Scheduled backups on oem disappear after hardware crash

I am using OEM12c 12.1.0.3 to manage 12 databases (11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4) on several suse11 linux machines.
We schedule the backups thru oem (availability->backup&recovery->schedule backups)
Last friday the hardware crashed, and once we got everything backup and running we noticed all of the scheduled backups
were missing and we had to reschedule everything. Has anyone seen this behavior before or know how to prevent the schedules from disappearing,.
It's a pain to have to reschedule everything.

What had to be restored? OMS/Repository? Or target databases?
If you look in EM at Enterprise -> Jobs -> Job Activity, be sure to go to advanced search, look for all Scheduled and see if they're there?
If they were a group backup, might be scheduled as a Deployment Procedure instead.

IPhoto Library 'disappeared' after Yosemite crash and iPhoto upgrade

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and have been using iPhoto fine since then (although it is a bit slow), yesterday iPhoto crashed the computer, after several restarts the computer was ok, but iPhoto wouldn't load and then said it needed to be upgraded - So I did this and when I opened this again it crashed then said that it needed to upgrade the library and then it crashed (iPhoto) when I restarted it started with no library and would appear to have overwritten the iPhoto (default) library, I have checked this and although there are other libraries, I am aware of these and these are not my missing library. I found some information on http://www.scanyourentirelife.com/all-my-pictures-in-iphoto-disappeared-how-to-s afely-get-them-back/ and this talks about looking in the 'Masters' file but to be very careful as altering this will cause problems with edits etc. Anyway I found that in my directory a file called 'Old Masters' as well as 'Masters' and it would appear that all of my pictures are now in 'Old Masters'.
So I am opening the right file but how do I make the 'Old Masters' the 'Masters' - is it as easy as shifting the files or changing the name on the file?
Tech Stuff - My iMac is running 10.10 Yosemite and is about 1 year old 27" version and I keep everything up to date (for my sins) - My library 700+ events and is about 176gb in size
Your help would be appreciated

Armelle,
there is unfortunately not yet any known way to repair an iPhoto Library, that got corrupted during the upgrade by a crash.
You can either restore your iPhoto library from the last backup you made before you tried to upgrade the library, and then try to upgrade again.
Or if your last backup cannot be restored or is too old, copy all photos you can find in the iPhoto Library package and import them into a new iPhoto Library.
but I can see my picture in "old Thumbnails".
The "Old Thumbnails" are only smaller sized versions of your photos. Don't you at least have "Old Originals" or "Old Modified"?

Scheduled Backups on OEM

I suspect this is a silly question, but, I've always done backups using scripts from the OS. I recently set up one using OEM and it worked. I have two questions:
1. Is there a backup schedule page that shows the next time it will run?
2. How do I delete this backup job if I should choose to use OS scripts?
Thanks,
John

1.<< Is there a backup schedule page that shows the next time it will run? >>
--Log into the Grid control
--Click on the Jobs tab on the top right hand side
--select the Job activity subtab on the Jobs home page.
-- select the status value to "Active" and hit the Go button .. It should list all the
backup jobs which are running currently and the ones which are scheduled.
2. How do I delete this backup job if I should choose to use OS scripts?
-- Under the Job activity page, select the job you want to stop/delete and hit the
stop/delete button based on what you want to do.

The data fields in a filled-out PDF form disappeared after a crash. Is there any way to restore the lost entries?

Adobe Reader crashed while I had a filled-out Adobe PDF form open. When I reopened the file, I found that all of the data that had been entered into the form fields had disappeared. Is there any way to restore the data that is missing?
I note that the "Restore" command in the Adobe Reader file menu is not available (grayed out).
Thanks for your time.

Project file disappears after iMovie crashes. Can I recover the file?

