Clone from recovery catalog

Hi,
Every month i am doing duplicate from prod to test database,from coming month i have to change my strategy to do clone from standby instead of production.so i have created recovery catalog and registered my standby.my queston ,is it possible to do duplicate from recovery catalog to test database.if possible,this is my connection
rman catalog rman/rman123@catdb auxiliary /;,and i should do any modification in Recovery catalog. pls suggest me to do the cloning from RC.if possible
my database 10.2.aix server.
Regards
Faruk

You can use a recovery catalog when doing a cloning / DUPLICATE.
Note, however, the 10.2 restrictions on the DUPLICATE Command : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126
You must be connected to both the target database and auxiliary instance. The auxiliary instance must be started with the NOMOUNT option, and the target database must be mounted or open. The target database cannot be a standby database.

Switching RMAN from Recovery Catalog DB to target db controlfile

I have a doubt.
Is it possible to make RMAN to use controlfile, from using Recovery Catalog(RC) DB ?
The scenario is like this:
I have a target db and a RC db. The RMAN presently uses RC db for backup and recovery.
Due to some reasons, I want the RMAN to use target db controlfile, instead of RC.
Is there anyway to perform this?
If yes, I need the RMAN to understand and use backup sets, which are taken before switching to controlfile based backup (That is, controlfile should understand backup sets, which have backed-up using RC )
Is there a way to perform these tasks?

Hi,
The rman backup information in the controlfile has a limitation due to space constraints in the controlfile.
Oracle uses the parameter "control_file_record_keep_time" which defaults to 7 days to purge rman backup information from the controlfile. (So if you run rman backups the backup information in the controlfile will be automaticly purged.)
If you run rman using a catalog the controlfile will synchronize new informaton to the catalog at the start of every backup but it won't actively purge information from the catalog. So the catalog (next to other features) has the ability to store information longer than the controlfile. (Delete commands will be needed to purge information from the catalog.)
Due to some reasons, I want the RMAN to use target db controlfile, instead of RC.
Is there anyway to perform this?Just skip the connect to the catalog in your script.
If yes, I need the RMAN to understand and use backup sets, which are taken before switching to controlfile based backup > (That is, controlfile should understand backup sets, which have backed-up using RC )This is not easy to answer, your restore might work if the backup information is still available in the controlfile (younger than control_file_record_keep_time). Success is not related to the fact the backup was taken with the controlfile and RC at the same time.

Tycho

Query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database

Hi,
How to get the recovery catalog database name from the registered target database?
i dont know my recovery catalog database for my target database.
I know we can use the query
select * from rc_database;
from recovery catalog database to know all the registered database with the recovery catalog but I want to know is there any way or query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database to which the target database is registered
With Regards
Boobathi P

You can check the backup scripts which you use to backup your target database to get the catalog database name.
And check the corresponding connect string in TNSNAMES.ORA file or tnsping to get the server details of the catalog database.

Unregistering of a database from RMAN Catalog

Hello,
We had set up RMAN backup though RMAN Catalog for one of our database.
We later decided not to take the backups of this particular database. One of the DBA did something but what we can see now is that -
1. Target database is not registered in the catalog so no information can be gathered rman prompt after connecting to catalog through target database
2. But the recovery catalog "rc_backup_datafile" is showing as if it has old backups
We know that the tapes don't have the backup of this database.
Question - How to remove information from recovery catalog for a database in such a situation where although the database is not registered in the catalog but somehow the information related to old backups still persists in the catalog tables.
Thanks!

Thanks Tycho, for my purpose DBMS_RCVCAT.UNREGISTERDATABASE worked fine.
I have another question though -
We have compressed backup for one of the database/
If I look at backupset by executing "list backupset xxxxxxx;" command it shows the correct compressed value (in GB) of the backup set.
BUT when I look at the rc_backup_datafile table of the rman catalog for the size of of the backupset, it shows the uncompresses size of the backupset. I am using following query -
select BS_KEY,SUM(blocks*block_size)/1024/1024/1024 GB from rc_backup_datafile where DB_NAME='CCSTG04' and BS_KEY=1 group by BS_KEY;
Question - How to check the compressed size of the backupset from the Catalog tables/views?
Thanks for your help on this!
Thanks!

Error installing recovery catalog

Hi,
Inorder to implement RMAN in oracle 10g in windows environment I created a separate table space for rman and created a user as rman1;
then I issued the following commands :
GRANT connect, resource, recovery_catalog_owner TO rman1
grant create session to rman1;
grant create type to rman1;
then i entered into rman from dos prompt,
rman catalog=rman1/rman1@tc
from rman prompt I issued the command,
create catalog tablespace RMAN1;
then the following error occurs,

Hi Ora 83,
What is the reason of this error ? The reason for the RMAN-20242 is there are no archivelogs which comply to the filter "until time 'SYSDATE-2'" at 18 Jan 22:42.
Probably you run a purge command more frequent because the oldest logsequence available for backup was created at:
2011 JAN 17 17 00 01 (=sequence=7348)
and the latest at:
2011 JAN 18 22 42 01 (=sequence=7354)
according to your output.
So for some reason the archivelogs created before 16th Jan 22:42 are not on the system as well as the archivelogs created between 16th Jan 22:42 and 17 Jan 17:00.
Maybe there are none (you can check in the alertlog and let us know)?
Regards,

I'm using oracle8i with Window/Nt
i have two database U10 and U20.
Using recovery manager, target db is U10 and recovery catalog of U10 is saved in U20.
i followed method in oracle8i manual(Rman Part)
when i attempt to connect rman, following message bothers me..
C:\WINDOWS>RMAN CATALOG RMAN/RMAN@U20
Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.6.0.0 - Production
RMAN-06008: connected to recovery catalog database

RMAN-06433: error installing recovery catalog
i'm so hectic... plz help me....

