Scheduled DELETE OBSOLETE fails

I have a script which runs nightly to DELETE OBSOLETE. It fails with an error.
When I enter the commands into the RMAN console all works fine.
Here are the commands......
ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'E:\temp\work';
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE DEVICE TYPE DISK;
If i put this into a script it complians about the "FOR" in the ALLOCATE statement.
How can I get the DELETE to work properly in the scheduled script? I am running Recovery Manager: Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production.

The error message I get is shown here...
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 2

  • Delete obsolete fails

    Hi
    I have an (upgraded) database v. 10.1.0.4.0. When executing 'delete obsolete' from RMAN I get the following errors:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

    ORA-06550: line 1, column 267:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    According to Metalink document 311798.1 this is because the database was upgraded to 10.1.0.4 and the DBMS_RCVMAN package was not.
    The solution is to run the following scripts ( as sysdba):
    $ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\dbmsrman.sql
    $ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\prvtrmns.plb
    which I did .
    But I still get the same the same error when doing 'delete obsolete' !
    Any clues ?
    KR
    Rolf

    Hi oradba
    Yes, the error stack refers to the catalog.
    Funny thing is that I have several other databases upgraded to 10.1.0.4, and none of those gives an error in 'delete obsolete' ! These db's use the same catalog.(10.1.0.3)
    To my knowledge, these databases were upgraded in a standard fashion, using standard upgrade scripts.
    May be I should do what you did and upgrade the catalog as well.
    By the way; is it possible to identify the version of the DBMS_RCVMAN package ?
    Thanks

  • Retention Policy and report/delete obsolete

    The database is Oracle 9i on Solaris 8 Platform.
    The backup of datafiles and archivelog files use tape and run every night.
    The backups should be held for two weeks therefore using RMAN retention policy with REPORT / DELETE OBSOLETE will be the apropiate method. Unfortunatelly somehow none of the two methods of retention policy RECOVERY WINDOW or REDUNDANCY don't seem to work. The big question is WHY?
    I configured the retention policy using:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 7
    Then ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE sbt;
    I ran CROSSCHECK BACKUP with a correct output and then REPORT OBSOLETE. The report displays all existing backups - (SYSDATE-2)!
    If using RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS then the obsolete report displays the list of backups - (SYSDATE-1).
    Somehow whatever number I use (7/9/5)in any of the retention policy the result is identical with the one above!

    Really I do not know if there is a limitation regarding that aspect if you take the backups in tapes directly. I have implanted and I have seen it function well when backups are store directly in disk.
    Find out here if that is a limitation.

    Hi
    Are u taking the offline backup on disk or tape. Your log seems to be mentioning it to be on tape. Anyways, have you set the /oracle/SID/102_64/dbs/initSID.sap file parameters accordingly. Also the log says that there has been a user intervention to stop the backup. Did you press Cntrl C in the process. Offline backups to tape is a bit tricky aand even we are fighting on this. I would suggest taking it on disk and then transferring it to tape.

  • Issue during delete obsolete

    Hi,
    I have 10.2.0.4 database on AIX and taking the backup using RMAN. While running Delete obsolete command, it is giving below message at last:
    DELETE OBSOLETE;
    Deleted 198 objects
    For record type DELETED OBJECT recids from 522 to 523 are re-used before resync
    released channel: t1
    Recovery Manager complete.
    Could you please let me know that what is the issue?
    Thx

    I think you left out the error code message.
    Did you get RMAN-06610 ?!
    if yes
    RMAN-06610: For record type string recids from number to number are re-used before resync
        Cause: This messages is issued when the control file records were re-used before resyncing to catalog database.
        Action: Increase control_file_keep_record_time setting or issue BACKUP command that it will generate fewer control file records, e.g., backup few tablespaces instead of the complete database in one BACKUP command.BTW error message info comes from here

    Hi Jörg,
    we use simple server based batch scripts . These scripts use the functionality provided by the BPA Admin tool to perform different tasks. You can either start macros inside the tool or perform other tasks like backing up the DBs etc.
    This is a very simple by proven way to automate server based activities. We use this since the old ARIS days

  • Scheduled webi reports fail, why? If I restart BO services they work again

    Hello.
    I'm having a problem with my scheduled Webi reports and I don't know what is causing it.  I have some reports scheduled to run at 8:00 am, and are supposed to be sent to a determined e-mail. Last week it worked well and the reports were sent to their destination successfuly, then this week the same reports didn't reach their destination.  I verified in the History option and all of them showed a Failed status.  I checked the detail and this is what it shows:
    Unexpected exception caught. Reason: [java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null.]
    If I try to reschedule these reports or any other report or a new report I get the same error.  The only way I can make the schedule option work again  for my webi reports is restarting  BusinessObjects services.
    But I guess this is not the right solution.
    What can I do? How can I determine what is causing my scheduled webi reports fail?
    What does  this java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null message mean?
    Is there a way I could track the service that is failing? which BO service is the service that manage the Schedule reports?
    Any help is welcome.