Working on an iMovie 9.0.9 project when the SBOD starts up and then the program crashes. I reopen iMovie but when I attempt to open the file it no longer shows up in the Project folder window. The file still appears in the iMovie Project folder on the external hard drive were it was stored, just not within the program. Attempts to recover the file from Time Capsule backup result in the file opening with no content. All attempts to open it from that folder result in nothing showing up. This is the second file I have lost in the last week. I've been working on this project for several days and have been able to open the file each time until the crash. Never had this problem before I updated iMovie in mid-May.
I'm running an iMac Early 2008, with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8.3. Using an Iomega USB 1.5 TB external HD for file storage and Seagate 3TB HD for Time Capsule.

If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image (Exact) then the image is untouched and present.
If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image the image is still present but has be "tweaked" by Acrobat so the image isn't the "original" (not "exact").
If you use Acrobat's ClearScan the original image is gone. Recognized characters are replaced with an Acrobat internal font. Characters not recognized are left as a bit-mapped image.
As the first two above still have the image you can use Acrobat XI to Save As Other and select a supported image file format.

My iphone photos disappeared after a crash

what can i do to get them back?

the funny thing is i found loads of people with this problem, and they where on vacations and lost they're vacations photos. without the mac, or wireless to backup, what is your solution? cause that's EXACTLY what happened to me. the phone should be good enough for you to not have to rely on every night, before going to bed, backing up. cause sometimes you just can't. so what's you're geek excuse now? is it normal for you to use your mac, it crashes, and then you loose all of those files from that day? are you seriously telling me that that's normal? that you wouldn't be curious/mad about it?. yeah right.

Scenes Disappeared After Flash Crash

Hello,
I am running CS5.5 on a Win7 64 bit computer with 6G of memory. My problem started today when after being kicked out of Flash (again :().
When I attempted to reopen my FLA, I received the message "Could not load scene into memory...". I did a bit of research and realized that the last couple of PSD files I imported must have an issue. I deleted these files from the library and it resolved the 'Could not load scene' message but when the FLA reopened, all my scenes had vanished...
I could reopen the FLA and view all the assets in my library (PSDs, FLVs, FXGs, etc.), however, my scenes window was empty except for the default Scene 7 that Flash created for me when opening the file.
I have (had) 5 scenes completed and was working on the sixth when the problem(s) started. I have tried many different 'solutions' I have found on the net attempting to get my scenes back without any success. Does anyone know a solution to recover my missing scenes? This presentation is for a large company coming in on Thursday morning. I have been working on this for two weeks. I am ready to cry and throw-up all at the same time if I can't figure something out.
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
Regards,
Gilley

If you have a compiled (swf) version of your old flas content you could try to reverse engineer it with a swfDecompiler like http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler/
Next time this happens don`t delete anything from the library manually, also switch to xfl which is a lot more stable than the outdated fla format.
Also: save your files incremental (_001.xfl,_002.xfl)

Bookmarked pages and custom toolbar disappear after firefox crash?

There is no way to restore pages and you have to manually re-drag all the buttons onto the toolbar!
It also seems that if the download window is open, the download time counter messes up your dragging, LOL! Like it updates the time and speed every second, and that resets the position of the item you are dragging, lol! (you wont be able to position the item in just 1 second).
AND - i also cant drag links from address bar to bookmark folders - it just wont "allow" them in... already tried a clean firefox install with folder deletions etc, but its still the same...
Something goes wrong during the import??
firefox version 4.0.1
windows xp, i7 cpu, 3gigs of ram etc...

