Hi Rana,
if you are working on a Windows environment you should put perl in front of the command... so: perl bkp_restore.pl -m configure
(make sure your path environment variable is set to the directory in which perl.exe is located)

Error during Backup/Recovery settings configuration

Hi all,
Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server control,
i am configuring backup/recovery settings for my infrastructure tier in a 10g Rel 2 application server environment. however after specifying the various locations for Log Files, Configuration files, Metadata repository database backup etc i get the following error after clicking the 'Ok' button.
An Internal Error has occurred while performing the operation.
Performing configuration ...
oracle_sid: cinfra
The command /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/perl/bin/perl /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.pl -m configure -h /oracle/appn/oracle/infra -f > /infrahome/backups/log_files/2009-12-06_17-13-38_output.log failed with return code 255
i am at a loss as to why i am having this error and how to fix it.
I examined the log file and saw an error snippet saying
*"Unable to get dbid from the database. Please ensure that ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set to the same values used when starting up the database and that the database is open.... Failure: Configure failed"*
Also examined another file generated at the same time as the output log file and in there i saw the following
*"ld,so.1: oracle: fatal: relocation error: file /oracle/appn/oracle/product/10.2.0/cm2t/lib/libjox10.so: symbol kgestKguard_: referenced symbol not found*
*ERROR:*
*ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact*
*SP2-0751: Unable to connect to oracle. exiting SQL*Plus"*
Apart from the infrastructure database, i have another database with SID 'cm2t' on the same machine and i am suspecting that OEM Application server control is referencing the wrong file while it's doing it's work. How do i tell it to look in the right place if indeed that is the cause of my problem?
In my config.inp file all the right parameter values are in place.
Thanks.
Steve.

Hi AMN,
Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by taking the following steps.
I use the runstartupconsole.sh script to start up my infrastructure tier. At startup it was using an LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to that used by an existing Oracle database instance on the same machine.
I set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc correctly before running the runstartupconsole.sh script and after that i was able to setup my backup/recovery settings properly.
I hope this will be useful to others.
Steve.

OAS 10.1.2.0.2 BI + Forms + Reports + Infrastructure DB - consist backup

Hello!
i Have created two scripts :
Backup_middle.sh
rm -rf /oracle/backup/middle/*
su - oracle -c "export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/middle && /oracle/middle/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm configure > /skrypt/backup-middle.log && /oracle/middle/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm node_backup -o prepare >> /skrypt/backup-middle.log"
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/middle
/oracle/middle/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm node_backup -o image_backup -P /oracle/backup/middle >> /skrypt/backup-middle.log
chown -R oracle:oinstall /oracle/backup/middle >> /skrypt/backup-middle.log
Backup_infra.sh
rm -rf /oracle/backup/infra/*
su - oracle -c "export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/infra && /oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm configure > /skrypt/backup-infra.log && /oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm node_backup -o prepare >> /skrypt/backup-infra.log"
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/infra
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
/oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.sh -vm node_backup -o image_backup -P /oracle/backup/infra >> /skrypt/backup-infra.log
chown -R oracle:oinstall /oracle/backup/infra >> /skrypt/backup-infra.log
If i run frist script backup_middle.sh and wait for finished then i run sceond script backup_infra.sh wait for finished is my cold backup will be consist?

Hi,
Why you do not use cp -pR command to take an cold back-up of your midtier & infra?.

Backng up failed with return code 255 ...Help!!!

Hi,
I am in a process of backing up Oracle application server 10g through "Configure Backup/Recovery Settings" feature of the app server, when I provide the directories for:
1. Log File Location
2. Configuration Files Backup Location
3. Metadata Repository Database Backup Location
4. Metadata Repository Database SID
and click on OK it provides me the following error:
"The command <ORACLE_HOME>/perl/5.6.1/bin/MSWin32-x86/perl.exe <ORACLE_HOME>\backup_restore/bkp_restore.pl -m configure -h <ORACLE_HOME> -f > <ORACLE_HOME>\backup_restore\logs/2008-12-06_13-36-02_output.log failed with return code 255"
And the log file says -"Unable to get dbid from the database."
Please Help..!!!
Thanks

This turns out to be a non-issue. I re-installed JDK 1.6,
thinking this might have been the problem, but as it turns out,
this Windows machine was a VM, and there haven't been any issues
with other VM's, only this one, leading me to conclude the problem
was the VM. We've since migrated off this machine and recycled
it.

Restoring SOA suite on a new host fails.

SOA Suite is 10.1.3.1, and upgrade to 10.1.3.3.1.
this suite run on windows 2003.
I do the restore according to admin guide chapter 18.3.3
but when run the 3rd step
bkp_restore.bat -m node_restore -o inst_register
it prompts:
Service Oracle-OracleSOAServerProcessManager in a state that can't be recreated.
Please remove it manually first.
I have checked, there is no Oracle-OracleSOAServerProcessManager service on the new host.
any suggestion?

Do this.
Stop services in A, make a copy of all Oracle Home, etc/oratab, /var/opt/oracle and so on
and coppy them to the B.
Then in B, restore the copy and make a chmod -R 750 for the complete ORACLE_HOME, then run the root.sh
After that, just make a little change in the host file, and put as an alias the name of A in B.
Then run the script $OH/chgip/scripts/chgiphost.sh -mid
and for the source use a and target use b for name and ip.
Check the log and if it's ok, just remove the name of A in the host file as alias.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Application server Disaster Backup

Hello all,
Is there any way to do a complete backup of all application server and put on tape for disaster like something like rman for database?
I know cloning for app server, but if I want do weekly disaster backup, is it reasonable to run pre-clone, clone and put on tape every week?
Thanks in advance,
Arvin

Yes, you can tar and zip the files for the application server files to tape.
Also, Oracle 10g Application Server provides a backup and restore utilty in the format of a shell script called
bkp_restore.sh on Linux/UNIX platform and bkp_restore.bat on Windows.
Here is a good tutorial on how to backup and restore Oracle 10gAS:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/hi_av/backup_recovery.htm
Details on backup and recovery with 10gAS:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B15904_01/core.1012/b13995/br_tool.htm
Also, to backup and recover the 10g Application Server infrastructure database you can use RMAN since it is an Oracle database.

Mailbox backup on mail server

Hi,
can anybody tell me how a server based backup of individual mailboxes (done by an administrator) and the related restore is supposed to be done? Server is 10.7.4 with no third party software.
BTW: if an Open Directory user account gets deleted accidently and a new account with the same name and UID, but a different OD identifier (which seems to be used by dovecot) is created: how do I transfer the mail between them (meaning there dovecot IMAP stores)?
Kind Regards
COWegner

Hi Sultan,
1. Create a directory for storing the backup files
2. Modify the parameter "config_backup_path" in the config.inp.
3. Then run the following command:
bkp_restore.sh -m configure

Prakash.

Hi John,
Please let me know the post install you did to get Standalone ASG working. I installed standalone ASG for the first time so I was confused with the workaround given in 429530.1. How can I rename jazn.xml to original name as this is the first installation of ASG and not an upgrade... I got following error after performing workaround as per 429530.1.
ASGCTL> connect asg d-4148.kpit.com ias_admin/********
