RMAN configuration files

If a database server has a catastrophic failure and RMAN was run previously from that same database server are there any configuration files that RMAN would need to rebuild the database from backups stored on tape or is everything that RMAN needs stored in the backup?
TIA,
Dave

If you have the latest controlfile, spfile, full database and archivelog backups taken by RMAN, then no need of any configuration files.
If you use a recovery catalog even the DBID will be stored. So its not need to be remembered. You can get it from the catalog tables. Here is how
select db_id
from db t1, dbinc t2
where t1.db_key=t2.db_key
and t2.db_name = '&1';

  • What is RMAN configure file ?

    Hi,
    When you create recovery catalog, and start RMAN, where does RMAN get information to decide to get configure from catalog database instead of control file? what is the file name? Thanks.

    hi
    if you connect ( currently) with target database control file then ur backup information goes in control file instead of recovery catalog..

  • Why are my RMAN backup files still around?

    Environment:
    Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 64-bit
    Good Morning (at least it's morning here at the moment),
    I have a test database that I currently have set up to do an Incremental Level 0 backup every morning at about 03:00.
    I also do an 'archivelog backup all' every 4 hours during the day.
    My archivelog deletion policy is 'backed up 2 times'.
    I have RMAN set up with a recovery window of 8 days (SHOW ALL - seen below).
    I have several RMAN files dated 11 days ago.
    Question: Why are these files still around?

    Michael,
    I read Ed's thread and I understand about the timing of the Full (Incr Lvl 0) and the incrementals.
    In my case I'm not doing any incrementals (Incr Lvl 1) of the database, just Incr Lvl 0 every day. I do the archivelog backups during the day to keep the /arch mount point under control.
    So, if I have Incremental Level 0 backups on the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, ..... With an 8 day recovery window I shouldn't need the ones from the 19th or 20th at a minimum and possibly the 21st depending on when the math is done. Right?
    Am I missing something?
    *************** NEWS FLASH ******************
    Whoops!!! Egg on my face! I just checked back in my email logs of the backups and now recall there were some disk space issues around that time that caused the backups to fail and it just so happens that the backups on the 20th, 21st and 22nd all failed.
    I should learn to trust RMAN more. It is obviously smarter than me!! :-)
    Sorry for the red flags. I'll do my homework more completely next time.
    Not a problem. We've all been there, done that.
    I can't tell you how many times I've been stuck on something, run out of ideas on my own research and thrown a question to the forum, and no sooner to I hit the 'send' button that a light goes on and I quickly get my own answer.
    At least I understand the recovery window scenario better.
    Thanks very much for the help and I'll see you the next time.
    Have a great day!

  • Step by Step RMAN configuration for full hot backup daily

    Dear experts,

    i have oracle e-business suite (R12.1.1) and database is ( 11.1.0.7) on red hat enterprise linux 5.3 . All of this is 64 bit.
    i have a database about 175 gb which is as usual growing day by day as data entry is taking place.
    Untill now we have a cold backup strategy in the midnight 3 am a script down the database and make abc.tar.gz file of 25 gb approx. . This process takes about 100 minutes. But now due to new sales system we want our database up 24/7 .
    So we want to configure RMAN hot backup.
    I want to take backup on disk.
    daily full hot backup.
    backupsets
    currently database is in no-archivelog
    plz help me to proceed with this .

    and then i have taken backup as:

    then when I check the destination of backup set i didn't see them on the configued one which is :

    You should place the archivelogs either on the shared storage or the archive logs of all instances at all the nodes.
    Actually the concept is, in case of recovery, RMAN should be able to look the archive logs from all the instances.

  • RMAN configuration in ORACLE RAC database

    Hi there,
    We are using RMAN backup strategy for taking backups from one node(eg.node1).Database is RAC database, version 9.2.3. and OS is Solaris 5.10.
    this is the configuration which we use, as follows:
    Connecting to Prod.Database using catalog database.
    rman catalog=rman/rman@CATDB target=sys/oracle@PRODDB(node 2).
    RMAN> show all;
    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 30;
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/rmanback/_%F';
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 5;
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/rmanback/CMWPROD_%s.bak';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK CONNECT 'SYS/oracle@PRODDB(node2)';
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO 7 G;
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/9.2.3/dbs/snapcf_CMWPROD1.f';
    As the above config shows RMAN is connecting to PROD DB (node 2). But we need to take backups (datafiles and as well as archive logs) from two nodes (i.e from node 1 and as well as node 2).
    Is there any possibility for taking backups from two nodes?
    Thanks,
    Balu.

