Oracle 8i Backup Restoration

Hi All,
Kindly if someone can put some light on the below query we are facing :
I have a setup of Intel Server with Windows 2000 Server operating system. Oracle 8i is installed in the server. Because of system crash the system was not able to boot.
Attempting to recover whatever possible from OLD Hard Disk, we could sucessfully retreive a copy of " c:\oracle " onto another Hard Disk. But in the process time stamp of the *.dbf files are changed with the latest.
We donot have any DUMP files for restoring.We only have c:\oracle & all file structures which was on the earlier Hard Disk.
Kindly if someone can guide what are the ways for me to retreive the data from these files.
Matter quite urgent..!
Thanks in Advance..!
Regds.

I did something like that in the past:
I got the whole directory where the software was installed, and also the whole databases with all the
datafiles... it is very important that you put everything as if it was the old installation, this because you have the init$ORACLE_SID.ora pointing at specific directories where your control files are located...
If you change the paths Oracle will not start and you'll have to do it again...
if you are planning to change the directories make sure you change the paths in your init$ORACLE_SID.ora
in the future make some full exports:
exp USERID=SYSTEM/MANAGER FULL=Y
just in case... (and put the expdat.dmp file somewhere else)

Oracle 11GR1, Backup / Restore etc.

Hi together
I'm looking for a DotNet API to control status messages, exception handling and so on in Oracle 11GR1.
Thanks for your Help

Rman is part of the database, and is the backup/restore tool. There is no other way then to use rman (in a normal deployment), except a cold backup (file copy).

Oracle 9i Backup/Restore with Data Guard Issues

Greetings,
I am currently using Oracle 9i Data Guard to have a Primary/Standby model.
The current implementation compares the backup piece id from the backed up image (taken from the Primary) with the backup piece id on the Standby db. If the number are not equal then the restore will fail.
1- Is this the best implementation for restoring on a standby?
2- Would it be better to give a permitted gap range between the backup piece ids between the two databases? and if so what would be an acceptable range?
3- In case the gap range discussed in #2 above is allowed, when the Standby is started as primary and the primary set to be standby, would the Data Guard automatically tries to retrieve all the missing archive/redo log files from the primary db?
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure I am following you here. Are you trying to create a physical standby, by using a backup taken from the primary?
If this is what you're trying to do, you can take any hot backup from the primary and use it to sync the standby with your primary. The older the backup you're using to create the standby, the more archive logs you'll need to get synchronized.
As long as you have all the archive logs needed in the archive_log_dest, data guard will automatically retrieve all the missing logs, and apply them on the standby. Again, only if they are available on the primary.
Not sure If this is what you were asking...

Secure backup restore

Hi Experts,
I have a question related to oracle secure backup restore.
Is that possible to restore only the incremental backup?
My full backup is on Sunday, all other days am taking incr backup. I want to restore my data back on Wednesday. For the same, do i need to restore Full backup and incr on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ?
Or is there is any other option to recover a file which is available in Wednesday incremental backup?
Thanks and Regards
Jay

If the file was changed on the Wednesday then it would be included in the Wednesday incremental job, so if you were viewing "latest" and chose the file it would just restore that from the Wednesday backup job. It would only go back to the Full backup if the file hadn't changed so wasn't included in the incr.
You can tell the view to be "as of date" and set it to "exclusive" so you'll only see the files included in that incr job.
Thanks

once again I am opening this database in SQL *plus & deleted the table (Test_table).
Now if restore back the database with backup set taken before deleting table. It is not showing me the Test_table.
What is the problem? Plz help..

How to do oracle backup,restore,recovery using php?

Is there anyone know how to do oracle backup,restore and recovery using php? any tips... is there any ways to do that?

