Duplicate of Database - Restore of Specific Tablespaces using RMAN

Hi, is it possible to perform a duplicate of a large database to a point in time (from tape) but only restore specific tablespaces, this database uses partitioned tables for a week of data, each set of partitions have their own tablespace.
Thanks.

Use can use the “SKIP TABLESPACE” option of RMAN DUPLICATE to bring only the tablespaces you want.

Restore the dropped tablespace using RMAN?

Hello,
I have done a oracle tablespace re-org for PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI. Now I want to restore only the OLD PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI tablespace using TAPE backup via RMAN.
The probelm is I have dropped the old tablespace during re-org which is a part of the re-org. Is it possible to restore the dropped tablespace using RMAN?
My Oracle version is 9.2.05
if anyone has done this before, please share your valuable ideas.
I wrote the below script for the restore.
run {
allocate channel ch1 type sbt_tape;
startup nomount
restore controlfile; -
>(I guess,if I restore old control file, I might get old structure which help the restore of TB)
alter database mount ;
restore tablespace PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI;
recover tablespace PSAPPOOLD,PSAPPOOLI;;
release channel ch1;
Thanks,
Arjun

Hello Arjun,
why would you want to do this?
What is is you want to achieve by this action?
BTW: it's not possible to do that.
Check [Performing RMAN Tablespace Point-in-Time Recovery|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmtspit.htm].
You want a "Tablespace point in time recovery" (TSPITR) for a dropped tablespace and that is just not possible with RMAN.
So, the easiest way for you to get this tablespace back would be to restore and recover the database to a different host.
Ah, while we're at it: using RMAN outside the BRTOOLS is not supported by SAP - so you better be a wiz with it because there won't be much help in case anything does not work.

Lars

Duplicate Oracle Database 8.1.7.0 using RMAN

An old database needs to be duplicated... :(
We have an old database named TAPES running on Windows 2003 (32bit) and Oracle 8.1.7.0
The team wants to duplicate / clone this database to another location. We have setup another server, with Windows 2003 and installed Oracle Software 8.1.7.0 with
starter database. The two machines A and B has no network connection (they are on different sites). Also the structure of the machines are different (the location of the database files are different)
How can I duplicate this using RMAN. We cannot afford any downtime on TAPES prod. The idea is:
-backup TAPES prod using RMAN (hot backup)
-copy and tranport the backup files to the remote machine B
-restore (and recover) the RMAN backup to Machine B
-the duplicate database has the same name
In oracle 9i, 10g and 11g, this is easy...and i must admit...i dont know how to do it in Oracle 8.1.7.0...
I need help... :(
thanks a lot!

thanks...i saw one article with this approach..but the document did not present the detailed process...do you have one? i am still searching for a good procedure to follow...since it is an old database and focusing/studying old versions like this is a pain in the a**... :(

