LR Catalog recovery?

So I was cleaning out my Computer, and deleted one of The 200mb lightroom catalog files, since it looked like i had a bunch of them there(not smart, i know). Now when I start up LR, it cant find the right one, I oped up a backup but that one doesnt have my presets/metadata info, though most of the photos seems to be intacts, at least up to a certain point...new ones are gone since I didnt back-up in a while. The problem is that I cant recover it from Recycle bin since I empied it out. Though then I got additional software to recover deleted files from RB, but the only files I seem to be recovering are "Lightroom 3 Catalog.lrcat-journal" type that are 2mb or less. Real 200MB catalog is nowhere to be found. There is another Catalog though thats not the Backup and has all my presets/settings in there, but it has no pictures in it at all(with a different Identity plate too) . I also checked the preset folder. Its there, so I do have them, its just the photos arent showing up.
Am I missing some files to make this Catalog work?

any ideas?

If you follow a blog post and something goes terribly wrong who is going to lose their job? You or the blogger?oh no no, not going to follow blindly. JUst copy the command out and paste here so that i can show the command.
I am clearifying whether is there any thing i need pre- task. NOt too sure i need to shutdown completely, backup the rman catalog schema, etc.

Hi Ora 83,
What is the reason of this error ? The reason for the RMAN-20242 is there are no archivelogs which comply to the filter "until time 'SYSDATE-2'" at 18 Jan 22:42.
Probably you run a purge command more frequent because the oldest logsequence available for backup was created at:
2011 JAN 17 17 00 01 (=sequence=7348)
and the latest at:
2011 JAN 18 22 42 01 (=sequence=7354)
according to your output.
So for some reason the archivelogs created before 16th Jan 22:42 are not on the system as well as the archivelogs created between 16th Jan 22:42 and 17 Jan 17:00.
Maybe there are none (you can check in the alertlog and let us know)?

Tycho

My Catalog - "Can't open Database" error

After being able to open Photoshop Album Starter Edition successfully and without incident several months ago, one day I received this error:
"Problem opening the Catalog named "My Catalog". Another user or application may have the catalog open, or one or more files may be missing, out of date, or damaged. [Microsoft] [ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] can't open database 'unknown'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt. Attempt to compact and recover this catalog then try again? - OK or Cancel"
If I choose OK, then I get another error:
"Catalog Recovery Incomplete - A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalog may be ok, but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Reover Catalog option or restarting your computer system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup. - OK"
That goes to a 3rd error message:
"Unable to open "My Catalog because it is damaged. Please choose: Open existing or Create a new catalog named My Catalog-1.psa"
If I choose existing, it goes to the folder where My Catalog is stored, I can click it, and then I receive the first message. If I choose create a new catalog, it does, then gives me the first error message. PSA SE never opens, but the photo downloader appears in my Task bar Notification area, and I can Launch, Enable/Disable or Exit that program. If I try to acquire a photo, I end up with the same first error message.
I've seen the other threads that address what may be close to this issue, and I've done all the fixes suggested, short of reinstalling WindowsXP, which I'd rather avoid, but I've had no luck - I still get the exact same error messages.
I am using Office 97, including Access, Word, Excel, etc. but I'm not having any issues with those. I'm also using Pagemaker 7.0 and no issues there related to a catalog or database. I did have at one time a trial copy of Illustrator, and this problem started occurring after that trial was expired. I've since uninstalled Illustrator, done all the fixes suggested here, deleted the My Catalog files, restarted, uninstalled and re-installed PSA SE3.2, and still it cannot 'see' My Catalog.
Any other suggestions (besides upgrading to Office-this decade, which I would love, but employer hasn't made that leap yet.)? TIA
Tracey

No, no multiple users on this machine, or on that application. Both are located on the C: drive of a computer with intranet and internet access.
Could it have anything to do with the application Microsoft Access? [Microsoft ODBC Access97 driver] is named in the first error message. Access97 was always on this computer, but it wasn't actually put into use until about 6-8 months ago, and it was sometime after I started using it that I could no longer open PSA-SE. Connection? Fixable?

