CONTROL FILE RECOVERY
HI
CAN anyone tell me
how can i perform recovery if all my control files get lost,and i have cold backup datafiles and control files of last week. so pls suggest me how recovery will
be performed i.e datfile header is showing me scn 102346
and control file contains older scns .
and my database is in archive log mode.
If you do not have a backup of current control file, you cannot restore your database to the time when the failure occurred.
In simple words, the old control file would not know anything about the new archive logs.Satish,
Think about what you said. If you backup at 1am every night and archivelogs every 4 hours and you lose the storage volumes holding the database and controlfiles and redo logs at 6pm ... how would you recover the database ? The controlfile backup of 1am "does not know anything about the new archive logs" from 1am to 6pm, and yet you have ArchiveLog backups upto 4pm.
Would you tell your manager that you can't recover the database as of upto 4pm ?
(whether you use RMAN or do not use RMAN , whether you use a Catalog or do not use a Catalog with RMAN, those questiosn are irrelevant).

Reg : control file recovery...
Hi gurus,
I am running oracle 9.1 db. Suddenly my DB get crashed and after that I could not able to start my db. During startup an error has been raised at the time of mount. The cause of the error is bcoz of Control file has been locked due to previous ubnormal db shutdown and while startup it could not able to open the control file..
I didn't have any backup of controlfile...
Is there any way to create a control file in nomount state and make the db up...
Thanks for your help..
regards.in this situation,
start instance with nomount option
if you know the location and sizes of your datafiles, then, use create controlfile command to create a new controlfile. Once you done with it, you can start db with this newly created controlfile. -

Upto this i was clear, but now i cann't understand when you actually dropped the control file from you database(in running stat) how can you perform "alter system checkpoint" and other "alter tablespace.." command?

Recovery using backup control file
Hello friends,
I have a scenario where i am unable to recover by database by using backup control file option can u pls give ur expert advice.
1) Database is working in ARCHIVE MODE.
2) One of my file was READ ONLY when i take my closed backup. At this time
v$log file output is :
group# thread# sequence# bytes member arc status first_change#
1 1 8 8192 2 yes inactive 4697463
2 1 9 8192 2 yes active 4717493
3 1 10 8192 2 no current 4717738
3) After 2-3 log switches i have made it READ WRITE.
4) After making it READ WRITE i have taken controlfile backup by using
ALTER SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'E:\ORACLE\CONTROL01.CTL';.
5) Again i have make some log switches.
6) Shutdown my database using SHUTDOWN option.
7) Copy my SYSTEM,UNDO,USER,INDEX datafiles from my backup (taken at
step 2) and CONTROL file (taken at step 4).
8) I have not copied my old redo log files so those are new.
9) I mount database & then use this command to recover database :
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
10) My recovery process starts applying archived log files and applied upto
sequence no 9. When it starts applying last one 10 which is online redo log
and not yet archived my recovery process fails by giving this error:
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log 'd:\oracle\oradata\practice\archive\1_10.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
11) I try to open database using :
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
it gives following warning:
Error at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: datafile 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PRACTICE\SYSTEM01.DBF'
Please guide me why it is so ?
Whether in BACKUP CONTROL FILE CASES system didn't recognise ONLINE REDO LOG FILES or it is anything else.
Regards
SethiHi,
>>I am not using RMAN. I am taking user managed backups. Moreover i have tried what u said that make checkpoints also but again i came to the same result when it try to apply last archived log which was current redo log when database was started to shutdown it says unable to find the specified file & then when i open database using resetlogs it says system file needs media recovery.
it show error because you are using wrong approach of Recovery.
Alter database open Resetlog command is used only in incomplete recovery.
but your are giving
Recover database command,it means ur performing full recovery (means you have apply online redo logfile.) and after applying it you should open the database with Alter database Open command.
No need to give resetlog option.
Again Restore all backup;
Issue Recover database;
and open the database with
Alter database open;
Thanks

Now, if it not possible to get above backup piece back, then how to proceed with restore with backup piece DF_L0_HFM11PRD_10112012_l8npv5b6_13992_1 as it also has control file backup and available on disk, not obsolete. I can understand the reason for marking CF* file as obsolete because of redundency 1. But how to proceed with restore with available backup ?Hello;
I would change my configure for one :
RMAN>CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;Would use this to check :
list backup of controlfile completed before <date>And would catalog everything again just to be sure before starting the restore.
You may have to catalog use the control file piece to avoid the error.
RMAN> catalog backuppiece ...Another idea is to test the restore using something like this :
RMAN> run {
set until time "to_date('2012 NOV 17 07:00','YYYY MON DD HH24:MI')";
restore controlfile preview;
}Best Regards

Drop a datafile from physical standby's control file
Hi,
I am trying to create a physical standby database for my production...
1) I have taken cold backup of my primary database on 18-Nov-2013...
2) I added a datafile on 19-nov-2013 ( 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF' )
3) Standby control file was generated on 20-ov-2013 (today) after shutting down and then mounting the primary database...
When i try to recover the newly setup standby using archive files, i am getting the following error (datafile added on 19th Nov is missing)
SQL> recover standby database;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01110: data file 39: 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF'
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 39 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 39: 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF'
How to overcome this situation...
Can i delete the entry for the newly added datafile from the backup control file ?
When i tried to delete datafile using "alter tablespace SFMS_BR_DATA drop datafile 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF';", it is showing that database should be open..

