Backup form db2 level hanging

Dear experts.
my sap is installed on HP IVM(vertual server) and i have a NFS file system /backup mounted for taking the backup in base OS.
we are using SAN.
i issue is when i am taking the backup from db2 level it is creating a file on the location but its not writing any thing after 5-6 Hr also its only 0kb. and it hanging..my backup from symantic netbackup is running fine. ..
and i found the whenever i am executing backup command from db2..not db2 command is working its saying backup not finished.
and then i have to reboot the os . then only its working .
please suggest
thanks
sadiq

Hi,
Could you please check whether db2<sid> user has write permission on this folder ?
Also, could you please paste db2diag.log when you run the backup and it hangs ? Please also paste output of below command when you start the backup:
db2 list utilities show detail
Please also let us know which backup are scheduling from db2 command line.
Thanks
Sunny

How to Schedule a Backup in db2

Hi, Experts
We are using ECC6 (OS400 with DB2). i want to schedule a backup in db13 but system throwing error iSeries : Function not supported for DB2/400
Please tell me how to schedule a backup
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

Hi,
In Application(SAP) level you can't able to take Backup.
You can take backup from OS level.
GO SAVE command and schedule the backup...R3<SID>DATA and R3<SID>JRN...libraries you can take daily..
Monthly once you cane take Entire System Backup with offline.
If you want online backup you came go to BRMS..But it is licence product with IBM.
Thanks

Backup of db2 with ECC6.0

hello experts can u answere this question.my company database is db2 with ECC 6.0.how can we take backup in sap level using db13. what are the prequisities we have to maintain in saplevel or database level.

Hello,
In db13, there are several database backup jobs (e.g. Database Backup into TSM, Database Backup to Device, Database Backup with Vendor Library). Each of which issue db2 backup underneaht the cover (so that you can check the status from DB2 side as well as SAP side).
With the DB13's Database Backup job entries, you can specify full/incremental/incremental delta backup and the recurrence pattern. One thing though is that DB13 only allows you to do "online" backup. To do an offline backup, you still have to use DB2 command.

Backup RMAN Incremental Level 1 without Level 0 - 10gR2

Hi,
I'm a bit confused after some tests.
The Question: It's mandatory to perform backup incremental level 0 before the level 1 using Oracle 10gR2 ?
On Oracle 11.2 it's mandatory but on Oracle 10.2.0.5 I don't know.
Test on 11.2. If doesn't exists level 0 rman take care about it and perform automaticaly level 0 before level1
RMAN> backup incremental level 1 database;

using channel ORA_DISK_1
no parent backup or copy of datafile 1 found
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting incremental level 0 datafile backup set
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backup set
...Docs said:
Incremental backups capture only those blocks that change between backups in each datafile.
In a typical incremental backup strategy, a level 0 incremental backup is used as a starting point. A level 0 backup captures all blocks in the datafile.
So, on Oracle 10.2.0.5 this not happen like on 11.2:

Hi Gokhan,
Thank you for point this.
After spending a time studying about this I find out this:
Your expanation apply only in Oracle 10gR1/R2.
Because there is differences between RMAN Version 10gR1/R2 and 11gR1/R2 about Incremental Level 1 and this confuse me.
Oracle 10gR1/R2 run only one backup incremental level 1 even if level 0 not exists .
Oracle 11gR1/R2 run two backups incremental if level 0 not exists. i.e level 0 first and after that level 1.
Oracle 10gR2
If no level 0 backup is available, then the behavior depends upon the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks changed since the file was created, and stores the results as a level 1 backup. In other words, the SCN at the time the incremental backup is taken is the file creation SCN.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm
Thats means wich RMAN run level 0 with name level 1. (i.e: Only one Backup) This is confuse.
Oracle 11gR1
If no level 0 backup is available in either the current or parent incarnation, then the behavior varies with the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks that have been changed since the file was created. Otherwise, RMAN behaves as it did in previous releases, by generating a level 0 backup.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV89500
Oracle 11gR2
If no level 0 backup is available in either the current or parent incarnation, then the behavior varies with the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks that have been changed since the file was created. Otherwise, RMAN generates a level 0 backup.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV89500
Thats means wich RMAN run (automatically) level 0 first after finish level 0 backup RMAN run level 1 backup (i.e Two Backups). This seems right.

