Backup Procedure using stream in 11G

Hi,
I want to work (test) with new backup and recovery methods using streams.
I also want to know about the new backup and recovery technologies.
I will appreciate if I get the idea from this forum about it.
Madni

By the way, in the thread you are linking, you made a big "recut" or "copy&paste" of a metalink note, you should take care, copy&paste a metalink note is forbidden and break your terms of usage contracts with Oracle support.Hi Nicholas,
Thanks for the suggestion. I thought I am giving the script which I used to test streams functionality. But yes, I'm right.
Some points which makes it different from the metalink note. I request you to notice it.
1. My post doesn't describe how to establish log transfer.
2. The metalink note is explained using single schema, my post is showing with two schemas (This clarifies that two or more schemas can be managed with a single capture/apply process).
3. The metalink note doesn't describe +ve or -ve rules. I have used -ve rules to exclude database objects.
My testing started after going through that metalink note. This may be why it appeared the same to you. Apart from that I have clearly mentioned in the post that I have used that metalink note as reference(I have utilized Oracle: Replication administrator's Guide also). Believe me it's not copied and pasted.
Regards,
S.K.

Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

Hi,
we have 11.5.10.2 instance
Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

Hi,
This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.
Please have a look at the following notes, it should be helpful.

Table replication using streams uni-directional

Hi,
I recently started using streams and configured the table level replication using streams. I have configured all required processes in a "local capture" method and capture, propogate processes are running fine (status shows to be fine). The apply process at target database is running fine. The logminer is minging the redo logs as per the alert log at source. But i do not see any changes applied on target. suppose, i insert a row at source table it should be appeared at target after some time.
I am trying to find if there is any thing not satisfied at the apply level. I am looking for some directions on the below questions. please dont point me to some links please as i have been going through several sites.
What is captured on source is formed into a LCR. Now, how can i see an LCR at source database (through a query or procedure) when any insert or update is done at source?
How can i see if the LCRs are propagated to target database or not?
If LCRs are propogated properly what query or any object helps me to find out what is in the LCR at target site?
You may probably ask me any questions related to streams configuration and i will check if i have done it properly or not.
Regards,
sree

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Yes. It is 11g.
In my later research i found the below error message from the alert.log at apply site.
knllgobjinfo: MISSING Streams multi-version data dictionary!!!
knlldmm: gdbnm=STRM2.ORDB.NET
knlldmm: objn=16914
knlldmm: objv=1
knlldmm: scn=17541786
When checked on the source site, the SCN i retrieved is,
At Capture Site:
==========
SQL> SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL;
GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
17550440
At Apply site:
=========
SQL> SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL;
GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
17550779
When looked at the metalink note, i found that it might be an instantiation issue or the Issue with Propogation. I am trying to get help from the oracle documents but it looks like it might take little more time. Can you quickly guide me.
How to make sure that propogation is going fine. It is understood that there occurs when the Streams data dictionary information for the specified object is not available in the apply database.
I have instantiated my table at source using DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_TABLE_RULES and added propagation rules DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_TABLE_PROPAGATION_RULES as well. Later i stopped capture and apply, executed DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.PREPARE_TABLE_INSTANTIATION at source (nothing done at destination), restarted the apply, capture process. I believed that it would do the instantiation again.
How to make sure that the instantiation is done properly?
Thank you for your patience.
Regards
Sree

Replicate to a different schema using streams

All,
I'm performing replication using streams, I have read the doc and steps by steps notes on metalink getting the replication successfully.
But now, I want to do the same but on differents schemas ie.
source DB: Schema= A Table=test
Destination DB: Schema= B Table=test
On both databases the schemas are basically the same but with different names.
What changes o additional steps I need to perform in order to complete the replication?
Thanks in advance..!

