Applying Archive logs after restore by RMAN

We user RMAN for our backup. I wanted to restore the database and apply all the archive logs.
After I use
RMAN> Restore database ( from last night backup)
RMAN> Recover database
And now I want to apply all the archive logs from which were generated from last night backup say 11:00 pm till 10:00 am today morning.
How can I apply the archive logs.
Thanks

I have the RMAN backup on tape , and I have the archive logs on the disk , as the archive logs would be backed up only the following night.
i.e i want to restore a 10th night backup , and apply the logs from 10th night 11:00 pm to 10:00 am 11th morning. As the archive logs would still be on the disk , how can I apply them..
Thanks

RMAN: How to apply Archive Logs after recoverying of all physical files

Hi;
I am using RMAN Oracle10g; my test database has being corrupted. I have already taken 0 level backup through this command
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0 tag = Test_Weekly_database format 'O:\rman\backup\Full_Weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t'(database);
release channel c1;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'O:\rman\backup\Auto_Ctrl_weekly_%F';
allocate channel c1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
BACKUP tag = Test_Weekly_Arch ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7' format 'O:\rman\backup\Archive_weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t';
DELETE ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7';
release channel c1;
After backing up I inserted few records in TEST123 table. And switch current log file.
Then my database has been corrupted. Now I have last 0 level backup (RMAN) and archive logs files on OS level.
I am recovering my database with the following commands; but archive logs have not being applied. And my inserted records were not presented in TEST123 table.
Kindly guide me

Restoring archive log after cold backup

Hello forums users,
I read many thing on this topic but I didn't find the good answer.
I performed a cold backup each sunday.
My database is in ARCHIVE LOG mode.
Is it possible to restore ARCHIVE LOG files after restoring COLD backup?
Sunday : cold backup
Monday : new archive log have been created since cold backup
Tuesday : same as Monday
Wednesday : I would like to restore to Monday 22:00 for example
Can I restore cold backup + apply archive log until Monday 22:00 ?
Regards,
Guillaume

Is there a way to apply archive logs, standby DB is opened with 'resetlogs'

Hi All,
I have setup a standby database (Oracle 10g SE). I applied hot backup and archive logs to the standby database till yesterday. I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;" and validated the application functionality using the standby database.
Now I want to regularly apply logs from the Primary database to the standby database, but today I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;"
Need assistance to know the way to apply archive logs, once the standby database is opened with 'resetlogs' option to keep it in sync with the Primary database.
Thanks
Kunal

Welcome to OTN,
I have setup a standby database (Oracle 10g SE). I applied hot backup and archive logs to the standby database till yesterday. I have opened the standby database using 'alter database open resetlogs;" and validated the application functionality using the standby database.Standby opened with *resetlogs* ? What you did? have you performed failover of standby database?

To clear db2 archive log after db2 database backup

After db2 backup archive log remains as it is.is there setting to remove archive logs after database backup.DAS is not installed.
DB2 9.1 FP 6
os HP unix

Hello Anand,
If the archvied logs are not required, ie they are not required for restore
you can remove them.
You can check this is by running
db2 list history all for db <sid>
The above command will give you a detailed overview of the backup
history and what logs were archived and what logs were included or needed for restore of backups.
If they are no longer needed for a restore, then it is safe to remove them.
Kind regards,
Paul

Could u tell me last applyed archive log in disaster recovery server

Hi DBA'S,
we are using oracle 9.2.0.8 my production database has dr(our dr is not a stand by it is created in diff way) server every time one cron job sync the database and transfer the new logs from production server to dr server. i want to know last applied archive in dr server.
i am using this query select max(sequence#) from v$log_history; it is showing same results in boath production and dr when ever we backup 2 days before archive to some backup directory sync is going to fail
please tell me correct query to find out the last applied archived log in dr server
Thanks&Regards

As you are running cron job to bring the dr in sync, i suppose v$log_history might give you the wrong results.In your case check :-
select sequence#,applied from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';Would like to know, why manual recovery (archive logs being manually applied) is being performed, and not automatic.
In case you switch to automatic below query would be useful :-
select al.thrd "Thread", almax "Last Seq Received", lhmax "Last Seq Applied"
    from (select thread# thrd, max(sequence#) almax
            from v$archived_log
           where resetlogs_change#=(select resetlogs_change# from v$database)
           group by thread#) al,
         (select thread# thrd, max(sequence#) lhmax
           from v$log_history
            where first_time=(select max(first_time) from v$log_history)
           group by thread#) lh
          where al.thrd = lh.thrd;Refer [http://aprakash.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/use-of-varchived_log-and-vlog_history-on-physical-standby/]

New standby not applying archive log

I have just created standby database....but its not applying archive log...
when I checked the alerlog file of standby....
ora-19527 physical standby redo log must be renamed

yes, I have created at onlien redo logs at standby database..
what is test and test?
i saw one command like this...
log_file_name_convert= ((''/u01/oradata/prod'', ''/u01/oradata/standby''),(''/u02/oradata/prod'', ''/u02/oradata/standby''))
My Primary DB name is OraclePM
My Standby DB name is OracleDR
I have placed all redo logs in direcrtory (D:\oracle\product\logs\ ) the directory structure for both databases is same... I have created 3 additionals redo logs at standby database...
How can I edit my standby init file...

