Alter database resetlogs

In http://www.dbaclick.com/forums/archive/16/35.html in step 9, they have "svrmgrl>alter database resetlogs;" However, in Oracle 8.1.7 Windows that statement does not work. What statement should be used for Oracle 8.1.7 instead?
I tried looking the alter database resetlogs statement up, but could not find it.
Thanks.
Michael

I bet it was "alter database open resetlogs;" Thanks goes to "Donald Spry" for that one. :)

'alter database open resetlogs' didn't reset one of the datafiles

I've spent the last three and a half weeks recovering an oracle database (11g 64-bit linux) because of a corrupt block in an online redo log (which I thought was being written to multiple locations). I restored the files, moving some of them around in the process; recovered to the latest possible point; moved files back to their proper location; ran 'alter database open resetlogs'; and one of the datafiles (from a bigfile tablespace) didn't get reset. I checked afterward, and it was marked offline. I do not remember placing the file offline, and cannot find such a statement in my last 300 sqlplus commands, which includes commands well before I renamed this file and the commands surrounding the rename.
Restoring/recovering the database again will take too long, and is a remarkably poor option. Even if the database had opened correctly, the affected tablespace would not have been touched in the two or three minutes the database was open. Is there any way to force oracle to reset the logs again or otherwise fix this one file to mark it with the same date? Only allowing the resetlogs option after an incomplete recovery seems a poor restriction, especially, if files can slip through like this. I'm suspecting there is someway to just fix the checkpoint values for the tablespace, but I don't know where to begin. This particular file is <5% of the database, so if I have to do some sort of backup/restore with just it, that is probably doable.

4: Nothing in the tablespace has been touched since I ran 'alter database open resetlogs;'. It also appears that oracle placed the file offline (without me telling it to do so) and left it that way through the resetlogs, leaving the tablespace unusable during the time it was opened. The only things that would be out of date are the 'RESETLOGS_CHANGE#', the 'CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#', and associated values. It's still at the last scn before the resetlogs, and the system has been in archivelog mode the entire time. This is all information that Oracle could be tracking, and from a program logic standpoint there is no reason why Oracle cannot tie together the changes before the resetlogs, the resetlogs command and the changes after the resetlogs into a new, continuous string of changes. I assume there is some such feature in a high-caliber program because I'm actually a programmer (who would have included such advanced tracking features), and I've become a DBA out of necessity. I admit to not knowing all of the oracle DBA commands, hence me posting here before doing the work of submitting a request to metalink.
5: I consider it a poor restriction because it doesn't always reset the logs on all files, and as far as my knowledge goes it has rendered my 3.5 week recovery process WORTHLESS. I suppose it could cause numerous errors, especially if the database wasn't cleanly shut down, but having the ability to do something equivalent to datafiles that oracle skipped the process on seems quite useful in my situation. I guess the more fundamental problem to complain about is that it would apply such changes to only some of the files, while leaving others unusable, instead of just giving me an error that some files weren't going to be reset, but I think I'm done venting my Oracle frustrations for now.
Am I stuck with a tablespace that I cannot bring online with the database open, or is there some sort of 'alter database datafile' command (or anything else) that I know nothing of that will fix the straggling file?

Any help ?

Hi,
Duplicate is not supported using different version of database, so I recommend you don't use duplicate.
Because RMAN "duplicate" attempts to automatically rename (rename required recover) and open the database you may not use RMAN duplicate for this case, only RMAN restore.
Perform this work using normal restore database.
See this example.

Alter database open resetlogs

Hi,
when I try to duplicate my database by RMAN I have :
RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log
RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
I connect to duplicate database in sqlplus , it is not open.
Than I do :
alter database open resetlogs;
And the database would be open.
Is it bad ? Will we lose the data ? If yes what solution do you propose ?
Effectively I do not know how to use this informations :
log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
Please help me to use this informations if helplfull.
Many thanks.

From Oracle Error documentation:
RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread number seq number lowscn string found to restore
Cause: An archive log restore restore could not proceed because no backup of the indicated archived log was found. It may be the case that a backup of this file exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
Cause: Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action: The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list.
It seems you do not have some of the files required for recover operation. Could you post how this database is backed up using RMAN?

Alter database open resetlog?

Hi all,
I am trying the Database cloning(new database name) in my development environment(Oracle 11g r1 Windows 2003 Server). While Creating a new controlfile we need pass command like this "CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ORCL2" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING NOARCHIVELOG"
1.i just wants to know why we need to use resetlogs, when i pass this command what is internally happening in the oracle?
2.when the new database name is updated in all datafile during controlfile creation or while opening the database?
3.Alter database open resetlogs what is internally happening in the oracle when i pass this command?
Please advice me
Thanks & Regards,
Shan

What if "ALTER DATABASE OPEN" WORKS WHEN DB IS INCONSISTENT???

Hello Everyone,
I heard from couple of friends that in the case of recovery , oracle database opens despite the fact that some of the data files are inconsistent.
Is this really true? If it is, then i think its a bug with specific Oracle patch or release.
Is there anyone who has experienced a similar situation in the past? Please share.
Thanks.
sapguy

Appreciate your response. I ran into a situation where we are not sure of what time choose to choose recovery (point in time) and ended up recovering file by file and its been 100 files .. .none of those files helped with "Media recovery complete" message . This is database refresh from production backup.
Then when i am trying to issue ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS one of main guy says do not issue OPEN command as it may corrupt the database.
I came across one of friend who ran into similar situation and he was able open the database , but LATER database started issuing ora 600 due to corrupted files or whatever which never happened. Forgive me .. if my text is confusing.
Thanks.

Oracle 11gR2 alter database open hangs for a long time

Hi,
We are cloning oracle apps database with RAC to non-RAC. We did the ORACLE_HOME clone and then duplicated the database with rman.
It completed successfully.
While trying to bounce the database, the db startup option hangs at "alter database open" for a long time
There are no errors in the alert log file. It just waits at "alter database open"
Please help and thanks in advance.
Regards
Sasikala

If i have to shutdown the instance and database then
WHAT IS THE USE OF 'ALTER DATABASE CLOSE' ?
I need explanation. Why should i shutdown?
Dont give me this answer.
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.
Cheers, APC

Alter database statement in anonymous pl/sql block

Is it possible to include an alter database statement in an anonymous pl/sql block?
When I execute this code to query user_tables for all table names, disable their constraints and drop the table, I got the following error:

When you want to perform ddl statements in a (anonymous) PL/SQL block, you have to use dynamic SQL because ddl is not possible in pl/sql.
Dynamic sql means that you sort of execute ddl statements in a sql manner. To use dynamic sql, two options exist:
- dbms_sql package : for oracle before 8i. To use this package is not always easy. Read about it carefully first before using.
- Native Dynamic SQL : implemented in 8i and very easy to use. An example would be :
declare
lv_statement varchar2(32676);
begin
lv_statement := 'ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE DISABLE CONSTRAINT MY_TABLE_CK1';
execute immediate lv_statement;
lv_statement := 'ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE ENABLE CONSTRAINT MY_TABLE_CK1';
execute immediate lv_statement;
end;
Good luck.