For both part 1 and 2 of your problem, see

Backed up files partially disappear after restore (Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Server Backup)

Dear all,
I am experiencing a problem with "Windows Server 2008 R2", using Windows Server Backup.
Here's my setup:
Server: RAID 5 Disk setup
Backup:
By using Windows Server Backup (within Windows Server 2008 R2), C: and D: were fully backed up, with "System State" and "Baremetal Recovery" options selected. Backup went okay without any errors.
Restore:
By using Windows Recovery Environment (booted from Windows Server DVD), C: and D: were fully restored to the original partitions with "System Recovery" option found within Windows RE (without re-formatting partitions during restore). Restore
went OK without any errors. Rebooted, and system has been running fine.
Problem:
After the restore, the system itself seems running OK; no BSOD, no crash, no visible errors.
However, our client insisted some files (around 6 to 7) which are related to the propriety software has "disappeared" right after System Recovery.
Question:
Since Windows Server Backup is using "Volume Shadow Copy" technology which enables "live backup" of the running system, is it possible that some files will disappear (=restore error) after
System Recovery?
I cannot really find any errors or warnings related to Windows Server Backup in the event log, through. No Windows-backup errors. No VSS errors, too.
Do anybody have experienced this kind of problem in the past? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, Ms. Mandy.
To make things clear, let me explain to you briefly:
1. The "missing data" was backed up with "full system backup".
2. After a system restore from the above backup image, as you mentioned, partitions has been overwritten with the partions' backup data in the Backup Data Set taken by Windows Server Backup. No error with backup. No error after restore, and reboot - system
has been running fine.
3. Although there was a report that the affected files(about 7 java exectables) were missing after the above restore operation, other aspect of system was running fine at the time of the report.
4. I have checked the original backup data set - and voila, there ARE files which seems to gone after restore.
5. When I used Windows Server Backup "on" Windows Server 2008 R2 normal environment (= NOT Recovery environment from DVD) and selectd ONLY these affected files to restore, these files could be RESTORED successfully, without any errors. SO... data
was property backed up.
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions so files created after the backup point will be missing.
I understand, and this is not the case this time, because the affected files are already present in the backup data set (= I have mounted the backup data as VHD, and I could clearly see them present in the mounted VHD file)
Plus, these files are completely restoreable via "selective file restore" in Windows Server Backup.
Things I want to know/confirm:
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions
If I understand this correctly, in case that the files in question are already present in the backup data set, these files SHOULD be restored after full system restore, right? (If these files could not be restored, Windows Server Backup SHOULD show some errors.)
What do you think, Ms. Mandy? :)

Anyone using OEM for scheduling backups?

I'd like to see a poll for the number of users using OEM for taking database backups. Had some interesting conversations with some colleagues via social media and it seems like some DBAs don't trust OEM for their backups even though the feature works IMO.
Are you using OEM to do backups?
Edited by: DBA on May 3, 2012 1:02 PM

I have 91 scheduled recurring backup jobs running through OEM 12c BP1. They work quite well. I've only noticed a few problems and nitpicks:
1) Occasionally, for unknown reasons, a backup job against a newly-added database target will fail stating that the backup cannot be run since the database is closed. The database is not closed, it's up and running fine. Changing the backup job to run using SYS as SYSDBA credentials resolves this problem.
2) Identification of failed backups is not as customizable as I would like. For example, if I have a full "backup database plus archivelog" running, and during the course of that backup an archivelog backup runs and deletes archived logs, OEM will report that the backup job has failed since RMAN throws an error about not being able to backup an archivelog it expected to find. I dealt with this by adding SKIP INACCESSIBLE to the backup statement. I'm not totally comfortable about that but I monitor for offline datafiles so I consider this only a minimal risk. Our custom backup scripts used to catch this warning and ignore it.
3) It's really annoying that, after creating a backup job through the target Availability -> Schedule Backup tool, I cannot then run a 'Create Like' against that backup job to create a nearly identical one against a different database target. You have to schedule each of them from the Schedule Backup tool. Clicky clicky clicky clicky.
4) A backup job created through the 'Schedule Backup' tool has a job type of 'Database Backup', therefore when the job fails a high-availability incident is created, so you can configure incident rules to receive notification of this event. This is good. Unfortunately a backup job created from the Jobs page has a job type of 'RMAN Script' does NOT create an incident on job failure out of the box. I've had difficulty configuring incident rules to catch failures for RMAN Script job types. This is not good.
5) The repeating schedule options for jobs are limited compared even to something like cron. I can schedule a job for a day of the week, or a day of the month, but cannot easily schedule a job for "the first Tuesday of each month". This can be worked around.
6) After creating and submitting a backup job through the Schedule Backup tool, you cannot edit the RMAN script without recreating the job. You can only edit the RMAN script before submitting the job. I deal with this by having my backups run stored scripts in the recovery catalog, and make the changes there if I need to change something.
7) It is very annoying that if I 'stop' a repeating job (instead of suspend), there is no way to resume that job. It has to be recreated. This is my own user error -- I just don't click the stop button. Not OEM's fault but I'd rather not even have that button.
8) No ability to sequence jobs. You can sequence steps within a job, but then the entire job succeeds or fails as a unit. If you want to back up database A then immediately back up database B afterwards, you have to create a multi-task job. The multi-task job has the same problem as item #4 above such that it does not create a "backup failed" incident when the backup fails.
Even with all of these gripes, I am quite pleased with the backups I have running through OEM.