Here is the procedure
1) Follow the instructions from the documentation to create the streams administrator user on both source and target.(e.g. steams_adm)
2) Connect to the streams administrator user at the TARGET (10.2) database
--Create a queue
Begin
Dbms_streams_adm.set_up_queue(
queue_name => 'APPLY_Q',queue_table => 'APPLY_Q_QT');
End;
--Create rules for apply process
begin
dbms_rule_adm.create_rule(rule_name =>'APPLY_RULE',
condition => ':dml.get_object_owner()=''<put your source schema owner>'' ');
end;
begin
dbms_rule_adm.create_rule_set(rule_set_name => 'streams_adm.apply_ruleset',
evaluation_context => 'SYS.STREAMS$_EVALUATION_CONTEXT');
dbms_rule_adm.add_rule(rule_set_name => 'APPLY_RULESET',rule_name =>'APPLY_RULE');
end;
--Set the rule to rename the schema
begin
dbms_streams_adm.rename_schema(
rule_name=>'APPLY_RULE',
from_schema_name =>'<put the source schema>',
to_schema_name => '<put the target schema>');
end;
--Create the apply
begin
dbms_apply_adm.create_apply(apply_name => 'APPLY_CHANGES',
rule_set_name => 'APPLY_RULESET',
queue_name => 'APPLY_Q',
source_database => '<source database name>',
apply_captured => true);
end;
BEGIN
DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_PARAMETER(
apply_name => 'APPLY_CHANGES',
parameter => 'DISABLE_ON_ERROR',
value => 'N' );
END;
--Start apply
begin
dbms_apply_adm.start_apply('APPLY_CHANGES');
end;
3) Connected as strmadmin on SOURCE (9.2) database:
--Create a database link to the TARGET database connected as streams_adm. The name of the dblink must match the target database name since you have to set global_names=true in the init files of both databases
--Create a queue
Begin
Dbms_streams_adm.set_up_queue(
queue_name => 'CAPTURE_Q',queue_table => 'CAPTURE_Q_QT');
End;
--Create the rule and rulesets
*** Here replace the schema owner and the list of tables you'd like to capture changes *** from
begin
dbms_rule_adm.create_rule(rule_name =>'FILTER_TABLES',
condition => ':dml.get_object_owner()=''<put your schema owner>'' and :dml.get_object_name() in (''TAB1'',''TAB2'')');
end;
begin
dbms_rule_adm.create_rule_set(rule_set_name => 'streams_adm.capture_ruleset',
evaluation_context => 'SYS.STREAMS$_EVALUATION_CONTEXT');
dbms_rule_adm.add_rule(rule_set_name => 'CAPTURE_RULESET',rule_name =>'FILTER_TABLES');
end;
--Prepare the schema for instantiation
*** Replace the schema name with your schema name
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.PREPARE_SCHEMA_INSTANTIATION(
schema_name => '<put your schema name here>');
END;
--Create propagation
BEGIN
DBMS_PROPAGATION_ADM.CREATE_PROPAGATION(
propagation_name => 'streams_propagation',
source_queue => 'streams_adm.capture_q',
destination_queue => 'streams_adm.apply_q',
destination_dblink => '<database link>',
rule_set_name => 'streams_adm.capture_ruleset');
END;
--Create capture process
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.CREATE_CAPTURE(
queue_name => 'streams_adm.capture_q',
capture_name => 'capture_tables',
rule_set_name => 'streams_adm.CAPTURE_RULESET',
first_scn => NULL);
END;
--start capture
begin
dbms_capture_adm.start_capture('CAPTURE_TABLES');
end;
Let me know if you have any questions

Crystal Reports can't add stored procedure using Oracle Provider for OLE DB

Hello,
I am trying to bind an oracle stored procedure to a crystal report through Visual Studio 2008.
This oracle stored procedure returns a ref cursor.
I am using an oracle 11g database (11.2.0.2.0) .
When I use the Oracle Provider For OLE DB driver to bind the store procedure with the report, I get the following error message:
Description : ORA -06550 Line 1 Column 7
PLS 00306 wrong number of types or arguments to the "Strored Procedure Name"
But When I use the Microsoft OLE DB provider for oracle driver, I can bind the stored procedure to the report successfully .
I cannot use the Microsoft OLE DB provider for oracle driver because it does not support the CLOB data type which I plan on having the stored procedure return once I can get everything working.
I have tried setting PLSQLRSET = 1 IN "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KEY_OraDb11g_home1\OLEDB", but that does not seem to work either
Any assistance would be greatly Appreciated
My Stored procedure is very simple as the moment (I just need to get it working then I'll add more stuff). Here's what it looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PROMO.PKG_REPORT as
TYPE OUT_Type IS REF CURSOR;
procedure Report_ThisReport (
p_ThisIdField IN number,
IO_CURSOR IN OUT OUT_Type
end PKG_REPORT;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PROMO.PKG_REPORT as
procedure REPORT_ThisReport (
p_ThisIdField IN number,
IO_CURSOR IN OUT OUT_Type
IS
BEGIN
OPEN IO_CURSOR FOR
SELECT ThisField
FROM ThisTable
WHERE ThisIdField = p_ThisIdField ;
END REPORT_ThisReport;
end PKG_REPORT;

It seems that some questions posted here on the XE forum are really questions about other Oracle technologies.
Concretely, for you there is an Oracle Provider for OLE DB Forum that is active and a terrific resource for you to use.

