Add WOL when backup job starts

Add option to WOL a device that is shutdown, before a backup job starts otherwise backup will fail !This can be done when creating a backup job.  I'll just give my example here:I have two DL2100, one is primary and another one is only used for backup. Backup always stays powered off (to save energy and reduce device usage) and it starts before the backup job will begin.If i want to run a manual backup, i have to power on the device manually. An WOL option should be available to be able to power on the remote device before the backup starts. This way I do not need to worry about the target NAS and go to the extra trouble to power it on. I would much apreciate it if this suggestion goes to the dev team, since it's an business device and this is an pro option

But Alert job is by default created when we run sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database . so, why we need this one
: sp_add_log_shipping_alert_job  ?
Regards Chaithu.. If it is usefull,Mark this as Answer.
Hello,
Ok sorry I did not got your point first time.You dont need to create an alert using this method as alert is already created(as you said) .This proc also checks to see if alert job is created ,if not created it will create it.So as you say its already created
you dont need to run sp_add_logshipping_alert_job
Please mark this reply as the answer or vote as helpful, as appropriate, to make it useful for other readers

  • Tracking RMAN Backup job details

    Version:11.2.0.3/Solaris 11
    To track RMAN backup job details , what dictionary view/dyn.performance view do you use ?
    In our shop , we use incrementally updated backup (incremental merge). To find the details of previous RMAN Jobs, I tried using
    v$rman_status
    and
    v$rman_backup_job_details
    But the details provided by these 2 views don't match. For example, on 26th of June 2013, there was an Incremental backup and an archivelog backup. As per v$rman_status , both of them took 61 minutes (46 + 15)
    According to v$rman_backup_job_details, backup jobs took 96 minutes .It doesn't seem to provide all info on archive log bkp though.
    The start_time and end_time provided by both of these views don't math either !
    col starttime format a25
    col endtime format a25
    select status, object_type, to_char(start_time,'dd/MON/yyyy:hh:mi:ss') as starttime,
    to_char(end_time,'dd/MON/yyyy:hh:mi:ss') as endtime ,
    to_number(end_time-start_time)*24*60 duration_minutes
    from sys.v$rman_status where start_time > trunc(sysdate) - 20 and operation = 'BACKUP'
    order by end_time desc;

    When I run an full/incremental backup with archivelog it only shows as one job in v$rman_backup_job_details.  Only if I explicitly run just a backup archivelog all in RMAN does it show up separately as an ARCHIVELOG backup in v$rman_backup_job_details.
    rman_status shows the individual parts of the jobs.  For example for a full backup it shows the db backup and the archivelog backup.
    The start and end time in rman_status should match up with $rman_backup_job_details.
    Lets take the 25th as an example:
    In man_backup_job_details
    STATUS                  INPUT_TYPE    STARTTIME           ENDTIME             DURATION_MINUTES
    COMPLETED               DB INCR       25/06/2013:06:00:08 25/06/2013:07:58:01       117.883333
    In v$man_status:
    STATUS                  OBJECT_TYPE   STARTTIME                 ENDTIME                   DURATION_MINUTES
    COMPLETED               ARCHIVELOG    25/JUN/2013:06:50:55      25/JUN/2013:07:58:01                  67.1

    You need to view your logfiles to see what rman was doing between 6:00:08 when the job started and 06:25:06 when the incremental backup started.
    You can see that the end time is the same in both views.
    Not easy to explain but I hope that helps.

  • How to capture the job start time

    Hi,
    how do i capture the time the job start running and the time the job end? when i query this
    SQL> select * from user_jobs;no column are showing when the job start time (only last_sec and next_sec). I want to copy user_jobs view into ajob_history table, like this:
    Job history table
    Job_start Job_end
    (?)     (last_sec)

    Why not add a log time into the job call itself? That way, you can collect the information yourself for the jobs you're interested in.
    So instead of the "what" parameter being "my_proc(p1, p2....)", change it to something like:
    declare
      v_start_time TIMESTAMP;
      v_end_time  TIMESTAMP;
    begin
      v_start_time := systimestamp;
      my_proc(p1, p2....);
      v_end_time := systimestamp;
      log_job_time('Unique identifier', v_start_time, v_end_time);
    end;and have the log_job_time process insert a row into a logging table that captures the name of the job and it's start and end time.
    That's if you can't include the timings in your procedure, of course.