HANA - backup at User level

Hi..
Is it possible in SAP HANA to take backup at user level (to take backup of specific user including schemas, objects, constraints etc)? Currently upto release SPS07, I can only see "full DB backup" option as available.
Thanks..

HI Virendra
nope - like most DBMS SAP HANA does not support user or schema based backup/recovery.
You may however perform an export/import to store a snapshot of a specific users data.

Rman backup on tablespace level.

Hi,
I plan to backup at tablespace level instead of whole database. Other than the tablespaces used for the application, do I have to backup system and other tablespaces in 9i to guarantee recovery like the ones we did without rman, alter tablesapce....? The DB is on archivelog mode. Thanks.
Tracy

The SYSTEM tablespace is the most critical and important tablespace. That is good practice to ever have a backup of this tablespace.
If you don't have a backup of the other tablespaces you can recover your database too, but that isn't so easy. BUT YOU MUST HAVE ALL ARCHIVELOG!
This type of backup is suitable only for advanced DBAs. You must know what are you doing and what is your real goal; and that is not only to recover the database!!! that is much more.
I think that the best command for you is backup database.
After that you can evaluate incremental backup.

Backup in db2

Dear sir,
Please provide me a offline and online backup in db2 and my os is hp-unix
regards,
ravi

To get an overview of all the options available with backup of db2 just run the following :
Login as db2<sid>
execute
db2 \? backup database
Here is an extract of the output
=================================================================================
BACKUP DATABASE database-alias [USER username [USING password]]
[TABLESPACE (tblspace-name [ {,tblspace-name} ... ])] [ONLINE]
[INCREMENTAL [DELTA]] [USE {TSM | XBSA} [OPEN num-sess SESSIONS]
[OPTIONS {options-string | options-filename}] | TO dir/dev
[ {,dir/dev} ... ] | LOAD lib-name [OPEN num-sess SESSIONS]
[OPTIONS {options-string | options-filename}]]
[WITH num-buff BUFFERS] [BUFFER buffer-size] [PARALLELISM n]
[COMPRESS [COMPRLIB lib-name [EXCLUDE]] [COMPROPTS options-string]]
[UTIL_IMPACT_PRIORITY [priority]] [{INCLUDE | EXCLUDE} LOGS] [WITHOUT PROMPTING]
NOTE: From the operating system prompt, prefix commands with 'db2'.
      Special characters MAY require an escape sequence (\), for example:
      db2 \? change database
      db2 ? change database xxx comment with \"text\"
==================================================================================
The above options provide you with all the arguments that you need to use for taking an online or offline backup to disk, using TSM or using any 3rd-party backup utility.

Difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup

Hi,
What is the difference between Full backup and lncremental level 0 backup?
what I understand is:
Actually incremental backup backups all the block containing data and skips the blocks that are unused.
Similarly full backup backups all the blocks containing data.(does it skip unused blocks ?????).
The only difference that I feel is that the level 0 backup is recorded as an incremental backup in the RMAN repository, so it can be used as the parent for a level 1 backup where Full database backup is not recorded in the Rman respository and cannot be used as parent for level 1 backup.
(if you still feel you have some more points to share regarding the difference between backups, I request to share with me)
so my question here is
Can we use Incremental level 0 backup for full database recovery. Else is there any compulsion like we must only use full database backup for full database recovery?
can anyone throw light on this
with regards;
Boo