Error while registering RMAN from primary to catalog database

Hi all,
Here we have a 10g dataguard environment with db1(db_unique_name) as primary and db2(db_unique_name) as physical standby database. Also we configured one schema on a third machine as catalog database using following steps.
The steps executed in catalog database(appsdb):
SQL> create tablespace rmancatlog_tbs datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/NEW/rman_catalog.dbf' size 500M autoextend off extent management local segment space management auto;
SQL> create user rman identified by oracle
2 default tablespace rmancatlog_tbs
3 quota unlimited on rmancatlog_tbs
4 ;
SQL> GRANT connect, resource, recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;
RMAN> create catalog;
recovery catalog created
Added tns entries of catalog database in primary and standby. Then from primary database we tried to register to catalog database. It is showing that it is registering. But every query afterwards in rman is throwing the error. Below are the steps and error:

EMERGENCY: List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

Hi,
this is an emergency request....
I have this data guard set up. And i accidently dropped online redo logs, standby logs and the archive log except the current online redolog.
i actually ran to cleanup the whole directory which included the controlfile and the datafiles (was on the wrong location on ASM)
but the controlfile and the datafiles did not get deleted. i can still see them on the ASM.
and now when i am trying to restore the archive logs, but i keep getting error as shown below...
WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.
Use the RMAN command CATALOG RECOVERY AREA to re-catalog
any such files. This is most likely the result of a crash
during file creation.
so when i did the below i was getting error as:
RMAN> CATALOG RECOVERY AREA;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
searching for all files in the recovery area
no files found to be unknown to the database
List of files in Recovery Area not managed by the database

RMAN-07527: Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter
number of files not managed by recovery area is 82, totaling 168.10GB
But i do see those data files that RMAN is complaining as shown above in the ASM.
I HOPE I DID NOT MESS UP THE CONTROLFILE and the DATFILES
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS MISTAKE THAT I DID.
Right now the data guard is running fine, the logs are getting shipped from primary and the getting applied at the DG.
And i am able to see all the redo logs got deleted.
But not sure how the deleted redo logs got created in the ASM (i did not create them manually)
Thanks.
Philip.

Yes this happened on the standby database.
I had to restore the archive logs because i deleted all the archive logs which got shipped from the primary.
I did re-create the standby logs. But when i checked back the redo logs that i deleted came back again.
I have no idea how they can back again. is it a feature of ASM where a mirrored copy of the files are stored on ASM and they re-create them when accidently dropped.
Can you help me understand how the redologs got created again automatically.
Right now the data guard is running fine but i do see the error
WARNING: A file of type ARCHIVED LOG may exist in
db_recovery_file_dest that is not known to the database.
Use the RMAN command CATALOG RECOVERY AREA to re-catalog

Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 error My Catalog

I am having the same problem as Andy:
Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Starter Edition 3 numerous times. Each time I get the following message:
There was a problem opening the catalog 'My Catalog'
Another user or application may have the catalogue open, or one or more files may be missing,out of date or damaged.
The ODBC data source returned the following error:

Attempt to compact and recover this catalog and then open again?
If I then click OK it says
A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalogue may be OK but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Recover Catalog option or restarting your system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup.
When I click OK - only option offered:
Unable to open catalog called 'My Catalog' because the file is damaged.
Please select an action to perform:
open an existing catalog
create a new catalog called My Catalogue-1.psa
If I do the first it goes back to square 1 above. If I do the second the same.
Am running on XP fully up to date.
HELP!!!