    You will need to setup an NFS share such that both nodes can access each other's archived redo logs area. You also need to ensure your LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter settings are properly set. Once setup correctly, either node will be able to run the backup and include each other's archived redo log files. Since this is RAC, the data files are shared by design and either node can already backup these files.
    Multiple channels would allow 'simultaneous' backup of the archived redo logs.
    I would highly recommend using a CFS (single shared file system where all nodes store their archived redo logs distinguished by thread) to store the archived redo logs, this reduces administration and configuration especially when you get ready to scale.
    Hope this helps.

  • Imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file

    Hi ,
    I have an imac ( ilamp) 20' connected to ADSL, via Netopia Router which is connected to the Airport extreme connected to imac, for the PB Aluminum Tiger 10.4.5. we both can connect. PB can print via imac/printer.
    The imac is no longer able to open the Configuration file, when i enter the pswd which is correct, i get the message "The Airport Admin. Utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station an error occurred while reading the configuration "
    My Beau updated Airport to V5.7, this is the first time since the update I've tried to access the conf. file for the imac which i have done numerous times prior.
    I have a new base station Ip address 254.128.0 in Airport Utility Admin, on the imac which does not reflect my network settings anywhere, and is not what it use to be, i think, it was one value different than the PB.Base station IP. I do not know how it changed neither one of us changed it.
    I tried using the Airport Setup assistant (imac), I received this message:
    "Appropriate Airport hardware was bot found on this computer,if you recently
    Installed, an Airport card,please shut down your computer$ make sure the card is properly istalled."
    The imac does not have a card, nor do i think it needs one.
    I would like to be able to at least open the configuration file.
    Thank you for reading my post.

    Hi Kes, a star for the company !
    I made an error on my first post I have a Netopia modem, Airport router.
    And so it remains, i guess that there must be an easy answer somewhere
    that I am missing that I/we should read, some direction to that would be helpful, and I would be very appreciative.
    As I said the password had been set, and it is not an issue of that being forgotten, i wondered if it was changed back to "public" tried, not it.
    particular because everytime the imac wakes one of the folders on ( no one else in office just me and boyfriend and it is his work folder he has a copy on the PB.( the folder on desk top has been clicked on, the one with sensitve info, i have backed the folder up and secure trashed it, just in case some security issue hacking has taken place, thats closing the barn door after the fact.
    Good luck,w/ this Q.
    regards Eme

    Hi Ychinnari,
    According to your description, you found error in log file of reporting services, when you come to rsreportserver.config file, the DSN tag is empty.
    DSN specify the database server that hosts the report server database connection string.  The report server database is created, this value will be encrypted and added to the configuration file. To solve the problem, we need to connect to either an
    existing report server database or create a new one for this instance. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    Start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and connect to the report server instance for which you are creating the database.
    On the Database page, click Change Database.
    We can create a new report server database or select an existing database, then click Next.
    Connect to the instance of the Database Engine that you will use to create and host the report server database.
    Specify properties used to create the database.
    Specify the credentials used by the report server to connect to the report server database.
    Review the information on the Summary page to verify the settings are correct, and then click Next.
    Verify the connection by clicking a URL on the Report Server URL page or Report Manager URL page.

  • Configure File Type Associations dosen't work for users

    Hi EB,
    Does anyones knows how to set the File Type Associations for users ? It works for me when i'm logged in as Admin but not as a user. When logged as user it always ask to configure the file associations when i open JDev and even with JDev open it does not set it. I tried to find an article about that but couldn't find any.
    I'm using :
    winXP SP3
    JDeveloper 11g TP4
    and i've sets all rights for autentified users on the folders and subfolders of JDeveloper.
    Thanks

    I tried going on tool>preferences>File Type .... and associate projets and source and applications files with JDev check marking "open with JDev"... it didn't worked as user... it's just not saving my settings while reopening it it's never saved... at least i've been able to associate it in my Admin account then i can go back in user account and select open file with in windows, choose JDev and check mark "always open that file with that program" only after that the association is saved in JDev... but still it open the Configuration file windows at startup with the ones i already opened with JDev checked... anyway that's not a big issue ... only that i can't save those settings by the JDev environement while logged in as a user...

    I'm using a relative path to my .pfx file for both the transportServerCredential and licenseServerCredential in the flashaccess-tenant.xml and my password has been scrambled using the Scrambler.bat.
    Also, when I verify setup using http://<LicenseServer>:8080/flashaccessserver/flashaccess/license/v2 I get the message 'License server is setup correctly.'
    Any ideas of why the Validator.bat can't read the configuration file?