  • Rman backup jobs does not start automatically

    How to make Rman start backup job at once?
    Edited by: OraSun on 01.10.2010 4:44

    If you have created a database storage selector, you don't need to include media manager parameters in the RMAN script. You would include media manager parameters in script, if you want to override the database storage selector settings. For example, in the database storage selector you have indicated that the media family is mf_rman...OSB will automatically use that media family based on database storage selector settings. Per the RMAN script, you want this backup operation to use mf_rman...since database storage selector already defines this, you don't need to include it in the RMAN script. If your database storage selector defines use of mf_rman media family but you want a particular backup to use "foo" media family, then you would include that parameter in your script so it would override the database storage selector.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package.  Error "Licensing has stopped working"  | Mac OS

  • Lose internet when time machine starts backup

    Title says it all. I lose internet connectivity (wireless) when time machine starts. If I turn airport on and off from the taskbar, it works and the backup completes itself.

    Me too!
    It used to work just fine, but ever since I upgraded to snow leopard, I was having these intermittent internet outages, and it was driving me crazy. I finally realized it was happening every time Time Machine would start up. I turned Time Machine off, and now my internet works just fine. But this is obviously not an ideal solution. I'm glad to see I'm not alone.
    Anyone else having this problem??

  • Losing internet when time machine starts backup

    is anyone losing their wireless internet connection when time machine starts its automatic backup? if so, do you know a work around?

    Problem here too...it's driving me nuts! There must be a solution - but I have a feeling it'll need an airport/OS X update of some sort?

    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.

  • How to add an object in JNDI when a server starts?

    I have an integration app. The app contains EJB project. The project contains EJB which reads data from LDAP.
    My first version of EJB contains the following code:
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, strProvider);
    env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, strAuth); env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,strPrincipal); env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,strCredentials);
    DirContext dirCtx = new InitialDirContext(env); // exception
    All connection properties are hardcoded and it is not a good practice.
    Also I can put those properties into deployment descriptor. But I am going to have some EJBs and each EJB has to have those properties into descriptors. It is not useful.
    My idea: I would like to have whatever object which is called automatically when a server starts; this object creates InitialDirContext and put the context into JNDI. All EJBs lookup the context by a name. But I don't know how to do that.
    And another question: how to change connection properties dynamically? My idea is putting the properties in XML Cache. And my object (which creates InitialDirContext) reads the properties from XML Cache. Can I handle a message that my properties in XML Cache have been changed and in this cases my object reads new properties and calls rebind() to update InitialDirContext?
    Thanks,
    Ivan

    To bind an object into the JNDI tree check the documentation here:
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/jndi/jndi.html#475702
    If this is to be used by all your applications that you deploy on the server check out the startup/shutdown class documentation here:
    http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/startup_shutdown.html

  • Error: Sheduled Backup Job Problem

    Dear all.
    I've been getting a problem with a scheduled backup job through OEM since yesterday which I'm not able to find out why as it was working fine. When I access OEM I can see that I have a problem execution and when I investigate why it says "Unable to perform the backup because the database is closed". But my db is open for sure and I'm able to execute the backup from RMAN command line normally. I shut my db down and started it up again but didn't work. Does anybody know why this is happening?
    OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
    DB: Oracle Database 10g
    Thanks a lot.

  • Can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not set up as a virtual disk?