nowhere in this thread we talked about the image copies as we are only talking about the incremental backup.
The word "always" has a meaning. If you now wish to say, "well, RMAN will mostly use a level 0 or full backup, except when there are image copies around" then the word "always" doesn't fit your newly-revised description. That would make it an inappropriate word to use. And indeed, it's a factually wrong word to use.
If you want to get really picky about it, incidentally, the words 'datafile copy' appear in a post from me at Aug 4, 2007 6:03 PM whereas your post (in which the "always" word was used) only appears Aug 4, 2007 8:32 PM -a full 2 and a half hours (and and two posts) AFTER the concept of image copies had been mentioned.
But regardless of times: you can't just pretend image copies don't exist just because they haven't been mentioned so far in a thread. If you post "this is the way something ALWAYS works", you'd better be completely right about it, because "ALWAYS" is a big word. And there's no grey about this: either "always" is right, or it's wrong. And in this case, it's wrong: there are many times when RMAN will not do what you baldly asserted it would do. Image copies aren't some rare, exotic beast, either... so the occasions when your 'rule' breaks down are many and common.
until now I was simply beliving in what Oracle docs and metalink notes says
Try not to do that. Because you will fall into error after error if you do. Metalink is not the Holy Gospel of Oracle. Testing is, and it's because I've been testing this stuff since 1999 I will, on this occasion, decline your kind invitation to do "a small test". Been there, done that.
All of which leaves us discussing things that are of no relevance to the original poster, and I have no desire to take the thread off into silly areas of dispute. So I will leave it there, and I have nothing further to say on the matter. RMAN does what it does, and what it does is not what you said it would do. End of story.

Backups for DB2 Databse.

Hi Experts,
One of our client have SAP Version SAP ECC 6.0 EHP4 Ready on DB2 LUW 9.7 with windows 2003 Server X64 OS. I am new to DB2 Database. I have used SQL and ORACLE Databases and taken backups using these databases for SAP.
I need to know about the procedure to take the online and offline backups with DB2 LUW 9.7 Database.
Regards,
Vaibhav

Hi Vaibhav,
you have to use the "BACKUP DATABASE" command in DB2 CLP. You can get information about it in [DB2 Information Center|http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r7/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0001933.html]
Additionally you can read the Paper [A Practical Guide to Backup and Recovery|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/db6?rid=/library/uuid/80e61772-e471-2c10-60b1-9529b69b50c5] which introduces Backup and Recovery with DB2 in relation to SAP software.
I think that might help you.

Help needed in Master Detail Form - 2 level of details

Hi,
I have a form with 2 levels of Master Detail and a Find window
The Datablocks are
- Batch
- Headers
- Lines
- Manual datablock for Find Wndow
I have created relation between Bacthes and Headers with Batch Id
I have created relation between Headers and Lines using HeaderId.
The issue is that,
If I search with '%' in Batch block, by default it will show results in 'Headers' and 'Lines' block.but if i navigate to the next record in batch block , only Headers block shows results but Lines block does not show result.
If I search from Find window also, only Batch and Headers block shows results but Lines block will be empty.
In the 'Batch' block if I search with specific data , the screen shows results in 'Headers' and 'Lines' block.
Can you please help me solve it.
I have written a PRE-QUERY on Batches block to set where clause from Find window.
I have written a PRE-QUERY in Headers block to set where clause from Find window
Thanks,
Kamath.
Thanks,
Gowtam

Hi,
When you execute normal not by searching through ENTER_QUERY mode. Then data is coming in all blocks
- Yes. Once I go to the Form if I search using '%' in batch block or search for a particlaur record i Batch block, the results shows up in Headers and Lines block.
Ex: say there are 2 records in Batch block(A and B) and I search by %, by default i get 1 batth record (A) and corresponsding headers and lines
now when i use down arrow key in the batch block, second record(B) will be showed in batch block. relevant Headers block records will be shown but Lines block does not get queried.
Similarly if coem to the Form from search window then also, Batch and Header blcoks wil be shown but not Lines block
PREQUERY at Batch Level_*
V_WHERE := 'WHERE 1 = 1';
IF :XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.PERIOD IS NOT NULL THEN
     V_WHERE :=      V_WHERE || ' AND PERIOD = '''||:XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.PERIOD||'''';
END IF;
IF :XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.BATCH_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
     V_WHERE :=      V_WHERE || ' AND BATCH_ID = '''||:XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.BATCH_ID||'''';
END IF;
IF      V_WHERE IS NOT NULL THEN
     set_block_property('XXYH_ICAN_WB_BATCHES',DEFAULT_WHERE,V_WHERE );
END IF;
PRE-QUERY at Header Level_
IF :XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.BATCH_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
     V_WHERE :=      V_WHERE || ' AND BATCH_ID = '''||:XXYH_ICAN_CALC_WB_FIND.BATCH_ID||'''';

