Help Educate Me on an RMAN Recovery Question

Perhaps I am not understanding how recovery should work, so, let me lay out my situation:
First things first:
Oracle 11.2.0.2.5 on AIX 6.1
Source database: POR02P on a 4 node cluster
Auxiliary database: POR02x (single instance)
I want to duplicate my source database to my auxiliary database as of 02-APR-2013 at 3:00PM
Here are how my backups run:
LEVEL0 On Sunday at 8:00 AM
LEVEL1 Differential all other days at 8:00 AM
Intermediate Archivelogs backups run at the following times daily: 00:45, 11:45, 19:45
March 31 is my LEVEL0.
So, the way I understand things, to do this duplicate:
I need my LEVEL0 from Sunday
I need my LEVEL1 from Monday
I need my LEVEL1 from Tuesday
I need all my archivelogs from just before the LEVEL1 on Tuesday started all the way to after 3:00PM on Tuesday:
Restore archive backups from:
4/2 11:45
4/2 19:45
All my backups include a controlfile.
According to my above analysis, I made sure the required files were on disk.
After making sure my files were on disk, I went to my source database and ran the following to make sure Oracle had all the files it needs:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013 15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
3> restore database preview summary;
4> }
This above command succeeds and I can verify all the files it mentions are on disk.
Here is the problem, the restore of the LEVEL0 and LEVEL1's succeed.  When it starts recovery, it fails asking for an archive log that both:
*1. Was not listed as part of the PREVIEW command*
*2. Is from a time between my LEVEL0 and first LEVEL1.*
I was under the impression that RMAN does not need archivelogs from BETWEEN incremental backups.
Am I wrong about this?
Doesn't an incremental LEVEL1 differential go back to the last incremental and get all the needed blocks thereby making the "in between" archivelogs obsolete?
If I am wrong about this, that solves part of my confusion...
The other part of my confusion is why does the PREVIEW command not specify the archivelogs it asks for during recovery?
If you can answer my question now, you can skip the rest.
Else, here are all the dirty details.
Here is mt PREVIEW command as run on the source database. The output supports how I think this should work:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013 15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
3> restore database preview;
4> }
executing command: SET until clause
Starting restore at 23-APR-2013 13:47:30

Okay, so at this point, I think I have everything I need.
Here is my RMAN command:

then fails at an archivelog. If someone wants the whole

The archivelog is not reported as part of the preview
command. Also, shouldn't it's changes be included in
the next day's LEVEL1?
Thanks for anyone's time. Would be happy to provide
more info.

Levi,
Thank you very much for your insight.
However, I may have found something. I have not fully tested and found a solution so I have not posted an update yet...I want to make sure I have a complete answer. However, I will provide some details.
I decided to go ahead and restore ALL my archivelogs just to see if I could get the recovery to work.
It still did not work!
So, I happened to look at my alert log (can't believe I did not check it before) and I saw this:
Wed Apr 24 13:34:20 2013

Then, I looked on Metalink and found this:
Oracle Support Document 1098638.1 (Rman Duplicate fail ORA-19755, Tries Open The Block Change Tracking File of Source DB) can be found at: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1098638.1
[https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1098638.1]
Now, this document is very interesting within the context of the problem I am having.  However, it says a few things:
1. This is fixed in the oracle patchset 11.2.0.2 as part of Bug 7500916.
---I am on patchset 11.2.0.2!
2. The workaround is to disable change tracking before duplicate.
---this is not really an option for me...we like having this turned on...it considerably speeds up our backups
3. Workaround is to set DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT in the SET-clause of duplicate, instead of using DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT setting in an init.ora or spfile.
---tried this...did not work
4. Workaround is to create a dummy file in the location where the error ORA-19755 is signalled.
---have not tried this yet
Another interesting thing to note:
My database is left in mounted state when it fails.  After seeing this document, just for fun I:
SQL> alter database disable block change tracking;
Database altered.
And Then:
RMAN> run {
2> set until time = "to_date('02-APR-2013:15:00:00','DD-MON-YYYY:HH24:MI:SS')";
3> recover database;

So, it finishes the recovery. However, I did not yet try to open resetlogs because this was originally a duplicate and doing an open resetlogs would not complete all the post-duplicate operations.
Also, looking at the logs applied when running the above recover, now it only uses logs that were specified in the original PREVIEW command.
I am going to play around some more and I promise I will post back with whatever results I happen across.

