Can rman restore tablespace to a different tablespace name?

Hi all,
I was wondering that can RMAN restore a tablespace to a different name tablespace in the same instance? I have the full backup by RMAN, I wonder I can do that or not? Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Rich,

Hi,
a tablespace is not necessarily a logical space to separate schema objects from one another (could be, but not necessarily, depends on your object distribution).
So what you need is: export your original user schema with the exp utility
then import this dump into another user schema with the imp tool (fromuser=old touser=new)
BEFORE you create the new user and you give it a different default tablespace. If you like to really separate the objects in tablespaces (like for transportable tablespaces) you may deny access to any of the tablespaces of old user to the new user. That makes sure data is not erroneously loaded in the old tablespaces.
Read the docs to understand this clearly if you like.

RMAN Restore tablespace across LPAR's

My Oracle revision is 10.2.0.4
I have a full backup of a Production database and I want to restore just ONE tablespace from the backupset to another database instance on a different LPAR. I have read the documentation on creating and updataing duplicate databases with RMAN but havent found if I can just restore one tablespace/datafile to another instance.
Help!!

You can try to use RMAN DUPLICATE with the SKIP TABLESPACE clause to skip all application tablespaces except the one you really want to restore:
>
SKIP TABLESPACE 'tablespace_name'
Excludes the specified tablespace from the duplicate database. Note that you cannot exclude the SYSTEM tablespace, undo tablespaces, and tablespaces with rollback segments.
>
(From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126).
From the duplicated database you should be able to transport the tablespace to the right database.

TS4000 can I restore icloud from a different point

I was having a lot of issues with my iphone, so Apple gave me a brand new phone. I had everything saved on icloud from my original phone. I hit the sync button to restore all of the information from my computer, onto the new phone. I realized that the mail/ notes/reminders was not clicked to on, right after I hit the sync button. I panicked try to stop the sync, but it was too late. I am now worried that there is a new restore point, and important mail, notes, and reminders that I had are now lost. I am wondering if the information that I had once stored, that including all information from notes, reminders, and mail, may still be available to me, since they were once fully saved, and if there is a way to seek and earlier restore point. I did not expect at all, that the mail/notes/reminders button would be turned to off, during the full sync, when everything else was automatically set to on. I could go back and make all new notes again, but if somebody out there is savvy, and can think of a way to find this once stored information, I would love your advice. Take care, and all the best to you!!! Thanks. Rob

Why don't you just do a new backup?
Can I restore individual files from the Time Machine backup on Computer A running Snow Leopard to Computer B running Lion?
Yes, via #16 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. But the permissions from Computer A will be restored, too, so the user account you restore them to on computer B may or may not have permission to see or change them.

Can RMAN restore TS with different name?

Hi all,
I have the RMAN TS backup (let's say 'HR') and am trying to restore it in the same database into different TS (let's say HR_TEST). However, I could use expdp (datapump) method, but since I have RMAN TS backup running daily, and would like to take advantage of it. Any idea would greatly appreciated. By the way, I am running on 10.2.0.1 Sun Solaris. Thanks again.

Yes,
I tried to export process. However, I ran into characterset problem and the error was
Export done in US7ASCII character set and AL16UTLF16NCHAR character set
Server uses WE8MSWIN1252 character set (possible charset conversion)
EXP-0056:ORACLE error 932 encountered
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected BLOB, CLOB got CHAR
I also set my global environment NLS_CHARACTERSET to WE8MSWIN1252, but did not work. Do you have any idea I should set my character set? Or maybe I should check into transport TS method? Thank you very much.

How to restore TABLESPACE not in backup set?

I was playing with RMAN on one of my test databases. Here's what I did.
1) Performed full backup on an ARCHIVELOG enabled database
2) I created a table space named TBLSP
3) shutdown the database
4) Corrupted the only data file in TBLSP
5) startup
As you all guessed database won't open. I was pretty sure that if I restore last full backup and roll archive logs forward, I would be able to recover my corrupted tablespace.
6) rman target /
7) restore datafile 'D:\oracle\oradata\training\tmptbl01.dbf';
8) I get
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 14 found to restore
9) Then I tried following and both worked(?) fine.
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('09/04/2006 12:20:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS')";
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('09/04/2006 12:20:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS')";
10) Now I can do ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Database is opened but I lost tblsp tablespace. What should I do to recover corrupted tablespace until its last consistent state.
Thanks...

From the error you received, I would assume you are not on 10g?
If you are on 10g, once you determine the tablespace containing the corrupted datafile, you could rename the datafile on the file system and issue the following in RMAN:
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore tablespace tblsp;
RMAN> recover tablespace tblsp;
RMAN> alter database open;or
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore datafile <corrupt_datafile_#>;
RMAN> recover datafile <corrupt_datafile_#>;
RMAN> alter database open;

I can't restore my backup because not enough space on disk.

Im using Iphone 4 32G and a windows XP. the space in my local disk C: is not enough to restore my Iphone but I already backup my Iphone and its on my C: So when I restore It copies the backup again on C: So what should I do? I need my stuffs back !!! Help anyone tq.

The thing is my disk C: only have 24G space. After backup only left 2G. Can i restore my iphone through different location such as my external hard disk? Can i copy the back up folder to my external hard disk then delete the one at C: ?

Changing rows into different column names

Hi,
i need to tranpose the rows into differnent column names
my sample data :
id , val
1 3
1 4
1 5
into
id , val1, val2 , val3 , val4 ... valn ..
1 3 4 5
from askTom's i see that it's tranpose into a single column using the ref cursor ?
how can i do made it into different column names ?
kindly advise
tks & rdgs

For example, lets say that you want to order your columns from least value to greatest and that you'll never have more than three values per id. Then you can use the analytic function row_number() like this to create a pivot value.
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table;And so your pivot query ends up looking like this.
select id,
       max(case when rn=1 then val end) AS val1,
       max(case when rn=2 then val end) AS val2,
       max(case when rn=3 then val end) AS val3
from (
select id, val,
       row_number() over (partition by id order by val) as rn
from your_table
group by id;But notice that I started out by making up answers to Justin's questions. You'll have to supply the real answers.

Backing up and restoring tablespaces with RMAN

We have some tables that we want to backup and other tables that we don't.
We are separating these tables by tablespaces and schema.
SchemaA uses tablespaceA
SchemaB uses tablespacesB
We are also backing up
sys
sysaux
undo
tablespaces.
Lets say we lose our tablespaces and do a restore. I am assuming that all my stored procedures can be restored no matter which schema I save them in. even if I save them in a schema that has a default tablespace that is not being backed up because the code in is in the System tablespace.
Is my assumption correct?

Here the key concept is Mean Time To Recover(MTTR), usually it is faster and easier to use an export backup file for this purpose, but this doesn't mean RMAN is bad :) RMAN was, is and will be the best practice for Oracle's B&R.
Still you may assist your RMAN backup with a daily norows export backup and also maybe a file system backup depending on your environment and application's need. Backup's backup do not harm :)

Restore tablespace in RMAN is not working

Friends,
OS: RHEL AS 3.0
DB: 9iR2
New to RMAN
I am testing RMAN in our R&D server.
I just deleted one table in scott which is in the users tablespace.
then i went to rman.
SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE users OFFLINE IMMEDIATE';
RESTORE TABLESPACE users;
RECOVER TABLESPACE users;
SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE users ONLINE';
after that, i logged in to sqlplus as scott.
but i didnt find the table which i deleted.
I know i can restore the table by point in time recovery using SCN.
but why the above rman command is not working?
where im making mistake?
thanks

Hi there,
This wont work as the recovery you tried and did was a "complete recovery".The dropped table will come back with an "incomplete recovery".You just restored the datafile from the backup.Table drop is not an "error".You wanted it to happen , you did that.Its not an error for oracle.So you need to do "incomplete recovery".
I guess following might be useful for you.yo u need to recover till the time when the table was existing and you will lose data beyond that point.so thats why it is called incomplete recovery.

Rman restore command for tablespace...

Hi All,
I required your help to restore RMAN backup. I have not used RMAN any time before so no idea how to restore it.
Below is the syntax of backup which I get it from one of our DBA at remote side:
====================================================================================================
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET incremental level = 0 tablespace SYSTEM,SYSAUX,UNDOTBS2,SYS_AUDIT_1_D1,TOOLS,JISP_BIL1,JISP_BILL1_INDX plus archivelog
====================================================================================================
on the target database where I want to restore this database is running in no archive mode.
Can anyone guide me how to start /steps to restore tablespace backup into my environment.
thanks in advance.

I want to restore my data from the given backup only.
pls let me know how to do that.rman does not restore data, it restores database files. Of course the files contain data, but it is an important distinction. You cannot simply restore a tablespace (files that constitute a TS) from one database into another (unless you are dealing with transportable TS).

Why is Oracle RMAN restoring a datafile to a different diskgroup?

Hello,
When I was trying an RMAN restore of a datafile, I found it is restoring the datafile to a new location. Why is Oracle restoring a datafile to a different diskgroup instead of restoring to the original diskgroup where the datafile was originally present?
1) I have a datafile '+DATA3/slob1/datafile/undotbs2.260.819992871' which is on +DATA3 diskgroup
2) I am taking a backup on to +FRA diskgroup
3) I then offline and delete the datafile 5 using asmcmd to simulate the loss of a datafile
4) I perform restore and recover of datafile 5 from the backup set on +FRA
5) Unfortunately the datafile got restored on to +FRA instead of +DATA3. I realize that the file name can change because it is going to be a new file on ASM but I would assume this will be on the same diskgroup atleast since the control file has it pointing to '+DATA3/slob1/datafile/undotbs2.260.819992871' before restoration.
When I tested on file system, this gets restored on to file system correctly.
Anyone has any idea why the datafile was restored on to +FRA instead of +DATA3?
Below is the screen output of what I did.

Hello,
Can you check what is the value set for the parameter "db_create_file_dest" on the database ?

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Can rman restore tablespace to a different tablespace name?