    This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any definitive information after having done many, many searches.  Short question is - can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not in a storage
    pool or some other RAID/JBOD structure?
    Background:
    I'm running Server 2012 Essentials with all Windows Updates installed.  I have been backing up approx 2.8TB of data (Bare Metal Recovery, C:, S: (shared folders), and system reserved) for the past year+ onto a storage pool made up of two-2TB external
    USB drives.  Backup is slow (takes approx 1.5 days to complete), but generally works.  Not surprisingly I was constantly getting capacity low messages so I decided to increase my backup storage pool by adding a 3TB drive and another spare 750GB drive
    for a total of 7.75TB.  Instead of having four separate external USB enclosures, I bot a 4-bay enclosure - Startech.com model #S3540BU33E to simplify this (or so I thought!).
    The first problem I had was adding the two new drives to the existing storage pool. I think that is because the Startech uses a JMicron USB controller that reports identical uniqueid's for all drives so only one shows up in the GUI interface for creating storage
    pools. After doing research on this, I set up a new storage pool and virtual disk using all four drives via Powershell and thought I was good. However, when the backup ran, it failed after filling the first drive, saying there was no remaining capacity. In
    reality there were three remaining empty drives and there storage pool reported almost 5TB of avail capacity. I assumed this was due to the identical uniqueid issue so I decided to try a different tactic.
    Instead of using a storage pool that combines all four disks into one virtual disk, I just added each of them to Windows Server Backup as individual drives thinking it would manage them collectively. I.e., when a drive filled up during a particular backup,
    it would just start using the next drive and so on. Apparently this was a foolish assumption because the backup failed again as soon as the first disk filled up.
    So now I don't know if this is still an issue with the identical uniqueid's or if Server Backup actually can't spread a single backup across multiple individual drives that aren't in a pool or other virtual disk implementation. Hence, my original question.
    My guess is that it does *not* spread them across individual disks, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
    Thanks

    Mandy,
    Thank you for following up on my question.
    Unfortunately the article you referenced doesn't address what I am trying to accomplish.
    The article focuses on saving the same backup job to multiple disks and rotating the disks between on and offsite for enhanced protection.  However, it still requires that an individual backup job fits on a single disk.
    What I am trying to determine is if a single backup job can span across more than one physical disk (during the backup process) without those physical disks being in some type of virtual disk implementation (e.g., storage pool, RAID, etc.).
    Thanks,
    Gerry

  • LMS 3.1 Backup job Failing

    Hello,
    We have LMS 3.1 installed and the backup is failing with the following message
    [Tue Feb  8 09:20:26 2011]  ERROR(247): E:/Backup_3/backup.LOCK file exists
    Most probably another backup process is running
    [Tue Feb  8 09:20:26 2011]  Backup failed: 2011/02/08 09:20:26
    I tried to do the following, but it didn't work:
    1- Run again the backup job, but specify a new backup directory folder (ex: E:/Backup_4/). --> Did not work
    2- - Stop the Deamon Manager service using: net stop crmdmgtd --> Did not work
         - Delete the backup.LOCK file from the E:/Backup_3/ folder
         - Restart the Deamon manager service using: net start crmdmgtd
         - Run the backup job again using the new Folder destination.
    Please Advise,
    Regards,

    I am currently working on a same issue with LMS 3.1 on windows;
    After stopping dmgtd have you been able to delete the backup.lock or have you restarted the server?
    In my case I was not able to delete the file and it turned out dbvalid.exe blocked this. The backup seems to run without any problems. When the backup is done dbvalid.exe trys to verify the backup database files. This validation fails and dbvalid starts dbsupport.exe to get some detail information on the failure and trys to send them to Sybase support. You should find (several ?) crash files here: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 12\diagnostics. dbsupport.exe seems to be started interactively and thus hangs up waiting for some user input...
    In the crash file I see dfmInv mentioned as the database which did not pass dbvalid. I assume I will end up reinitializing the dfm databases to recover - but let's wait and see. I found some hints that there could be a bug with dbvalid.exe form Sybase- not sure if this is the culprit or a real DB error. What I found really strange is the cli of dbsupport.exe (see the option -gui at the end... )
    D:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx\objects\db\win32\dbsupport.exe" -crash "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SQL Anywhere 10\diagnostics\SA10_20110215_040218_4348.crash_log" -crashpn "dbeng10" -crashsn "dbvdfmInvEng" -gui
    Also, I would quickly backout the last know good backup from the backup directory - just in case... (the one before the failure raised the first time)