Problem in Update using STREAMS in Ora 10g EE

Hi
I am using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition for replicating datas after failover occurs in DB
I had followed the steps in below URL..
http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/oracle/guide/archives/oracle-streams-configuration-change-data-capture-13501
The replication is achived using streams.
INSERT,DELETE operations working fine without any issue. But UPDATE operation is not replicated immediately.
I did UPDATE and gave COMMIT, no replication. Again I did UPDATE and gave COMMIT, now only it updates the Streams table.
For every UPDATES it needs two times? Why? How to solve this?
Or Any other URL which gives working examples of Streams in 10g..
Any help regard this highly appreciated..

Thanks for ur reply..
There is no specific reason to use STREAMS..
I have to replicate the data during my properity database stated up.
We already discuss with this topic
Data Replication in after downtime
Instead of using Triggers or procedure, i have to use anyone of the technologies in Oracle 10g for DataReplication..
Can you give me more info like advantages of using DataGuard or other techologies in Oracle 10g EE .

Proper Backup Procedures with External Hard Drives

I use external firewire drives for all of my photos and I have a quick question about backup procedures. I currently use Intego's Personal Backup X5 software solution and I wanted to know whether it is better to backup your files or Sync your files when making duplicate drives?

Aperture's vault function will "sync" your library with your vault. This means that the vault will only hold one specific version of your library, which is fine for most users. The vault file will be more or less the same size as your Aperture library file.
If you want to make incremental backup of your library (which will allow you to restore specific versions of your library) then you could take a look at "Backup 3" which can be downloaded in a trail version here:
http://www.mac.com/1/solutions/backup.html
Incremental backup will mean that your initial backup file plus all your incremental backup files will fill up more space on your harddisk than the size of your Aperture library. (incremental = adding)

Using Oracle EM 11g with Active Data Guard 11g

Has anyone installed Active Data Guard 11g with OEM 11g for an active-active state or know if there are any installation procedures with these two products? We will be installing these products this year. Thanks, Cathy

If you already have both servers configured in Grid Control as targets, it should be fairly easy to create a standby database on server B. OEM has Availability tab on your primary database Instance section should have "Data Guard" section which has "Setup and Manage" option. You follow through the wizard, and it will generate a standby database on server B. Then you can convert your standby db on server B to Active Read-only database by clicking few more buttons.
If you do not have these two servers configured on your Grid Control, that would be the first task.
We set up three standby databases using Grid Control 11g in our test boxes, and they worked very well. Our biggest problem was to actually installing the Grid Control, but once installed, everything was easy.

Can we capture changes made to the objects other than tables using streams

Hello All,
I have setup a schema level streams replication using local capture process. I can capture all the DML changes on tables but have some issues capturing DDL. Even though streams are used for sharing data at different or within a database I was wondering if we can replicate the changes made to the objects like views, procedures, functions and triggers at the source database. I am not able to replicate the changes made to the views in my setup.
Also, when I do a "select source_database,source_object_type,instantiation_scn from dba_apply_instantiated_objects" under the column 'object_type' I just see the TABLE in all the rows selected.
Thanks,
Sunny boy

Hello
This could be a problem with your rules configured with capture,propagation or apply. Or might be a problem with your instantiation.
You can replicate Functions, Views, Procedure, Triggers etc using Streams Schema level replication or by configuring the rules.
Please note that the objects like Functions, Views, Procedure, Triggers etc will not appear in the DBA_APPLY_INSTANTIATED_OBJECTS view. The reason is because you do a schema level instantiation only the INSTANTIATION_SCN in DBA_APPLY_INSTANTIATED_SCHEMAS is accounted for these objects. At the same time tables would get recursively instantiated and you would see an entry in DBA_APPLY_INSTANTIATED_OBJECTS.
It works fine for me. Please see the below from my database (database is 10.2.0.3):
on capture site_
SQL> connect strmadmin/strmadmin
Connected.
SQL> select capture_name,rule_set_name,status from dba_capture;
CAPTURE_NAME RULE_SET_NAME STATUS
STREAMS_CAPTURE RULESET$_33 ENABLED

5 rows selected.
These Functions, Views, Procedure, Trigger are created on the source and got replicated automatically to the target site TARGET.WORLD. And note that none of these objects are appearing in DBA_APPLY_INSTANTIATED_OBJECTS view.
I have used the above given rules for capture. For propagation I dont have a ruleset itself and for apply I have same rules as of the capture rules.
Please verify your environment and let me know if you need further help.

