Restore missing datafile

Hello,
I clone a database to a new DRP Server, I create the control file to reorganice the datafiles and open the database.
Now I see that 2 datafiles have a quote en the name (xxxx.dbf´) and the backup software didn´t take them.
If I copied this files from production to DRP (I put the tablespace in backup mode, copy this files and then put the tablespace in end backup mode)
and then rename the datafile (alter database create datafile file '/u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/MISSING00047' AS '/datos2/oradata/CNA_1/TH_OMEART04.dbf';)
Does it work ?
The status in the v$datafile is "RECOVER"
Thank for you help.
Adrian

If you have flashback on you can flashback to before the resetlogs and add the files.
If not, then you can't add the datafile back, so you may as well drop it.
alter database datafile 'xxxxx' offline drop;

how do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

Hello Jessica472,
It sounds like you need to recover some missing files but do not have access to the iWork '09 disc you used to install it. If you have a Time Machine backup and know what files you need, you can use the "Restoring specific files or folders" section of the following article to restore them:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
If you do not have Time Machine, you will need the disc to reinstall the software suite.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Restore single datafile from source database to target database.

Here's my issue:
Database Release : 11.2.0.3 across both the source and targets. (ARCHIVELOG mode)
O/S: RHEL 5 (Tikanga)
Database Storage: Using ASM on a stand-alone server (NOT RAC)
Using Oracle GG to replicate changes on the Source to the Targets.
My scenario:
We utilize sequences to keep the primary key in tact and these are replicated utilizing GG. All of my schema tables are located in one tablespace and datafile and all of my indexes are in seperate tablespace (nothing is being partitioned).
In the event of media failure on the Target or my target schema being completely out of whack, is there a method where I can copy the datafile/tablespace from my source (which is intact) to my target?
I know there are possibilites of
1) restore/recover the tablespace to a SCN or timestamp in the past and then I could use GoldenGate to run the transactions in (but this could take time depending on how far back I need to recover the tablespace and how many transactions have processed with GG) (This is not fool-proof).
2) Could use DataPump to move the data from the Source schema to the Target schema (but the sequences are usually out of order if they haven't fired on the source, get that 'sequence is defined for this session message'). I've tried this scenario.
3) I could alter the sequences to get them to proper number using the start and increment by feature (again this could take time depending on how many sequences are out of order).
I would think you could
1) back up the datafile/tablespace on the source,
2)then copy the datafile to the target.
3) startup mount;
4) Newname the new file copied from the source (this is ASM)
5) Restore the datafile/tablespace
6) Recover the datafile/tablespace
7) alter database open;
Question 1: Do I need to also copy the backup piece from the source when I execute the backup tablespace on the source as indicated in my step 1?
Question 2: Do I need to include "plus archivelog" when I execute the backup tablespace on the source as indicated in my step 1?
Question 3: Do I need to execute an 'alter system switch logfile' on the Target when the recover in step 6 is completed?
My scenario sounds like a Cold Backup but running with Archivelog mode, so the source could be online while the database is running.
Just looking for alternate methods of recovery.
Thanks,
Jason

Let me take another stab at sticking a fork into this myth about separating tables and indexes.
Let's assume you have a production Oracle database environment with multiple users making multiple requests and the exact same time. This assumption mirrors reality everywhere except in a classroom where a student is running a simple demo.
Let's further assume that the system looks anything like a real Oracle database system where the operating system has caching, the SAN has caching, and the blocks you are trying to read are split between memory and disk.
Now you want to do some simple piece of work and assume there is an index on the ename column...
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE ename = 'KING';The myth is that Oracle is going to, in parallel, read the index and read the table segments better, faster, whatever, if they are in separate physical files mapped by separate logical tablespaces somehow to separate physical spindles.
Apply some synapses to this myth and it falls apart.
You issue your SQL statement and Oracle does what? It looks for those index blocks where? In memory. If it finds them it never goes to disk. If it does not it goes to disk.
While all this is happening the hundreds or thousands of other users on the database are also making requests. Oracle is not going to stop doing work while it tries to find your index blocks.
Now it finds the index block and decides to use the ROWID value to read the block containing the row with KING's data. Did it freeze the system? Did it lock out everyone else while it did this? Of course not. It puts your read request into the queue and, again, first checks memory to see if it needs to go to disk.
Where in here is there anything that indicates an advantage to having separate physical files?
And even if there was some theoretical reason why separate files might be better ... are they separate in the SAN's cache? No. Are they definitely located on separate stripes or separate physical disks? Of course not.
Oracle uses logical mappings (tables and tablespaces) and SANS use logical mappings so you, the DBA or developer, have no clue as to where anything physically is located.
PS: Ouija Boards don't work either.

