Creating a standbay database from an rman backup

hi,
I have a situation that a standby database has a large gap in archive log files, the primary server does not now have those files. I understand that you can create a standby from an rman backup of the primary but all reading I have done shows thatn you have to have a recovery catalog to carry this out. The system I am on does not have such a catalog so is there any other way to do this?
regards
Alan

Requirement 'You must have a recovery catalog in a standby requirement' is a little bit misleading. In fact you can do what you want : creating a standby from RMAN backups without having a recovery catalog. 'Duplicate target database for standby' does not require a connection to a recovery catalog.
You need mandatorily a recovery catalog, when you plan to take backups from the standby later on in order to free the primary from this task. The reason for that is it's not possible to transfer backup records from the standby controlfiles to the primary ones directly. After a backup on the standby you resync the catalog with the standby controlfile. Then you connect to the catalog and the primary,resync again and have actual backup informations in the primary controlfiles. When there's a media recovery problem, you easily can restore/recover the primary.

Create a database from 8i RMAN backup

Hi,
I am in need to recover some historic data from a historic database's RMAN backup.
The situation is ... I have one old RMAN backup of a 8i database which includes datafiles, archivellog files and control files. Init.ora file is also available.
I have installed the 8i software in a host and created the oracle service through ORADIM and pwd file through ORAPWD utility. Then copied the init.ora file under 'C:\Oracle\ADMIN\ORCL\PFILE' and the RMAN backup files under 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE' folder.
Now I can start the instance with the init.ora file but can not mount as control files are not there. when I try to restore the control files through RMAN as...
RMAN> run
2> {
3> restore controlfile;
4> }
RMAN-03022: compiling command: restore
RMAN-03022: compiling command: IRESTORE
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources

RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: IRESTORE
RMAN-06172: not connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN>
Now without the catalog database how can I restore the control files and the database from the RMAN backup?
I think the old RMAN metadata was stored in catalog database.
Any suggestion please?
regards

Sorry I wrongly said that I do not have the DBID, I have DBID but I have controlfile backup as RMAN backupset, not in Binary. So even if I set DBID, RMAN asks for the catalog database, which is not available.
As I worked...

Create a database from 32bit rman backup with NEW name on a 64bit system

Hello,
i'm more programmer than database admin but i need to set up a 10gR2 apex development server based on our productive instance in a short time.
For that i want to use a rman backup of the productive machine (SLES 10 32bit, DB10GR2+ASM, APEX 3.1).
Because of the less time i got, i want to use an existing machine (SLES 11 64bit, DB10GR2+ASM) as destination.
On this machine i want to create a new instance from the backup i took. I Already read note 881395.1 but i'm quite unsure about 2 things
a) It's VERY IMPORTANT that the development instance has another name than the productive instance.
When i follow 881395.1 and set the enviromental variable ORACLE_SID to another new name. Will this be all? Or will there be problems using another SID because of references in the controlfile or sth. like that?
b) It's VERY IMPORTANT that the datafiles aren't stored in the same path and with the same names as the productive instance. It is another server but there is already a copy of the database (our dba tried to set up a standby solution on this machine) and i don't want to bother this!
How can i rename the datafiles before restoring the backup from scatch?
I found this: set newname for datafile 1 to '<filesystem based filename>';
Will this help? Do i need to rename every single file? Or is it possible to set a path in which all datafiles will be restored?
c) What about the 32bit to 64 bit thing? Will this work? Or do i need to convert the database? How? RMAN Convert?
Or could RMAN convert anyhow used to realize the whole thing?
Thank you very much for your support!
Regards
Daniel

Creating a test database from backups of the production

Hello Experts,
I am a newbie with very much new in Oracle. I have been provided with the inc0 backup(which comprises even the controlfile backup) of the production database (PROD) taken through RMAN and asked to create a new test database (TEST) using the backup. Can anyone please provide me the steps on how to restore it and create the new database ?
Database version 10.2.0.4
I am aware of duplicate database concept using RMAN, but I have been asked to not to connect to the target (PROD) database while duplicating. So, I need to create the test database by using the backup of prod database without connecting to PROD database. Please guide me.

Refer
http://arjudba.blogspot.in/2008/05/restore-and-recover-database-to-new.html
RMAN restore database from another backup of different database name
When you are restoring using the backup of the production database, the db_name would be same on the auxiliary database. Once you restore and recover the database in your test server, you can change the db_name from prod to test by recreating the controlfile

Problem to copy database from the hot backup

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0
SunOS 5.8
Hi all,
I wrote the UNIX script to copy the production Oracle 9i database from the hot backup to the Oracle 9i development database. I already did it manually without any problems using Metalink document Note:18070.1
The script stops after the command
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile ,
because I have to apply all archived logs manually.
How is it possible to get rid of this problem and automatically apply archived logs?
Thank you in advance for your help.

