Backup archivelogs from different location

DB : 10.2.0.4
OS : HEHL5
due to space issue i moved the archived to different location from log_archive_dest_1.
is it possible to backup the archivelogs from different location as i moved them?
Thanks.

My bad , it's not a must! Please see,

    Hello, people. I am a newbie DBA and at my work place , Using RMAN for my backup strategy I want to set up a backup to two different location ( e.g A:\backup and B:\backup), I have configure two channels, and also set configure device type disk parallelism 2, but I seem not to be getting the result i need.
    What does configure device type disk parallelism actually do?
    For me to proceed, what do i need to do? thank you.

    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS;
    CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
    CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 2;
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'D:\oracle\backup\data_%U', '\\atapp\data\olu\backup\data_%U';
    CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\ORACLE\ORACLE9I\DATABASE\SNCFTESTER.ORA'; # default
    this is my configuration and it works fine, A copy of the backup are on both servers, the same size the and there is only copy of the archive log and controlfile on one of the servers which is fine

  • Archivelogs to different locations - only with Enterprise Edition?How to?

    Hello,
    while searching for an answer to 'how to store my archivelogs to different locations' I came across a post, that says, that this is only possible with enterprise edition? Is that true?
    In case it is not: How do I add to an online database a second or more targets? I tried it on a test database, but the new target was not accepted, the entry pointing to the FRA was deleted, and everythin stopped, of course. Is there a way to add a second target without shutting down the database? Could anyone please explain, I am afraid to crash our live database. But living without a second target makes me nervous...
    Thank you very much for your help,
    Chris

    Did you look at the documentation for 10g?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/log_transport.htm#i1265402
    This was only for remote db site but there is more in the book.
    5.2.2.1 Changing Destination Attributes
    You can dynamically update most of the attribute values of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n and the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameters using the ALTER SYSTEM SET statement.
    The modifications take effect after the next log switch on the primary database. For example, to defer redo transport services from transmitting redo data to the remote standby database named boston, issue the following statements on the primary database:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=boston
    2> VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE)';
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2=DEFER;
    Read and have fun.
    I think the point you missed is that you got to set the state of the destination as well.

  • How to access Excel files from different locations?

    Hello,
    I have successfully tested the Excel sample on WLS 7, and trying to run it on
    the WLS 8.1.
    Anyways, the common question for both is, how to access an excel files from different
    locations (e.g. c:\path\1.xls, \\domain1\finance\fin.xls, \\domain1\marketing\customer.xls,
    \\domain2\accounts\vouchers.xls)?
    From example i can see that it picks from a specific path under repository.
    Thanks
    Ashok Gupta

    The custom function sets the MS-Excel default directory to System.getProperty("user.dir")+"/excel"
    (the domain directory), then opens the filename passed as a parameter. I assume
    that if you pass in the fully specified path for the excel file ( like d:\MyDir\data\test.xls),
    that it would open that file.

  • Why Backup database then backup archivelog from time...

    Dear Experts,
    I found in one of our rman scripts the 2 following statements:
    backup database;
    backup archivelog from time 'SYSDATE -8';
    It seems to me that a "backup database plus archivelog;" is more simple/accurate instead of these 2 lines as the retention windows is defined (5 days) for this DB so rman will manage the retention of datafiles and archived log, isn't it ?
    Why this separate statement for the archivelog ? I find it redondant but is it...
    Any advice is as usual greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Guillaume

    You are right. The use of backup database plus archivelog; is much better and you are sure that you backup all archived log you need.
    Probably that is an old script, previous version or the responsable of this script didn't know RMAN so good and the option you posted.
    Bye, Aron

  • How to pick different files from different locations

    suppose ur having multiple files(csv) from different locations,then how do u move those files to the SAP system.Please expalin me the scenario

    Venu,
    If the files are present in different folders, then you need different sender communication channels to bring this data to XI. Regarding connection with SAP, you can go for a proxy (If the webAs version is > 6.2) or else go for an IDOCor RFC adapter.

  • Setting backup on two different location

    Hello, people. I am a newbie DBA and at my work place , Using RMAN for my backup strategy I want to set up a backup to two different location ( e.g A:\backup and B:\backup), I have configure two channels, and also set configure device type disk parallelism 2, but I seem not to be getting the result i need.
    What does configure device type disk parallelism actually do?
    For me to proceed, what do i need to do? thank you.

    Question is, do you want A:\ & B:\ backup locations to by synchronized? If so, you'll need to use the COPIES parameter (could also copy the backupset once the backup is complete). Setting the PARALLELISM alone will not synchronize the two backup locations.
    In your case, it would appear that you manually allocated multiple channels with a format specified, therefore RMAN produced the three pieces in A:\ and the one piece in B:\ .
    What you'll experience with multiple copies AND multiple channels (parrlelism 2 for example) is that one channel will grab a group of files and begins backing up to the multiple locations while channel two grabs another group of files and begins backing up to the multiple locations at the same time.
    Hope this helps.