Doubt about database point in time recovery using rman

Hi Everyone,
I have been practising various rman restore and recovery scenarios . I have a doubt regarding database point in time recovery using rman. Imagine i have a full database backup including controlfile scheduled to run at 10 PM everyday. today is 20th dec 2013. imagine i want to restore the database to a prior point in time ( say 18th dec till 8 AM). so i would restore all the datafiles from 17th night's backup and apply archives till 8 AM of 18th dec . in this scenario should i restore the controlfile too from 17th dec bkp ( i am assuming yes we should ) or can we use the current controlfile ( assuming it is intact). i found the below from oracle docs.
Performing Point-in-Time Recovery with a Current Control File
The database must be closed to perform database point-in-time recovery. If you are recovering to a time, then you should set the time format environment variables before invoking RMAN. The following are sample Globalization Support settings:
NLS_LANG = american_america.us7ascii
NLS_DATE_FORMAT="Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS"
To recover the database until a specified time, SCN, or log sequence number:
After connecting to the target database and, optionally, the recovery catalog database, ensure that the database is mounted. If the database is open, shut it down and then mount it:
2. SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
3. STARTUP MOUNT;
4.
Determine the time, SCN, or log sequence that should end recovery. For example, if you discover that a user accidentally dropped a tablespace at 9:02 a.m., then you can recover to 9 a.m.--just before the drop occurred. You will lose all changes to the database made after that time.
You can also examine the alert.log to find the SCN of an event and recover to a prior SCN. Alternatively, you can determine the log sequence number that contains the recovery termination SCN, and then recover through that log. For example, query V$LOG_HISTORY to view the logs that you have archived.
RECID      STAMP      THREAD#    SEQUENCE# FIRST_CHAN FIRST_TIM NEXT_CHANG
         1 344890611          1          1      20037 24-SEP-02      20043
         2 344890615          1          2      20043 24-SEP-02      20045
         3 344890618          1          3      20045 24-SEP-02      20046
Perform the following operations within a RUN command:
Set the end recovery time, SCN, or log sequence. If specifying a time, then use the date format specified in the NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variables.
If automatic channels are not configured, then manually allocate one or more channels.
Restore and recover the database.
The following example performs an incomplete recovery until November 15 at 9 a.m.
RUN
SET UNTIL TIME 'Nov 15 2002 09:00:00';
# SET UNTIL SCN 1000;       # alternatively, specify SCN
# SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 9923; # alternatively, specify log sequence number
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
If recovery was successful, then open the database and reset the online logs:
5. ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
I did not quiet understand why the above scenario is using current controlfile as the checkpoint scn in the current controlfile and the checkpoint scn in the datafile headers do not match after the restore and recovery. Thanks in Advance for your help.
Thanks
satya

Thanks for the reply ... but what about the checkpoint scn in the controlfile . my understanding is that unless the checkpoint scn in the controlfile and datafiles do not match the database will not open. so assuming the checkpoint scn in my current controlfile is 1500 and i want to recover my database till scn 1200. so the scn in the datafiles (which is 1200) is not not matching with the scn in the controlfile(1500). so will the database open in such cases.
Thanks
Satya

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

Restoring a Hot backup using RMAN on a different server.

Hi
we are using oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on solaris 10 and using a separate catalog for RMAN backups.
we have taken a production db Hot backup as follows
level 0 backup on 28 th dec.
level 1 on 29,
level 1 on 30 and
level 1 on 31 st.
now today in the month of feb .
we would like to create a dev. DB on a diffent server which has diffent directory structure, i have to create a db using the above backups to setup the db like on 31 st Jan.
could you please provide the steps and advice how do i proceed.
Thansk fot the help.

Make level 0 and level 1 backups + control files backups + archived redo logs backup available on new host and use RMAN DUPLICATE.

Restore a tablespace using RMAN

Hi all,
Please help me to solve the below problem,
This is a test case.
I have taken one L0 backup and one L1 backup.
Then I have created a table "TEST_TABLE" along with some values in "USERS" tablespace.
Again I took another L1 backup.
Now accidentally (for testing) I have dropped the table "TEST_TABLE".
Can I get the table back.
I have tried the following::
1. Took the tablespace USERS offline
2. Removed the datafiles manually.
3. Restored the tablespace
4. Recovered the tablespace
5. Made the tablespace USERS online.
Now when I queried for the table "TEST_TABLE", I couldn't get the table back.
Is there any way to get back my table.
Regards,
Bikram

Hi zekeriya,
Thanks. I am using 10g.
Ofcourse we can use flashback but If possible I just want to recover the "USERS" tablespace users upto a specific time from the incremental backup that I have before the drop command.
I couldn't find the specific command to do so.
Please help.
Thanks,
Bikram

Clone the Database from Unix to Windows using RMAN in Oracle 9i ?

Hi.,
we are having Productino Database in ORACLE 9i at unix . currently Our Application user need the Test Environment in Windows server.We have active RMAN Backup in Production .
If its possible can i restore the unix RMAN backup to Windows.Please Clarify my doubt ?
Thanks & Regrads

In 10g you have cross platform transportable tablespace .... but in 9i only option would be exp/imp

Transport Tablespace using RMAN from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.3 ??

Hello all,
Is it possible to do RMAN Transport Tablespace from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.3 ??
TIA,
J J

Are the two database on same platform?
Yes, it's possible to move from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.3
You should check Oracle document,
You cannot export transportable tablespaces and then import them into a database at a lower release level. The target database must be at the same or higher release level as the source database.

