Archivelog mode Configuration

Hi
I am using Oracle10g , and OS is Windows XP. i had tried to enable it to archive mode by using the following
SQL> SELECT LOG_MODE FROM SYS.V$DATABASE;
LOG_MODE
NOARCHIVELOG
Then by adding the following lines in the Pfile
$ORACLE_HOME/admin/SID/pfile. I'll add the following lines to the end of the file:
# Archive Log Destinations -benr(10/15/04)
log_archive_dest_1='location=/u02/oradata/cuddle/archive'
log_archive_start=TRUE
startup the database in mount mode and put it in archivelog mode
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database archivelog;
Database altered.
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
SQL> select log_mode from v$database;
LOG_MODE
ARCHIVELOG
when i log in to the db, i only can log in as sys user.when log in as sys user i got this error :
"ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only,until freed."
What's the possible problem? And how to solve it?

hi surya,
i think your are not using your pfile during startup, and the changes you have made to your pfile does not take effect.
the parameter log_archive_start=TRUE is no longer supported in 10g.you should get a notification of parameter deprecated during startup.
you issued the command : startup , so your pfile is not being used.
you should issue : archive log list to see your archive destination
if it is default, it should be db_recovery_file_dest
next issue show parameter db_recovery_file_dest
check the space availability of the directory by issuing df -h, df -k
you can manually removed your old archive log but after you need to perform crosscheck from rman.
best practise is to do it using rman during your scheduled backup.

Put database in archivelog mode

I know how to do it.
using oracle 9.2.0.8 on AIX 5.3
My question is that can I mention a different location
my database installed in /opt/oracle/product/9.2
datafiles/control files and redolof files
in /var/data/oracle/product/9.2/orcl
I want archive to be in
/var/data/oracle/product/9.2
How can I do this
please suggest

Is this standard or enterprise edition?
On the enterprise edition you can use the log_archive_dest_N (n=1..10) instance parameter file to configure up to ten different locations. As an example, you would configure: log_archive_dest_1="location=/var/data/oracle/product/9.2 mandatory" You have to configure log_archive_format as well (unless you want the default format mask); log_archive_format=arch%S.arc and the log_archive_start parameter to true.
Shutdown normal or immediate your database. Once it is shutdown start it up to the mount state:
startup mount
and issue the alter command:
ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG
open your database and you will be working on archivelog mode.
If you are on a standard edition, just proceed as previously indicated, the difference is that log_archive_dest_N parameter is not available, and you can define up to two different file locations, parameters are:
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST, LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST
and to indicate mandatory or optional, you'll have to use the LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST instance parameter.

Arivelog mode configuration proble in RAC database

Hi,
I'm trying to configure RAC database in archivelog mode but when try to do so get the following error, during the database startup in mount state
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
This error shows that the system could not find the initorcl.ora and really it does not exist. But the system at this stage is single
instance as I chenged the value of cluster_database=false before shutdown and then start.
when I enter the command startup mount it give me this error. What should I do to avoid it. Should I make a pfile of this from spfile in cluster mode
and then put this pfile in the desired path to start the single instance or any other thing should I tried.
Regards,

Perform the following steps to relocate the SPFILE from the local file system to an ASM disk group.
    * Create a text-based initialization parameter file from the current binary SPFILE located on the local file system:
      SQL> CREATE PFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora'
        2 FROM SPFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora';
      File created.
    * Create new SPFILE in an ASM disk group:
      SQL> CREATE SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora'
        2 FROM PFILE='$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora';
      File created.
    * Shutdown the Oracle database:
      SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
      Database closed.
      Database dismounted.
      ORACLE instance shut down.
    * Update the text-based init<SID>.ora file with the new location of the SPFILE in ASM:
      $ echo "SPFILE='+TESTDB_DATA1/TESTDB/spfileTESTDB.ora'" > $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTESTDB.ora
    * Remove (actually rename) the old SPFILE on the local file system so that the new text-based init<SID>.ora will be used:
      $ mv $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileTESTDB.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/BACKUP_ASM.spfileTESTDB.ora
    * Open the Oracle database using the new SPFILE:

Archivelog Mode / init.ora file

Hi,
Maybe someone can help me out. I am presently trying to set up a dev server that has 3 or 4 databases on it. The first database is installed by the Oracle installation kit. The 2nd one that I am now trying to configure is giving me the following error: Ora-01126: database must be mounted EXCLUSIVE and not open for this operation. I am also setting it up for archiving.
When I do a SELECT * from V$database; the answer comes back that it is in noarchivelog mode. I even edited the init.ora file in both the pfile folder and the ora81/database folder and yet the answer is still the same. I even rebooted it with the same results. I understand that the database is in exclusive mode by default. Does this have anything to do with Parrelizm (spelling). I tried altering the database to archivelog mode but with no results.
Any ideas? Im at a loss.
Thanks for your time.
Al

Hi Al,
try to startup the db with startup mount or startup read only and try
the alter command again.
Normally it should work then!

Force logging in archivelog mode

Hi !!!
What happen if I have "force_logging" parameter set to true when the database is in archivelog mode ?
Thanks.