Backup/restore using Stored porcedure

Hi,
Can any one tell how to backup/restore using stored procedure from schema....
becoz this script will be used by front end application..
How to do that?

I "guess" you are trying to create some sort of ERP application which does everything inside-the-box. The reason for this guess is that few months back, I got a similar kind of request from a friend who runs an ISV and wanted me to write a code doing the same for his VB app. Well, my answer was same which you have got just now from other members. Backup/Recovery shouldn't be based on some home grown application , atleast as long as that app is not as robust as APPS or SAP or some thing like that. If you want to do some backup/recovery thing in a script, better you write it in some shell/batch script and run it. Don't try to push it in the some procedure which being tied to your application.
Sybrand mentioned two techniques, RMAN and DB Console, both will do your work excellently.
Just my 2 cents.

Can Split Mirror backups be used for RMAN database duplication?

Hi
We running Oracle 11gR2 EE.
We have storage backup procedures in place,which use Split Mirror technology, i.e BCV
We want to use RMAN to duplicate the source DB, using the BCV copy
Is this possible/feasible?
Rudi

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
My intention is not to backup using RMAN from the BCV.Instead I want RMAN to use this BCV as the storage for our reporting DB
I will elaborate further my intended workflow.
Btw,the reporting DB will have a new name and all the SqlNet files will be in place.
Please let me know what you think.
On the target
In the existing production server (source) :
1.Put the DB in backup mode
2.Split the disks
3.End backup
4.Keep record of SCN
4.Register the new backups as datafile copy
On the target server (target)
1.Mount the report DB
2.perform incomplete recovery the report DB until the SCN
3.Open resetlogs
2 issues I'm not sure about :
a.How to I sync the report DB controlfile,so it will "see" the new backup?
b.Do I need a RMAN repository?

How to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI?

Hi,
We are having problems trying to bind arrays to PL/SQL stored procedure using OCI. Here is the situation:
- We have a stored procedure called "GetVEPFindTasks" with the following interface:
PROCEDURE GetVEPFindTasks (
p_ErrorCode OUT NUMBER,
p_ErrorMsg OUT VARCHAR2,
p_RowCount OUT NUMBER,
p_VEPFindTasks OUT t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable,
p_MaxTask IN NUMBER);
t_VEPFindTaskRecordTable is a record with the following entries:
TYPE t_VEPFindTaskRecord IS RECORD (
RTCID NUMBER,
TransNum NUMBER,
TransTimestamp VARCHAR2(20),
Pathname1 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname2 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
Pathname3 image_data.pathname%TYPE,
OperatorID operator.id%TYPE);
- Now, we are trying to call the stored procedure from C++ using OCI (in UNIX). The call that we use are: OCIBindByName and OCIBindArrayOfStruct to bind the parameters to the corresponding buffers. We bind all parameters in the interface by name. Now, we do bind the record's individual item by name (RTCID, TransNum, etc.), and not as a record. I don't know if this is going to work. Then, we use the bind handles of the binded record items (only record items such as RTCID, TransNum, and NOT error_code which is not part of the record) to bind the arrays (using OCIBindArrayOfStruct).
All of the parameters that are binded as arrays are OUTPUT parameters. The rest are either INPUT or INPUT/OUTPUT parameters. Now, when we try to execute, OCI returns with an error "Invalid number or types of arguments" (or something to that sort... the number was something like ORA-06550). Please help...
Is there any sample on how to use the OCIBindArrayOfStruct with PL/SQL stored procedures? The sample provided from Oracle is only for a straight SQL statement.
Thank's for all your help.
** Dannil Chan **

As you said:
You have to pass in an array for every field and deconstruct/construct the record in the procedure. There is no support for record type or an array of records. Can you give me a example? I'am very urgently need it.
thanks

It is better to have the TC as part of the main network in bridge. You do not need to run wireless.
If you want to use the TC plugged in by ethernet and still use wireless for internet, that is possible but the setup is rather more complicated.. the computer must not get confused about which device to use as a gateway or dns server.
See info in this thread on setting this up.

I need to add.. a USB drive would be cheaper, faster and more reliable. It is really poor use of a TC.