  • Rman Recovery using backup created using dbconsole

    Thanks for taking my questions. First, I see there is another person asking about rman recovery but I am hoping mine is not identical.
    BACKGROUND
    Archiving and flashback is on.
    Database is 11g.
    Full on-line database backup is done using dbconsole (oem) and includes control, spfile and archive logs.
    RECOVERY
    I am testing my recovery to a new serve.
    I installed oracle
    Restored a backupset from one backup to the new servers flashbackup area.
    Recovered the spfile ok
    Recovered the control file ok
    Found last seq number ok
    Restore database ok
    RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SEQUENCE - NOT OK
    Error=DATAFILE 1 MUST BE RESTORED FROM BACKUP OLDER THAN SCN
    QUESTIONS
    Where did I go wrong?
    Could it be my rman backup didn't backup all necessary archive logs?
    How do I fix this and can I fix it using dbconsole?
    Also, is it still possible to fix the test server without loading any new files?
    Thanks!
    Kathie

    Hello,
    To answer your questions, it looks like your backup is out of sync with SCN for datafiles with your Oracle 11g database.
    What you need to do is first check the low SCN and current SCN for your database to that in your RMAN backup files.
    You can check backups in RMAN command line with
    RMAN> list backup;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

    You need to make sure that you are trying to restore database with RMAN with a backup for the SCN numbers that are older than the current database SCN in database or Oracle will complain.
    Enterprise Manager dbconsole will work but nothing beats the power of a command line.

  • Oracle RMAN recovery catalog database in a Primary and Standby mode

    Hello All,
    The customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups. There are are 200+ databases running on OEL, RHEL and Windows. So we planned to host the recovery catalog database on Oracle Active DataGuard 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition on RedHat EL 5.8 version on two physical servers. The Primary Instance will be in one server in the Primary DC and the Standby Instance will be on another server in another DC. Also all the database datafiles are hosted in ASM Diskgroups on SAN (DATA, FRA, REDO, ARCH diskgroups).
    Are there any specific RPM/patch/OS user custom/specific settings or configurations needed..?
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards,
    Abhijit

    "The customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups"
    Hi,
    i think you can achieve HA for the catalog DB. (Rac and Asm should work fine)
    There's no way (afaik) to use TAF with the rman backup. If you have a failure during a backup it simply fails.
    There is no TAF in this situation.
    Hope this helps.

  • Regarding forgotten password n recovery question

    Sir...I forgot my blackberry 9380's blackberry I'd password n recovery question....even icant download any applications frm the store...I also tweetedon your twitter account but there wasno response...please provide the appropriate assistance through phone or online....
    Thank you

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Start first with these please:
    KB28685 How to reset the BlackBerry ID password using the password recovery question
    KB32111 "The link is no longer valid." is encountered when attempting to reset a BlackBerry ID password
    KB26361 How to change or reset the BlackBerry ID password
    KB28111 Unable to reset BlackBerry ID password when using a BlackBerry hosted email address
    KB28232 BlackBerry ID reset email is not being delivered to the associated mailbox
    If you have forgotten your BB ID credentials AND have non-BB access (e.g., Outlook, webmail, etc.) to the email account that is currently configured to your BB ID account, then those instructions should allow you to recover access to your BB ID account.
    However, if you do not have access to that email account, then your challenge is much greater, and you have a choice to make depending on your circumstances:
    If you have no AppWorld records that you require to retain (e.g., purchase records for apps), then simply abandon the BB ID and create a new one. To do so, however, does require a device WIPE:
    KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
    But, if you do have AppWorld records that you must keep, then you require human intervention. To receive that, you must ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate your case up to BlackBerry. Further, you must convince BlackBerry to provide you with a solution -- which likely will either be resetting your current BB ID so that you can again access it or having you create a new BBID and they will manually move your purchase records over. Note that I have no idea if they will be willing to do this, but there is no other way that I know of to retain your prior AppWorld purchase records.
    Good luck!

