I am not sure how did this happen files do not spontaneously go missing.
but the file is present the OS level.error message would indicate that Oracle disagrees with your assessment.
do you have a recent RMAN backup of this DB?

Recover datafile

Hi All,
DB: 10g No Archive mode
OS: windows
I am unable to recover my datafile after renaming the same. Following are the steps that I have taken:
I have a old controlfile trace and the latest controlfile is lost. The old controlfile doesnt have the new datafile entry.So i am mounting the database with the old trace with resetlog option and then i will be renaming the unamed datafiles.
STARTUP MOUNTThen i create controlfile
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;Now the newly added datafile is as below:

Restoring and recovering datafiles in standby database

Hi,
oracle version : 8i(8.1.7.0.0)
os : sun solaris
I have scenerio where i lost some of the datafiles in standby database(physical standby) and i do have standby cold backup 3 months older since database size is 1TB is can i restore the the only lost files from cold backup and recover using archivelog files. since i only lost 4 data files of size 4gb each it will be faster compare to restoring the whole TB size database.
appreciated for valuable inputs.
Thanks

Recover datafile that has extended beyond OS limit?

We have a Linux server running Oracle 8.1.7 and we have a data file (users01.dbf) that had "autoextend" enabled and has now grown past the upper limit of the underlying filesystem. Oracle will not open the file, as the OS returns an error: "Linux Error: 75: Value too large for defined data type"
Here are some details:
OS: Redhat 7
Filesystem: Ext2
Oracle Ver: 8.1.7
DBF Size: >2gb
I have attempted to copy the .dbf files to a new server with little luck. Redhat 10 with Oracle 10 complained that the ctl files were corrupt, so I deleted them and recreated them based on the data files. After that, the DB indicated that the datafiles needed a media recovery, so I performed a "recover datafile..." on each of them successfully. Once I try to open the database, I get a "End of communication channel" error. I cannot mount it in Windows as the blocksizes are different (8192 vs. 4096)
I am at the end of my ideas on how to recover this file. Any suggestions?
I have thought of:
1. Bring a copy of 8.1.7 up on a new Redhat system running a newer FS (Reiser) and try to open the file
2. Add a new drive to the old sever and format that with the new FS, copy the dbf files there and point the DB to those files
Any tools that I try to run on the old server all hit the roadblock of the Linux:75 error.
Thanks for any ideas that come to mind.

Can you give more detail about how you tried to copy the database files?
First, I assume you are copying with the database down right?
I would not change versions of Oracle during the copy, only the OS.
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 will work with your version of Oracle but I cannot from memory remember what its OS limit is.
I would research either Suse 9 or Red Hat 9 and see if they work with your version of Oracle and support larger file limits.
This site appears not to have info on Oracle 8 http://www.puschitz.com/
However, he can had it in the past and he might provide some help.
I like the copy idea, but I think you might lose some data.
I'm thinking you will try this if you iron out the OS issue
Start the database mount

I wish you luck and no loss of data!

Recover datafile problem

Hi, I am using Oracle 7.3.4 on NT 4.
I am having problem with one of my rollback segments call HISTORY which contain two datafiles in e:\rollback\history.ora and f:\rollback\history.ora
This rollback segment was used for transfer old data to HISTORY datafile in
f:\HISTORY\HISTORY.ora
(the sql look like this -
set transaction use rollback segment history;
insert into history.bk_tableA
where ..... )
Recently the HISTORY rollback was droped by mistake. Since then I lost access to history tables( in HISTORY datafile). When I open the storage manager
it shows these 3 files are in recover status.
What is the relationship between the History rollback seqment and History datafile?
The list below were the errors I got when trying to recover a datafile
First attemp:
SVRMGR>
recover datafile 'f:\history\history.ora';
ORA-00279: Change 525082216 generated at 12/08/99 16:24:02 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: Suggestion : d:\ORANT\RDBMS73\%ORACLE_SID%25290.001
ORA-00280: Change 525082216 for thread 1 is in sequence #252904
Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00310: archived log contains sequence 252909; sequence 252904 required
ORA-00334: archived log: 'D:\ORANT\RDBMS73\ORCL25290.001'
I try auto, and even the suggested log file orcl25290.001 and still could not recover the datafile. It seems the recover program
cannot find the specific sequence # in the log file! Any suggestion?
Second attemp:
I try the incomplete, change base recovery -
SVRMGR>recover until chang 525082215
it shows Media recovery complete. Then, I open the database with
'alter database open noresetlogs'
But I still cannot access to that data file.
svrmgr>select count(*) from history.bk_sn_err;
count(*)
ora-00376: file 5 cannot be read at this time
ora-01110: data file 5: 'f:\history\history.ora'
From the storage manager the file is still in recover status.
Does the file been recovered at all?
Is it possible that I could drop the damaged
rollback segment and recreate a new one.
Should I be able to gain access to the f:\history\HISTORY.ora datafile?
[email protected]

Hi Micheal,
when you said you had dropped the history, did you drop the rollback segment or did you delete the history.ora file from the NT or did you drop the file from Oracle by doing an
alter database adatfile '...history...'offline drop?
also is your database running in archivelog mode?
depending on the above, you will have to use different methods to recover.
from the error messages you seem to be running with no archivelog mode so you have to offline drop the datafile.
If you do an offline drop on the datafile, then you will have to drop tha tablespace and recreate it.
Thanks,
Mandar

Diff btw "recover datafile file#" & "alter database recover datafile file#"

What is the difference between
"recover datafile file#"
"alter database recover datafile file#"
Thanks
Naveen

I don't mean to be rude, but the statement that "There is no difference in both the commands" is facile in the extreme. Sounds like more off-the-cuff instant advice than the considered thoughts of someone who's actually bothered to try both commands out.
The "alter database recover..." command is a disaster waiting to happen and should never be used by anyone who actually wants to achieve a successful database recovery. It has the effect of suppressing most of the interactive dialogue you get when you submit the shorter "recover..." command, and indeed causes spurious errors to be displayed because the non-interactive recovery process gets it wrong.
For example, here's me recovering my database using the "alter database" syntax:
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 4: 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\WIN10\USERS01.DBF'
SQL> alter database recover datafile 4;
alter database recover datafile 4

ORA-00280: change 642359 for thread 1 is in sequence #9Note the slightly alarming report of an 'error at line 1'. What's difficult to convey in mere text, however, is that at the end of that output, the thing just sits there, and you've no idea what on Earth is happening on the database. The text tells you it's making a suggestion, but there's no indication of how you accept the suggestion, of what's happening when you do accept it or where anything is up to.
I've interrupted one of those once (fortunately only in a training room) and lost the entire database as a result (because a half-complete, interrupted recovery is worse than no recovery at all).
Compare that with the plain "recover..." syntax example:
SQL> recover datafile 4;
ORA-00279: change 642359 generated at 07/04/2008 09:03:18 needed for thread 1

Log applied.
Media recovery complete.There are no weird error messages reported here. The suggestion is accompanied by a prompt that tells you how to accept it. Every time a new log is required, a new prompt is given. You can cleanly cancel at any time by typing 'cancel'. You are kept informed throughout and are in charge throughout.
Anyone that uses "alter database" syntax during a recovery is, therefore, either brave or foolhardy. In either case, there is a very profound difference between the two.
Your parting shot that 'alter database' is a SQL command and 'recover' can be an RMAN command misses the point by a wide mile, too. RMAN can issue pretty much any piece of SQL you like, so long as you wrap it in the SQL command:
RMAN> sql 'alter database recover datafile 4';
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

ORA-00280: change 642359 for thread 1 is in sequence #9We don't get much further in RMAN with this dodgy form of the recovery command than we did in SQL*Plus, it's true -but that's just because it's a silly command to use in the first place, wherever you thought to use it. The distinction you seek to draw between 'SQL commands' and 'RMAN commands' is false in this case, in other words.

I cannot recover my Master Password under 10.6.8. I want to change it. I do have my admin password for my account. How can I create a new master pw?

If you are referring the Master Password that can be set in System Preferences>Security>FileVault, then see this thread:
How to reset FileVault master password
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5822772
As explained there, and for obvious security reasons, a new master password created in this fashion way will not unlock any pre-existing FileVault accounts. Resetting the master password is therefore only useful after you turn off FileVault in all existing accounts. You can then turn FileVault back on after the new master password is in place.

HP ToolboxFX has encountered an error and cannot recover (HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP)

We have an HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP. Just starting receiving an error with the HP ToolboxFx on Windows 7 32 bit start-up. We can scan and the printer test prints, but it says the HP Toolbox has encountered an error and cannot recover. Please restart the HP Toolbox FX...or...toolbox version 006.15.01163. In toolbox screen, it says cannot connect to device.
I have tried a number of things and read posts, but still no luck. I can still scan, though. Help?

Hi,
Try installing the latest firmware of the printer, reboot both the printer and the PC and check for any difference:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-86043-11&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If that doesn't help, go to C:\HP Laserjet M1530 Basic Software\Utilities and follow the Scrubber.exe to uninstall the software (it may vary and may be named similar as NTScrubber for example).
Reboot your PC, go to Drive C and remove the M1530 Basic Software folder, then download and install the latest software below:

i took hot backup of my database using following command
rman>backup database;
in my case controlfile auto backup is off.
and i have lost my all controlfiles as well as datafiles except spfile.
i have recovered control file using dbms_backup_restore package.
know i am able to mount database using following command
rman> startup mount;
when i wrote following command
rman> restore database;
i got following error
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile name found to restore
enven i have backup of datbase.
can anybody tell me how to recover datafiles in this case.
thanking you
sohail

hi,
I think you might have a problem here as the error from RMAN is described in the following metalink note
Doc ID: Note:100565.1
You should change you backup script to be something like
rman {
backup database include current controlfile;
do you have any earlier backups of your database?
regards
Alan

ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery

I am trying to recover standby database, but it is giving the below error.
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery, recovery is already stated
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'I:\ORACLE\QAS\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'
when i checked in the alert log the recovery is not started. and later i hae given "alter database recover cancel' and the command end up with the below line
"media recovery not started".
it seems that the recovery has stuck in between.
please advise me how to kill the recovery session that's stuck. because i dont want to bounce the standby database.
thanks in advance.

Without dataguard and MRP, you are running a scripted standby.
In a scripted standby, a RECOVER DATABASE session would have an UNTIL clause (most likely UNTIL SEQUENCE). At the end of the recovery to that point (SEQUENCE#), it exits and shuts down the database.
Also, the scripting is such that when one RECOVER session is active, another session is not allowed to start. It may loop in wait state or exit and retry at the next scheduled interval.
Apparently your standby scripting is not robust enough to prevent another RECOVER session from starting off even as the first is active (and/or it doesn't have a proper UNTIL clause and stop, exit, shutdown actions)
What you have is a custom implementation of a standby database. Without complete details of the script, the "locking" between sessions (to prevent a second RECOVER from starting when one is already running) etc .... we really cannot do much to help you.
Your scripts should be maintaing status information . It should be possible for you to discover the "other" sqlplus session that has issued a RECOVER DATABASE but not yet exited (e.g. ... how about a simple "ps -ef |grep sql" and "ps -ef | grep ora" combination ??)

"Cannot recover" Error when opening InDesign doc

We are a Server 2008 w/ XP/SP3 client environment. I have a user that opens an InDesign doc located on a shared network drive, does some work on it, and closes it. When the next person opens it, they get this error: "Cannot recover <<filename>>.indd. Please try to open it using the File menu. The file <<filename>>.indd has been changed since Adobe InDesign last quit (Error code: 11). They can click "OK" to this. The next window that pops up has an error: This document contains links to missing or modified files. Click Fix Links Automatically to have InDesign update this document with the modified files and help you locate missing files..." there's more about using the links panel, etc. They click "don't fix" and the document opens. To the best of my knowledge it is happening on just one file.
I'm pretty sure the second error is because we recently took a server off-line that some of the links had been pointing to; I've informed my users they need to update the links in the files. It's the first error I'm wondering about. The first user I mention at the beginning has been having *tons* of trouble with InDesign the last week or so. It locks up, freezes panes, and needs to be ended through task manager. It's been unbearable for both her and myself trying to figure out what's wrong. My hurdle is that I don't use the software at all but I'm in IT support so so I'm in charge of troubleshooting but not sure where to begin.
Can someone please help with the error we are receiving and also, provide some suggestions on how I can troubleshoot the performance issues?
Her system specs:
XP2002/SP3
3GB RAM
P4 2.8GHz proc.
Not sure on the graphics card but can retrieve it will be helpful. User does use dual monitors.
TIA!

Reinstalling won't necessarily fix the kinds of problems you are having since they may have nothing to do with the application itself. I woud uninstall first, whenever possible, and immediately run any updates. Changing the preferences would be more productive as a first step though. Prefs are not automatically replaced on a new installation, either -- it depends on what option you chose during the uninstall.
For your questions:
1) When a file is opened, ID write a file with the extension .idlk in the same directory. This file tells any instance of ID that the file is already open and in use and prevents multiple users form having simultaneous access. It may or may not be deleted (usually not) during a crash scenario.
2) Generally speaking it is not possible for mere mortals to recover a corrupt ID file. Tommy Donovan at Adobe is collecting them for study, but makes no promise of recovery. The folks at Markzware say they have some luck using their ID2Q plugin for Quark Xpress to open and save as a Quark file, then going back the other way using Q2ID to convert back. They might do a on-off for a small fee.
3) Go to the link in the previous response, and scroll down to the part about repalcing preferences. Editing the prefs in the edit menu is not the same as replcing them with a new set. The files that need to be replaced are InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.
4) If there is something wrong on User 1's system that is corrupting the file, it would show up when User 2 opens it. Export the file to Interchange format (.inx), then open that file and save as a new .indd file. That can often clean up minor problems (i.e. those not serious enough to keep the file from opening at all).

Error during recover datafile - ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than ..

Hi,
we have got actual a serious problem in our database. Some days ago we created a new datafile for a tablespace in the wrong directory:
ALTER TABLESPACE "ANZSIIDX" ADD DATAFILE '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' SIZE 500M
We recognized our mistake and generated the datafile with the same name in teh right directory:
ALTER TABLESPACE "ANZSIIDX" ADD DATAFILE '/oralunaindex/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' SIZE 500M
We set the "wrong" datafile offline in order to rename and replace this in file in the right directory:
alter database datafile '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf' offline;
ALTER TABLESPACE 'ANZSIIDX'
RENAME DATAFILE '/oralunadata/anzora8/ANZSIIDX08.dbf',
TO '/oralunaindex/anzora8/ANZSIIDX09.dbf';
After this we wanted to bring the datafile online again with a recovery but
this fails with teh strange error-message:
SQL> recover datafile 109;
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
ORA-06512: at line 20

ORA-00280: change 10322956311023 for thread 1 is in sequence #315326
A similar thing happens with our RMAN backup from last weekend, which failed:
channel c4: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:32:33

ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows

Has anybody an idea, how can we bring back the datafile online in order to run succesfull an RMAN backup?
Actually we see just the workaraound to move the objects from the affected tablespace to new tablespace
and the drop the empty tablespace what would be quite time consuming and not really practicable for us.
kind regards,
Marco

I guess it is a bug of oracle which will sometimes occur when you give two datafiles the same name in different directories that this poduces errors as above in the RMAN inerface(packages)!?
Maybe we could force to set he tablespace offline, rename the new added datafiles and ry to bring the tablespace online but nobody knows if it works really and we get the tablespace online again?
Therefore at the moment maybe it's the best way to move the objects away from this tablespace and than drop them, isn't it?

Why Oracle Linux 5 cannot recover disk space after delete files ?

Folks,
Hello. When I create a Virtual Machine for Oracle Linux 5 to install EBS R12, I allocate 300GB to the VM. I download EBS R12 Source Files (45.7GB) and unzip the files (46GB). Total size of stage area directory(EBS_R12) is 91.7GB.
Because some files are corrupted and cannot install, I move the folder EBS_R12 into trash but cannot empty trash. I move EBS_R12 from trash back to the directory. Then at root user, use command "rm -rf " to delete EBS_R12 completely.
I shut down Oracle Linux 5 and restart it, 91.7GB disk space cannot recover.
I download some other files into Oracle Linux files and then delete those files, but disk space cannot be recovered either.
It seems that OEL5 virtual disk only can expand but cannot be reduced. The VM disk space is less than 200GB now and not enough to install EBS R12.
Can any folks tell me how to make 91.7GB disk space and some more disk space come up ?

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
Host OS is Windows 7, Guest OS is Oracle Linux 5 on the top of VMPlayer 3. The VM of Oracle Linux 5 is created on the external USB drive and not on the local hard disk.
There is a directory /tmp/VMwareDnd/376c7cae/EBS_R12 in Oracle Linux 5 file system. I copy/Paste the folder of EBS_R12 from Windows 7 into Oracle Linux 5. All of zip files and unzipped files are placed in the folder of EBS_R12.
After EBS_R12 is deleted, the external USB drive(F:) doesn't come up 91.7GB disk space.
My question is:
Where to run "boot>linux rescue" command ?
Does this command work correctly in the external USB drive ?
