RMAN duplicate db Standard Edition

As many of you know, Oracle Standard Edition license allows only one channel for RMAN. Given this restriction, is it still possible to perform database duplication using RMAN? I read that you need at least an auxiliary channel. Please comment...

yes you need to auto allocate or manual allocate the channel at least one channel is must required for RMAN to work
rest out gurus will put light on it

RMAN backup with Standard Edition

I want to backup Oracle RAC database using RMAN.I am using Standard Edition so flashback database option is not available and many RMAN related features are also not available.I have set flash recovery area of 30 GB.
Now please tell me commands to take full backup and incremental backup.
I was able to backup using format clause.
Backup database format '+rac_dg2/dbbackup/dbf_%p'
tag 'DB_full_backup' ;
but in this command I have to specify format clause otherwise backup was stored at $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
Now I want to take incemental backup

RMAN Backup Standard Edition

Hey, I have 2 node rac on 10.2.0.4.0 with Standard Edition. (SLES10)
No rman catalog is used.
I like to perform a daily level 0 backup of my database by running this:
BACKUP incremental level 0 format '/backup/%d_LVL0_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' database
PLUS ARCHIVELOG format '/backup/%d_AL_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' delete input;
How could I restore this backup on a different node, hence duplicate db is not available on standard edition?
Do I need to create a rac instance on a kind of a standby system ? (say 2 virtual machines waiting for the disaster case)
What about tnsnames,listener, etc....
Christian

Hi Christian,
if you can read German, than this may help you/give you an idea:
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/dbadmin/tipps/RMAN_II_Restore/index.html
=> So simply copy all your backup to the new machine
=> You don't need RAC on the second machine. In this case you have to make some changes to the spfile (after you restored it).
=> All files external to the datbase have to be maintained manually (listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, passwordfile etc.)

Yes, this is it.

Unusual RMAN RESTORE behavior 11.1 standard edition.

Doing an 11.1 standard edition restore of a database from source A to Source B (2 different windows servers). Backup is an old backup and RMAN just seats there and nothing comes back with errors. I don't believe its doing anything. Alert log shows a lot of "ORA-12751: cpu time or run time policy violation" and a tracefile has a lot of indication that the source was an ASM file system(this should be ok as it doesnt change the conversion till the end of my script where i tell it to "switch datafile all" (My script is also below). Not sure what the issue is. Find the behavior very weird.Thanks.

Hi,
Check this Doc:MMON Suspended Due to ORA-12751 "cpu time or run time policy violation" (Doc ID 761298.1)
Its not reported for SE, but i believe Symptom like same during the RMAN restore. Check the Various load on server as compare to your DB and Server.

Manual Standby on Standard Edition

Hey, I try to setup a manual standby on standard edition 10gR2.
Source is a RAC database (standard edition on sles10 sp3)
I created a node and created a oracle instance on this node. This node is using the filesystem for the oracle files.
I did a hotbackup of the source database and copied all files over to the other host.
Which parameters needs to be change in the init.ora and how can I recover my database ?

Before After comparison in PSE 2.0 in standard edit mode

Just a simple question : How do I get to a before after comparison on-screen, at the same time, for editing ?. Quick Fix automatically provides this, but what about when you are not in Quick fix, but rather in standard edit (I think that's what it's called) mode ?. Thanks for your help.

John,
In PSE2 you can do Image>Duplicate Image, which will create a new file with "copy" appended to the name. Then position the 2 images side-by-side, activate the original and make your changes and you have the original (the copy) to compare against. When you are finished you probably just want to close the copy version without saving.

ASM Direct file access (for creating standby database in Standard Edition)

Hi all,
Just really looking for any opinions, experience etc. that people may have about this.
My company are looking to set up a RAC system. They have also asked me to think about creating a standby database for disaster recovery. The first problem they give me here is that they only pay for Standard Edition of Oracle, therefore Dataguard is not an option.
I know that one can setup "manual" standby databases with Standard Edition, automating the shipping of archive logs with hand-written scripts etc. However, as the primary here is RAC, and will be using ASM on the shared storage, I'm not sure that this would be possible (and I'm even less sure that it would be desirable!). I say this because I don't know of a way to access (using only the O/S and/or Oracle) the database files stored in ASM, and even if there was a way, I can't imagine it being a good idea..
Anybody know of a way to tackle it, or care to contribute anything to this? As I say, my opinion is that even if it is possible to get to those files within ASM and hence manipulate them, I'd be worried that it wouldn't be such a good idea. But I'm willing to bet I'm not the first to have thought about it...
Regards,
Ados
Edit 1:
Sorry, I should state that in principal, the basic environment is:
Windows 2003 Server
Oracle 10g R2
I didn't state that originally though, as I'd be keen to hear from anyone who may have attempted this on any O/S and Oracle version.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:32
Edit 2:
I also realise we could put the archive logs on the local nodes.. but to reinforce the point, I'm talking about having them on the shared storage where - in theory - the management is easier and more effective.
Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:35