What is wrong? I scheduled backup job before on this server and it worked.

This may be due to that the schedule frequecy is not set. Make sure Frequency Type and Repeat Every boxes get filled properly.

Schedule Hot backup via OEM

Hello all,
We have a realtively small system running Oracle 10G on Windows 2003 O/S. I've scheduled a full offiline (cold) backup of the whole db to run once weekly via OEM. Every night we run a script to do a 'logical' backup by EXPORTing the 2 main schemas in the DB out to .DMP files. However this now may not be enough to satisfy DB recovery requirements.
Is there an easy way to schedule a 'Hot' backup via OEM, that could replace the EXPORT scripts mentioned above, or would we have to write an RMAN script to do this ?? The requirement is really to allow the database to be updateable whilst any daily backup is running. I realise that the DB needs to be in ARCHIVELOG mode for anything like this to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun.

hi,
on the OEM main page, click on targets, you should see your databse there. click on the database and then on the maintenance tab.
from here you can schedule jobs and you have the option to schedule a online rman backup of your database. However, to do an online backup your database needs to have archiving turned on. Is this the case as you currently carry out offline backups which might indicate that archiving is turned off.
regards
Alan

All but 1 theme per group disappeared after Premiere Elements 4.0 crashed on start of burn to DVD

I have a project that is approximately 1 hour in length. This is the first project I am attempting to burn. I assigned a theme to the project and then proceeded to burn a DVD. Before the burn could actually start, PE crashed with a "blue screen" dump. I rebooted in Windows safe mode, then rebooted back into normal Windows mode. When I started PE and opened the project, nearly all of the themes were missing! It appears that only one theme per group remained.
What would have removed or hid the themes? I would have also expected all or none of the themes, rather than leaving just one per group. I was using a template in the "General" group, but the one that remained after the crash is not the one I had assigned to my project.
Does a reinstall restore the templates? If so, can I reinstall PE 4.0 from my CD without erasing, distroying, or losing the current projects I have created?
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Hunt,
Before diving into the details of the items in the article, I did a few of the basic things:
stopped my anti-virus product (doh!)
stopped the temperature monitor software (doh!)
did a quick disk cleanup
turned off all trivial stuff in msconfig
I rebooted the system and started Premiere Elements. I had not attempted to reload the templates at that point, so I proceeded to "Burn to DVD". I selected the minimal quality and started the burn. That worked! Next I exited PE and restarted it and then was able to successfully "Burn to DVD" using the max setting for quality. As expected, it took a while to finish, but it also completed successfully! The resulting DVD looks and sounds great, so the rendering and burn phases seem to be working fine on my hardware.
I noticed on the CD that there is an option to load the themes, so I am going to try loading that today. I'll post more comments after I get the themes reloaded in case there are other steps involved in restoring those within the program.

Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change

Hello. To get right to the chase, I have this envy 15 series laptop. It came with a 768GB hdd, which I upgraded to an SSD (512GB one) Recently, I decided to downgrade the storage back to the original hdd the laptop came with. I was obviously expecting my system's performance to decrease, especially with boot times and what not, but I was also expecting the performance to be the same as what it was when I originally received my laptop, more or less. However, this has not been the case. The laptop's performance has greatly suffered after reinstalling the *originaly hdd this laptop came with* Issues: Boot up times are ridiculously slow now. I mean, so slow that I figure I should go downstairs and have a drink while I wait for it to boot slow. It was never even remotely this slow, before or after upgrading to my ssd. When the pc goes to sleep, it does not wake up. Perhaps it would wake up if I left it alone for a few hours, but I'm not willing to do that, and no one should be. I'm also speaking literally right now. I have to force my laptop off and then turn it on normally in order to boot back from "sleep" mode. I've since had to turn off automatic sleep. If I close the lid to let my laptop hybernate, it does not recover. When I turn it on, it looks like it will return from hypernate, but it does not. It turns itself off. When I turn it on again, it boots normally, but it does so as if I had shutdown the pc and then booted back up. It takes windows a long time to login, and get everything running so that the pc runs normal. None of this is normal. This pc has absolutely no excuse to be running this slow. It never has, and it only started after switching back to my hdd. What I did: I cloned my HDD onto an SSD. In case it matters, I used Acronis true image to do it. Last night, I switched back, and used the same software to clone my SSD back into my HDD. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but there you go. I used sector writes to clone the SSD back into the HDD. I think I did the same to clone the HDD into the SSD the first go around, as I seem to recall having issues with the automatic clone last time as well as this time, but I'm not 100% positive. Troubleshooting steps I've taken: I first ran a complete chkdsk /r in order to fix any problems, and then allow me to extend my C drive for all of the free space my disk now had, due to cloning a smaller drive. I then did a full defrag and optimize on my disk. Finally I ran winsat to recheck my hw's performance, and let windows know that I no longer had an SSD but rather an HDD. This turned superfetch back on, and I confirmed that it was now running again. I'm not really sure what else to do.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-j171nr Notebook and issues with Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change. Here is a link on performance issues. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which has helped others. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Problems restoring Backup after disk crash & exchange

Recently, the harddisk in my iBook started acting up and eventually died. I had made a backup three days prior to the crash, so I still have (most of) my data.
I brought my iBook to an Apple repair shop, where they mounted a new hard disk. So far so good.
Unfortunately, I've been trying to put my backup on the new disk for the last five days, without succes.
At first I thought it might have had to do with the diskimage I had, like "unreadable" names, but even after rewriting the image to a read/write one, and deleting or renaming the files that had unfortunate signs in it, I still keep getting an error, namely
" An error (2) occurred while copying. (No such file or directory) "
I can't find what's going wrong, I tried everything I could come up with - even simply extracting the files to the disk, but this of course skips most of the hidden files; and when doing this from within the terminal, I still get "Permission denied" errors...
If anyone could help me on this one, I'd be very grateful!
Ah yes, the backup is on an external FW disk, from which I can also boot - which is what I'm doing right now as well; so it's not that I can't write to the disk because it's busy as the bootdisk.

*\mood happy*
Booting still failed this morning... So I thought I'd delete some files from the image to make it copy faster...
I tried Silver Keeper again (when choosing a source, it asks whether one wants the destination to become bootable); and this time - it worked.
I have CCC as well, but haven't tried it.
Anyway - the disk has now been restored and is bootable, so I'm happy. I'll still have to copy back a few directories (the ones I deleted, together around 40gigs, homemade pictures and movies... Not really necessary for a diskrestore at first, I figured), but it works now.
Thank you again; for helping me, but also for teaching me (indirectly as well) a few things about the Mac filesystem.
*end of report with a successful recovery*
