  • How archive infostructures are filled when the delete program runs(sd_cond)

    I could not find a suitable forum for this, hence posting it here. I need to know how the ZARIX tables get filled in SAP Archiving. As far as I know, they are filled automaticlaly when the delete job runs, but I could not find any code in SD_COND_ARCH_DELETE program.
    My issue is that my delete program did not fill one of the infostructures which was active and this infostructure corresponds to the zarix table. On the other hand, this infostructure got filled manually(verified in zarix also).
    Wondering how this could have happened. Can this be because multiple delete jobs are running creating various sessions. This is mainly with reference to the SD_COND archive object.

    Hi,
    There is a separate program to fill infostructures as when you fill them manually (Transaction SARJ, Environment -> Fill Structure) a new job is triggered. Have a look at the job that ran when you filled your infostructure manually and analyse the program that ran.
    There should not be any problem in filling the infostructures due to several archiving sessions running at the same time. If you face the same issue again, see if any of the archiving jobs (write, store, delete) failed for any reason. If all the jobs finished successfully but an infostructure didn't get filled then have a look for any OSS note related to this issue. If you can't find anything, raise an SAP message as the infostructures have to get filled automatically as otherwise there will be no access to the archived data.
    Hope this helps.

  • What order are Archive logs restored in when RMAN recover database issued

    Ok, you have a run block that has restored your level-0 RMAN backup.
    Your base datafiles are down on disc.
    You are about to start recovery to point in time, lets say until this morning at 07:00am.
    run {   set until time "TO_DATE('2010/06/08_07:00:00','YYYY/MM/DD_HH24:MI:SS')";
    allocate channel d1 type disk;
    allocate channel d2 type disk;
    allocate channel d3 type disk;
    allocate channel d4 type disk;
    recover database;
    So the above runs, it analyses the earlies SCN required for recovery, checks for incremental backups (none here), works out the archivelog range
    required and starts to restore the archive logs. All as expected and works.
    My question: Is there a particular order that RMAN will restore the archive logs and is the restore / recover process implemented as per the run block.
    i.e Will all required archive logs based on the run block be restored and then the database recovered forward. Or is there something in RMAN that says restore these archive logs, ok now roll forwards, restore some more.
    When we were doing this the order of the archive logs coming back seemed to be random but obviously constrained by the run block. Is this an area we need to tune to get recoveries faster for situations where incrementals are not available?
    Any inputs on experience welcome. I am now drilling into the documentation for any references there.
    Thanks

    Hi there, thanks for the response I checked this and here are the numbers / time stamps on an example:
    This is from interpreting the list backup of archivelog commands.
    Backupset = 122672
    ==============
    Archive log sequence 120688 low time: 25th May 15:53:07 next time: 25th May 15:57:54
    Piece1 pieceNumber=123368 9th June 04:10:38 <-- catalogued by us.
    Piece2 pieceNumber=122673 25th May 16:05:18 <-- Original backup on production.
    Backupset = 122677
    ==============
    Archive log sequence 120683 low time: 25th May 15:27:50 Next time 25th May 15:32:24 <-- lower sequence number restored after above.
    Piece1 PieceNumber=123372 9th June 04:11:34 <-- Catalogued by us.
    Piece2 PieceNumber=122678 25th May 16:08:45 <-- Orignial backup on Production.
    So the above would show that if catalogue command you could influence the Piece numbering. Therefore the restore order if like you say piece number is the key. I will need to review production as to why they were backed up in different order completed on production. Would think they would use the backupset numbering and then piece within the set / availability.
    Question: You mention archive logs are restored and applied and deleted in batches if the volume of archivelogs is large enough to be spread over multiple backup sets. What determines the batches in terms of size / number?
    Thanks for inputs. Answers some questions.

  • How to Keep all the Portal report menu's are "open" when the user logs on?

    Hi
    I have a question about the BI Portalu2019s configuration.  Does anyone know how to keep the Web Portal (i-vew) report menu's are "open" when the user logs on?
    Thanks.

  • Archive logs are being shipped, but are not applied

    Hi everyone,
    Some strange things are happening when I try to configure an Oracle Data Guard setup. Currently I am at the point where the configuration has been completed, and I just need to sync the standby database to the primary one. I can see in the log files that the archive logs are being shipped, but they are not applied on the standby system.
    If I run "recover standby database;" manually in sqlplus I can see that it is trying to apply an archive log which is way too old (ORA-00279: change 9656498443 generated at 04/29/2008 08:45:08 needed for thread 1).
    In the alert log I can also see this error: Warning: Recovery target destination is in a sibling branch of the controlfile checkpoint. Recovery will only recover changes to datafiles.
    At this point I was thinking that the standby database might be on a different incarnation compared to the primary, but this is not the case, they are both in incarnation 6:
    6       6       MVF      4023175798       CURRENT 48493546257 13-06-21
    Does anyone have an idea how this could happen, and how I could fix this issue?
    Thanks, JM.

