  • Noarchive mode to archive mode

    Hi,
    I'm trying to backup my database in online mode. I've 2 instances: BDPROD and BDPROD2. BDPROD is already in archive mode. I'm trying to change BDPROD2, but when I shutdown the database and run startup mount, I received the error:  ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor. After trying again, I received 2 new errors: ORA-24324: service handle not initialized
    ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
    Anyone have any ideia for help me?
    Thanks

    It depends on how you are connecting to the database to do the shutdown/startup.
    You should be doing it as a local connection.  Log on to the linux server using the os account that owns the oracle installation, probably 'oracle'
    set your environment variables correctly by using the oraenv utility as this:
    oracle: . oraenv
    That's "dot" "space" "oraenv"
    You will be prompted for the correct ORACLE_SID.
    After that you should be able to connect with a simple

    *009*Are these archives backed up ? The above command only updates the RMAN repository if in case the archives were delete manually at OS level.
    I would recommend you to backup these archives and then delete them.
    RMAN>backup archivelog all not backedup 1 times delete input;If these archives are already backed up and have not been deleted from the disk, then you can use the below command
    RMAN>delete force noprompt archivelog all completed before 'SYSDATE-n';where "n" is the number of days behind the current date. Make sure to verify if these archives have been backed up before deleting.

  • When to delete archive logs- using rman 10.1.0.5

    Hello,
    I am using rman to backup my database(10.1.0.5) along with backing up the archivelogs delete input. The retention of the backup is set to 1. I am backing the datafiles and archivelogs to disk /backupdata. I noticed that the /backupdata is filling up with a lot of backup archivelogs. Since the retention of the database is set to 1, does that mean that rman will also clean the archivelogs in /backupdata too? What I am asking is, since the retention is set to 1, does rman automatically determine witch archivelogs in the /backupdata to delete if rman determines that the archivelogs is not needed to satisfied the retention 1 condition??? Thank you in advance.

    rman won't automatically purge your backups. Retention policy can be defined to be 1 (what?) redundancy copies or recovery window?
    You may have defined, let's say 1 redundant copy, which means you must have at least one backup to consider the other obsolete, and you will keep one redundant copy. The other backups are not automatically deleted, they are just marked obsolete, and you can delete them.
    I suggest you to manually purge your backups, as they will fill up your storage. issue, from a recovery manager session:
    rman> report obsolete;
    rman > delete noprompt obsolete;
    rman> report obsolete;
    The delete noprompt obsolete will physically purge all backups reported as obsolete by the first command. You can confirm actions from the last command.
    I suggest you to perform a periodic task to purge obsolete backups, schedule last command, it can be done once your regular backup ends.
    If you have Enterprise manager DB Control console enabled, it can be scheduled using the internal scheduler, and it can be monitored from within EM.

  • Colours are not changing when a certain value is used

    Hi all. This might look strange. But anywayz...
    I am developing a game related to controlling trains and preventing them from clashing into one another. Naturally, my game allows the user to control the colour of the signals present at each station. My game has 3 layers: the first one does the game calculations, the second does the rendering aspects of the game, and the third constantly passes latest game data to the rendering layer.
    Now, the data for the signals comes from the first layer as an array of Integers. The array is named 'aspect'. Below is the code:
          switch(aspect.intValue())
    case 1:
    objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.RED);
    break;
    case 2:
    objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.ORANGE);
    break;
    case 3:
    objGraphics.setColor(java.awt.Color.GREEN);
    System.out.println("green");     
    The default colour of all the signals is red. Now while the game is in progress, if the user changes the colour of the signal to, for example, green, the change is not reflected on-screen. However, the SOP call works fine - the word 'green' is printed in the console.
    What further surprises me is that if I change the statement 'case 1' to 'case 4', and then while the game is in progress, change the colour to green, then the change is reflected on the console.
    I placed SOPs to find out if the values inside 'aspect' are correct. Ya they are correct - they contain values '1' at the start of the game, and when the user changes to green, then they contain '3'.
    So what could be the problem?