Manually apply archived log to standby database.

Hi all,
I am working on oracle 10g EE(10.2.0.4).I am having a very difficult database switchover case in my hand.
1.> There are two database .one primary(prim) and another standby(standby).
2.> Initially both of them was configured as oracle data guard, where prim was primary and standby was standby using rman .(RMAN>duplicate target database for
standby dorecover).
3.>But the rate of generation of archivelog is very high( 20 archivelog per hour with 200mb each).
4.> So automatic shipping of archivelog has been disabled from primary.(log_archive_dest_state_2=defer and nullifying the value of log_archive_dest_2).
5> Now after a period of time archived logs are shipped to dr site manually and applied manually.(alter database recover automatic standby database;)
6.> Now there is a hardware problem occured at primary..it will take 72 hours to come up.
How can i use standby database as primary for that 72 hour.As archive log apply is manually done and parameters are being changed,can i switch over these two?
Is it possible to switchover and switch back these two database with such a configuration?

As of now you can perform failover your standby to primary database. you should have flashaback enabled, so you have to create a restore point.
Then it can be opened in read & write mode, So once you finished again you can go back to that point.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/manage_ps.htm#i1017111
The above case applicable if you ready to loose, But it doesnt make sense. But in your case this doesnt work. Because once you start use of Standby as primary, there would be live/production data, which you need very much.
So there is lot of work to do.
You have to rebuild standby database and then switchover back to same location. So its a little trip work.
Have you enabled Dataguard Broker ?

Corruption of archived logs after redo resizing - URGENT

Hello all,
We have a RAC 9i 2-node DB, running on RHEL 3 machines.
We resized our redo logs from 100M to 1G to avoid "Can not allocate log, archival required" messages.
The operation was successful, but now we are facing problems with the ext3 filesystem holding the archived logs.
Each node has its own arc location, mounted only once.
When we run "ls" in the arc destination, we get "ls: Input/output error" messages.
RMAN complains also about corrupted arcvhived logs.
The day before Yesterday we reformatted one arc destination, and today the messages appeared in the other one.
Do you have any suggestion?
Jonathan

Did the problem occur right after increasing the log size? Then the first thing to do would be to decrease the log size, but add more log groups to fix the "Can not allocate..." problem.
If "ls" doesn't work, your file system is stuffed.Reformat the archive dest and do simple file copies to verify the integrity, before putting the archive logs back on.
That's just for starters...

Apply archive logs to database

I have a production database that is online. I'm planning to setup a pc with the same configurations as that of the db server and use that server as the reporting generation. The clone pc's database will be one day delay compared to the production database. I'm planning to use export/import but someone suggested to use the archive log files of the production database and apply it to the clone pc, is this doable?
I have a full export backup and all the archive log of the production database, is this enough to restore the clone pc to the state( one day back) of the production database?
Need your suggestions. Thanks

You can do this while configuring physical standby database.

Path to redo logs after restoring of controlfile

Hello!
After restoring of controlfile I see distorted redo logs metadata (column v$logfile.member ) :
$OH/dbs/data/ora/MY_SID/rlog/redo1a.logIn source database redo logs placed in other directory,
also I should drop logfile members and logfile groups and then to create them again , but may be there is other way to fix this issue?
Please advise.
I'm usung 11.2.0.3
Thanks and regards,
Pavel

Hello Grirsh
Thank You.
You mean you are having some other name of redolog files than in the folder ?Yes , You are right. In database never was redo with this path.
If yes, it means they may be something else, because Oracle is just using the those files which are showing in column of member of v$logfile view.Sorry. Could I ask You please to explain this phrase, as I wrote In database never was redo with this path,
from where they appear after restoring of controlfile ?
I saw the binary file from which control file was created through browsers, it doesn't contain the path mentioned in my first post
Best regards,
Pavel

Manually Apply Archived log to stand by database

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle 10g. So, we need to apply the archived logs of Primary database to stand by database, but this process must be manually.
A "robot" copy the archived logs to destination. I need to get these archived logs from destination and manually apply to stand by database.
How can I do this?
thank you very much!!!!

How can I do this?First stop current recover process as
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;Then transfer all need archive logs from primary to standby side and apply these manually using below command.
recover standby database until cancel
/*this command will ask full path of archive logs
and give these then finally enter "CANCEL" word*/Finally you can continue normal/automatic state using
alter database recover managed standby database ;

How to backup and apply the backup after restored my iPod?

Hi, I just want to know how can I backup my iPod and apply the backup after I restored my iPod. Thanks.

Do you have all the songs contained in your iPod also in iTunes?
If the songs/content of your iPod all show up in iTunes under Library and the various subcategories (music, videos, ...) when you launch it, then they are "backed up" already. Then you can just restore your iPod and re-sync.
If the only existing copy of the files is on your iPod, then you need to move them from the iPod to another disk drive. I'm not sure how to do that, except for iTunes store purchases, you need to use some other procedure/program outside of iTunes.
