Oracle Online Backup through EMC Networker - RMAN Script

Hi,
For taking online oracle backup through EMC Networker, we configure the RMAN script to connect to the target database, create the media channels, backup format etc. The password for the sys or rman user entered in the RMAN script is in clear-text format.
Due to security reasons, I don't want the passwords to be entered in the RMAN script. Is there any option for configuring RMAN script without mentioning the username/password to connect to the target database ?
Thanks & Regards,
Shreejesh.

When you have to connect remotely to RMAN, you cannot hide the password, you can only define very restricted access for the script itself. Remote OS authentication will not work, because the target db user needs SYSDBA privilege, which cannot be granted to an externally identified user.

Oracle online backup failed

Dear all,
I am scheduling a online backup for ECC 6.0 , oracle 10.2 to target NAS device. I have mentioned the error log.
BR0252E Function _mkdir() failed for '
<IPaddress>\backup\bebfoyky' at location BrDirCreate-1
BR0253E errno 13: Permission denied
I have created sapservice<sid> user in the NAS device. Anything i need to check more. Could anyone have any idea... please help me.
Thanks
Raj

Dear Juan,
Yes , both the users belongs to administrator group.
@ Rishi - The Ip address which i have mentioned in my earlier mess is the IP address of the network device.
It was working fine with another device, after changing it to the new target device i am facing this issue.
I have changed the target network path of the NAS in the init<sid>.sap, also i have restarted the instance as well.
Do i need to reboot the entire server to make the changes effect ?
Kindly suggest me.

Oracle Online backup limitations

Hi,
We are using oracle 10g for SAP.
1. In which situation oracle Online consistent backup is not useful.
2. In a situation all online relog groups are corrupted. Is it possible recovery with online consistent backup ?
3. In which recovery situation offline backup is good than online backup?
Regards,
Nani

Hi,
2. In a situation all online relog groups are corrupted.
Is it possible recovery with online consistent backup ?
Online Consistent backup only contains the offline redo log files created during a backup run. One can not get any online redo log group members from such online consistent backup. If all online redo logs are corrupted/loss then in such situation instance recovery is not possible and only incomplete partial /point-in-time recovery is possible. If the mirrored online redo log files is available then its possible to perform instance recovery.
Please refer "Recovering from Current Online Redo Log Missing" && "Recovering from One Inactive Online Redo Log Missing" topic of this useful document [Oracle Restore and Recovery|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/97a4f439-0d01-0010-d488-d29b45e2f5ab?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].

How RMAN do online backup?

When doing RMAN online backup, all datafiles are not in backup mode( not like user managed backup). How oracle did that? multifiles backup at same time without redo and undo.
Thanks.

From Article Note:76736.1 RMAN FAQ: Recovery Manager -- Frequently Asked
To understand why RMAN does not require extra logging or backup mode,
you must first understand why those features are required for non-RMAN
online backups.
A non-RMAN online backup consists of a non-Oracle tool, such as cp or
dd, backing up a datafile at the same time that DBWR is updating the
file. We can't prevent the tool from reading a particular block at the
exact same time that DBWR is updating that block. When that happens,
the non-Oracle tool might read a block in a half-updated state, so that
the block which is copied to the backup media might only have been
updated in its first half, while the second half contains older data.
This is called a "fractured block". If this backup needs to be restored
later, and that block needs to be recovered, recovery will fail because
that block is not usable.
The 'alter tablespace begin backup' command is our solution for the
fractured block problem. When a tablespace is in backup mode, and a
change is made to a data block, instead of logging just the changed
bytes to the redo log, we also log a copy of the entire block image
before the change, so that we can reconstruct this block if media
recovery finds that this block was fractured. That block image logging
is what causes extra redo to be generated while files are in backup
mode.
The reason that RMAN does not require extra logging is that it
guarantees that it will never back up a fractured block. We can make
that guarantee because we know the format of Oracle data blocks, and we
verify that each block that we read is complete before we copy it to the
backup. If we read a fractured block, we read the block again to obtain
a complete block before backing it up. non-Oracle tools are not able to
do the same thing because they do not know how to verify the contents of
an Oracle data block.
Backup mode has another effect, which is to 'freeze' the checkpoint in
the header of the file until the file is removed from backup mode.
We do this because we cannot guarantee that the third-party backup
tool will copy the file header prior to copying the data blocks.
RMAN does not need to freeze the file header checkpoint because we
know the order in which we will read the blocks, which enables us to
capture a known good checkpoint for the file.

Rman script backing up a table, and OEM

1. Please share a RMAN script backing up a table on a daily basis at a given time. The purpose is to actually see a RMAN script in the first place.
2. Is RMAN the single most tool being used for backup and recovery, what are some of the other popular tools in this respect?
3. Can RMAN scripts be triggered using OEM?

http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/documents/sample-of-rman-script-18791
2. Is RMAN the single most tool being used for backup and recovery, what are some of the other popular tools in this respect?It doesn't matter which are the other tools, oracle only supports the backup taken by RMAN and recommends to use it only. I must recommend you to read this following paper to know that why RMAN should be used,

3. Can RMAN scripts be triggered using OEM?Yes, just follow the wizards and in the end, EM shows you the same in the form of script.

Online backups on BIW systems, every update is logged?