Hi everybody, please help me too!!!
I am also having the same problem with Ron:
Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Starter Edition 3 numerous times too as mention by Ron (exactly the same problem...)
I tried to use the solution provided by the technical support, such as installing Photoshop Elements 3.0.1 update, but halfway through the installation, this message appears:
" The updater cannot find Photoshop Elements 3.0 in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 3.0\
Please attempt to locate Photoshop Elements 3.0 again or cancel the update and install Photoshop Elements 3.0 from the original disks or CD."
I do not have any Adobe installation CD with me. The only CDs I have are the Monitor CD User CD User Guide and Installation Files provided when I bought this computer 3 months ago. I am using Windows XP with 512 RAM.
Please help me or reply to my email [email protected] Thanks a lot!!!

RMAN catalog Downgrade from 11gR1 (11.1.0.6.0) to 10gR2 (10.2.0.4)

I am in the process of downgrading rman catalog from 11gR1 (11.1.0.6.0) to 10gR2 (10.2.0.4). Using expdp/impdp we migrated the rman schema from 11g to 10g. I am able to connect to 10g catalog now. but if i run any command it gives following error.
./rman target sys

Hi Tycho ,
Thanks for your help and suggestions . What i did is i migrated the rman catalog from 11gR1 (11.1.0.6.0) to 10gR2 (10.2.0.4) then connected rman catalog from 11gR2 Client which is the highest version available and then did the following.
RMAN> upgrade catalog;
recovery catalog upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
DBMS_RCVMAN package upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
DBMS_RCVCAT package upgraded to version 11.02.00.01
RMAN>
Now i am able to connect directly and take backup's from 11gR2 , 11gR1 and 10gR2 clients respectively. I also tested the backup's from grid control which are working fine.
Currently my rman catalog database is 10.2.0.4 and my rman catalog schema is 11.02.00.01.
Thanks for everyone's help.

OSB Catalog Media Family Attributes

Hi,
In the section about the Catalog Recovery Media Family Object, the OSB Admin Guide states that "Oracle recommends rotating backups across two volume sets", without actually saying how this might be done.
I have a backup window running from midnight to 6am, with the catalog backup taking place at midnight.
My assumption is that this rotation across two volume sets can be achieved by tweaking the write window and retain time of the OSB-CATALOG-MF media family to something like a 6 hour write window and a 24 hour retain time. Of course, I could extend the retain time out to a number of days so that I could have that many days of history, but by restricting the write window I can guarentee that I only have one catalog backup per volume set
Is my assumption correct, or is there some other way of achieving this?

Yes that's a way to do it. This way it will always use a new tape for the catalog backup, and those tapes will be kept for as long as you specify. Personally I keep one weeks worth of catalog backup tapes (so 7 tapes) just to be really safe against media problems.
So I use write window 1 day, keep volume set 6 days.

Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition 3.0 - problem opening My Catalog

Have installed and uninstalled Adobe Starter Edition 3 numerous times. Each time I get the following message:
There was a problem opening the catalog 'My Catalog'
Another user or application may have the catalogue open, or one or more files may be missing,out of date or damaged.
The ODBC data source returned the following error:
"[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid connection string attribute"
Attempt to compact and recover this catalog and then open again?
If I then click OK it says
A problem was encountered during catalog recovery. Your catalogue may be OK but if you experience problems with it that can't be resolved through the Recover Catalog option or restarting your system you may need to restore this catalog from a backup.
When I click OK - only option offered:
Unable to open catalog called 'My Catalog' because the file is damaged.
Please select an action to perform:
* open an existing catalog
* create a new catalog called My Catalogue-1.psa
If I do the first it goes back to square 1 above. If I do the second the same.
Every time I have uninstalled I have then done a search for all files using name My Catalog and deleted those.
Am running on XP fully up to date.
HELP!!!

Jim,
Many thanks. But, yes, I have done all that several times. Worse still when I load the Photoshop to my laptop all works just fine. Yet both are on up to date XP. I have a Dell p.c. and a Toshiba laptop. Maybe all this is hardware related? Or else I have some Windows corruption on my p.c. But I don't think so as other people are reporting the same problem as I have.
Do you know if there is a way I can ask Adobe directly?
Regards
Andy