Hi,
What is your version?
If you added new datafile or created new tablespace, take backup again for restore new created standby database.
If your standby database running well, DG configuration success, then this datafile will create on standby side, too.
Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO best practice.
When i try to recover the newly setup standby using archive files, i am getting the following error (datafile added on 19th Nov is missing)

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors

Not need any delete datafile from standby side, you must recreate standby database, or you can take RMAN backup and restore to standby side again.

It is not logical, Physical standby must be bit-for-bit same with Primary database.

Job output is no longer available in the database control file
Im running my rman backup with Oracle Enterprise manager grid control 10.2.0.1.
In nocatalog mode.
When I look for the job output in the "View Backup Report" section, it says
Job output is no longer available in the database control file.
Here is my rman setup:
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:

anyone knows why i cannot see my rman job output?show parameter control_file_record_keep_time;

The backup is usually the last one. And it's the day before.
If i go to the JOB tab in oem, then click on the job detail, i can see the detail of my rman backup. But i cannot see the backup detail in the View Backup Report section off the database. It says the error message : Job output is no longer available in the database control file -

Lost all Control files (Want to Recover)
Hi
I have a database in archive log mode and we take a rman hot backup everyday. We are not using the recovery catalog. I lost all the control files
few days ago. I have a control file to trace and that was generated 20 days ago. This is our test database. I want to recover it. I don't know if we have
done any physical changes or not after the creation of this text file to create a control file. Database is still up and running.
Any help will be appreciated?
Thanks in AdvanceIf the control is restored from the rman backup lets say it is 3 days old, then how to update the same control file with the current database statistics.

Hi,
I am interested in time of snapshot control file creation.
I have read that snapshot control file is created before the backup take the place. I have tried to take the simple rman>backup database command, but I have seen that snapshot control file is created after all backup process (I have seen the time of creating the snapshot control file).
Can anybody tell me about this? When the snapshot control file is created (before backup, maybe in the memory, because I can't see it on the file system).
Regards,
DraganHi,
I have read this sentence from Oracle Database 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery:
RMAN needs to get a consistent view of the control file when it sets out to make backup of every datafile. It only needs to know the most recent checkpoint information and file schematic information at the time backup begins. After the backup starts, RMAN needs this information to stay consistent for duration of the backup operation; in other words, it needs a read consistent view of the control file. With the constant updates from the database, this is nearly impossible - unless RMAN were to lock the control file for the duration of the backup. But that would mean the database could not advance checkpoint or switch logs or produce new archive logs. Impossible.
To get around this, RMAN uses the snapshot control file, an exact copy of your control file that is only used by RMAN during backup and resync operations. At the beginning of these operations, RMAN refreshes the snapshot control file from the actual control file, thus putting a momentary lock on the control file. Then, RMAN switches to the snapshot and uses it for the duration of the backup; in this way, it has read consistency without holding up database activity.
I must ask you if I am using control file only (not recovery catalog) what is happening when I am executing simple RMAN command> backup database;
You have said that I don't create snapshot of control file at that moment, only at the end of the backup process (I have also try it in my environment and snapshot is created at the end of the backup process).
How RMAN knows what to backup (which files), he takes this information from original control file (not from snapshot) I suppose.
What is happening when he finished backup of some backup set, he writes that information again in original control file I suppose.
And at the end of all process why he takes snapshot of control file (to backup control file from it, not from original control file, because control file is always changing, need to lock it). In that snapshot control file (and in the its backup) we will have the pointers on files that are made after the backup process started (is this true).
Thanks,
Regards

Problem while Creating Control files while Cloning the Oracle DB
Hi,
I am failrly new to Oracle Administration. I have got the task of cloning our Production database into a new machine. With the help of various articles found over the web I have followed the below mentioned steps
1)Executed the Alter database command for getting the control file copy.
2) Taken the Datafiles,Control and redo log files copies into the Target machine.
3) Copied the Pfile with the neccessary changes into the target machine.
4) Edited the Create Control file syntax (generated from step 1) and executed the same on the target machine.
Now the problem I face is that I get the following error while executing the create Control file syntax
a)ORA-01503 - Creation of Controlfile failed.
b) ORA-00219 - Required controlfile size 41760 exceeds max allowable size 20000.
I am really stuck. Both my machine configurations and O/S installed are the same.
Please advice me on how to Proceed... Thanking you all in advannce.

Hi,
I'm in a problem, please some one guide me how to do it.
Our Production DB (9.2.0.1.0) is running on Solaris 9. We have a major crash of hard disk.
I have a cold backup of Sunday & now all the datafiles are in tact. Data files are in external storage.
I have lost my all of the control files.
I have restored the control file from the cold backup.
I'm able to go till mount stage & after that is throwing an error the datafiles are not in sync.
Any one can suggest how to go further to get it done.
Regards

I tried the UNTIL CANCEL option & got a different error:
