Backup  oracle database - pre post steps

I want to do cold backup of 10g database. Do I need to shutdown Oracle Application server and listeners before doing cold backup and start them again after backup done.

for taking cold backup then its better to shutdown the apps server as well
database.I would recommend to you whenver you are going to take cold
backup for db then its better for you to take apps cold backup too if
the cold backup goes after you applied any patch ,within E-Biz tech the
patch activity affect apps files too.

    Physical movement of SAP Server and Pre,Post steps ?
    Hello Experts,
    Need your help here..  Our Data Center is moving to Different Place  , hence IM team proposed Physical movement of SAP Server to New Location.
    In our Landscape we have SRM 4.0, XI 3.0 & BW 3.5 , ITS 620 and Requisites Servers available . As these are out of  SAP support we don't have expert for ITS and Requisite Server installation and configutaiton.
    Please  please  tell me Will this process work ? if yes then what are odds n cons in this procedure , Pre and Post Steps need to perform.
    Please help me as early as possible as we need to take decision ASAP.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Raja,
    You need to take care of following
    1) Ensure that IP address and hostname are retained in the new DC. If IP is changing you need to take a note of all the RFC and JCO connections where IP is used and replace them with hostname.
    2) For ITS you can re-install and re-configure. It is not a big task.
       Make a note which all places ITS is configured.
    3) You need to have full offline backup of the system before movement.
    4) You need to plan for some System integration testing post movement to ensure things are working post DC migration.
    Some useful information can also be found in http://christian.bergeron.voila.net/DC_Guide/Data_Migration_Methodology_for_SAP_V01a.doc
    Hope this helps.

  • How to backup Oracle Database Single Instance using RMAN

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Database Server 11gR1 with Operating System Oracle Linux 5.10.
    I understand how to backup database instance in SQL Server with Windows. But don't really understand how to backup database instance in Oracle with Linux.
    I have done Cold backup and Hot backup for the database instance HRCS90 but both get the same error message.
    Cold backup is below:

    While the database instance HRCS90 is startup, I do hot backup using the same commands and get the same error message with above cold backup.
    My question is:
    Can any folk tell me the specific steps (command by command) to backup a single database instance in Oracle using RMAN ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. My database instance named HRCS90 is going to be backed up. My backup directory is /backup_Database_Instance_HRCS90.
    If database in open state, we must back up in archive log. If database in mount state but not open, we can back up in noarchive log.
    I have tried to back up HRCS90 in archive and noarchive log when database in mount state but not open as below:
    SQL>startup mount;
    SQL>exit
    [user@linux bin]$./rman
    RMAN>connect target;

  • Backup Oracle Database whilst online

    Guys looking for some help, I have an Oracle database that must run 24hours a day but I need to be able to back this database up daily, from what I understand I have to make the database run in archive log mode to be able to perform a hot backup.
    I have found out that currently my database is in noarchive log mode
    Can someone help me with the commands to put the database is achivelog mode
    Then can you help me with the command to backup the database using RMAN I have read some documentation do I need to just issue the backup database command or do I need to backup the archive logs files as well ?

    Do you want to teach me lesson ? I'm working with Oracle database since 1988, and I'm using RMAN since version 8.0 (15 years ago, or so).
    And please read the link I posted above.
    1) ... At lease two redo logs destination is recommended so that one redolog destination is keep working while other is filled up or vice versa.
    And you think I don't know that ? And that's not multiplexing.
    2) Catalog database is optional but it is recommended.
    It's absolutely not needed, and I consider it just and overhead (another database to manage and to synchronize).
    3) You need to setup archivelog retention policy so that it cleans up from LOG destination after certain period of time.
    You use DELETE INPUT option in your script, but it looks like you don't know what it means.
    Please follow oracle documentation for best practice .
    Again, are you teaching me lesson ? Oracle documentation is my bible.
    Backup is very important for a DBA so you need to set up precisely so that you can recover the database during disaster
    Backup is very important for a DBA ? What a news !! About disaster recovery, at your #1 you said "redo logs are very important to restore database" : or we mean something different for "disaster recovery", or you are totally wrong.

  • ShadowProtect to backup Oracle Databases

    Hi to all
    I would like to hear from anyone if you are using ShadowProtect to backup your Oracle databases.
    What are your experiences and the pros and cons in using ShadowProtect as the one and only backup/recovery tools for Oracle databases?
    Can the potential of ShadowProtect replaces the commonly use Oracle backup/recovery tools?
    The reason why I raise this question is because my boss has the idea that ShadowProtect is THE best backup/recovery tools. Personally I don't think so, because there can be cases where we only need to recover the database and not the whole OS. Thus need to hear more from you guys.
    Thanks.
    Edited by: moslee on Mar 22, 2013 2:24 AM

