How to recover the database when some of the archive log file get deleted.

I am facing a problem with Oracle database, which is related to archivelogs.
Our development database is running in archivelog mode, but we don't have backups scheduled and have no recovery catalog.
When the database was in running condition, disk got full, so some archivelogs were deleted manually.
After this they restarted the DB, and now DB is not coming up. Errors are as follows:

Hi,
Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss.

"recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

Hello,
Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
First we restored, an online backup.
We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
Then we performed the recovery :
According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
The probleme is it prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

When restaring the database we could see that, a recovery of online redo log has been performed automatically, is it the normal behaviour of a recovery using "recover database until cancel" command ?

Hi,
Let me answer your query.
=======================
Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
      then do not go for until cancel recovery.
2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
     process is    on.
3. During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying V$RECOVERY_LOG you    can find out about the redologs required.
4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
Hope this information helps.

Madhukar

TaohikoHi Taohiko
Have you made backup of all archived redo log files? If so, why this one was disappeared?
Have you applied all archived redo log files before that required archived redo log file?
Please try to recover the database using the following command:

Real - Time Apply some times uses Archived log file

Hi All,
I have a doubt on real time apply in Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 version where arch process has been configured on primary database and standby has been configured for maximum performance mode with real time apply.
But in standby alert log file i use to find below message rarely
Media Recovery Log /oraclearch/oraarch/ctdr/5548.dbf
Media Recovery Log /oraclearch/oraarch/ctdr/5549.dbfSo my doubt is why archived files are applied as standby has been configured for real time apply where it should apply only from standby online redo log files.
Also i dont find any information on standby database in the view v$standby_log that these standby online log files have been archived in archived column, so how to find how much of data has been written by rfs process on SRL's...
-Yasser

hi,
As the remote file server (RFS) process writes the redo data to standby redo log files on the standby database, log apply services can recover redo from standby redo log files as they are being filled.
please check http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_apply.htm
thanks,

During an Inplace ASCII CPC when does e.g. "JCDS&" file get deleted?

As I understand the process, during an InPlace CPC the original files are renamed to "XXXX&" and the new ASCII XXXX file is created, and the original copied to it.
We are getting very short of disk space, and it would appear both JCDS and "JCDS&" have the full amount of records in them.
At what stage in the process will the original be deleted?
Regards
Steve

Thanks Volker I can see the files being cleared now. I know my disk usage is too high but this just my QA system, newly refreshed from live and we should be getting a new iseries in a few months to start our upgrade.
Part of the problem was due to some large files. On your course I noted that for the unload the recommendation for the number of processes should equal the number of processors.
But on the reload it should be 2 times number of processors. Our QA 270 has 2 so I started 4 processes which seemed to start with the 4 biggest files. 3 of these JCDS EQUI OBJK together account for 33% of our DB! 2 copies of each of these took us up to 90%+.
When I come to do Prod on our 4 way 830, if I start 8 processes I'm not sure if our system will cope with 2 copies of our 8 biggest files.
Is the 2 times number of processors the right way to go?
Is there a way of controlling the order of the file conversions so that it doesn't do all the big ones together?
Regards
Steve

Mixing thread
yours recovery asking a lot of archivelog ,you are in the situation now like you are in no archive mode recovery..which requires last cold backup.
What you can do is restore yours old backup with its old controlfile and then recover till before that miissing log by using recover database using backup controlfile.

HT1473 Im having a problem with adding cds to my library when some of the discs in a set have Gracenote information and other discs don't. iTunes in this situation puts the css that are part of a set into different albums, and I don't know how to combine

I'm having trouble adding "spoken word" CDs that are in a set to my library. When some of the discs have "gracenotes" info the album gets broken up as if each cd was a separate album. I haven't been able to figure out how to have all the cds in the set appear as one album. I have entered each one in the "get info" page as "1 of 7" and "2 of 7" etc, but the ones with gracenote info get put into a separate album. It's frustrating so far! Also, when I want copy an album to the burn folder so i can share it with a friend, it moves the songs as songs, not as albums. Any way around this? Thanks very much!

PS, you don't have the right to burn copies of the songs you've bought/ripped to give away to your fiends...

How to Recover database from old backup and full archive log file

Hi Oracle expert!
I met problem when restore my oracle database.
In my case:
- My database version: 10.2.0.2
- I have a database full backup (01-Nov)
- I have all Archived log file from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
- My database drop in 05-Nov with disk error (no datafile, no redo..).
- I have no any RMAN backup from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
How can i restore my database to 05-Nov?
Thanks

Hi Chinar.
When i used RMAN flow as your step, but i met the problem!
- After recover database i select sequence#, applied from v$archived_log;
--> it apply newest archived log that i had.
- but when I select Data from table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov, it not found!
Not the same way the step:
SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL?
It apply newest the same archived log i had table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov.
How can i do with RMAN to recover my table?That is not possible,if your all available archive logs applied using rman or through sqlplus(recover database using backup controlfile until cancel) and one of these logs contain your table then there are not any problems.So there are not any difference between recovery using rman and user managed(using sqlplus),but there main matter is applying all archive logs.So first check through rman list copy of archivelog all or list backup of archivelog all and identify there in rman repository is any information or not about these logs.

How i recover my database

Dear All
My database crash but luckly i have logical and phsical backup of my data base and i try my level best but i did not get good result, so plz let me know, how i recover my database(Oracle 10g, OS:window xp), means even i attach my tablespaces also
thsnks in advance
Regards,

10g means what? Please provide a full and complete version number.
What do you mean by logical and physical backup ... be very specific and clear. For example don't say "export" indicate whether it was made with exp or datapump and how you were logged on and the parameters used when it was created.
What do you mean by "crash." Again be very specific and clear.
We can do more harm by guessing your situation whereas we can help if we know what actually happened.

SQL error occurred in the database when acces

Dear All,
I am getting following error message while doing file to file scenario.
source side messages are pickedup and entering into the Queues .receiver side i cant able to see any souce messages.
SYSFAIL Message is showing in the Queues when i was double click that message its giving following message.
SQL error occurred in the database when acces
a table.
Plz, help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
Did you get a chance to check the IPC log directories
Also usually for a sysfail message you can check the smw01
You will see a bdoc with status F05. What does it say there?
or
Is it "Scheduled for outbound processing" or "recorded for outbound processing".
I guess the message has not been processed, so the next step is to go to transaction SMQ2, and check for info as to why it is not processed.
If you see a queue status of SYSFAIL, first try resetting it to "Ready" again. If it still fails then, delete that particular LUW. And if you still have some more messages in the queue just click the unlock queue button.
Reward points if this helps
Regards
Pragathi.