How to fix a missing datafile with status recover

Dear all,
We have Oracle 10 database. And we create a datafile by mistake, and also by mistake we drop the datafile.
Now the condition is, the datafile is missing but still mentioned in control file, and produce an error every time we do a backup since there's a file missing.
If we select from $vdatafile, the datafile status is recover.
We tried to offline the datafile, but its no help.
How to fix this?
Thanks.

Sorry to bump this thread again,
I tried to get the same error in a Oracle sandbox server.
I deleted a datafile, so i got a missing datafile, and then i offlined the datafile.
Then, i created a backup control file and deleted line that refer to the error datafile, and then run it as a sql script to create a new control file.
But when a new control file was created, the control file got a missing datafile and offlined it automatically.
This is the control file backuped to a trace file, please notice datafile DATA00001

Sunil KumarHi, actually existis missing datafile in disk or you deleted this file?(existis this file C:\oradata\datafile.dbf or not?)

Why is Oracle RMAN restoring a datafile to a different diskgroup?

Hello,
When I was trying an RMAN restore of a datafile, I found it is restoring the datafile to a new location. Why is Oracle restoring a datafile to a different diskgroup instead of restoring to the original diskgroup where the datafile was originally present?
1) I have a datafile '+DATA3/slob1/datafile/undotbs2.260.819992871' which is on +DATA3 diskgroup
2) I am taking a backup on to +FRA diskgroup
3) I then offline and delete the datafile 5 using asmcmd to simulate the loss of a datafile
4) I perform restore and recover of datafile 5 from the backup set on +FRA
5) Unfortunately the datafile got restored on to +FRA instead of +DATA3. I realize that the file name can change because it is going to be a new file on ASM but I would assume this will be on the same diskgroup atleast since the control file has it pointing to '+DATA3/slob1/datafile/undotbs2.260.819992871' before restoration.
When I tested on file system, this gets restored on to file system correctly.
Anyone has any idea why the datafile was restored on to +FRA instead of +DATA3?
Below is the screen output of what I did.

Missing datafiles when trying to restore DB

Hi,
For some reason when running duplicate database command, rman does not find few datafiles on my LAST weekly LEVEL 0 backup ,
and tried to restore them from the prevoius LEVEL 0. the datafiles are stored on tapes and not on the disk.
I would like to know if / what command i need to execute using rman , before taking another LEVEL 0 backup.
Thanks

Hi Yoav,
I would like to know if / what command i need to execute using rman , before taking another LEVEL 0 backup.Maybe you can check the status of the datafiles in v$datafile and v$datafile_header?
Was there a reason why some datafiles were not backed up? Was it a failure on the backup server side (like no empty tapes)?
Do you have a logfile with an error?
You should be able to run a new level 0 without any problem if all is OK.
(You do not have to do a clean up if that's your question.)
Regards,
Tycho

Missing datafile after cloing oracle EBS from production to test

Good Day
I have done a restore from the production system to the test system some time ago . Today I got an error on my test system saying ORA-00376: file 375 cannot be read at this time . After checking I found that the file seems to be missing on the test environment .
SQL > select file_name from dba_data_files where file_id=375 ;
/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375
So I got the name from production and since the file seems to be avilabe in test I did the rename as follows :
SQL> alter database rename file '/gldb11i/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00375' to '/gld
b11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf' ;
Database altered.
But when I tryed to recover the file I got the error .
SQL> recover datafile '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01122: database file 375 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 375: '/gldb11i/oradevd/oradata/dev/gld16.dbf'
ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id
Ofcourse that is becuse my test dataabse was renamed from production name fmprod to test name fmdev .
Is there any way to recover the file ? . I have all the archive logs avilable . Can nid change the database id in the file if it is only one file ?
Why did I not get any errors when I was doing the post cloneing process ?
Please note my databse is versio 9.2.0.6
Many thanks to all