For anyone interested..
I guess it would be done using RMAN (in fact, I'm sure of it...) in which case, I feel a lot more comfortable doing it!!
For example:
backup as copy archivelog ALL to destination 'c:\temp\';
This way, it shouldn't matter if the arch logs are stored using ASM, we can now get them and "see" them.. and hence "manipulate" them (pass them on to a standby DB, for example).
I'm just waiting to get my hands on a Standard Edition installation where I can test all this.. To try it all out (with 2-node RAC, and a standby server) I don't think I'll get a chance, so still interested in opinions, or if anyone's actually done this.
Regards,
Ados

Why do we need a connection to the Source DB for RMAN DUPLICATE ?

Version Info: 11.2.0.3/RHEL 5.8
We want to clone a Production DB to a test DB.
Prod DB size: 100gb
We are going to take an RMAN full backup (Hot Backup which includes Archivelogs ) and scp the backup pieces to the Test DB server.
In the Test server , we will be running RMAN DUPLICATE command after connecting like below
rman target sys/passwd@SID_OF_SOURCE_DB auxiliary /We have everything we need in test server to do the cloning ie. all the RMAN Backup pieces. Then why does RMAN connect to the source DB ?

from [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta020.htm] here
Backup-based duplication without a target connection
RMAN creates duplicate files from pre-existing RMAN backups and copies. The DUPLICATE command must have been issued with the DATABASE clause. This form requires a connection to an auxiliary instance and a recovery catalog.
This mode is useful when the target database is not available or a connection to it is not desirable (as mandated by security policy restrictions or a firewall).
Backup-based duplication without connection to target and recovery catalog
RMAN creates duplicate files from RMAN backups and copies that were placed in a designated BACKUP LOCATION.http://dbaregistry.blogspot.com/2011/04/rman-duplicate-without-connecting-to.html

Primavera with Oracel 11g standard edition ( Connecting multiple databases)

I have installed primavera 8.2 with Oracle 11g standard edition. ( After lots of trial and errors )
I installed / Created two databases using primavera dbsetup.bat file for creating new database.
Data base names are PMDB and PMDB2
Currently i am using PMDB with oracle connection string as "ORCL" and database aliase as PMDB and its working fine
"C:\app\xxxxx\oradata\orcl" this location contains both databases physically
I seek your advice how to modify string to access other database ( PMDB1)
because if i have tried with different aliase name but it connect to same database ie PMDB

Is this P6 EPPM 8.2 or P6 PPM? Are you using P6 client or web to connect to it?
If this is P6EPPM then you can log into P6 Administrator and expand database node, create a duplicate node of it and change the database connection parameters. Save it and try to login using P6 Web. Select the correct database from Advance link below Username/Password.
If this is P6 PPM then define tns entries on your machine for both the databases ans use them to configure P6 client.

RMAN duplicate failed

Hi all,
have below doubts.
IF RMAN duplicate failed in the middle of the process due to disk full or any other reason.
Do I start from the beginning again or is there anyway to sort of "resume" from where it stopped?
Please consider what need to do in 9i or in 10G.
Please also reply what need to do for FS or for ASM.
Please also share if you have any doc or link.

Hi,
IF RMAN duplicate failed in the middle of the process due to disk full or any other reason.See always perform fresh duplicate.
it will overwrite the existing files... so you need to check in alert log file like how many files restored & recovered during duplicate..

Sybrand Bakker

What it automatically skips?
1)did RMAN duplicate knows about earlier restores...
2)if i restored system,sysaux,users,undo datafiles of another database and again I'm performing another database in same location.. so it will skip?
are you sure...

2. When accessing tables like dba_users, dba_objects, i.e. v$ things, it runs fast. When accessing tables like sys.aud$, schema_name.some_table_name, it just keeps running.

Resume a rman duplicate on asm

Hi folks,
ASM, 11gr2
My duplicate job failed after about 20 hours due to a tcp/ip failure to our tsm server.
I read in the oracle documentation that it is possible to resume the job.
So I did as described in the documentation and the duplicate was resumed.
RMAN said "Using previous duplicated file...." for all the files allready restored, and it should only restore the remaining files. About 200Gb.
But after 5 hours and 350Gb (tsm shows this amount) it is still not finished.
I am duplicating from asm to asm.
Why is this happening??
Is it because I am on ASM fs? The oracle doc said nothing about resume would not work on asm.
Thanks!

Hello,
This is half information, you are using ASM on production but what about Dev serve ASM or NON-ASMr? What's your Oracle version? Prod? Dev?
Stepwise instructions