Are you referring to performing RMAN backup operations via the OSB web tool? RMAN operations are managed, not via the web tool, but through RMAN command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM)

System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore as part of migrating from 32 to 64-bit

Source system (I386): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000, Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Target system (x86-64/AMD64): R3E47 Ext Set 2.00 SAP_BASIS 620 Kernel 640 Windows 2000 Oracle 10.2.0.4, non-unicode
Am using method System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore to migrate from 32 to 64 bit (HOM System Copy).
Actions on source system:
a) Upgrade from 9.2.0.7 to Oracle 10.2.0.4
b) Used ora_br_copy.bat to generate CONTROL.SQL and init<sid>.ora
c) Switched logfiles
d) Performed offline backup
Actions on target system:
a) Installed Oracle 10.2.0.1 and patched it to 10.2.0.4
b) Used CD 51033746 "6.20/6.40 based products Installation Master (Edition May 2008)" to install the CI
c) Started installation of the DB instance selecting System Copy/ Oracle Backup/Restore (same <SID> for source and target systems)
Relevant input parameters used:
Database schema: SAPR3
Database character set: US7ASCII
d) When SAPINST stopped to allow for restoring of datafiles, logs and init<sid.ora>:
- copied datafiles and logs to the usual place
- copied CONTROL.SQL (edited to include utilrp.sql and utlrp.sql for the migration from 32 to 64) to the DB-instance intallation . directory.
- copied generated init<SID>.ora to the <ORACLE_HOME>\database
e) Resumed SAPINST.
David Byrne in a previous post suggested: "check your oracle alert file in case there are errors there you may need to update the word size for the 64bit install. Errors like this in the oracle alert file would suggest that.,
ORA-12012
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: 56319], [, ], [, ], [, ], [
ORA-06553"
Well, I am getting ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319] but then my edited CONTROL.SQL (which is mainly a CREATE CONTROLFILE as it would be obtained with a ...BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE) includes at the end this:
shutdown immediate
startup upgrade
spool utlirp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlirp.sql
spool off
Shutdown immediate
Startup
Spool utlrp.log
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql
Spool off
exit
which is supposed to do just that... (I think)
Help, anyone?

> Trying to cheer me up, are you?
No
> It is NOT free that reorganization! Quite expensive, actually, paid for in time! But you're right... the database needed a reorg anyway :-\
True, not "free" - it takes time but the data will be nicely aligned then
> And why would I have to reconfigure all those 10.2 features? Everything's either in the database or init<sid>.ora, ain't it? And my database is a pretty 10.2.0.4 with all those nice features already activated...
No - not really auotmatically if you upgraded from 9.2 And "init<SID>.ora" is past, you nowadays use "spfile" If, of course, e. g. Automatic Undo was activated in 9.2 then it's there of course in 10.2 too.
> One sticky point... I haven't really read the r3load procedure yet and I will before I import, but... I would say I don't have to do anything about the 32->64 bit, right? I mean, it should behave properly while reloading on 64-bit...
The exported content is about 10 % of the size of the system, it's database and OS independent so yes, you can import it nicely on 32bit. Another tip: make sure you don't just use the default configurations for R3load, it will take a HUGE amount of time. Use the package splitter (builtin-in in sapinst) so you get a much higher parallelism when importing.

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB

Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path

Restoring Oracle 11g backup to 10g (or XE)

Is there a way to restore the Oracle 11g backup to 10g (or XE).

Please let me know.

h1. Using Different Releases and Versions of Export
Whenever you are moving data between different releases of the Oracle database, the following basic rules apply:
The Import utility and the database to which data is being imported (the target database) must be the same version.
The version of the Export utility must be equal to the earliest version of the source or target database.
For example, to create an export file for an import into a later release database, use a version of the Export utility that is equal to the source database. Conversely, to create an export file for an import into an earlier release database, use a version of the Export utility that is equal to the version of the target database.
In general, you can use the Export utility from any Oracle8 release to export from an Oracle9i server and create an Oracle8 export file. See Creating Oracle Release 8.0 Export Files from an Oracle9i Database.

RMAN can backup/restore diferent versions of Oracle DataBases regardless OS

Hi,
I am evaluating Recovery Manager to backup and restore Oracle databases.
I have to backup/restore diferents versions of Oracle database, these databases are running in diferents operating systems (AIX, LINUX, Windows)
For example:
Oracle DataBase 9 in AIX 5.3 system
Oracle DataBase 10 in Lunix system
Oracle DataBase 9 in Windows system
I want to have a single RMAN server in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
A single RMAN server can backup/restore diferent versions of Oracle DataBases regardless the operating system?
If the answer is yes, do I need to have an specif operting system in my RMAN server? (AIX, Linux, Windows, etc.)
Thanks for your help;

Hi,
Your question:
I want to have a single RMAN server in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
Sounds more like a machine.
If you would have asked:
I want to have a single RMAN recovery catalog in order to backup/restore all my Oracle DataBases, is it possible?
I would have confirmed as like the other two.
Be aware the catalog version needs to be equal or higher as the highest database version.