    The restore did not cause any errors to be displayed, so I assumed everything was ok.
    That's fair enough. 
    One thing I think might cause this behaviour is that the backup on the primary database is incremental,
    Yes...that may be an issue.  Best bet is to re-run your standby creation.....as you are doing.
    With version 11gR2 you also have the option of duplicate from active database which negates the need to copy your backupsets over to do the restore:  I find it a much simpler process than the rman backup, copy files over, restore and then recover process.
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/data-guard-setup-11gr2.php
    Something worth considering.

  • How to determine which archive logs are needed in flashback.

    Hi,
    Let's assume I have archive logs 1,2,3,4, then a "backup database plus archivelogs" in RMAN, and then archive logs 5+6. If I want to flashback my database to a point immediately after the backup, how do I determine which archive logs are needed?
    I would assume I'd only need archive logs 5 and/or 6 since I did a full backup plus archivelogs and the database would have been checkpointed at that time. I'd also assume archive logs 1,2,3,4 would be obsolete as they would have been flushed to the datafiles in the checkpoint.
    Are my assumptions correct? If not what queries can I run to determine what files are needed for a flashback using the latest checkpointed datafiles?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the explanation, let me be more specific with my problem.
    I am trying to do a flashback on a failed primary database, the only reason why I want to do a flashback is because dataguard uses the flashback command to try and synchronize the failed database. Specifically dataguard is trying to run:
    FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984
    But it fails, if I run it manually then I get:
    SQL> FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984;
    FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 865984
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-38754: FLASHBACK DATABASE not started; required redo log is not available
    ORA-38761: redo log sequence 5 in thread 1, incarnation 3 could not be accessed
    Looking at the last checkpoint I see:
    CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#
    865857
    Also looking at the archive logs:
    RECID STAMP THREAD# SEQUENCE# FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM NEXT_CHANGE# RESETLOGS_CHANGE# RESETLOGS
    25 766838550 1 1 863888 10-NOV-11 863892 863888 10-NOV-11
    26 766838867 1 2 863892 10-NOV-11 864133 863888 10-NOV-11
    27 766839225 1 3 864133 10-NOV-11 864289 863888 10-NOV-11
    28 766839340 1 4 864289 10-NOV-11 864336 863888 10-NOV-11
    29 766840698 1 5 864336 10-NOV-11 865640 863888 10-NOV-11
    30 766841128 1 6 865640 10-NOV-11 865833 863888 10-NOV-11
    31 766841168 1 7 865833 10-NOV-11 865857 863888 10-NOV-11
    How can I determine what archive logs are needed by a flashback command? I deleted any archive logs with a SCN less than the checkpoint #, I can restore them from backup but I am trying to figure out how to query what is required for a flashback. Maybe this coincides with the point that flashbacks have nothing to do with the backups of datafiles or the checkpoints?

  • Best way of deleting archive logs on standby when backup taken on primary

    Hello,
    I have a 11gr2 dataguard configuration without the broker.
    main problem in my particular situation arises from my FRA size on primary much more than on standby (90Gb vs 30Gb) and in some situations I'm constrained with FRA space on standby.... I'm going to align the FRAs but in the mean time....
    can anyone confirm that if I have configuration as in subject with maximum performance mode and I'm not using the broker I should consider a sort of "external" way for archive log deletion on the physical standby?
    In fact I'm setting on primary
    - retention policy = redundancy 1
    - archivelog deletion = applied on standby (without using any "backed up...." option)
    Considering the standby it seems from docs that:
    - retention policy always wins over deletion policy (so no archive eligible for deletion is deleted if retention is not satisfied)
    - I can set on standby archivelog deletion = applied on standby (without using any "backed up...." option)
    But it is not clear to me the effect of this config in case this is a standby itself and without any other cascade standby databases
    The manual says this has to be met:
    1) The archived redo log files have been applied to the required standby databases.
    ---> what does this mean in case the db is a standby.. met or not met as I have no other cascade standby dependant on this one?
    2) The logs are not needed by the BACKED UP ... TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE deletion policy. If the BACKED UP policy is not set, then this condition is always met.
    ---> I should be ok
    So the last question for standby is
    - what to set retention policy to?
    I have not understood if I set it to "NONE", this means no retention at all or retention for ever....
    sometimes I read that there is no policy; in other examples that files will be retained forever (because no file considered as obsolete).... or at least so I understood...
    I would like to have a sort of policy on standby where the archive logs can be deleted as soon as they are applied during the continuous media recovery phase...
    It seems I can't find a self contained set of configurations across the dataguard....
    Thanks in advance.
    Gianluca