Hi Juamd,
You should only use this option when it is really required because this option will forcibly generate redo for all Nologging operations that means you might find more archives and you need to setup more space for archive.
Normally we use this option when we need to replicate data changes from one database to another database like in standby configuration, Golden Gate replication etc. I would suggest you to monitor Redo amount generated after enabling this option and accordingly estimate archive space and backup space for archive.
Thanks...Ah, don't agree with that at all. You can compromise your recovery if you happen to want to restore to a point-in-time when there was a NOLOGGING operation going on. Fine, if it's an index, but if it happens to be on a table...
(Yes, been there, done that - with a non-Production database, thankfully)
This is one of the 'must haves', IMO, for Production - set it at the database-level and it overrides any tablespace or object setting.
Archivelogs are generated for a reason. If you have a particular operation that really does massively benefit from NOLOGGING and is something you are sure that you simply re-run/re-create yourself, fine. If not, by default, you really should FORCE LOGGING.

Problem running oracle 9i database in archivelog mode - database freezes

Greetings,
I recently needed to change a (test) database to archivelog mode to make online back-ups of this database. This posed no real problem although I seem to be unable to set the database to automatic archiving eventhough I edited the init.ora file (translation of the "archive log list" output between square brackets):
SQL> archive log list
Databaselogmodus Archiveermodus [Databaselogmode: Archivemode]
Automatisch archiveren Gedeactiveerd [Automatic archiving: Deactivated]
Archiveerbestemming O:\oracle\ora92\RDBMS [Archivedestionation: O:\oracle\ora92\RDBMS]
Oudste on-line logreeks 12306
Volgende logreeks voor archivering 12306
Huidige logreeks 12308
I added this to my init.ora file:
# Archvie Log Destinations
log_archive_start=TRUE
log_archive_dest_1=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\archive
log_archive_format="%%ORACLE_SID%%t_%s.arc"
However, this is not the real problem (maybe it has something to do with it, which is why I mention it aswell), the real problem is that my database freezes when the archive log file is "full". When the archive file reaches ~102.400Kb it just freezes up and I need to restart the database.
The following error is written to the alert_sid.log file:
Thu Apr 17 09:19:55 2008
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 12309
All online logs needed archiving
Current log# 2 seq# 12308 mem# 0: O:\ORACLE\ORADATA\O\REDO02.LOG
The problem seems to be that the oracle service can't start a new logfile when the previous one is full. Does anybody know how I could fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Bram

Hello Maran, thanks for your quick response.
I added the output of archivelog list in the original post, but it's in dutch so here's the (loose) translation of the output:
SQL> archive log list
Databaselog mode Archive mode
Automatic archiving Deactivated
Archive destionation O:\oracle\ora92\RDBMS
Oldest on-line logsequence 12307
Next logsequence for archiving 12307
Current logsequence 12309
Maybe something that can help with the troubleshooting:
The archivelog file is written to O:\oracle\ora92\RDBMS but only AFTER the reboot, I've checked SYSTEM rights to the folder and it has full control.
Babu, thanks aswell for your quick response.
The location exists and space is available but the database doesn't seem to load (that part of) the ora.init file because the output of archive log list still refers to %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms instead of %ORACLE_HOME%\database\archive.
I've now executed alter system archive log all; and am executing the import where the database usually freezes to see if it still happens. So far I already had this written to the alert_sid.log file after executing the command:
Completed: alter database open
Thu Apr 17 10:00:11 2008
ARCH: Evaluating archive log 1 thread 1 sequence 12307
ARCH: Beginning to archive log 1 thread 1 sequence 12307

And new log files were written to the directory (O:\oracle\ora92\RDBMS) and this time I didn't have to reboot for it to happen. Both were 100mb files without the database actually doing all that much though.

Restore database in archivelog mode

Hello everyone.
I've been looking on google, how to restore my database on archivelog mode, but i did not succeed.
I made my backup using this mode, and now i need to know what is the command need to use to restore this.
Somebody can write the command here please ?
Thanks for help.

Dan
ps: Using Oracle 10g XE on Win XP.

And about the users ?
i need to create the "same" user in another machine ?
For example:
In this machine i using the "system" user, where i have my tables.
Another machine, when i restore, my tables will go to the "system" user too? or i can choice? or i need to create one?A true backup is a copy of the data files at the file/block level. The restore is therefore a restore of the data files/blocks. Applying the redo (archive logs) is also done at the block level. None of that knows or cares (or needs to know or care) about logical objects (such as users, tablespaces, tables, rows, etc) within the database. so if you do a proper restore, you are restoring files to a consistent state and thus everything that was defined within those files will be there when restored.

Database in Archivelog mode

Hi
All,
I have oracle 9.2.0.6 at my workplace.right now my database running in ARCHIVELOG MODE. I want to set it to NOARCHIVELOG MODE.
can I do on the fly? in other way, Do I need to shutdown and restart database?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

Hi,
Issue the following commands to put a database into NOARCHVELOG mode:
1) Take Back up of Present SPfile by creating pfile
create pfile from present spfile.
2) Shutdown the database by SUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.
3) Take Cold backup of the database.
4) Change the parameter in the pfile.
log_archive_start = FALSE
#log_archive_dest_1 = 'LOCATION='Your location'
log_archive_dest_state_1 = DISABLE
#log_archive_format = %d_%t_%s.arc
5) And make a spfile from the modified pfile in default location .
6) Start the database with spfile.
SQL> CONNECT sys AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT ;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
SQL> ARCHIVE LOG START;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
NOTE 1: Remember to take a baseline database backup right after disabling archivelog mode. Without it one would not be able to recover.

