Move Oracle11gXE 32bit DB to Oracle11gXE 64 bit version

Hi,
Firstly, I am not a DB Administrator. I had an issue wtih APEX installed in my Oracle11gXE 32 bit version. So, taking this as opportunity, I uninstalled this (took a backup of oraclexe folder) and installed Oracle 11gXE 64 bit version.
Now I need to restore or move the database to 64bit version.
Can someone help me on this?
Regards
Uma

In your new instance, get a list of the datafiles ( sqlplus system ... select name from v$datafile; ) and get a resetlogs trace backup of the controfile (alter database backup controlfile to trace resetlogs;) and shutdown the instance (conn /as sysdba; shutdown immediate). It would be better to have a controlfile trace backup from the old instance, if other tablespace(s) were added in the old instance. But lines referencing the other datafiles can simply be added into the create controlfile statement.
The trace file is created in the trace directory. It contains the steps for recreating controlfile(s). So move those datafiles out of the way, and copy your backup *dbf *data* files in place of the new instance datafiles. *Not* the controlfile, its control.dbf in an "out of the box" setup, and not the tempfile. You can put temp.dbf in place but it gets recreated anyway. But if the controlfile exists, the create controlfile... step will not succeed.
Via sqlplus get a sysdba connection and run `startup nomount` and run the command from that trace file, everything *after* the startup nomount line up to and including the database character set line, as well as the semicolon is on the following line.
Open the database with resetlogs upgrade (alter database open resetlogs upgrade;) and next run the line to add the tempfile(s), that will also be found that controlfile trace backup file. Run the catalog upgrade script, its in the rdbms/admin folder under the ORACLE_HOME folder ( @?/rdbms/admin/catupgrd ) (like it says at Introduction to the Upgrade Process for Oracle Database. ) and that *should* get all the x64 architecture bits in place. The catupgrd will take some time, and as long as it completes OK it shuts down the instance as its last step.
So one more sysdba connection and do a plain `startup;` and it *should* be all ready to go.