1. Use Transportable feature to transport the remaining datafile from production to test.
How can I do that without stopping production or making it read only .
2. Reclone only that tabespace from Production to test.
How , I used the oracle provided scripts for the cloning process ie . adcfgclone.pl
3. Depending on the size of data contents, manually drop and recreate the tablespace in test, export contents from Production, import into test.
I am worried about the data consistancy . Will the database be consistant it I do that there might be tables on other tablespaces related to this tablespace
Thanks

Missing datafile from system-tablespace?

Hello!
We've got a major power-loss yesterday. After that our database does not start correct.
I got the message:
ORA-00600: Interner Fehlercode, Argumente: [kccpb_sanity_check_2], [9577], [9542], [0x0], [], [], [], []
After that I searched the forum and recreated the controlfiles and started recover database.
Now I always got the following error-message:
ORA-01173:Data dictionary indicates missing data file from system tablespace
I'm not really shure if I created another datafile for that tablespace. Even though there is no other datafile in the "oradata-directory".
Does anyone know how to go further?

How to I restore missing StickiesDatabase file from Time Machine?

I have looked all over for a solution to this. Basically, I am trying to restore a stickiesdatabase file from a Time Machine backup. I put in a new HD and am slowly pulling files over in pieces. The thing is, the backup that had the stickies I want to restore did not seem to back that file up. I navigated to user/library to find StickiesDatabase, and it is not there, even though I went into the terminal and unhid invisible folders and files (other greyed out invisibles showed up so I know it worked). But here's the weird thing, when looking on my current hard drive, I could find that file for my new, empty stickies just fine. Also, I went further to a Time Machine backup from a year ago, and I found the stickiesdatabase file in the library as well. It's like these last two backups I did that had the stickies I want did not include that file in the backup. Any thoughts? Am I doomed? Oh, and I am currently on Mavericks and the backup in question was also Mavericks. And I have a 2008 Macbook Pro if that info is helpful.

There is another, huge thread on TM backups on this forum and exactly this issue has come up. Sadly, no one has a perfect answer. I do not have a spare drive available to test this myself, but I would try something along these lines.
-- Ask TM to restore your full Library and the Masters, if Referenced. I believe that TM will give you the option to not overwriting your current Library, but be careful. However you do, stick this "Recovery Library" out somewhere. (Yes, this is gonna take some time, run it overnight.)
-- Open "Recovery" with Aperture and select the Project(s) that contain the images you want. Export these "Projects as New Library." (Don't export as either Versions or Masters.) I would select the box "Consolidate Masters" and I would probably discard the Previews. Stick this somewhere.
-- Now open "Original Library" and import the "Library" that you exported back into your Original Library as something like "Stupid Lost Project."
-- You should now have a Project full of adjusted, and adjustable images. (N.B. this is basically the technique I use with my laptop. I shoot, load into AP3 on the laptop, noodle, and then export/import into AP3 on the MacPro when I get home.)
-- Clean up. (Delete "Recovery", convert the recovered Project back to Referenced Masters, if you wish, etc.)
One good argument for never throwing those old USB drives away.
I have missed some of the details in the process, so be careful, but I believe that this will work until Apple lets us run Aperture inside Time Machine.
Best wishes.

Is there a way to restore missing lightroom files without the original files?

I am currently trying to reedit some old work, unfortunately, I lost the memory card with all the original files, is there a way I can restore the files in LR without the originals? I figure since the program still has some of the data and can show us a preview of the images, there should be a way around this.

I assume you copied the original memory card files to HDD during import into LR. Did you later move the files or the containing folder to another location from outside LR and now they are missing?

HT1451 How to restore missing playlists

I was updating to iOS 7 on my ipad 2. I did the upgrade through iTunes. First, I did a a complete sync and then did the upgrade.
After the iOS 7 upgrade and the restore to my iPad, I noticed that about half of my playlists were missing in iTunes. All my music is still in iTunes but playlists are gone.
Anything I can do to get the playlists back?