    Jeez... sorry.. my mistake.
    What I was doing was this: for drawing the signals, I take all the signals from the Calculations layer and store them in a Vector. Now this becomes a Vector of Integer arrays.
    In the Rendering layer, I have a loop which draws the stations. I also have a method which draws the aspects for each station. Inside the loop, for each station, I call this method. But I don't know what I was thinking while writing the method - I wrote it such dat it draws all the signals for all stations. Thus, for each call, it would redraw all the signals, not the ones for the current station.
    I have changed dat now, and it works. When the user selects a station and then selects the signal he wants, the change is rendered onscreen. Yippee!!
    sabre150, u were right after all!!! Also, thanks to all those who stopped by to rack ur brains over an issue that shouldn't have been one in the first place.
    But what I don't understand is this: Even with my wrong code, shouldn't the change be rendered? Ya, I know it was rendering the signals repeatedly, but then it should have rendered them rightly, isn't it? Or am I not getting something?

  • Looking for an advice in changing to archive mode my DB

    Hello buddies!
    I'm going to change a DB from no archive mode to archive mode. It's a RAc with ASM, 2 nodes.
    What I need that somebody verify these steps and give me suggestions.
    1. Login to one of the nodes (i.e. linux1) and disable the cluster instance parameter by setting
    cluster_database to FALSE from the current instance:
    ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db
    export ORACLE_HOME
    ORACLE_SID=YAWIDB1
    export ORACLE_SID
    2. sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    SQL> alter system set cluster_database=false scope=spfile sid='YAWIDB1';
    3. Shutdown all instances accessing the clustered database:
    $ srvctl stop database -d YAWIDB
    Using the local instance, MOUNT the database:
    $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
    SQL> startup mount
    Enable archiving:
    SQL> alter database archivelog;
    Re-enable support for clustering by modifying the instance parameter cluster_database to TRUE from the current instance:
    •     SQL> alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile sid=’YAWIDB1’;
    •     Shutdown the local instance:
    •     SQL> shutdown immediate
    •     Bring all instance back up using srvctl:
    •     $ srvctl start database -d YAWIDB
    Since the archive destination is pointing to this path: Archive destination /home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/dbs/arch
    I think I should do the next steps to change that to ASM disk group, but in these steps I'm not sure. Please let me know If I'm wrong or correct? Or if I need to add something else.
    ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='+DG_DB1_ASM' SID='yawidb';
    ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
    The order of the complete steps, are correct or shoud be different?
    Thanks for your comments and suggestions ;
    Al

    You do not need to change cluster parameter, see steps below:
    On node1:
    $ srvctl stop database -d <db_name>
    $ srvctl status database -d <db_name>
    Instance <instance1> is not running on node <node1>
    Instance <instance2> is not running on node <node2>
    $ srvctl start instance -d <db_name> -i <instance1> -o mount
    $ srvctl status database -d <db_name>
    Instance <instance1> is running on node <node1>
    Instance <instance2> is not running on node <node2>
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> alter database archivelog;
    Database altered.
    SQL> archive log list;
    Database log mode              Archive Mode
    Automatic archival             Enabled
    Archive destination            <arch_dest>
    Oldest online log sequence     67
    Next log sequence to archive   68
    Current log sequence           68
    SQL> alter database open;
    Database altered.
    $ srvctl start instance -d <db_name> -i <instance2> -o open
    $ srvctl status database -d <db_name>
    Instance <instance1> is running on node <node1>
    Instance <instance2> is running on node <node2>
    SQL> conn / as sysdba
    Connected.
    SQL> select inst_id, log_mode from gv$database;

  • CONFIGURE DATABASE  IN ARCHIVE MODE

    Hai
    I am just trying to change the database to archive mode.As part of this I need to set the parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_START to TRUE in the init.ora file.But I am not able to find this parameter in the init.ora file(any of the archive parameter for that matter).Please advise where can I find and set LOG_ARCHIVE_START parameter.
    Thanks
    Jay

    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
    Parameter type
    String
    Syntax
    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = filespec
    Default value
    Null
    Parameter class
    Dynamic: ALTER SYSTEM
    Range of values
    Any valid path or device name, except raw partitions
    Real Application Clusters
    Multiple instances can have different values.
    Note:
    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.
    LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is applicable only if you are running the database in ARCHIVELOG mode or are recovering a database from archived redo logs. LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is incompatible with the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters, and must be defined as the null string ("") or (' ') when any LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter has a value other than a null string. Use a text string to specify the default location and root of the disk file or tape device when archiving redo log files. (Archiving to tape is not supported on all operating systems.) The value cannot be a raw partition.
    If LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is not explicitly defined and all the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters have null string values, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is set to an operating system-specific default value on instance startup.
    To override the destination that this parameter specifies, either specify a different destination for manual archiving or use the SQL*Plus statement ARCHIVE LOG START filespec for automatic archiving, where filespec is the new archive destination. To permanently change the destination, use the statement ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = filespec, where filespec is the new archive destination.
    Neither LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST nor LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT have to be complete file or directory specifiers themselves; they only need to form a valid file path after the variables are substituted into LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT and the two parameters are concatenated together.
    See Also:

    "LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST", "LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST", and "V$ARCHIVE_DEST" for more information on setting this parameter

  • Unable to enable archivelog mode and flashback mode

    Hi,
    I have oracle10g installed on Linux machine.
    Everytime i try to enable ARCHIVELOG mode and FLASHBACK through the DB EM console and during the restart of the database, the database just startup and gets mounted, but does not get open. and not able to get the database to archive log mode.
    and when i startup the database through the sqlplus i get this following error:
    ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified
    i am not able to enable successfully archive log mode and flashback mode.
    in sqlplus i did the following and got the following:
    SQL> archive log list;
    Database log mode No Archive Mode
    Automatic archival Disabled
    Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
    Oldest online log sequence 13585
    Current log sequence 13587
    so i was thinking maybe it is the archive log start sequence that is creating error.
    because long back i had the database in archive log mode and because the archive log files got filled up, i disabled the archive mode and had to delete the archive log files.
    Can someone help me bring the database in archive log mode which i am not able to successfully execute.
    Thanks in advance,
    Philip.

  • Changing of the timestamp in sender file adapter in archive mode

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where in I have to archive a file with timestamp different from that generated by XI.
    Please let me know if this can be done and if so how can we handle the changes to be made to the timestamp in the sender adapter in archive mode.
    regards,
    Srinivas.

    Srinivas,
    Option 1) Create a bat file..to run the perl script you call..
    Perl script..
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    print("Starter that you want to change: ");
    chomp($badex = <STDIN>);
    print("Starter that you want added: ");
    chomp($goodex = <STDIN>);
    foreach $file (<$badex*>){
        @fields = split(/$badex/,$file);
        $goodfile = ("$goodex" . "$fields[1]");
        rename("$file","$goodfile");
    Run that on the os
    That should fix it.........
    Option 2) On your local Machine create a java file..add this code to it
    public class Utils
         public static int Randomizer(){
              int randomInt = 0;
              randomInt = (int) (Math.random()*1000);
              return randomInt;
    public static void main(String[] args)
         Randomizer();
    save and compile..
    Create a bat file to add the number returned from the random to your targetFilename
    so it would be something like..
    mv oldFileName Newfilename+randomizer... and also get this command written to a file..helpful later on.........
    Hope that helps

  • In my iPhone the images and videos are not changing into landscape mode

    In my iPhone the images and the videos are not changing into landscape mode. And it is switching off  automatically

    Hi vijenderreddy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps to try if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Why are some web sites that i have been using for years now all the sudden changing themselves from Standards compliance mode to Quirks mode? How do I change them back to Standards compliance mode?

I have had this happen to me a few different times and could not seem to get the help I needed. I bring up another page, look at page info and it says Rendering mode - Standards compliance mode, but on the messed up page it says Quirks mode. How do I get it back to Standards compliance mode?

    Good day ... As I leave California I am still very puzzled at how Yahoo can hijack my pages while on the internet ...? A friend of mine who lives here is also puzzled at how this is happening.