RESETLOGS 이전 BACKUP을 이용한 RECOVERY

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1999-10-28
Resetlogs 이전 backup을 이용하여 resetlogs 이후 database 상태로 recovery
database를 resetlogs option으로 open하게 되면 control file과 data file
header를 변화시키고 online redo log의 모든 redo entry를 무효화시키게
된다. 그래서 resetlogs 이전 시점의 backup을 가지고 현재 상태까지, 또는
resetlogs 이후의 어느 시점까지도 복구가 불가능하여, resetlogs로
database가 open된 이후에는 즉시 db를 full backup받도록 권장된다.
그러나 resetlogs로 open한 후, 즉시 full backup을 받지 못하고 database
를 사용하다가, 다시 fail이 발생하여 현재 시점까지의 복구가 필요한
경우가 있다. 이 문서에서는 그러한 경우, 즉, resetlogs 이전 시점의
backup을 가지고도 resetlogs 이후 시점의 database로의 복구 방법을 설명
한다. 이것은 Oracle7 7.3.3 이상에서만 가능하다.
1. resetlogs가 필요한 경우와 복구를 위한 조건
database를 resetlogs로 open이 필요한 경우는 다음과 같은 경우가 있다.
- incomplete recovery
- using backup control file option을 사용하는 경우
- create control file ... resetlogs 문장을 수행한 경우
이 문서에 설명할 recovery 방법을 사용하게 되는 전제 조건은 다음과
같이 정리할 수 있다.
(1) Oracle version은 7.3.3 이상이다.
(2) resetlogs 수행 이후에는 cold나 hot backup이 존재하지 않는다.
(3) resetlogs 수행 이전의 cold나 hot backup이 존재한다.
(4) resetlogs 수행 이후의 control file은 존재한다.
(5) 현재 시점까지 혹은 recovery하고자 하는 시점까지의 모든 archive
file은 존재한다.
2. recovery 방법
아래와 같은 상황에서 C 시점에서 database crash가 발생한 것을 가정하자.
A B C
-----------|-----------------------|---------------------|----------
datafile과 control file의 resetlogs 수행 현재의 database
backup
먼저 간단히 복구 작업을 설명하면 다음과 같다.
(1) 현재의 control file을 backup을 받아 둔다.
B시점 이후의 control file이면 된다.
(2) resetlogs가 수행되기 이전 즉, A 시점의 datafile과 control file을
restore시킨다. online redo log와 read only datafile은 현재 것을
그대로 둔다.
(3) startup mount
(4) recover database until change <resetlogs 직전의 change number>
using backup controlfile;
여기에서 resetlogs 직전의 change number는 alertSID.log file에
아래와 같이 명확히 나타난다.
RESETLOGS after incomplete recovery UNTIL CHANGE 5847568231282
(5) shutdown (normal)
(6) 1번 STEP에서 backup받아 둔 현재의 control file을 restore시킨다.
현재, 즉 C시점의 control file이 없는 경우 B와 C시점 사이에 backup
받아 둔 control file을 사용하여도 되며, 그 경우에는 아래의 8번
step에서 using backup controlfile을 첨가하여야 한다.
(7) startup mount;
(8) recover database;
이 때 complete recovery 뿐 아니라 B와 C시점 사이로의 incomplete
recovery도 가능하며, B와 C 사이 시점의 backup controlfile을
이용한 recovery도 가능하다
(9) alter database open;
8번 STEP에서 incomplete나 using bakcup controlfile을 사용한
경우에는 open resetlogs를 하여야 한다.
3. 실제 recovery test 예
실제 test한 예를 정리하면 다음과 같다.
(1) database를 cold backup이나 hot backup을 받는다.
cold backup의 경우에는 datafile, redo log file, control file을,
hot backup의 경우에는 datafile과 control file을 받는다.
(2) db에 batch 작업을 수행하여 archive file이 150 ~ 154번까지
생성되었다.
(3) db crash 경우를 만들기 위해 shutdown abort로 db를 shutdown시킨다.
(4) 1번에서 backup받은 datafile과 control file을 restore한다.
이 때 control file은 restore하지 않아도 된다.
(5) resetlogs로 open할 수 있도록 incomplete recovery나 using backup
controlfile을 사용한다. 이 예에서는 두가지를 모두 사용하였다.
SVRMGR> startup mount
SVRMGR> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
SVRMGR> alter database open resetlogs;
(6) 이 때 background_dump_dest의 alertSID.log를 확인해 보면 아래와 같은
message를 확인할 수 있다.
alter database open resetlogs
Wed Nov 3 20:04:30 1999
RESETLOGS after incomplete recovery UNTIL CHANGE 5847568231282
(7) database에 batch 작업을 수행하여 arch1.log ~ arch4.log 화일이
생성되는 것을 확인하였다.
(8) database를 shutdown abort한다.
(9) 현재의 control file을 backup받아둔다.
(10) 1번에서 backup받은 datafile과 control file을 restore한다.
이 때는 5 번과는 달리 반드시 control file을 backup받은 것을
restore하여야 한다.
(11) 다음과 같이 recover한다. 이 때 change number는 7번에서 확인한
번호를 기술한다.
SVRMGR> startup mount;
SVRMGR> recover database until change 5847568231282 using backup
controlfile;
(12) shutdown (normal) 시킨다.
(13) 9번에서 backup받아 두었던 현재의 control file을 restore시킨다.
(14) 다음과 같이 resetlogs 이후 시점을 recovery한다. 이 때 incomplete
recovery도 가능하다.
SVRMGR> startup mount;
SVRMGR> recover database;
SVRMGR> alter database open;
4. 결론
위의 내용을 실제 test해 보면 resetlogs 이후의 시점의 control file이
반드시 필요한 것을 제외하고는 특별히 요구되는 사항이나 복잡한 과정은
필요하지 않다. 그러나 이것은 resetlogs 이후에 backup을 받아두지 않아도
되는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니고, 만일의 경우 backup전 에 발생할 crash를
대비한 복구 방법을 알려주는 것 뿐이다.
위의 내용을 살펴보면 아래 정리한 것과 같은 습관이 필요함을 알 수
있다.
(1) resetlogs 후에는 바로 control file을 backup을 받는다.
(2) resetlogs로 open하기 전에 archive와 online log를 backup 받는다.
resetlogs로 open 후에 log sequence number가 변경되므로 기존의
archive file과 같은 이름으로 archive file이 생성되어 overwrite하는
경우가 발생할 수 있다.
(3) resetlogs 후의 change number를 기록해 둔다.
resetlogs 시점의 change number는 항상 alertSID.log file에 기록되지만
user가 alertSID.log 화일의 과거의 내용을 지우게 되면 change number를
확인할 수 없게 된다.

If you want to restore the controlfile, the database must be in the nomount stage.

Physical Standby Database Lags Far Behind the Primary Database scenario

Hi,
Have anyone successfully implemented described in the Oracle Documentation following
scenario?
For me it does not work at all.
After implementing all steps current_scn of standby database remains the same and when trying to push recovery using redo it asks for non-existing archived log which I can't restore on primary database as all backups containing that archived log already gone.
The only option is to recreate standby database from backup again.
Best Regards,
Alex

I already found the reason.
Just for your information:
Recovering a Standby database from a missing archivelog
Unfortunately documentation missed that important step of standby controlfile recreation.
To my luck I was copying the whole backup to the standby server when found this link.

Transferring backup

without using duplicate command in RMAN, how can I restore a RMAN backup of a PROD instance to a TEST instance, please i need the steps. when the controlfile of the TEST instance is intact.

What is the reason you do not want to use the duplicate command?
If you do not want to use the duplicate command you can RESTORE the database to a New Host using the restore command. There are steps to prevent the overwriting of target records in the recovery catalog:
* Run RMAN in the default NOCATALOG mode when restoring the datafiles.
* If you must use a recovery catalog because the control file is not large enough to contain all of the backups that you need to restore, then export the catalog and import it into a different schema or database and use the copied recovery catalog for the test restore. Otherwise, the catalog considers the restored database as the current target database.
Please read the documentation

A couple thoughts:
1. If this is just SLES (and not Open Enterprise Server (OES) then you
may want to post in the SUSE forums (https://forums.suse.com/) using the
same credentials that you used to access this site.
2. It sounds like you have X working already since you were able to acess
the system using xRDP. Is there a reason you cannot just start the
installer from there? Alt+F2 to run things usually, I think. If you are
using Gnome, I think 'gksu' or 'gksudo' will start things as a privileged
user from the current non-root user after sufficient credentials are
entered; from the KDE side of things I use 'kdesu' all of the time for the
same thing. This avoids loading a shell, changing to root, forwarding X,
etc. as you are trying to do.
3. Going back to your attempt, I do not see you allowing access to your X
session anywhere so that 'root' can connect with its new process. Before
you change to root, you need to instruct your current X session to allow
other users to throw things onto your desktop (usually not a good thing).
The easy way is to just run 'xhost +' from a shell, maybe before running
'su'; note that if other users are on the system they can now send shells
your way forever, and that may not be fun.
Good luck.

HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
generate errors.
Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
Workstation" configuration.
The Oralce CD is labeled:
"Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
Release 8.1.5
for Linux
(c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
umask 022
setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
xhost +
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstall
Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
./runIns.sh
3. runIns.sh and root.sh
I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
Typical (585MB)
Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Directory for Database Files: /u02
Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
(from the
"root" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
./root.sh
Problem: I got the error:
"bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x root.sh
./root.sh
5. Configuration Tools
The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
A. Net8 Configuration Agent
B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
the following error message:
"One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
required that these tools succeed for this installation.
You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
of the error):
"A required command line argument is missing."
The log file
"/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
"Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre

Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
6. dbassist
I executed:
dbassist
Problem: I got the following error:
"JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation."
Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
7. dbassist (cont.)
I selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Copy existing database files from the CD
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Problem: I got the following error:
"CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
Database not created."
(Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
8. dbassist, again
I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
Problem: I got the following error:
"ORA-01012: not logged on"
Workaround: Try, try again.
9. dbassist, one last time
Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:
"Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

Workaround: Beats me.
10. sqlplus
I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
message:
"/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
sqlplus
I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
this installation, starting with the very first command I was
supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
Please help.

I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
this version.
I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
disabled. This didn't help either.
Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
continue every step of the way.

How Install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.3

Hello!
I want install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.3. I follow the steps in book InstallGuid, but when I run runInstaller, I get the error: map failed.
How can I install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat 7.3.
My email is: [email protected]
Thanks,
David Lin

Hi,
I am a newbie and would like to install Oracle 8.1.7 on RedHat Linux,
so RedHat 6.2 or RedHat 7.0
which one is the easier installation for
me(both new in Oracle & Linux)?
Many thanks,
Matt<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I think 6.2 is easier, just follow read me instruction, on redhat 7.0 you must run patch to downgrade glibc from 2.2 to 2.1

Do any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
Could not create JVM
i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.

Oracle 8i is not compile/link time compatible with glibc 2.2. It
requires the glibc 2.1 compatibility SDK, i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz,
to install under systems based on glibc 2.2, like RedHat 7.0.
RedHat 7.0 ships with glibc 2.2. Oracle compiles with glibc 2.1. See the problem here? The good folks at valinux.com have created a compatiblitly SDK that will "fix" Redhat so you can install Oracle 8i. Go to the following link to learn more:
http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/readme.Oracle8i - This is the instructions for installing the patch. Return to this document at Step 4, where they tell you to "Install Oracle 8i." http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz - This is the actual SDK.

Vijaya zi,
Are you still having problem..with this..let me know??
first of all 8.1.7 , or 8.1.6. 8.1.5 neither one of these are certified to work with linux 7.0 Redhat.
Secondly there is a work around you could try..assuming that you have set the enviroment varaible and JVM corrent..( let me know if you need help with this)
here u go...
There is this linux gnu lib file which oracle is looking for which was there in 6.x and not in 7.0.
However if you have upgraded from 6.X linux to 7.0 then it will work..
for some reason it is looking for this glibc file.
either way the oracle message it is giving is not relavant...
it is just not going to work...unless you find a way to implement that glibc file..
I had link..which talk about the work around..
RedHat 7.0 issues
RedHat 7.0 ships with glibc 2.2. Oracle compiles with glibc 2.1. See the problem here? The good folks at valinux.com have created a compatiblitly SDK that will "fix" Redhat so you can install Oracle 8i. Go to the following link to learn more: http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/readme.Oracle8i -
This is the instructions for installing the patch. Return to this document at Step 4, where they tell you to "Install Oracle 8i." http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/i386-glibc-2.1-linux.tar.gz -
This is the actual SDK.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
The procedure for RedHat 7.0 is not officially approved by Oracle. If you are putting a mchine into production, I would strongly recommend sticking with RedHat 6.2 instead (and patching the security holes in it). There are other problems with RedHat 7.0 that extend beyond Oracle. Personally, I'm waiting for 7.1 before I think hard about migrating
hope this help...
NOTE ---> ORACLE DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS METHOD.
Good Luck
