RMAN retores archivelog to dbs location

While i test my RMAN backup in test server, I found archive log always restore to oracle_home/dbs location .rather than actual location.
I copy the whole rman bacnk to my test server from production to test..which is same folder structure. When i put the backup in exact location and set dbid and restore controlfile. And then restore datafile and start recover them ,And the problem start at this point .Archive log should restore to the same location that in production. But it restores to oracle_home/dbs. Where is the mistake that i have done??

Post the output of
log_archive_dest_1   ------ > assuming your db version > 10.1from your source DB.
Please provide the version
I know your question is about restore. Just want to let you know ; if you execute
rman > backup database;without specifying backup location using FORMAT parameter, then your backup files will end up in ORACLE_HOME/dbs

  • Rman not reading archivelogs from all locations

    Hello,
    My physical standby database has two archivelog locations inside ASMFLASH. One of the location is ASMFLASH/DB/ARCHIVELOG/ where the local archivelogs of the standby database get stored. Other one is ASMFLASH/DB/archstd/ where the archivelogs are stored after getting shipped from the primary database.
    I want to do maintenance task by deleting the old archivelog files. But when i connect to RMAN, it lists out archivelogs of only one location:
    RMAN> list archivelog all;

    is it possible to backup the archivelogs from different location as i moved them?
    Thanks.

    What choices i have for its deletion policy? I want to carry only 30 days archivelogs , How i can chnage that?

    Hello,
    These are the options.
    When backups of archived redo log files are taken on the standby database:
    1)Issue the following command on the primary database:
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
    2) Issue the following command on the standby database:
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE;

  • Archivelogs to different locations - only with Enterprise Edition?How to?

    Hello,
    while searching for an answer to 'how to store my archivelogs to different locations' I came across a post, that says, that this is only possible with enterprise edition? Is that true?
    In case it is not: How do I add to an online database a second or more targets? I tried it on a test database, but the new target was not accepted, the entry pointing to the FRA was deleted, and everythin stopped, of course. Is there a way to add a second target without shutting down the database? Could anyone please explain, I am afraid to crash our live database. But living without a second target makes me nervous...
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Chris

    Did you look at the documentation for 10g?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_transport.htm#i1265402
    This was only for remote db site but there is more in the book.
    5.2.2.1 Changing Destination Attributes
    You can dynamically update most of the attribute values of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n and the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameters using the ALTER SYSTEM SET statement.
    The modifications take effect after the next log switch on the primary database. For example, to defer redo transport services from transmitting redo data to the remote standby database named boston, issue the following statements on the primary database:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=boston
    2> VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=DEFER;
    Read and have fun.
    I think the point you missed is that you got to set the state of the destination as well.

  • RMAN backup of multiple dbs

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding RMAN.
    I have 2 DBs in 2 different servers and I do a daily backup of the DBs with RMAN (no catalog, just the rman script) The two DBs are connected through an application that writes on both DBs common and connected data for the applicazion it self, so if one db stops and the other keeps working the data i will find on my application will become inconsistens (or at least I will have differences between the dbs).
    Is there a way to create a single RMAN script that does a backup of archive logs and db of the two DBs simultaniously so that I am 100% sure that the data is taken exactly at the same moment, and I don't have to worry about having discrepancies between the two dbs in case of a restore procedure? because if one db needs restore I will need to restore BOTH dbs to have the application up and running correctly!
    (hope I explaied it well enough)
    I have Oracle 10.2.0.4 EE on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
    Thank you all!

    Hi,
    I think you must use data guard configuration.
    In data guard configuration databases will be primary  and standby database and transport service (SYNC or ASYNC) is send all archived logs to standby
    and apply service will apply all received redo logs  to standby.
    When primary database i failed, then you can convert standby  to  new primary. 
    If you  will use SYNC transport then you sure you data loss is equal to zero.

  • RMAN Validate backup from a location

    Hi All,
    I need to validate a set of RMAN backup files that I took to a disk say /ora_tmp.
    Do I need to catalogue those files to validate or I can validate the files connecting to the target and provide a location to validate the backups.
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Chilakamarthi.

    You can use the BACKUP VALIDATE command to do the following:
    Check datafiles for physical and logical block corruption
    Confirm that all database files exist and are in the correct locations
    When you run BACKUP VALIDATE, RMAN reads the files to be backed up in their entirety, as it would during a real backup. RMAN does not, however, actually produce any backup sets or image copies.
    To validate files with the BACKUP VALIDATE command:
    Start RMAN and connect to a target database and recovery catalog (if used).
    Run the BACKUP VALIDATE command.
    For example, you can validate that all database files and archived logs can be backed up by running a command as shown in the following example. This command checks for physical corruptions only.
    BACKUP VALIDATE
    DATABASE
    ARCHIVELOG ALL;
    To check for logical corruptions in addition to physical corruptions, run the following variation of the preceding command:
    BACKUP VALIDATE
    CHECK LOGICAL
    DATABASE
    ARCHIVELOG ALL;
    Hope this will help you

  • RMAN backup to 3 different locations

    Hi,
    I'm trying to backup my database to 3 different locations. If one location is unavailiable backup fails. Is there a possibility to make backup to other 2 locations when one is unavailiable? For example second location from following code is unavailiable. Here is my code:
    RUN
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/location1/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location2/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location3/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p';
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
    BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG SKIP INACCESSIBLE;
    }

    Hello again;
    I was able to find an example of your other question :
    If you specify a nonexistent directory, RMAN displays output such as the following:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

    So it really looks like it errors, ORA-19504 appears to be the key.
    Unable to find any Oracle note regarding skip. Interesting question.