  • Delete obsolete combinations in /SAPAPO/MC62 - how to use?

    Hello SAP-experts,
    We are using SAP APO Demand planning SAP SCM 7.0 with SP 15 for most of components.
    I have some questions related to the button "delete obsolete combinations" in TA /SAPAPO/MC62. We want to use option "list combinations without planning data" to reduce CVC's quantity. What I have read it checks for CVC's without any entries at key figures. It sounds useful, but it doesn't seem to work in our company for some reason.
    1. Where exactly does system check if there are key figures for the selected CVC's? In livecache directly? Or in an internal generated info cube for the planning area? Is it possible to view these key figures (on same base as done from system with option "list combinations without planning data") before using the deletion? Is there a report / table to do so? What's the best practise for this check (maybe on daily base)?
    2. I have (some) CVC's without any key figure filled (for my opinion...). At the moment I check this with an info cube used for daily backup (means I see always the data from last night and I know that noone changed data because of blocked planning access). But it isn't found with "list combinations without planning data". When displaying the data in this backup-cube all key figures are shown as zero (the one which are shown for deletion and in same way the cvc's which are not shown). In the key figure settings "differentiation between zero and initial value" is not marked... I think this is correct, but maybe I have a misunderstanding here... any ideas about this setting? I don't believe this setting is wrong, because it shows me some CVC's to be deleted, but some of them are not shown (the setting should work for all cvc's in same way...?).
    All ideas are most welcome, thank you all in advance!
    Best regards
    Harald Leissl

    Hello Ali,
    thank you for your reply!
    My plan was to use standard tool, because it's available since some releases. I don't prefer to implement own programming instead of using an existing tool (talking about the built ABAP tool, the idea with alert makro sounds good).
    Is the standard tool effective??? Good question. We talk about 2 steps.
    If the mentioned function "delete obsolete" would work like designed (maybe it does, but I don't understand how...) it would do 2 steps combined:
    - find out obsolete CVC's (your alert makro)
    - delete obsolete CVC's (your ABAP tool)
    Combining these 2 steps would be really effective, but it doesn't work for some reason. My estimation is that standard is not effective, because complete process of deletions of CVC's is very slow and causes sometimes performance trouble.
    But this is the reason why I search for a standard tool to run periodically (maybe each week) for a check of "old" CVC's. I think our problem of slow running deletions is caused by too many CVC's in an planning object structure (together with the fact that our CVC's have a lot of key figures / characteristics).
    To be honest my main task is to find the best possibility to delete a list of completely different CVC's (no unique selection possible). I tested a lot of things found in SCN (realignment, background deletion,...), but all the solutions have s lack in performance (at least in our system...).

  • Crystal Report Server - Scheduled Reports Have Failed - SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SE

    Hi,
    Recently, several scheduled reports have failed with the error message "server error. CrystalEnterprise.Smtp: SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SEND(3)". It happens randomly, to different reports at different times. Can anyone let me know what information does this need to troubleshoot. Thanks!
    Senthil

    Hi
    I would like to suggest you following things:
    1) Please check the SMTP settings on the respective report's job server. Like Severname of the SMTP
    server. Port number of the SMTP and domain.
    2) Check whether are you able to send the mails from mail client to the desired destination.
    3) Verify the Port number given to the SMTP, by default it is 25. And also verify it is not blocked on the
    firewall.
    4) Also verify whether ip address of the server machine where job server is installed is included in the
    allowed list at the SMTP server end.

  • Delete obsolete not deleting archives

    Hi,
    Platform : Windows 2003
    Oracle : 10.2.0.4.0
    We've following policy for RMAN :
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'G:\Hot_BKP\controlfile\%F';
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
    CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
    CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DB_1\DATABASE\SNCFPROJECT.ORA'; # default
    There is cascaded standby setup on this database. Now even if the archives are applied on the standby database, the "delete obsolete" is deleting obsolete backups but not the archives.

    Hi Khurram,
    The "_log_deletion_policy" parameter is set to ALL. So keeping archive log destination 'mandatory' is not necessary.