  • Blackberry ID recovery question

    Hi.
    I recently decided to come back to blackberry. I tried to reopen my old blackberry account I D but cant get past the security question cause it seems like my answer is wrong in the Recovery question. All I can think is that there might be a spelling error. I do need to get this ID working again and will not open another email adress to just get access again to Blackberry World. Where is a feature where a recovery link cant just be emailed to my email adress to reset my password? This is how everyone else does it.
    I used  of my gmail adress in the mean time to get another ID but this isnt what I want and secondly I want to use my old ID cause I have another Blackberry 9790 that will require that I get my ID working again. I want to let my daughter use the phone and I will use my old blackberry ID. I cant use the same Blackberry ID on two phones. I want to put BBM on the 9790 as well but with only one working ID at the moment I cant get BBM onto the second phone.
    If I cant get the ID to work again I will just install whatsapp cause it will only need a cellphone number and avoid this whole complicated password recovery process.
    The issue here is I dont want more email adresses created just to get back onto BB world. Complications like this drives clients with less patience away,,,,,,
    Please assist with a solution.

    can both of you try logging in to your BBID at www.bbid.com and enter the security question answer there?

  • A RMAN RECOVERY SCENARIO

    hellow,
    I am working on a rman recovery scenario as follows:
    ---I have a full backup on sunday
    ---My database in archivelog mode
    ---now I lost one of table on Monday 7:20PM
    ---then I lost another table on same day at 7:40PM
    ---I came to know about this(both table drop incident) at 7:45PM same day
    ---Now I have to recover both the tables
    ---I have catalog database configured
    please tell me step by step, how the recovery should be done?
    And I also want to know where I can find such scenarios on which I can work any book or web resource?

    This is an abstract of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/flashptr006.htm#sthref651
    DBPITR within the current incarnation is performed using the current control file. When performing DBPITR, you can avoid errors by using the SET UNTIL command to set the target time at the beginning of the process, rather than specifying the UNTIL clause on the RESTORE and RECOVER commands individually. This ensures that the datafiles restored from backup will have timestamps early enough to be used in the subsequent RECOVER operation.
    The steps required for DBPITR are as follows:
    Connect RMAN to the target database and, if applicable, the recovery catalog database. Bring the database to a MOUNT state:
    SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    STARTUP MOUNT;
    Perform the following operations within a RUN block:
    Use SET UNTIL to specify the target time, restore point, SCN, or log sequence number for DBPITR. 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 disk and tape channels as needed.
    Restore and recover the database.
    The following example performs DBPITR on the target database until SCN 1000:
    RUN
    SET UNTIL SCN 1000;
    # Alternatives:
    # SET UNTIL TIME 'Nov 15 2004 09:00:00';
    # SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 9923;
    RESTORE DATABASE;
    RECOVER DATABASE;
    Note:
    You can also use time expressions, restore points, or log sequence numbers to specify the SET UNTIL time:
    SET UNTIL TIME 'Nov 15 2004 09:00:00';
    SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 9923;
    SET UNTIL RESTORE POINT before_update;
    If the operation completes without errors, then your DBPITR has succeeded. You can open the database read-only and perform queries as needed to ensure that the effects of the logical corruption have been reversed. If not, you may have chosen the wrong target SCN. In such a case, investigate the unwanted change further and determine a new target SCN, then repeat the DBPITR process.
    7.6.4.1 Using a Time Expression for Database Point-in-Time Recovery
    You can use a time expression instead of the SCN in the SET UNTIL statement, as shown in the preceding example. However, note that if you use SET UNTIL TIME to specify the target time for point-in-time recovery, some times that you can specify may not be in the current incarnation. The database may have been in an ancestor incarnation, or even in a sibling incarnation, at the target time. If your target time is not in the current incarnation, then see "Point-in-Time Recovery to an Ancestor Incarnation" for more information on DBPITR to ancestor incarnations, and Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide for more information on DBPITR to incarnations that are not ancestors of the current incarnation.
    7.6.5 Options After Database Point-in-Time Recovery
    After a successful DBPITR, your choices are:
    Export one or more objects from your database using an Oracle export utility such as Data Pump Export. You can then recover the database to the current point in time and re-import the exported objects, as a way to return these objects to their state prior to the unwanted change without abandoning all other changes.
    Open your database for read-write, abandoning all changes after the target SCN. In such a case, you must open the database with the RESETLOGS option, as shown here:
    RMAN> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
    The current online redo logs are archived, the log sequence number is reset to 1, and the online redo logs are given a new time stamp and SCN. Identifying redo log files with a new log sequence number and incarnation eliminates the possibility of corrupting datafiles by the application of obsolete archived redo logs.
    The OPEN RESETLOGS operation will fail if a datafile is off-line, unless the datafile went offline normally or is read-only. You can bring files in read-only or offline normal tablespaces online after the RESETLOGS because they do not need any redo.