  • RMAN backup to 3 different locations

    Hi,
    I'm trying to backup my database to 3 different locations. If one location is unavailiable backup fails. Is there a possibility to make backup to other 2 locations when one is unavailiable? For example second location from following code is unavailiable. Here is my code:
    RUN
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1;
    CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/backup/location1/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location2/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p', '/backup/location3/%d_DB_%u_%s_%p';
    CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
    CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 3;
    BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG SKIP INACCESSIBLE;
    }

    Hello again;
    I was able to find an example of your other question :
    If you specify a nonexistent directory, RMAN displays output such as the following:
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 08/29/2001
                14:36:04
    ORA-19504: failed to create file "/nosuchdisk/0cd2momi_1_1"
    ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Source
    Spreading a Backup Across Multiple Disk Drives: Example
    Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
    So it really looks like it errors, ORA-19504 appears to be the key.
    Unable to find any Oracle note regarding skip. Interesting question.

  • BPM 11g setting up Oraganization Roles from different locations

    Hi,
    Our BPM process has 2 Roles Requester and Reviewer. We have Requesters in US, ASIA and CANADA, the same with Reviewers also. So Requester from US creates the task and submits the task. This task should go to Reviewer from US. How can we achieve this? And also, the Requestors/Reviewers in one location should not be able to view tasks created by Requestors/Reviewers from a different location.
    Appreciate your inputs.
    MC

    Keep the users of different regions in different Groups. Like Requesters_APJ, Requesters_EMEA and Approvers_APJ, Approvers_EMEA.
    Add a script activity to "somehow" figure out the region of the "Requester" user. Based on this, dynamically change the assignee of the next task i.e. the Requester task to the Approver group for that region.
    Good practice -> At design time, avoid mapping swimlanes to Users, Roles or Groups. Do this after deploying the process/workflow from the EM console. Another way is to do the dynamic assignment as I mentioned.
    Hope this helps.

  • Monitoting services from different location then I have SCOM 2012 R2

    Hello
    I am interested in the ability to monitor services (particularly
    in the Exchange OWA) from a different
    location than I have placed SCOM
    server. I environment of
    different networks and branches. I don´t want to pay for
    GSM (Global Service Monitor)I there some kind of "probe" or
    simplified SCOM? I do not have
    the opportunity to take in every branch of
    such a great performance on SCOM, connnectivity speed between branches is not problem.
    thanks a lot

    Thomas,
    there is no need for a fileshare. You could let the ps1 below run natively in a SCOM PowerShell worklow and it will provide the data in so called property bags:
    param(
    $monitorComputer,
    $monitorURL
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $monitorComputer -ArgumentList $monitorURL {
    $result = Invoke-WebRequest -URI $monitorURL
    Return $result
    # Return the values from CMDLET
    $bag.AddValue("Workflow Computer",(hostname))
    $bag.AddValue("Monitoring Computer",$monitorComputer)
    $bag.AddValue("Monitor URL",$monitorURL)
    $bag.AddValue("Status Code",$result.StatusCode)
    $bag.AddValue("Status Description",$result.StatusDescription)
    $bag
    You could now create your own MP running a PowerShell monitor.
    Or you can implement the following solution to being able to use the wizard:

  • Sync group down? All my agents from different locations offline in same time.

    Now is 2014-10-17, 10:22PM EST. Portal shows all my agents from 3 different locations offline. The last sync was done at around 8:30. I've confirmed my agents are online, and they can successfully ping service. Last nite was another nightmare, it look more
    than half an hour for a sync cycle. Went back to normal all the suddent at 4am early morning.
    What's going on?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The service went back to normal at 1AM EST. It was down for 4 hours 30mins. But the service interruption is just too sudden and frequence as I said it went down on Thursday (16th Oct)  night as well. 
    Here's my sync group info.
    Sync group ID : a0d2cc7b-3a3e-481f-a3b5-be26a373fd5a_Southeast Asia
    Region : Southeast Asia
    Date time of the issue : 17th OCT 8:30PM EST to 18th OCT 1:00AM EST
    Traing ID : No error found from logs since the sync group didn't work at all. It showed all of my agents offlined. And the sync group showed "Warning"
    Please let me know if you need additional info. Thanks.

  • Why does PSE 10 Organizer jumble up photos on the same date from different locations ?

    I have PSE 10 installed on a PC with Windows 7. My camera is a Nikon D90 using a Sandisk 8 gb SD card. When I take photos at different locations on the same date and download them into the Organizer , instead of keeping the photos from the different locations together by location, it jumbles them all up. It does not keep them in order by time taken from first to last for that day , it just mixes them all up in random order. Why ?

    Hi Lyndy,
    When you use Albums and Keyword Tags, you aren't moving the images around (they stay in their folders) - you just look at them differently.
    What you can try is this:-
    1) select one of your folders in folder view so that it displays all of those images in filename order
    2) click on the instant album button (to the top right of the thumbnails)
    This will generate an album with the same name as the folder
    3) Now switch to Thumbnail view
    4) click on the new albumb name on the right side
    Now, all the images should be in date/time order - you may have adjust the options
    The real power of the Keywrd Tags is the many different ways you can look at the images.
    If you have a Keyword Tag structure like this:-
    Places
         Scotland
                Holyrood
                Britania
    Then if you assign the Holyrood and britania tags to the appropiate photos, there are various ways of viewing the photos.
    Selecting just Holyrood would show only the Holyrood ones
    Selecting Scotland would show both Holyrood and Britania ones.
    The only limit seems to be your own imagination
    I hope that gives you ideas rather than adding confusion