Problem in Converting Database into Archivelog mode (Oracle 10G)

Hi Team,
I come across a strange problem in the ORACLE 10G Server.
I am converting database mode from NoArchivelog to Archivelog mode through RMAN in 10G.
Now When I execute these following commands through RMAN prompt it works properly as shown below?

.

export ORACLE_SID=<SID>
rman target /cmdfile="C:\ORACLE~2\BACKUP\backup.ora"
it will connect to the default SID, there's no such thing as a default SID, what do you mean?
But what if there are more that one SID available & I
want to connect to SID other than the default SID.just specify the desired SID prior starting rman.
more over the same string is working with 9i but not
with 10G.maybe due to a bug?
to summarize, you have two options it you would like to start up the instance:
either you specify the SID prior starting rman and use os authentication
or
you register the instance statically and use oracle authentication.

Database crashes when placed in Archivelog mode

My production database continues to crash when I place it in Archivelog mode. This happen especially during the period most of the heavy jobs is running. On the other hand, I created a clone of this very same database on another server in Archivelog mode and it is running great. It’s also honest to say the jobs that run on the production are not running in the clone.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Why we need oracle database reboot to put database in archivelog mode?

I know how to enable archivelog mode, but what is the reason that to enable archive log we need database restart. which process forces to do that.

Thanks a lot EdStevens for ur prompt response...I need something that satisfies my managers query.
If the question has originated with the PHB, then my flippant answer is even more relevant ...
PHB's are incapable of understanding the technical details, so I prefer to give them the 'executive summary':
"Because that's the way Oracle is written. We can argue over the technical merits of such a requirement 'till the cows come home. But at the end of the day, we have to shut down the database because the 'alter database archivelog' command will only succeed when the database is in mount (not open) mode. Now, let's work out how we can achieve our objective of putting the database in archivelog mode with minimal and appropriately scheduled down time."
As for the actual down time, it's about as minimal as you can get. How long does it take your database to complete a shutdown once the command is given? How long does it take you to type "startup mount"? How long does it take you to type "alter database archivelog"? to type "alter database open;"? For the database to complete the 'open' process? You could even script it so as to eliminate the keyboard typing time.

Archivelog mode in oracle 9i

what are the process to keep archivelog mode in oracle 9i
senthil

alter system set log_archive_dest='path....' scope=spfile;From TFM:For Enterprise Edition users, this parameter has been deprecated in favor
of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters. If Oracle Enterprise Edition is not installed or
it is installed, but you have not specified any LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters, this
parameter is valid.Yoann.

Archivelog mode

I'd like to make sure of the following:
when the database works in noarchivelog mode it does not matter what's the value of log_archive_start parameter whether it is true or false .I mean if log_archive_start in this case is set to true it won't archive the full redolog files because the database is in noarchive mode,Am i right?
Thanks in advance.

The parameter archive_log_start controls whether or not the Archiver (arcN) process is started at database startup or not. If you are not in archivelog mode, then it is immaterial. If you are in archive log mode, then if archive_log_start is false, you will have to manually archive redo logs as the fill, otherwise the system will stop after it fills the last archive log.
Unless you are running a read only database, and know that it will never ever be modified (I have two such databases holding data from legacy systems), then you might as well set archive_log_start to TRUE. One day, you are going to want to put that test database into archivelog mode for some reason or another, and users screan really loudly when the system "hangs" because all the redo logs are filled.
Been there, done that, got the earplugs.

How to use OEM grid control to find any database not in archivelog mode?

Hello,
currently we have 130 databases, say, if I want to pick out any database currently NOT in archivelog mode, is there a quick way to find out ?
by using OEM grid control
or
some trick similar,
but really don't need to check each database manually.
thank you very much!

    ));Another way to achieve the goal is to push extended metrics (SELECT LOG_MODE FROM V$DATABASE) on each DB, and monitor the values they return to the repository. This is an example for a (slightly) different problem - http://iiotzov.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/how-to-use-the-new-oem-12c-metric-extensions-to-enforce-enterprise-wide-custom-policies .
OEM Repository has many other great uses as well - http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/oem-repository-a-second-look.doc , http://iiotzov.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/iotzov_oem_repository.pdf

Can we put RAC database in Archivelog mode without shutting down

All,
Can we put RAC database in Archivelog mode without shutting down.
Currently our new production database (2 node RAC) is in no archive log mode, Need to enable archive log in the database...
I believe we need to set the cluster_database=false and then put the DB in archive log mode then we need to bounce the database to take effect...
Just curious to know in 11gR2 ...Can we put the RAC database in archive log mode without any downtime ...?

Even RAC or non-RAC, database should bounced and enable/disable archive log mode from mount status.
