Archiver is unable to archive a redo log because the output device is full

Dear Experts,
When I logged to EM of my DB 11g R2. I found the following:
- Database Instance Status : Down
- Details
The instance has been terminated by a database process because of a fatal internal condition, or a critical background process was killed by the user.
Archiver is unable to archive a redo log because the output device is full or unavailable.
- Agent Connection to Instance
Status: Failed
Details: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
Thank you in advance for any help you provide
Best Regards

Standby receiving redo logs although the log_archive_dest_n were wronly...

Hi,
The Primary site has two servers, each with one instance, using RAC.
The Standby site has another two servers and two instances using also RAC.
This is a logical Standby database, the Dataguard is working fine and the data is being replicated.
This is the configuration of the second instance of the Standby site (Server1b)

Here the configuration does not make sense at all. So, how is it possible that this Server (Server1b) is receiving redo logs from the Primary site?
Thank you.

Clearing Online redo logs on the target physical standby

Hi,
Version 11202.
Primary on machine A
Standby on machine B
Following note: 11.2 Data Guard Physical Standby Switchover Best Practices using SQL*Plus [ID 1304939.1].
Online redo logs on the target physical standby need to be cleared before that standby database can become a primary database. And later :
On the target physical standby run the following query to determine if the online redo logs have not been cleared... 1) I did not understand where i should run the query. On machine A or on machine B ?
2)
Online redo logs on the target physical standby need to be CLEARED
What does it mean that it need to be CLEARED ? Does transaction might be lost by running the clearing command?
Thanks

I have used my note many times in production.
For example they needed to do some power work on the main server room a few months back on the weekend.
We did switchovers until the work was complete and then a switch back.
I wrote a short document called "Switchover post-mortem lessons" the main point from that was :
1.
getting ORA-01017 issues in Oracle forms ( Application ) after the switchover to standby.
The issue was caused by the Standby database having a different parameter for passwords than the Primary database.
This did not show up in testing because all the tester we used had converted passwords from Oracle 10.
Solution
When in doubt issue this on the new Primary :
SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SET SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON = FALSE;
Note: This command can be issued repeatedly with no negative effect on the system.2.
The query to check switch_over status was returning "LOG SWITCH GAP"
select switchover_status from v$database;
This is an issue because Oracle says the return values should be one of these :
NOT ALLOWED
SESSIONS ACTIVE
SWITCHOVER PENDING
SWITCHOVER LATENT
TO PRIMARY
TO STANDBY
RECOVERY NEEDED
LOG SWITCH GAP is not one of the expected value. In addition this phase is not search friendly either on the Oracle support site or your favorite search engine.
Given this I ran this query :
SELECT
NAME AS STANDBY,
SEQUENCE#,
APPLIED,
COMPLETION_TIME
FROM
V$ARCHIVED_LOG;
Solution
SQL>ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
And wait a few minutesMy switchover document had no issue.

Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to? My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to? I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist. I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question. Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

Trying to archive more often: archive_lag_target vs downsizing redo logs

Hi,
I have a small production 10.2.0.1 database (small: all the files are 17GB total) on Linux which is used in Agile PLM. Ever since we went live, it produces only 2-4 archive logs per day. This was OK when our company was only concerned with being able to restore from the nightly cold backup. Now we want to make sure we can recover to the last hour of work. So I need the database to spit out more logs. It has 4 log groups (with 2 members each), each 50M in size. I am going to add 2 more log groups to have 6, since that is what we did for our 11i instance based on a consultants recommendation. That could prevent some problems, but won't cause it to spit out more logs. I did some research (here included) and found that setting archive_lag_target-3600 will FORCE the db to spit out logs every hour, and doing some testing, this works very nicely. The archive logs are only about 1.2M when they do get spit out every hour, but that is fine. The question is, is it OK to turn on archive_lag_target while keeping the size of the logs at 50M, and have mostly "small" logs being spit out? Or should I reduce the size of the logs to say 20M (by dropping the old ones and creating new ones)? I actually tried 20M and then during a busy time it spit out 2 of them within 10 minutes, but then I looked and saw it did the same thing with the 50M size, so I figured why not keep the 50M redo log size in the first place? It would actually make my go-live plan easier as I would just add 2 log groups at the current size in prod, and not have to drop and recreate a bunch of logs. I think this is a good plan -- my only worry is that if traditionally the way to increase the frequency of the logs was to reduce their size, I feel like I am "cheating" by using the archive_lag_target parameter to do this. I also want to not change too many things at once in production at one time. Thanks in advance. Marv

How long redo logs keep the transactions?

