2)what is the advantages of this backup.
3)When does it require & perform.

Correct backup procedure

What is the correct procedure to make.
1. Every evening a "hot" on-line back.
2. Every saturday evening a "full" backup.
Message was edited by:

The databases are running in archive mode.
Daily we do an on-line backup at 10pm.
We have an incremental tape backup of our system every night.
On saturday, I manually shutdown the databases and I copy the ORADATA files to a directory that is backup with our full tape backup during saturday night.
It's this procedure that I want to automate.
I can only create one backup procedure in EM console.
So my question is, how can I create an extra weekly off-line (with shutdown and restart of the databases) backup thats runs automatically.

RMAN archive backup takes more than 1 hour.

Hello,
We execute the following command from HP Data Protector 5.50 in order to backup archives from an Oracle 8.1.7 database running in HP-UX 11.00:
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
allocate channel 'dev_2' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
sql 'alter system switch logfile'
sql 'alter system archive log current'
backup
filesperset 1
format 'Oracle_Archivers_Inf<inf_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-2'
delete input;
backup
filesperset 1
format 'Oracle_Archivers_Inf<inf_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog all;
This process takes more than 2 hours for just 3 GB and we don't think this is network issue.
Is our RMAN command doing more thinks than just archives backup?
Almost at the end of backup we get following message:
Default exp binary /INF/oracle/app/product/8.1.7/bin/exp/ is used for catalog export.
Does this message mean an export is done at the end of archive backup?
Note that message belongs it is more than 2 hours later.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Carles

Yes, it appears one of your utilities is doing an export backup, check HP Data Protector settings.

Hello Shishir,
It looks as if the issue is with the permissions of saparch directory,
Check the permissions of oracle/QBS/saparch/archQBS and /oracle/QBS/920_64 oracle_profile /oracle/QBS/920_64/dbs/initQBS.ora directories and compare with the production server
Also make sure that initQBS.ora is present in the location specified

Proper Backup Procedures with External Hard Drives

I use external firewire drives for all of my photos and I have a quick question about backup procedures. I currently use Intego's Personal Backup X5 software solution and I wanted to know whether it is better to backup your files or Sync your files when making duplicate drives?

Aperture's vault function will "sync" your library with your vault. This means that the vault will only hold one specific version of your library, which is fine for most users. The vault file will be more or less the same size as your Aperture library file.
If you want to make incremental backup of your library (which will allow you to restore specific versions of your library) then you could take a look at "Backup 3" which can be downloaded in a trail version here:
http://www.mac.com/1/solutions/backup.html
Incremental backup will mean that your initial backup file plus all your incremental backup files will fill up more space on your harddisk than the size of your Aperture library. (incremental = adding)

Log file sync during RMAN archive backup

Hi,
I have a small question. I hope someone can answer it.
Our database(cluster) needs to have a response within 0.5 seconds. Most of the time it works, except when the RMAN backup is running.
During the week we run one time a full backup, every weekday one incremental backup, every hour a controlfile backup and every 15 minutes an archival backup.
During a backup reponse time can be much longer then this 0.5 seconds.
Below an typical example of responsetime.
EVENT: log file sync
WAIT_CLASS: Commit
TIME_WAITED: 10,774
It is obvious that it takes very long to get a commit. This is in seconds. As you can see this is long. It is clearly related to the RMAN backup since this kind of responsetime comes up when the backup is running.
I would like to ask why response times are so high, even if I only backup the archivelog files? We didn't have this problem before but suddenly since 2 weeks we have this problem and I can't find the problem.
- We use a 11.2G RAC database on ASM. Redo logs and database files are on the same disks.
- Autobackup of controlfile is off.
- Dataguard: LogXptMode = 'arch'
Greetings,

Hi,
Thank you. I am new here and so I was wondering how I can put things into the right category. It is very obvious I am in the wrong one so I thank the people who are still responding.
-Actually the example that I gave is one of the many hundreds a day. The respone times during the archive backup is most of the time between 2 and 11 seconds. When we backup the controlfile with it, it is for sure that these will be the response times.
-The autobackup of the controfile is put off since we already have also a backup of the controlfile every hour. As we have a backup of archivefiles every 15 minutes it is not necessary to also backup the controlfile every 15 minutes, specially if that even causes more delay. Controlfile is a lifeline but if you have properly backupped your archivefiles, a full restore with max 15 minutes of data loss is still possible. We put autobackup off since it is severely in the way of performance at the moment.
As already mentioned for specific applications the DB has to respond in 0,5 seconds. When it doesn’t happen then an entry will be written in a table used by that application. So I can compare the time of failure with the time of something happening. The times from the archivelog backup and the failure match in 95% of the cases. It also show that log file sync at that moment is also part of this performance issue. I actually built a script that I used for myself to determine out of the application what the cause is of the problem;
select ASH.INST_ID INST,
ASH.EVENT EVENT,
ASH.P2TEXT,
ASH.WAIT_CLASS,
DE.OWNER OWNER,
DE.OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_NAME,
DE.OBJECT_TYPE OBJECT_TYPE,
ASH.TIJD,
ASH.TIME_WAITED TIME_WAITED
from (SELECT INST_ID,
EVENT,
CURRENT_OBJ#,
ROUND(TIME_WAITED / 1000000,3) TIME_WAITED,
TO_CHAR(SAMPLE_TIME, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') TIJD,
WAIT_CLASS,
P2TEXT
FROM gv$active_session_history
WHERE PROGRAM IN ('yyyyy', 'xxxxx')) ASH,
(SELECT OWNER, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE, OBJECT_ID FROM DBA_OBJECTS) DE
WHERE DE.OBJECT_id = ASH.CURRENT_OBJ#
AND ASH.TIME_WAITED > 2
ORDER BY 8,6
- Our logfiles are 250M and we have 8 groups of 2 members.
- Large pool is not set since we use memory_max_target and memory_target . I know that Oracle maybe doesn’t use memory well with this parameter so it is truly a thing that I should look into.
- I looked for the size of the logbuffer. Actually our logbuffer is 28M which in my opinion is very large so maybe I should put it even smaller. It is very well possible that the logbuffer is causing this problem. Thank you for the tip.
- I will also definitely look into the I/O. Eventhough we work with ASM on raid 10 I don’t think it is wise to put redo logs and datafiles on the same disks. Then again, it is not installed by me. So, you are right, I have to investigate.
Thank you all very much for still responding even if I put this in the totally wrong category.
Greetings,