  • Howto: RMAN catalog backupset in different location

    Hi,
    How can I tell RMAN catalog that the location of backup set has changed.
    For example: after my RMAN backup all my backup pieces went to C:\first_location\
    directory. I am using a catalog while running backup.
    Now I moved the backup pieces to D:\new_location\ directory. Say C:\first_location\ directory is no longer for some reason. How do I tell my catalog that the backup pieces about the new location D:\new_location\
    Catalog, Rman, database all in 10.2 version.
    thank you in advance

    Thank you for your response to my question.
    Can someone help me with syntax and usage of new location of backup pieces in a backup set to be reflected in my catalog. Catalog, target and rman all 10g version.
    thanks in advance

  • RMAN and archivelogs

    Hi All,
    We are about to implement RMAN instead of brarchive/brbackup. For us the major disadvantage of using RMAN is the way it handles deletion of the archivelogs after backing them up to our TSM storage manager.
    When using brarchive a single archivelog is deleted from the archivelog filesystem once it has been backed up to TSM, in this way freeing up space in the archivelog filesystem. When using RMAN the backed up archive logs are only deleted when the complete bunch of "to be backed up archive logs" are actually backed up to TSM. This would mean that if the archive log filesystem fills up (e.g. due to problems with our storage manager or heavy archivelog creation) the space in the filesystem is only freed after the complete RMAN cycle has finished. The database would be hanging untill that time. When using brarchive a single archive log will be deleted once it has been backed up, thereby creating free space in the filesystem immediately and the database to be running normally again.
    In order to keep our systems running when the oraarch filesystem is filled up and RMAN is running we can increase the size of the filesystem untill the RMAN cycle has finished and the archivelogs are subsequently deleted. However we are wondering if there is any other way in which we can make sure that the system keeps running. E.g. is it possible to use an 'overflow archivelog filesystem" to which oracle switches once the initial archivelog filesystem fills up? Or any other method?
    What's best practice for this?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Bart Groot

    Hello Bart,
    i am sorry, but in your previous post you said that you want to "implement RMAN instead of brarchive/brbackup".
    Now you are talking about the init<SID>.sap file again.
    If you use native RMAN you have some backup scripts (for full backup, archive log backup, etc.)  in which you can specify the FILESPERSET clause. If you still want to use the BR*Tools with RMAN (which uses the init<SID>.sap file) you can specify the FILESPERSET clause globally .. so it is used for archive log files and full backups, etc.
    But as i already mentioned that should be no problem, because of in huge environments not all files should be in one backupset.

  • RMAN change archivelog all crosscheck

    Hi DBA's
    I want to implement RMAN backup on a prod db for the first time. tha DB was running for more than 2 years and generated seveal archive logs. the previous dba was just taking a cold backup and move the archive logs to somwhere else.
    i want to know if i issu the command "change archivelog all crosscheck" how long it will takes and how far it will go back to check the archive logs.
    is it going to crosscheck from SCN 1 to current which is 189234 or just checks the necessary SCN numbers ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Checks whether the specified backups and copies exist. If RMAN cannot find backup pieces, it marks them as having the status expired. It marks all other types of absent files--image copies and archived redo logs--as deleted.
    If the files are on disk, RMAN queries the file headers. For other device types, RMAN queries the media manager to see whether the file exists in the media management catalog.
    Note: RMAN considers archived redo logs as copies, so issue the change archivelog all crosscheck command if one or more logs become unavailable. If the archived logs become unavailable again, you must issue catalog archivelog to re-catalog them.
    Note: If you crosscheck a control file copy, specify a filename rather than a primary key.

  • Rman delete archivelog until time 2hrs

    guys,
    I want to use this inside rman.
    rman{
    RUN{
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch01 TYPE DISK FORMAT 'blah lah';
    BACKUP
    ARCHIVELOG ALL
    DELETE archivelog until time "older than 2 hrs ago" backed up 1 times to device type sbt; ;
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch01;
    how do i translate this "older than 2 hrs ago" to RMAN language
    Edited by: user2579172 on Mar 29, 2010 1:19 PM

    this served my purpose :
    DELETE archivelog until time "sysdate-1/30" backed up 1 times to device type disk ;
    but
    rman is prompting whether to delete the archivelogs or not
    ex:
    List of Archived Log Copies
    Key Thrd Seq S Low Time Name
    4303374 1 11623
    Do you really want to delete the above objects (enter YES or NO)?
    Error occurred getting response - assuming NO response
    released channel: ch01

    HOW i heck I tell RMAN inside the run {   to delete the archive logs without prompting me for YES OR NO