Rman backup full then level 0 and level 1 Weekly

Please share your thoughts of backups.
Friday -> Take a full rman backup
Saturday -> Take a level 0 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply level 0 ?
Sunday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Monday -> Take a level 2 rman backup -> If recover needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Tuesday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recover needed restore full and apply incremental 2 ?
Wednesday -> Take a level 2 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Thursday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recovery need restore full and apply incremental 2 ?
Thanks

Please note that Full and level 0 backs are same...
Sunday -> Take a level 0 rman backup
Monday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Tuesday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Wednesday -> Take a level 2 rman backup
Thursday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Friday-> Take a level 1 rman backup
Saturday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Taking level 2 in the middle of the week, so that in case of any recovery you need ao apply changes since the last level 0, 1 or 2

Full backup of Mac HD hangs up

If you take this post down, claiming that it’s only a request for an improvement, I might work up the nerve to read it on YouTube. How, exactly, am I supposed to fully back up and restore an -entire- Mac Mini hard drive, to and from an external FAT32 Passport USB drive, under OS X 10.4.11?
It doesn't work. Even after enabling and logging back in as the root user, a straight drag and drop copy hangs up on permissions. Even if I managed to fix all the permissions with Disk Utility, somewhere within the thousands of files, and/or apply read-write permissions to all files via Get Info, copy still hangs up on java aliases and *.sh files, claiming that the Passport drive cannot accept them. Why? It's just ones and zeros. Did the Passport drive clench its knees together and say no? Nor can I use Disk Utility to make an image file of the Mac hard drive. It hangs up claiming that a resource is busy. Clenching its knees together, no doubt. Nor can I use “Time Machine”. Apple was so kind and thoughtful as to remove from the market any Time Machine support it may have had for PowerPC in 10.5, if any, when it brought out Snow Leopard.
The ability of OS X to take a *.dmg file, open it and allow the application to simply be dropped into the HD is beautiful and elegant. Especially compared to the pain of having to verify that all the necessary mother and daughter module versions are present with Linux. But what possessed Apple to let OS X loose on the public without providing a dead easy and reliable way to back up and restore a hard drive? Was it the “Here’s my card; call me when you’re ready to compromise” syndrome?
I may have been mystified by the workings of that old IBM 600-series vacuum tube computer with the rotating magnetic drum memory, but I’m pretty sure that the operators could dump and load the operating system and applications using punch cards. What was Apple thinking when it declined to provide such a basic and necessary function? After losing 2/3 of my hard drive to incomplete and misleading Mac Help instructions on setting up a RAID system, I’d really like to back up the remaining portion, repartition the drive and start over. But nooo, that would be way too simple.
What Apple did well, it did very well. But what it neglected is every bit as insomnia-, ulcer-, and high BP-friendly as anything Microsoft ever did. What could have been so hard about providing basic backup and restore functions that it took until OS X 10.5 to figure out? I seem to remember that MS-DOS could do that. Not to mention earlier machines using punch cards and paper tape.
The least Apple could do, if it can’t tell us how to perform the maneuver successfully, is fix that oversight and provide an appropriate update to 10.4.