    Hey Moslee,
    You should definitely be testing your Oracle database recovery plan quarterly. If you're not even testing it annually that would be what really scares me the most. Testing should show you what you can and cannot get out of your backup and recovery software. Everything else being equal, please please please test your backup and recovery plan and do it often.
    As for ShadowProtect, one of the nice things about this backup solution is that it's an image-based backup which means that it will quiesce the Oracle database and transactions to get a good snapshot of your database. Then (because it's an image-based solution) you can recover the Oracle DB, OS, installed applications, running services, data, and etc to that specific recovery point. Another nice thing is that ShadowProtect can quickly virtualize a backup image as a VM using Oracle's VirtualBox, MS Hyper-V, VMware, Citrix ZenServer and/or RedHat's KVM. Over all ShadowProtect's a pretty powerful and easy to use Windows backup tool.
    Oh, and ShadowProtect's integrated with Oracle's VirtualBox technology (it's called ShadowProtect VirtualBoot) which makes it SUPER easy to spin up a backup image as a VM and verify (read "TEST" in capital letters) whether you've got a solid backup of your Oracle DB. I'd hate to find out the day after the excrement/fan fiasco that my backups were unusable. Please test! (I'm cringing in my chair here.) Then let us know whether you agree with your boss.
    Cheers!

  • Alert mail configuration for backup / Oracle database

    Hello All,
    I am trying to configure alert mail for successful backup in the system and i have did with most of the configurations. The steps are as follows:
    Configured mail in 000 client and also assigned mail id for a user
    Configured the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 (set the parameters and its auto reaction method)
    Configured the nodes CCMS Monitor templates -> Database -> Oracle -> Backup / restore -> backup status -> last brbackup run and last successful complete backup with the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 as mentioned in the SAP note 176492
    And after these configurations we receive the mail successfuly. However there are few issues which i would like to get corrected / clarified. Whenever a backup is started i am receiving a mail stating that brbackup has been started and whenever a backup fails i am receving mail stating brbackup is failed with some return code. But i am not receiving any mail after successful completion of backup. Am i missing any configuraions here? Is this the standard one and other configurations required for mail on successful backup? Please suggest
    Regards,
    Anandh

    When should a message trigger an alert?
    1.Always (at every message): The Alert Monitor triggers a alert with the corresponding message value for every message.
    2.Message value (color) has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the alert color of a reported message changes. For example, an alert is triggered if a red message follows a yellow message.
    3.The message sent has changed: The Alert Monitor only triggers an alert if the color or severity of a message changes or if a new message is sent.
    4.Never: The Alert Monitor does not trigger any alerts.
    As your requirement, I would suggest it to be set to "Always"
    Please let us know how it works.
    Regards

  • How to backup oracle database in C# application

    Hi,
    Could anyone please tell me about a full script that will backup my Oracle XE "Express" database. I have user schema and it has tables with data and I want to backup them. I hope someone tell me how. I want to do it inside a button so it can be easy for me to just press on button and it will continue its job. Thank you very much for your help.
    Any method is appreciated from you. So I just need the way that I can do it. In Oracle forms I used to use exp but in C# I don't how.

    ok
    Even this is ODBC forum, you could check for $ORACLE_HOME/bin/Backup.bat ... analize that script. You could call it from c# with Process Class, and process.startinfo.

  • OS crush without backup Oracle Database (DB 9i)

    Dear All Experts,
    My Oracle DB is installed on Window Enterprise 2003R2, all installation files of DB keep in another partition (driver D:) beside OS partition (C:).
    Now, My OS crushes, I want to reinstall a new OS and recover all DB files back. is it possible?
    Please kindly give advice for this.
    Thanks and regards,
    Heng

    Yes, you should be able to recover your database.
    You need to reinstall the Oracle 9i software to the same patch level as it was earlier. When doing the install, choose to not create the database -- because you already have one. After the installation (and applying patches), use ORADIM to create the OracleService.
    You need to restore the database parameter file (initSID.ora or spfileSID.ora) from a backup. The entry for control_files would reference the existing control files. Thereafter, Oracle would read the list of datafiles from the controlfiles.

  • The problem of installing oracle database 9.2.0 on Redhat 7.2

    Hi, there,
    I meet an error when I want to run runInstaller to install oracle database 9.2.0 on Redhat 7.2 at the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant step:
    ORA-03113:end-of-file on communication channel.
    the installer report every other things are installed successfully except Database Configuration Assistant. but after I try to connect to database using sqlplus:
    sqlplus /nolog
    connect / as sysdba
    after a very long responding time, there is an interior error. I don't know how to fix it. do I need reinstall the oracle or mannully configure the database? how to do that? my machine is P2 266 with 128M memory. the harddisk is 30GB. I don't know if this problem is caused by memory limitation?
    besides, who knows any other forums or website about oracle database installed on linux? I found there is very limit resource about this content on oarcle website.
    any hint will be great appreciated!

    It could be because of the memory. Oracle 9.x requires 512 MB minimum on Linux. Also the only Red Hat Oracle is now supporting is Advanced Server. But there are workarounds.
    There is an excellent web site for installing Oracle on Linux, but it has been down for the last week or two. But try it maybe next week:
