Backup and restore don't work for me in Oracle

hi
i try this for backup:
$ exp scott/tiger FULL=y FILE='d:\demo.dmp';
and this for restore:
$ imp scott/tiger FULL=y FILE='d:\demo.dmp';
and after restore i can't see the data in my tables.
(i work on Oracle 11.2.0 64bit)
thanks in advance

11.2.0 64bit)You should be using expdp/impdp.
But try this..
$exp \"/ as sysdba\" full=Y file=/tmp/a.dmp
$ imp \"/ as sysdba\" FULL=y FILE='d:\demo.dmp';

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Backup and restore buttons not working

Hi,
Any button in my backup and restore centre with a shield next to it (for UAC) is not working. Identical to this thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/6a138e65-2834-41ac-bd40-c2344e20b824/backup-and-restore-panel-buttons-not-working
A fair way down that page, Lokesh replies but I don't have any of the software that he mentions in his post. Is anyone able to help?

Hi,
According to the Lokesh's reply, this problem is probably caused by 3rd plugin in Windows Explorer Shell. UAC dialog couldn't be prompt correctly.
To resolve this problem, you can try to use ShellExViewer instead to make troubleshoot, please follow the content of the link below for more details:

Cold Oracle EBS backup and restore doesn't work

Hi,
I did a backup using tar while the database was open and not in archive mode ( archivelog disabled ) and restored it on another machine.
OS = AIX 5.3
Oracle EBS 11.5.9
Database 9i
When i started the database I got errors.
Is there a metalink document which will help me recover the database ?
I followed the following metalinks:

I understand that Hot backups cannot be done with noarchivelog and data will be inconsistent.
However, shouldn't the Database be able to recover whatever data is in there in the datafiles and startup normally. From where should it be recoverd, only if we store the data changes in a separate files. These files are called archive logs. The archive logs will be generated when you enable archive log.
This is my question and concern. I searched for Metalink and couldn't find anything on it.
I want to startup the database with whatever Data is present there after the backup. Any solutions for such a scenario ?

Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}When it asks for change number "637" and if you are lucky enough that the redo log file with this sequence is not over written then that redo log file can be given as input when it asks as above.
But again, all these tries are for nothing. At the end of the day if your database is in no archive log mode the reliable backup is only the one taken using cold backup method. i.e. by shutting down the database.
Thanks

How can I attach a photo as a separate file to an email? (I have tried several of the tricks suggested here and they don't work for me)

I cannot work out how to attach a photo as an attachment to an email. I have tried several times today using different methods (ie, changing the email to plain text, dragging the photo from Iphoto over the mail icon, emailing directly from Iphoto), but none of them work. Everything seems to just produce an email with an embedded photo. Any ideas?

Is this the first time your friend receives e-mail from a Mac user?
It is certainly the first time I have sent her emails from a Mac. Not sure if she has ever received messages from another Mac user before.
You've sent her e-mails with pictures before, but only now you're having a problem
Yes, that's correct.
Mail.app offers two settings you can try to manipulate: Edit > Attachments > Always send Windows-friendly attachments, and, Always insert attachments at end of message
I had already tried that and it didn't work.
e-mail client your friend is using
I will find out on Monday when she goes back to work, but I wanted to look at solving the problem firstly from my end.
very likely you're dealing with a problem others have dealt with
Yes, very likely - I searched the site before I posted my own question, and there were quite a number of posts on the same issue.
Again, thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully we can find a solution. I am not making you all grope in the dark just to annoy you!!! I'm just a new Mac user trying to work something out. I am sorry if it seemed otherwise.

Abstract Methods and Override Don't work For SubPackages

I have an abstract class called "A" in a package called test.
package test;
public abstract class A
    int x;
    public A (int x)
        this.x = x;
    abstract void testMethod();
}And I have a sub class of "A" called "SubA" in a sub package of "test" called "test.subPkg":
package test.subPkg;
import test.A;
public class SubA extends A {
    public SubA(int x)
        super(x);
    @Override
    void testMethod()
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");
}Now when I try to compile, it gives me the error:
/home/eric/NetBeansProjects/drum-tabber4/trunk/src/test/subPkg/SubA.java:6: test.subPkg.SubA is not abstract and does not override abstract method testMethod() in test.A
public class SubA extends A {
/home/eric/NetBeansProjects/drum-tabber4/trunk/src/test/subPkg/SubA.java:14: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
If I put SubA in the above package "test" instead of "test.subPkg", it compiles fine. But I don't want to do that because I have a lot of sub classes that are organized differently in separate sub packages.
If I make A an interface, it compiles fine. But I don't want to do that either because I want A to implement the constructor.
Anyone have any idea of how to fix this issue?

Now when I try to compile, it gives me the error:
/home/eric/NetBeansProjects/drum-tabber4/trunk/src/test/subPkg/SubA.java:6: test.subPkg.SubA is not abstract and does not override abstract method testMethod() in test.A

/home/eric/NetBeansProjects/drum-tabber4/trunk/src/test/subPkg/SubA.java:14: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype
If I put SubA in the above package "test" instead of "test.subPkg", it compiles fine. But I don't want to do that because I have a lot of sub classes that are organized differently in separate sub packages.Thats because method testMethod() in class A has a default access modifier. Meaning, that testMethod() will only be visible within the same package and not outside of package test. Expand the access modifier of testMethod() in class A, either make it protected or public, like this...
protected abstract void testMethod();
OR
public abstract void testMethod();

How to backup and restore working Mac OS 9 computer ?