Some years ago I was at an SAP BIW installation, they performed Oracle online backups dayly.
For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
I got to know there were some updates (not critical) not being logged in the DB, so online backups, as well as standby DB would not be as useful as on OLTP systems.
Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays? Is everything logged on a BW system? Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes? Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Thanks very much for your experience and answers !!
Eva

Hello Eva,
> For some reason, they had to restore and recover DB, and after using an online backup as a restore basis, some indexes were not usable, because they had been updated without archive log information.
This behaviour is absolutely normal.
In a BW system the indexes are created / rebuild with the NOLOGGING clause, because of some performance reasons.
> Finally, the easiest way for the system administator was using an offline backup.
The easiest yes - but concurrently the worst one. He can identify the "new" indexes since the last online backup and only recreate this ones.
> Does somebody know if this is or this is not the same nowadays?
Yes the NOLOGGING clause is still used nowadays.
> Is everything logged on a BW system?Is that a tunable configuration for some indexes?
You can "deactivate" the NOLOGGING clause.. but then you can have some performance impacts in your BW load processes.
Check sapnote #442763 for the customizing.
> Is an online backup really useful after restoring and recovering?
Yes, of course .. the ONLINE backup is the preferred method.
If you recover your database with the BR*Tools .. your unusable indexes are automatically rebuild.
Check sapnote #849485 for that feature.

Reg: Online Backup

Hi all,
We are using mssql database for our one of the BWP sysem. I am trying to take online backup through DB13. But i am not getting the online/offline options in DB13 callender. May i know the proper steps to schedule online backup through DB13.
Advance thanks.
with regards
Harish

Hello,
backups through db13 are always online. A online backup is created through the execution of a backup database or backup log command during the runtime of the SQL Server. And this is exactly what the db13 is doing, it schedules a job (for later or immediately execution) with a backup database/log command.
A offline backup can be done, when you shutdown the SQL Server (and of course the SAP system) and do a filecopy on system level. This can't be done through db13, as the SAP system is down in that time.

Do a list command to see if the controlfile backup is on tape.
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
I suggest you to read the manual of EMC Networker or call EMC on how to restore the database to another node. I am using Veritas Netbackup, it may be similar to EMC Networke for your reference. There are a few things that need to be followed when you restore database to another node:
1) set DB_ID, which you have done
2) set NB_CLIENT (in your case NSR_CLIENT) to the primary node from where backup was taken
3) configure the backup server to allow redirect restore between the two nodes.
Hope this helps.

Less redo generates at the time of online backup using RMAN

Hi,
can someone eleborate that why less redo generates at the time of RMAN online backup in comparison of manual hotbackup.
Thanks

A manual hot backup (aka "OS backup" or "scripted backup") cannot handle fractured blocks. This happens when a backup command is copying out blocks from a datafile at the same time as DBWR is updating blocks. The Oracle Block Size (8KB) is generally a multiple of the OS Block size (512Bytes to 4KB or 8KB, depending on the filesystem / raw device and how the OS command copies blocks out). It is possible for DBWR to write 8KB and the OS backup utility to be concurrently reading the same Oracle block as, say, two different 4KB reads. The first half of the Oracle block may be read by one OS call and the second half by another OS call -- the two halves would be inconsistent with each other if Oracle were writing the database block at the same time.
(Therefore a restore of such a backup would give you an inconsistent -- i.e. fractured -- block, which would be logically corrupt).
In order to handle such issues, after a BEGING BACKUP is issued, for every first change to a database block, the whole block is written to the redo stream, not just the change vectors. (If the same database block is subsequently modified while in BACKUP mode, it is only the change vectors that have to be written to the redo stream). Once the END BACKUP is issued, the redo stream does not need to capture whole database blocks.
If such a backup is restored, it still has fractured blocks. However, when applying the ArchiveLogs generated during the Backup, each such fractured block is "automagically repaired" because a whole image is restored from the ArchiveLog. (Subsequent changes are replayed as changes through the change vectors).

Oracle Hot Backup Script Windows Server 2003

Hello,
Does anyone here have a working Oracle 10I database hot backup script for Windows Server 2003? If so can you please post it here.
Thanks.

Here is a basic batch script I have used for a hot backup of Oracle databases using RMAN
Will just need to update some locations based on you environment just check all the comments and change what you need to but this can be scheduled to run regularly through the windows scheduler for database backups.
This will take a hot backup and backup the archive logs.
Let me know if you have any quesitons.

10g Physical Standby to be used for Backup through RMAN

Dear All,
I have 10g Database Primary and Standby Server which is operating in Maximum Performance Mode. I want to use Standby Database for performing Weekly Full and Daily Incremental Backups through RMAN. Kindly inform me is it possible, if yes how should I configure it. I will also be using Compression and Encryption while performing backups.
Best Regards,
Asif

Yes, that is possible.
Because the standby databases are in mount mode, they can be accessed through the SYS account .
I use the following RMAN script for the same purpose. Please note that we have configure the flashback area, so we are not letting RMAN delete the archive files:
run {
sql 'alter system archive log current';
sql 'alter system archive log current';
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)';
backup
incremental level 0
tag full_bk_db_webshop
format 'df_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
(database include current controlfile);
backup archivelog all;
This script is for a FULL backup ( level 0 ). You could also use the "backup full" command
You can easily change the level of the Backup for incremental purposes.
Starting RMAN - if configured correctly - is the same as with an open database
export ORACLE_SID=<STDBYSID>
rman target / rcvcat <rman/rman>@<catalogsid>
the user for, and the catalogsid are merely examples
