aid dialog. This however, did not work for me. I still received the error messages upon ⌘⌥-clicking the library.
Here's a little hack I discovered for those of you still struggling. It doesn't fix the problem (leaves quite a large dent remaining actually), but hopefully someone can cultivate what little I discovered.
⌥-click Aperture (not the library)
You should get to the library selection dialog box. Create a new library (bottom right corner) and remember the location of the new library. Put a few random pictures in the new one.
Close Aperture
⌃-click both the old and new libraries and "Show Package Contents."
Open the folder "Database" in both libraries.
Cross check the folders to see if the old library is missing files that are in the new library. If your old library is missing some files (mine was), drag the missing files from the new library to the old one.
Close both folders.
⌘⌥-click the old library.
NOW, I got the Aperture Library First Aid dialog.
Rebuild the library (3rd option)
Wait a while.
Aperture should open up with a folder named "Recovered Folder." Within this folder will be a SINGLE project named "Recovered Project" with ALL the images from your old library. There may be a few albums there too, but mine were all empty so it didn't matter in my case. To my knowledge, I lost all the adjustments I performed too.
This is as far as I got. I have much of my library backed up, so I only needed to copy the most recent photos into the backup. I am NOT reorganizing and re-editing pictures in this one!
As Aperture is a photo-organizing and photo-editing software, I understand that this by no means fixes the problem, since you lose all organization and editing. But it enables one to at least view the images lost. Hopefully a more knowledgable hacker else can figure out how to fix this completely. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time to continue messing with this.
Good luck to anyone else having issues! I understand the frustration you must be facing, its freaky having years worth of images simply disappear! After this incident, I'm definitely going to configure Time Machine to perform more frequent backups, since my latest backup was already a couple weeks old.

Hey All,
To my horror I have a similar problem and your solution didn't seem to help. To be specific, I get the error:
"There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture Library_2.aplibrary" Everytime I try to run Aperture. This happened because my Apple computer shut off completely (due to bad battery) while importing photos from a memory card.
I've tried "option + command" while clicking the aperture application and that gave me the same error message without any other option except to quit the program. I tried "option + command" and clicked the library package but that didn't work either. I tried creating a new aperture library, opening it which I did successfully, and then switching to my main one but that didn't work.
Does anyone know away to get it to work again and have the edits still there?
I'm a professional photographer and have thousands of photos or so in the library so this is distressing. The master files for the photos are located on an external hard drive, but I'm not sure how to access them in aperture. Are all the edits on the photographs are in the external hard drive or the aperture library. Is there any other way to resolve this issue without losing the edits?
Does apple have a support number I can call? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

There was an error opening the database for the library

I can't open my aperture library:"There was an error opening the database for the library": what I can do? I've tried to reinstall aperture, I've also tried to use TM but nothing, I can't open aperture...Help me please!!!!

For me none of the posted "solutions" worked.
I tried the Option+Command+click on either the Aperture program app or the Aperture library in Finder...did not work.
I tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences... did not work. This was probably the "standard" Apple tech solution.
The solution for me was to Option+click the Aperture program to launch it and Create a NEW empty library.
Then simply IMPORT the corrupted library, in order to recover my photos.
I saw a status message saying "Upgrading Library: scanning library" and lots of CPU activity for a few hours on a 36 GB library.
Several error messages came up about re-publishing previously published galleries but I ignored them (since they were already published)
Not sure what gets lost but at least I got all my photos back.