I have a working G4 running OS 9.0, and I would like to backup and restore that hard disk to a second G4 computer that is OS 9 bootable.
I have a CD backup taken by Toast v4, of the entire disk, but I do not know how to restore the contents to the second computer. My previous attempt hosed the hard disk inside the second computer.
I'm thinking I can boot up the second computer via cd-rom or external hard disk, but I'm not sure I can copy the contents from the cd-rom correctly. In particular, I'm guessing the boot sector is challenging to restore.
I probably have some old OS 9 cd-roms around here, if I need to go that route.
I've thought about removing the working hard disk, and using dd on a linux machine to make a clone of the drive. I'd prefer not to go that route, as I don't want to touch working hardware.
I've also thought about hooking up a portable USB disk drive to my working OS 9 machine, and doing some sort of cloning. I'm not sure what program I would need to do that, and whether it's part of the OS 9 suite of tools, or a 3rd party tool. I used to own some various disk tools, but it's been so long I'm not sure I can find the cd's.
So if anybody can point to some instructions on the net for me to follow, or have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
mark

If the second computer originally shipped supporting a newer OS 9.x
system than the first 9.0, the other computer's OS9 version probably
won't work since it would be too old. In the case of drag and drop,
you can get away with a lot more than what an installer package may
allow, since the installer's software can be avoided with Pacifist. So
another computer's OS9.2.2 basic system could be used as a boot
volume even if it is sparse and not the fully complemented OS 9.2.2
that a full retail build would install from a rich full retail install disc.
Usually the retail path was an OS 9.2.1 retail and the update to 9.2.2;
but machines requiring OS 9.2.2 won't like a 9.2.1. Sometimes, since
a drag and drop is not driven by installer software, you can use older.
But machine specific bits, some critical for graphic card drivers & etc,
would be likely missing unless the software used offered that support.
If you can find one of these, it may work = note, out of stock:
691-3638-A Apple G3/G4 9.2.2 (CD) System Software
{This is a Mac OS 9.2.2 full installation CD, color Grey.}
These do not come in retail packaging.

Have fun, even if it isn't exactly as planned.
Good luck & happy computing!

RMAN backup and restore for Disaster Recovery

Hi Guys,
I am very new to Oracle and have a question about RMAN backup and restore feature. I am simulating a disaster recovery scenario by having two VMs running oracle 11g, say hosta and hostb, hosta is sort of production db and the other a disaster recovery db (one that will be made primary when disaster occurs). My goal is to backup production db using RMAN and restore it on the other machine. For some reason when I restore the db on hostb, the command restores the previous backup but not the most recent one e.g. I took a backup yesterday (09/20) and applied it to the hostb that worked fine, but when I try to apply a fresh backup from today (09/21) it always picks up the old backup. Here's a dump of the screen:
Starting restore at 21-SEP-11

I am executing following steps at the RMAN prompt on hosta and hostb:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help here. I redid everything all over again to get all the information you guys wanted. Since I noticed that more eyes are looking into this I am going to reiterate my steps one more time followed by specific answers to questions. My first backup on Host B is located under ..../restore_db/backupset whereas the subsequent one is under .../restore_db/backupset/backupset2.
I take backup on Host A using:
rman target /
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
backup spfile;
quit;
I restore the backup on Host B using:
set dbid=13732232063;
startup force nomount;
restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110928T171830_787gbpxh_.bkp'
shutdown immediate;
startup force nomount;
restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20110928T171638_787gbkxn_.bkp'
quit;
/* restart rman here */
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset' noprompt;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
quit;
I take another backup on Host A using (notice no spfile backup this time):
backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
quit;
I restore the database on Host B using:
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/backupset2' noprompt;
recover database;
alter database open;
quit;

Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
Any thoughts?
Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

"Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
"What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
"I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.

Error code 1,iphone backup and restore,now phone doesnt work at all and apple not in any hurry to solve issue,only had phone 4 mths,wish id stuck with iphone3 and never upgraded

what a nightmare,no phone for 3 days and no sign of any positive help from apple.done backup and restore as wifi on phone stopped working,error code 1 and now phone doesnt work at all,apple say other people having problem but havent heard of anyone else,really disappointed in way apple are keeping me hanging on,phone is only 4 mths old

My iphone is only 6 months old and I am experiencing the same problems. I have already had to have the phone swapped once with a phone that has a blown speaker. (The apple store is 2.5hours away so I havent been able to go back to replace the replacement) Since I did the ios 5 update, my phone says NO SERVICE and drops calls. It was speratic but last night, same ERROR message as you. As you know, if forces you to restore which caused me to loose valuable information and documents. insert loud profanity here _________. lol

I can't lock screen on Ipad mini. My lock screen button is working for shutdowning Ipad, but don't working for lock screen. Also I tried to lock screen from Assistive Touch and it's not working. When I click lock screen on assistive it nothing happens.

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

Backup and restore documentation for outlooksoft 4.2

Any one have backup and restore appset documentation for Outlooksoft 4.2 version? I am interested in both the Server Manager functionality and doing it manually. I haven't had much luck with backing up appset using server manager.
Thank you.

Hi,
Keep in mind that with version 4.2, BPC Server manager backup and restore the OLAP DB (SQL Server 2000) whereas it does not requires it anymore starting version 5.x.
The root reason is that under 4.2 + AS 2000, security access to cube are directly stored in the cube definition.
But there is a side effect about this : If your AS database is over 2GB then BPC Server Manager will not work anymore. This is due to a restriction on SQL Server Analysis Service 2000 on msmdarch.exe process.
Based on previous experience, if you want to do it manually because BPC Server manager is not working :
Backup \webfolder\<<AppSet>>\*
Backup \FileDB\<<AppSet>>\*
Backup AppSet DB
After restore, you will have to process everything to get back Analysis Service DB + Cubes + Security... But i am not very sure it will work. Maybe you should at least create the OLAP DB (even if it's empty) to make it work.
But for sure this is doable, but technical limitation make it hard !

Backup and restore don't work for me in Oracle