    I agree with you.... It is a temporary contingency....
    I already stressed the fact that sizes between sites must be quite identical...
    we are going towards a production dataguard, migrating from a windows config (without it) to a Linux based config....
    but this contingency made me think about these considerations regarding policies and automatic dataguard operations
    I also stressed on equal size grow capability for both sites file systems, also for data tablespaces, so that for example in case of high fragmentation we have to avoid a limit situation where
    1) a file system full for DR datafiles causes abend of automatic media recovery
    2) this generates FRA growth in DR because archive logs are shipped but not applied any more
    3) FRA goes 100% in DR and primary cannot ship any more
    4) archive logs cannot be automatically deleted on primary because not already shipped
    5) FRA full on primary and DB hangs....
    Thanks anyway for input

  • How the Payload Message and Logs are stored in the B1i Database Table: BZSTDOC

    I would appreciate it if someone could provide any documentation regarding B1i database further maintenance.
    for example:
    I want to know how the payload message and logs are stored in the table BZSTDOC, and how can we retrieve the payload message directly from the column DOCDATA.
    As described in the B1iSNGuide05 3.2 LogGarbageCollection:
    to avoid the overload of the B1i Database, I set the Backup Buffer to 90 days : so this means Message Logs from the last 90 days will always be available, but is there some way we can save those old messages to a disk so that I can retrieve the payload message anytime?
    in addition, let’s assume the worst, the B1iSN server or the B1i database damaged, Can we just simply restore the B1i database from a latest backup DB then it can work automatically after the B1iSN server is up and running again?

  • TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

    My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

    Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

    Try booting the Recovery Partition.  Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys.  Is the screen still black?  If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs.  Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
    If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2.  It has a fix for black screen problems.

  • CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changed when the PDF is saved.

    CS6 Illustrator and InDesign colours are changing when the saved PDFs are displayed on some different computers and for digital print output. I have ensured that the colours are all CMYK and tried different adjustments like preserving the numbers and the like but nothing is working. It prints properly on my inkjet and has displayed properly on different computers.

    You need to read up on color management, color profiles and all that....

  • Archive gap in 9.2, archive logs are gone

    Hi all,
    I've got an old 9.2.0.6 DataGuard setup, it's been running fine for years. We recently had to move our DR server to a new datacenter, so it got shut down, shipped and brought back up. The database came up fine, but now I see that I've got a gap where I'm missing 3 archive logs. And of course, something got screwed up on the primary database server, to the point that I don't have a backup of those archive logs, and they are not on the server (or the DR server). They got deleted, and they are GONE.
    So now I have to figure out the quickest/easiest way to get this resolved. I was thinking I could do an incremental backup on the primary server, from the proper SCN number. But now that I am looking at it, it looks like the 9i RMAN didn't have this feature (looks like it was introduced in the 10g RMAN).
    So at this point, is my only option to drop and re-create the DR database? Any other way to get around this?
    I appreciate any help!!

    Hello,
    No other way in 9i even when archives are no more exist.
    You have to recreate entire setup. :(
    Of course as you said incremental SCN it's of 10g. So go and re-build.

  • On Windows Server 2008, local account passwords are reset when the server is rebooted. Why, and how do we fix?

    We are running a commercial application on a Windows 2008 Server. After reboot, we cannot access the application because two services fail to start. The reason they fail to start is that the passwords to the local user accounts tied to those services have
    either been deleted or reset to a different value. In order to restart the application, we must reset the passwords of these two local accounts, then stop and restart all the application's services.  According to the application's maker, the accounts
    must be local.
    My colleague believes the passwords are being deleted or reset as a result of a global domain policy.  Is this likely?
    Assuming my colleague is correct, is there anything we can do locally to prevent these passwords from being deleted or reset when the server reboots?  If not, what is the most granular change we can ask our AD adminstrators to make to the policy, so
    that these local accounts are not touched at reboot.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    have you configured the accounts to have the permission "Log on as a service"? I have seen that this is not given to the account and therefore the service fails to start.