Based on the following errors:
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: ORA-02112: PCC: SELECT..INTO returns too many rows
RMAN-06097: text of failing SQL statement: select user into :b1 from dual
It looks like the table dual has more than 1 row.
select * from dual;
What do you get?
It should look like this:
D
X
1 row selected.
Your recovery catalog database may have a problem. You may need to start over and recreate the recovery catalog.

Registering Clone database in Recovery catalog

Can we able to register the clone database in recovery catalog database without changing dbid?
I don't want to use dbid utility.
Is that any parameter?
Regards,
Latha

Well you can register it without changing any parameters in oracle 10.2
That does not mean you should do it.
I would have answered as follows:
It is not a good idea to register a clone database in the same recovery catalog as the original database as the recovery catalog uses the dbid to identify the database and having two databases with the same dbid essentially corrupts the recovery catalog.
If you change the dbid then it is perfectly okay to store the cloned database in the same recovery catalog.

From no recovery catalog to recovery catalog

sorry for the message to be posted 2nd time due to error in internet connection.

Hi Nitesh Jain!
First thing to do ist to register all your database in the RC (RC = Recovery Catalog)
test@localhost> rman target system/oracle@PRODDB1 catalog catowner/password@CATDB
REGISTER DATABASE;
exit;
In this example PRODDB1 is your first production Database and CATDB ist your Catalog database. The REGISTER DATABASE Command registers your DB in the RC. Do this step for all your productiv DBs.
Next thing to do is to resync your controlfile with your RC for all your productiv DBs.
i]test@localhost> rman target system/oracle@PRODDB1 catalog catowner/password@CATDB
RESYNC CATALOG;
exit;
RESYNC CATALOG takes all Information from your controlfiles and puts it into your RC.
This should be all. You can use LIST BACKUP to check whether your Backups are registered in your RC or not. If you have to register Backups manually try the CATALOG START WITH '/path_to_your_backups/' Command. You can read about it in the Onlinedocumentation in the RMAN Reference.
Hope this helps!

Oracle 10.2.0.4 RMAN Duplicate without a Recovery Catalog

Production Backups are Tuesday - Sunday at 22:00:
RUN {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK;
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
CROSSCHECK BACKUP;
DELETE NOPROMPT COPY OF ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-2';
DELETE NOPROMPT BACKUP;
BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
CROSSCHECK BACKUP;
RELEASE CHANNEL c1;
LIST BACKUPSET;
EOF
I have these files sent over to the development server on Wednesday, RMANbackup (log), backupset and the controlfile:
rcp -rp /backup/$1/flash_recovery/$2/RMANbackup/* kacdb4:/backup/common/flash_recovery/$2/RMANbackup
rcp -rp /backup/$1/flash_recovery/$2/backupset/* kacdb4:/backup/common/flash_recovery/$2/backupset
rcp -rp /backup/$1/flash_recovery/$2/controlfile/* kacdb4:/backup/common/flash_recovery/$2/controlfile
I run the RMAN Duplicate and the database gets created with no problems!
The question is: If I wait unit Thursday, to run the duplicate script, I get the traditional RMAN errors: RMAN-03002, RMAN-03015, RMAN-06026, RMAN-06023:
Starting restore at 20-SEP-12

Recovery Manager complete.
Is this because of the 'SYSDATE-2' in the RMAN runlist? Does RMAN connect back to the target and it does not find the logs, because they've been deleted, it aborts the duplicate? I've shipped over the backupset and controlfile of the scn I'm using in the duplicate runlist all is there? If I'm trying to cleanup the archive area, would'nt 'delete expired archivelog all' in my runlist, be better than using the 'SYSDATE-2'?
Or is it because of this database parameter:
control_file_record_keep_time= 7, should I set this to say 14?
Is it one of these RMAN configurations:
Retention Policy to Redundancy 1, should I set this to say 7?
Datafile Backup Copies for Device Type Disk to 1, to say 3, this takes up disk space which is precious
Archivelog Backup Copies for Device Type Disk to 1, to say 3, this takes up disk space too
Archive deletion policy to none change this to the other option?
I've tested this a few times now, and always fails if the dupicate is not done the next day.
If I have to create a development database on a Friday from Tuesday's copy FROM TAPE, I will get the error, because the files are no longer on disk.
What can I do to ensure that I can create an RMAN duplicate any day of the week from Tuesday to Sunday?
Look forward to your answer.
Please let me know if I left any details out that you may need.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Burns

I dont know from where recovery catalog is getting the information in bold.
I have crosschecked and deleted archives and resynced the catalog several times. Immediatly after doing that the backup works fine, but the other day its the same thing all over again.

Do you have any other DBs with the same DBID as the one you are backing up? Are they connect to the same RMAN catalog?

How to install the Recovery Catalog

Hi:
How to install the recovery catalog? I used the following commands from the menu and it didn't work:
connect rman/rman
@?/rdbms/admin/catrman
There is no catrman.sql exists.
Thank you very much.

If you are using Oracle8i, make sure your compatibility is set to at least 8.1.0 and you are connected to the catalog database. Then type create catalog; at the RMAN command line.

Clone from recovery catalog