Homegneous System copy Specific DB method Oracle Backup/Restore Sapinst

Hello colleagues,
Following the documentation, I´ve one doubt about the above method, is it needed to install again the SCS instance when the system is installed in one host and we want just to refresh database.
I mean, we want to refresh CRM quality system from Production system. It´s a ABAP+JAVA system, so i have to prepare a backup and export Central instance through sapinst in source system.
Afterwards it´s needed to follow the three steps in sapinst, Install SCS instance, Install database instance and install central instance (database copy section) . Or as we´ve already installed our quality CRM system, it´s just enough with installing database instance and central instance (using backup/restore method and exported data from source system)
Thanks a lot for this info because in the SAP guides it´s not clear from my point of view.
Regards

Well i didnot get your question properly, but as per my understanding if you have only ABAP instance installed then you can go with the Database resoration method but as you said ABAP+JAVA instance both are there so in that case you need to build the export of complete system through Sapinst and then you cn perform the same export file to install the target system which will be your Quality.
Another option is that just restore the database via database restoration method then try to restore the JAVA stack by file system method which is i think not supported by SAP if i am not wrong but it can be done i tired the same on XI system.

SAP ORACLE BACKUP RESTORE

Hi all,
+Please assist me with a guideline of carrying out a backup restore,this is to test and ensure that we can be able to restore the backup in the case of a disaster. we perform a Full backup daily and are using BRTOOLS.+
Thank you.
Regards,

Hi,
you need to do the following
1) Copy the log files of the backup date which u want to restore.
2) Create controlfile from production using command alter system backup controlfile to trace;
3) restore the backup on target system using brrestore command.( assumption here is your target system is already installed)
For more details you need to refer help.sap.com

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Actions to be performed after a online backup restore

Hello Guru's,
I have an online backup of a system.
(AIX - ORACLE)
If I restore the backup using Tivoli Storage Manager I still have to perform some actions to recover the database.
I have read through the SAP documentation and it seems I can restore the logs using brtools (brrecover).
My questions actually is, which option do I have to take if I want to apply the offline archive logs as far as possible ?
"Complete database recovery" of "database point in time recovery" ?
I want to make sure that only the archivelogs are being applied and that the database restore is not peformed again.
Thank you all !
bye
BUD

Hello Hans,
> and it seems I can restore the logs using brtools (brrecover).
If you only want to restore your archivelogs, then use brrestore.
brrecover is for recovering the database, not for restoring.
Take a look at here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/88/cadaca94734ae5b8ea3491f615741b/content.htm
and here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0d/d3077b4a0c11d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm
> My questions actually is, which option do I have to take if I want to apply the offline archive logs as far as possible ?
> "Complete database recovery" of "database point in time recovery" ?
In this case you have to do an incomplete database recovery or in other words called "point in time recovery". For the difference between these two restore types take a look at the oracle documentation:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/intro004.htm#i1016863
After you have restored your archive logs you can perform the recovery manually:
> SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
> SQL> cancel;
> SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Btw.as you are using TDP for SAP you can use backfm to restore only some several files.

Single Tablespace Backup, Restore and Recovery

Hi Experts,
I need your kind help. Actually I want to take hot backup by RMAN for a particular TABLESPACE ..
I know this is possible. My question is when I restore a tablespace to any other test database
I need to create new database or I can restore it to any existing database? Just like adding new tablespace??
To recover this tablespace I need to archive log backup ?
How I can open the database on which I m going to restore/recover this particular tablespace ???
Regards,
Rizwan

You cannot copy a tablespace from one database to another using the normal Backup/Restore methods.
You have to use the TTS (Transportable Tablespace) methods.