Thanks, Thomas. It should say something that I get my understanding of the whole MAC process from MAC Help. I did not think in terms of a bootable clone, but simple mass dump that could be restored by booting from the installation disk and then recopying the dump to the Mac HD. I haven't looked at this problem in a couple of years, and forgot to look for SuperDuper in my apps. Thanks for reminding me. The fact that I could follow incomplete MAC Help information on setting up a RAID system, and permanently make a partition of my Mac HD unmountable without erasing and reformatting the whole HD, put me off for a long time. I bought an old, early version of Retrospect once, and I don't recall that it worked very well.
PowerPC (Motorola 68000-series uP) code is written in bits, bytes, words and double words to be stored in memory. So long as you have a suitable conversion process, it doesn't matter to what medium or format you dump either the memory or HD. I don't think anyone would want to, but you could copy and recover everything on a HD to and from old-fashioned inefficient 7-track binary coded decimal magnetic tape with a suitable conversion process. The FAT32 and MAC Journaled formats encode the same information with different headers, byte order, checksums, etc. That's why I can download an application disk image file (*.dmg) to my PC, copy it to a flash drive, and copy that to my MAC, and expect it to unpack the app correctly.
If one cannot copy Mac HD information to FAT32, it's only because the Apple OS X creators did not bother to make the appropriate conversion process available to users. As I recall it, this way of thinking advanced as computers changed from professional tools to consumer toys. Basic and necessary tools got dropped in favor of new and improved flashy bells and whistles to chum for consumer dollars. Even scientific applications have suffered on occasion.
In the old mainframe days, no computer company could have gotten away with failing to provide for a way to back up the system. They simply crashed too often, even from things like power company transients and insects in the machine. I have long suspected that Apple made some kind of under the table deals with developers to let them make and sell the system tools that Apple should have provided. This has not been to our benefit.

Pls differenciate form/function level personalisation

Hi All,
in my form i had one personalisation at function level and form level,but i am uable to find the difference of this two levels,
and i dont understand the purpose of two levels.pls some one tell me with one real time example.
Regards
Gopinath

Hi Gopinath,
You can have two functions pointing to the same form, say for form APXINWKB
AP_APXINWKB
MODS_AP_APXINWKB
If you apply personalization for Form, then it will apply for both functions.
If you apply personalization to Function then it will only affect the function you choose!

Installer (2nd level) hangs at 7% then quits

I've recently updated to X.8.3 (from X.6.8) via a complete erase and install. When I go to a web page with Flash, I'm told to update my Flash. I download the installer and then start the installer up. The Flash window shows that the 2nd level installer is downloading and quickly goes to 7% then hangs. After a few minutes, the windows goes away, no message, no nothing.
When I go to the Adobe help pages, they tell you to uninstall what you have (I can't uninstall what hasn't been installed), it tells me to be sure I'm downloading the latest version (I have), and as I keep on trying to dig deeper into adobe support, I keep on getting turned right back to the same page that isn't helping me at all. I feel like I'm in an old Twilight Zone episode.
So how can I install Flash on my Mac Pro running X.8.3 into Safari and FireFox?
Thanks,
Gary

Is it possible the directory was corrupted so the Mac can't access the drive?
That is a definite possibility. If that is so, the latest version of Disk Warrior should be able to rebuild and replace your directory.
How could aborting the upgrade when I did cause a HDD failure?
I don't think I said that it did. It may be just coincidental. HDDs do fail in time. The average life is 3 to 5 years with 1 to 3 per cent failing in year one. The platters on these drives have a thin coat of lubricant which, with age and heat thickens and becomes gummy, and spin out to the edges of the platter with centrifugal force causing sticking heads. In addition the high rotational speeds and the fact that the bearings are literally floating in lubricant leads to wear and instability. So, replacing an HDD after three or four years even if it is not troubling, may not be a bad idea, although many of us wait until we need to do it.
I've ordered the latest version of Disk Warrior... and I pray it launches without a kernel panic.
I hope that it does, too, and that it is able to rebuild and replace your directory.
Other than that do I have any other options?
Archive and Install or a complete reformat, erase and reinstall.