P.S. We are not authorized to use RMAN. We dont get your point?
Who stops you using RMAN?
How did you take the hot backup then?
There are couple of good notes on metalink, and below is one of them,

Hi Friends,
My database version is oracle 10.2.0 O/s : Windows
I have a production database of an outlet. Yesterday night 11pm they have done some wrong transactions and whole stock is showing wrong.
They have taken a export backup at 9.30 pm and latest archives are there.
We have a rman backup on April-30,2008. when I am trying to restore from the old rman backup the controlfile I am unable to do it.
Can any one of you help me out.
thankyou
satya

Hi,
I have tried installing in a seperate system and restore the rman backup, as I do not have the controlfile I have taken a standby controlfile and started restoring the rman backup as the old rman backup dbid is different with the current dbid and giving me following error:

Creating physical standby database from another physical standby database

hi,
We have one production database and one physical standby of the production. Now we have situation where we need to create one database from either production or from standby. As production is loaded we can not do it using active database option. Now we have the only option to copy the database from standby.
As of now we open the standby and copy it using rman duplicate database and again we put it back to standby mode.
Is it possible to create standby database from standby database only?
Oracle version : 11.1.0.7.0
I have seen procedure allowing to do the same in version 11.2.0.3. I have tried searching for the difference but didn't find when this feature was introduced.
Thanks,
Ketul Patel

Hello;
Active duplicate should work when connected to Standby as source Database. However there's a bug 11715084 which is not fixed until version 11.2.0.4.
If patch 11715084 is available for your version it may work, but all the 11.1.0 are gone so I have no way to test.

Create Data Guard Using ASM Managed RMAN backup

we have an oracle database 11.1.0.7 working on Windows server 2003 (64bit). The storage in ASM managed (same 11.1.0.7). Our total database size is 4TB.
I will have to create a physical standby database (Data Guard) of this instance. Now I am having issues on how to transport my RMAN backup pieces (which is also ASM managed).
I cannot do an over the network RMAN backup because it will take months to complete.
We have external 4 hard disks (2 TB each). But my RMAN backup pieces are ASM in format.
Any ideas on how to easily create a data guard in this set up.

can you provide us any clear steps....Hope you asked for Restoring from backups.
1) Prepare PFILE and put in nomount status.
2) Restore standby controlfile
RMAN> restore standby controlfile from '+DG/...'
3) Mount controlfile
SQL> alter database mount standby database;
4) Restore database.
If you are restoring into another diskgroups, then use as below.
RUN {
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '+Dg1/....';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO "+Dg1/...';
RESTORE DATABASE
If same diskgroup you want to use then, just give RMAN> restore database;
After successful restore
5) Start MRP
SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;

Is it possible to restore database from a full backup without controlfile?

Hi,
I have done a full backup for the database oracle 11g using:
run{
allocate channel c1 type disk;
set limit channel c1 kbytes 102400;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup full tag 'dbfull' format 'd:\dbbackup\f_%d_%u_%s_%p_%t' database include current controlfile;
backup archivelog all delete input format 'd:\dbbackup\al__%d_%u_%s_%p_%t';
release channel c1;
but, I deleted all the datafiles include all control files.
Is it possible to restore the database?
Is there a way to restore the control file from the backup files?

Thanks Werner!
I finally find the correct backuppiece for the controlfile.

How to recovery the database from a complete backup

I have a 10.2.0.3 database with archive log enabled.
I do a cold backup of database every Sunday night.
I shutdown the database, copy all the database files, control files and redo logs to a backup disk.
Then the database started and running again.
I am trying to test my backup and make sure I can recovery the database to the most current stage using the Sunday backup and the archive logs.
for example: use the backup from 4/01/2012, recover the database to today 4/04/2012 9:00am.
What's the steps of doing this?
I tried to copy all the Sunday backup files to the correct location, start the database, the database is started successfully. However, I don't know how to apply the logs from since the Sunday backup upto now.
Thanks a lot!

hi,
rman is your friend to do backups, restores and recovers of database.
to do a full recover of database, for example to do a test on your current test database (no in crash):
rman time:
startup nomount;
restore controlfile;
alter database mount;
sql now
select archivelog_change#-1 from v$database;
then go back to rman and do the following :
RMAN> run{
2> set until scn xxxxxx;
3> restore database;
4> recover database;
5> alter database open resetlogs;
6> }
**where xxxxx is the result of your sql query
HTH
--edit:
forgot to told that You will need to set your ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID env variables

Restoring 20/25 % from the RMAN Backup

Hello Guys,
I have a production environment with size of TBytes, and I would like to create a new test environment but with a smaller amount of data, so i need to take a hot full backup from the database then restore only 20% to 25% from the original data to a new fresh database.
The question, is this scenario Doable ?, do we have particular way to do this approach ?
Thanks for your help !

Hello Paul,
You mean that if i have some constraints, it will be difficult to take the backup using the expdp ?, now we are deciding to use the expdp/impdp to take the backup from the production database and restore it in a new fresh database, please consider that we will use the SAMPLE to take around 20% to 25% from the original data.
Do we have have any restrictions for this scenario ?
Thanks for your help.
Mahmoud Darwish.The problem is that the SAMPLE (or nothing else inherent in expdp) is going to know about cross-table relationships. So it samples 20% of your invoice_detail table. What's to tell it which rows from invoice_header are needed to match those specific invoice_detail rows?

Create a second database from an existing ORACLE_HOME

DB Version:11.1.0.6.0
OS : AIX
We have a database running for an OLTP test environment. We need to create another database of same version (11.1.0.6.0) for Datawarehousing needs. The init.ora parameter are going to be different for this. So we need to create another database.
We are having some issues with dbca due to some JAVA related errors. So, we need to use the 'CREATE DATABASE' statement.
This is what i am going to do.
1. create an init.ora file for the new db and copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
2. Set the env variables
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_SID= <sid of the database which i am going to create>
3.
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initora318.ora
4. Copy, Paste the Create Database statement.
Are these steps right?
I know that Enterprise Manager would not be configured using this method. But configuring EM shouldn't be a complex exercise.Right?
Edited by: N.Page on 11-Sep-2009 00:28

Just a small note: You can save "database create scripts" from dbca in any other system(use the same main version please) if your db server has issues. In this way you can get the original scripts and you wont forget any steps...