Archive backup issue

Hi ,
We are taking archive backup using rman but all the archive is not deleted after backup.only few archive is delete
Please help on this
OS is window and database verion is 10g
Below is the script for takinhg a backup
run

No evidence with respect to your assertion exists in your post.
These two commands
backup filesperset 20 format 'ARC%S_%R.%T' (archivelog like 'T:\ARCHIVE\ARC%');
delete noprompt archivelog all backed up 1 times to sbt_tape ;are potentially contradictory, but as you also don't provide the log_archive_format parameter who can tell.
This forum is about providing help. In order to be able to help people asking help need to provide sufficient information.
You don't ask for help, you ask to solve a riddle, without providing a webcam.

Hi kvl
Check the parameter AUDIT_FILE_DEST. This will point to a directory which has to exist and be writable by the orasid account.
Do you want to have an audit trail for you SAP database? Are you ever going to us it? If not, another option is to turn it off with another parameter, audit_trail = none.

Hot backup procedure

Hello, I have a database that takes in between 80 to 600 transactions per day through an external feed. I need to implement a hot backup that will run once a day. I don't need to do point in time recovery because I can restore from the prior nightly backup and then replay the tlog file from the external feed. What is the best way to implement a hot backup. Is it as simple as running a sql procedure that will loop through all the tablespaces and put them in backup mode and then copy them to another location? I am open to all and any recommendations. The database is Oracle 9.2.0.1 running on Windows 2000 or 2003 server. Please provide any scripts if you can. Thank you and have a great day!
David

Of course, you could also use a simple RMAN script, depending on what you are trying to achieve exactly:
RUN
allocate channel c01 type disk format 'c:\backup\%d%U';
backup database;
backup archivelog all delete input;
}This is just a sample. And you need to choose how you'll use RMAN.

Hi,
i think It seems to be a cause of incorrect authorizations/roles. Please check the following two methods
1)Make sure that directory or executables like SAPDBA,
BRBACKUP, BRARCHIVE, BRRESTORE, BRRECOVER, BRCONNECT
and BRTOOLS have correct authorizations
Please refer the snote: 113747.
2)Run the sapdaba role to update the proper authorizations
Oracle 10g: sqlplus /nolog @sapdba_role <SID>
you can get it from \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run folder
Regards,
Venkat

Archive table -Procedure

Hello Experts,
I have developed a store procedure to archive of old data for a huge table. Before deleting a row from the table, inserts the same row in another table. I need to schedule the same through dbms_job for daily execution.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Proc1 AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
success_flag varchar2(1);
total1 NUMBER := 0;
CURSOR c1 IS SELECT rowid,col1,col2 from table1 WHERE CREATE_DATE < sysdate -120;
BEGIN
FOR z IN c1
LOOP
INSERT INTO table2 values(z.val1,val2 …);
success_flag :='T';
if success_flag ='T' then
COMMIT;
DELETE FROM table1
WHERE rowid = z.rowid;
COMMIT;
ELSE
ROLLBACK;
END IF;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
success_flag:= 'F';
END;
END;
Please help me to handle the space related issues through this procedure. Please let me know any better approach to achieve the same.
Thanks in Advance,
Bala

Don't know what FileNet is. Why can't you partition it?
Anyway, if you must use insert/delete technique then why not
insert into table2
select <whatever>
from table1
where create_date < sysdate -120;
delete from table1
where create_date < sysdate -120;Also, do NOT commit between those two statements. If your procedure aborts during the delete
it would roll back the delete but not the insert. When you restart the procedure it will insert again.
Get rid of useless success flag as well.
Also, remove the exception section: it adds nothing useful and hides the real error.

IMovie - Best Way to Archive & BackUp Projects

Hi All,
I'd like to move some iMovie projects from my MacBook Pro HD to an external FireWire drive (or maybe two). What's the best strategy to do this? I'll need to be able to access and work on the archived files (to produce for example different language versions) easily. I guess one of the main things is how to I tell iMovie where to look for the archived project files? Any help would be much appreciated.
Phil

To move a project to an external disk, it must be done within iMovie. Click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see all your properly formatted disks in the Project Library and in the Event Library along the left side of iMovie.
Note: Disks must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) for Imovie to see them.
Now, you should see your projects listed under your internal drive in the iMovie Project Library. To move to an external disk. hold don the Command key while dragging the small project icon to the small icon for the external drive.
A similar process works for moving Event files (which are the large files). Hold down the Command Key as you drag the small icon for the Event to the small icon for the external drive in the Event Library List in iMovie.
Another really good way to do this is to use the File/Consolidate Media command. First you move the Project to the external drive, just as I mentioned above. Then, select the project in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONSOLIDATE MEDIA. iMovie will offer to move or copy Event Files. It will also offer to place a copy of any photos, music files, etc. on the external disk (although it will not move the originals out of iPhoto or iTunes). This has the advantage of making your archive on the external drive self contained. You can plug this external drive into any Mac running iMovie 11 and edit your project.