Database Restore using RMAN

Can I restore a oracle database with a different name using RMAN.
Say, I backup a database named orcl. Now I wanted to restore this database with a different name. Is this possible? If yes, can some one guide me through the appropriate document?
Thank you,
Santhosh

< Can I restore this Backup on to a database with a different name ...
You even have to do this, if duplicated database belongs to the same ORACLE_HOME, otherwise it could be the same name (although the databases still have different DBIDs).

Create a new Database in an other server using a copie of RMAN backup

Hi all,
I want to create an other instance for our production database. We have disk and tape in rman backup. My question is can i create a new database using our disk backup in an other server?
If some procedure or steps is there, email it to my adresse [email protected]
Hamid.
Thanks

By means of the use of Recovery Manager it is possible to duplicate a database out from a previously taken rman backup. The method will be outlined in the next few lines.
Let's assume a source database named SRCDB and the target database, named GEMINI. A unix like environment is assumed, but it can be implemented on windows as well, just beware of the particular Oracle implementation on a windows platform (orapwd file name, service creation, path format)
1. Create a password file for the Cloned (GEMINI) instance:
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/dbs/orapwGEMINI password=password entries=10
2. Configure tnsnames.ora and listner.ora
Properly identify the database at the tnsnames.ora and have the instance manually registered against the listener.ora files, both files located at the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
2.a Manually register the database against the listener (listener.ora)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0)
(SID_NAME = GEMINI)
2.b Added the target GEMINI to the tnsnames.ora
GEMINI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(ORACLE_SID = GEMINI)
2.c Reload the listener
lsnrctl reload
3. Create a new init.ora for the cloned database.
Next create an init.ora file for the cloned database. In case the same paths cannot be used on the target host, either because it is the same source host or because those paths are not reproducible on the target, then DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT may be required to be defined
DB_NAME=GEMINI
CONTROL_FILES=(/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control01.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control02.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control03.ctl)
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure.
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u02/oradata/SRCDB/,/u02/oradata/GEMINI/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/oradata/SRCDB/,/u01/oradata/GEMINI/)
# block_size and compatible parameters must match those of the source database
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.0.0
4. Connect to the cloned instance
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
5. Create an SPFILE based on the init.ora
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/GEMINI/pfile/init.ora';
6. Start the database in NOMOUNT mode:
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
7. Connect to the TARGET, CATALOG and AUXILIARY databases.
By means of the rman three connections are open, one for the Source Database (SOURCEDB), another for the Catalog database (RCAT), and one more for the cloned database (GEMINI)
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
rman TARGET sys/password@SRCDB CATALOG rman/rman@RCAT AUXILIARY /
8. Complete or Incomplete clone (recover)
From the rman the database using one of the following commands:
8.a Clone the database by means of a complete recover.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI;
8.b Clone the database up to a defined point in time in the past by means of an incomplete recover
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-2';
9. Process finished.
Once the process is finished, the newly created GEMINI database is ready to be used as an independent new cloned database.

To restore backup on different host using RMAN

Hi All,
Friend I need your help once again. I want to restore my database from the past backup to new HOST by keeping the original database intact using RMAN. Let me explain the scenario:-
Databas Version - 8.1.7
OS - Solaris 5.8
We are using RMAN with Tivoli as third party media management. I just need to restore the database from this tape library using RMAN with recovery catalog on new server. The only doubt I have is how I will make the backups of the production database whose backup has to be restored available on the new host where I have to create new database.
I will be using different file structure for the newly restored database. Do I have to create TDPO files seperately on the server on which I have to restore the database.
Please reply asap.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

You need to create a tdpo.opt file of source on the destination database. Then, allocate channel using this TDPO_OPTFILE and recover database.

Clone database using RMAN

We are using Oracle 10g R2 on Linux.
We have a development database which is in non-archival mode. Can we clone this database without shutting it down using RMAN.

I know you, that was impossible that you said this or asked such a question, but my heart missed a beat. I've had to open the discussion or "preview" your response to be sure about what you said.
We all have to take care about what we are quoting here.