    I agree with you that if I can successfully playback content the license serve is setup successfully. Here is what I've tried and how I've set things up:
    I have my license server setup (its the Protected Streaming version).
    I'm using Adobe Media Server as my content/packaging server. I successfully served Vanilla PHLS sample streams to the sample Adobe Access player on iOS devices.
    I have configured the Adobe Media Server to point to the license server and certificates as per the documenation and this Adobe Dev article (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobe-media-server/articles/content-protection-using-phds-phls .html). Since I am using a trial version of Adobe Access my .der files are the same for transport and packaging.
    I am using the local key mode to remove one more variable (I have setup a remote key server as well).
    I have placed a copy of the 'vod-policy.pol' policy file from the reference license server resources directory in my Adobe Media Server 'creds' directory and used the relative path '..creds/vod-policy.pol' in the httpd.conf file.
    When I attempt to load the sample stream http://<mymediaserver>/hls-vod/sample2_1000kbps.f4v.m3u8 using the Adobe Access sample player on my iOS device I receive the following errors in the player:
    DRM error Major[3363] minor:[0] NSError:(null)]
    From my knowledge of working with the Adobe Access Objective C library to create a PhoneGap plugin it appears that a decrypted playlist is not being returned by the Adobe Media Server. Additionally, I can find no information in the Adobe Media Server or Adobe Access logs that pertain to my setup.
    I would love to have someone from Adobe speak to the problems I am having. I find the documentation to be hit and miss and most of my successful results during this proofing process have been from piecing together disparate pieces of information and trial and error. Information on using the Adobe Media Server with Adobe Access is limited to one Devnet article (above) and the help in Adobe Media Server that doesn't explain pathing to the license server or Java policy files in any detail.
    Colour me frustrated

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.
    Ciao.

  • Reading Encrypted Password from Configuration File and Decrypt it at login

    Hi All,
    My application reads a configuration file to connect to the ORACLE database. The values defined for password are clear text as given below:
    user: 'mh'
    password='abcd1234'
    Is there is any way I can give an encrypted password in the configuration file instead of a clear text file and at the time of login ORACLE decrypts it. I am using ORACLE 11g Database.
    My company have a requirement that passwords are not stored in the clear in properties files. the reason being I suppose that if the password is stored in plaintext someone could hit the property file directly, get the password and then connect to the database with it.
    For a regular user connecting through an Oracle client or SQL Developer they would need to have the plaintext password in order to connect.
    its based on the requirements of
    International Standards Organization Guidance
    ISO 17799 � 9.5.4 requires password management systems to:
    � enforce the use of individual passwords
    � allow users to select and change their own passwords if appropriate
    � enforce a choice of quality passwords
    � force regular changes of passwords
    � maintain a record of previous user passwords to prevent re-use
    � not display passwords when they are being entered
    � store password files separately from application system data
    � store passwords in encrypted form using a one way encryption algorithm
    � alter default vendor passwords following installation of software
    So if I can store the password encrypted using a one way algorithm then hacker/user couldn't decrypt it and then access the database.
    I have feeling there is a way of configuring this in Oracle advanced Security, but just can't quite get it to work.
    Edited by: user5568473 on 20-May-2013 00:05

    So if I can store the password encrypted using a one way algorithm then hacker/user couldn't decrypt it and then access the database.... and neither can your application. Encryption is needed in this case. The decryption must be written into your application. I've written my own in some cases, but finding a library for your development language is a smarter solution.
    One alternative is using an Oracle wallet. It doesn't fit every circumstance and does have some maintenance headaches.
    You can set up a basic secure password store to encrypt and store the password for a given user@instance combination, and then connect to the database without passing a password. SQL*Net adds in the appropriate password from the wallet for when you connect.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/security/twp-db-security-secure-ext-pwd-stor-133399.pdf
    Advanced Security Option also allows you to set up a Public Key Infrastructure connections (SSL encryption and/or authentication). It also uses a wallet to store the SSL certificates and credentials. I don't have personal experience on this approach.
    SSL and the wallet allow you to connect to the database similar to CONNECT/@net_service_name or sqlplus /@net_service_namehttp://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28530/asossl.htm#CIHCBIEG

  • How to create a configuration file for open ldap.

    hi,
    I have installed open ldap on my machine. Now I want to configure it to NetWeaver.
    For this, I started configuration through configtool utility of NetWeaver. While configuring, we need to select or upload configuration file. But now as it is open ldap we need to write our own config file.
    I tried it by selecting dataSourceConfiguration_ads_deep_readonly_db.xml  as a configuratio file. it shows successful test connection but the user which  I have created is not appearing in UME store.
    Does any body having solution for this?
    I am trying to solve this problem from two days. I really appriciate one who will sove this problem

    Well the configuration file you chose does not allow users created in NetWeaver to be created in the LDAP.  That's why it's a "readonly" configuration.  I would guess that you need a custom configuration file specifically for open ldap.
    This should help get you started on a custom configuration file:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    Then again, if the only problem with the .XML file you chose is that you can't write to the LDAP, give the dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml configuration file a shot.