I learn Oracle and decide to do an experiment. There was a table in the test database. I deleted the file that contained this table via OS. And then I added transactions to this table.
I did 'insert' several times, then 'commit', then 'alter system switch logfile' several times, 'alter system flush buffer_cache', 'alter system flush shared_pool' and nothing happened. I could add and take data from this table successfully. Alert log showed the error only when I shutdown the database.
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01116: error in opening database file 13
ORA-01110: data file 13: '/oracle/oradata/test5/POSTEMPTEST2.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
I understand that transactions are put in the redo logs at first, and then are transferred to the datafile on disk. I thought that command 'ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT' writes transactions from redo logs to datafile on disk, but I was wrong. How long redo logs keep transactions? Is there the way to push data from redo logs to datafile?
I use Oracle 10.2.0.1.0.

i believe this time you will see the error message during your SQLsWRONG!probably you did not read the complete post of mine before saying WRONG. You tell me, if data file containing a table is deleted at OS level (in *nix), and then you try to insert data in this table and want to retrieve the data from the table (If data is not in db cache or cache has been flushed), from where data will come? Or if you want to insert some data into this table for which new extent are required to be allocated, where it will be allocated? Will your SQLs succeed or will return some error? Either SQL should return you data (which is not possible as data file is no there to fetch the data), or SQL should fail with some error message.

After downloading pictures to computer I am unable to transfer photos to disk because the photos are too large. how do I reduce them to fit

After downloading photos off of my 4s onto my Mac I am unable to transfer photo's to a disk because they are said to be to large. is there a solution

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

I am unable to restore from iCloud backup because the new phone has iOS 8.1.2 and the old phone has iOS 8.2? Any help.

I Have just bought an iPhone 6 and want to restore my iPhone 4s via iCloud backup to the new iPhone 6. The setup of the iPhone 6 halted because according to the new phone it has iOS 8.1.2 whereas the backups were stored using iOS 8.2 following my updating of the iPhone 4S recently. How do I jump through this hoop? How do I update the new phone to iOS 8.2 without serring it up first? Anyone, please help?

Update the new phone to the same version that has been used to create the backup. In your case, the new device has to run 8.2 to be able to use the backup made with the other device.
Setting it back to factory settings will install the newest version and after that you can use the backup made under 8.2
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

The server is not running - archiver is unable...

Archiver is unable to archive a redo log because the output device is full or unavailable.
The instance is open.
1. Increase db_recovery_file_dest_size
2. Start full as backup database plus archivelog or start archive log backup than delete them.
3. If you have option delete some archive files from OS level than run crosscheck command from rman
I like to solve this issue using miainly grid control/enterprise manager
Thank you

If your database is down, you won't be able to use EM to fix the problem.

Online Redo logs instead of Standby Redo logs

RDBMS Version: 11.2.0.3/Platform : RHEL 6.3
To migrate a 3TB Database to a new DB server , we are going to use RMAN DUPLICATE.
Step1. Take full backup of DB + Standby Control file at primary site and transfer the Bkp files to Standby site
Step2. At standy site, we will run the RMAN duplicate target database for standby
After the above step, we don't want to create the standby redo logs because the newly restored DB in standby server is going to be the new Prod DB which application will be pointing to.
So, Can I skip the Standby Redo log creation part and create Online redo logs instead ?
As mentioned earlier, Our objective is not to create a proper Dataguard Standby DB setup. We just want to clone our DB to another server using RMAN Duplicate.

Hi,
Take full backup of DB + Standby Control
We just want to clone our DB to another server using RMAN Duplicate
If you want only clone database of production, why you are take Standby controlfile?
If you don't want create standby database then, why you using DUPLICATE command with FOR STANDBY option.
You can use DUPLICATE command for clone database, without for standby option.
If you say no, we want create standby database and we will perform swithover,
then yes, you can use online redo logs for max performance mode.
and you can create standby redo logs on all database, but this redo logs will use by database when database role
is standby.
