Database Backup oracle

Hi
I want to take the backup of the oracle(10g) database.
I am using Windows OS. I dont know what userId and Password to give in the Host Credentials in the below link.
The default username and password didn't work.
I have also tried expdb for taking backup. but there too i got some credential error.
Can anyone help me in this issue?....

Hi,
You can give sys/passwd or oracle username/passwd depends on you are requirement.
If you want to take full backup the user should have privilege(EXP_FULL_DATABASE privilege).
You can check the below links for you are reference..
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/data-pump-enhancements-11gr1.php
Export full DB/Import full DB privilege
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/Export
you are using expdp command right ? Dont use expdb...
Thanks ,

How to use icons (database, database backup, save, delete etc.) in Oracle f

Hi Everyone,
I am using Oracle forms 5.
I want to use iconic buttons in Oracle forms 5 for database, database backup, save, delete etc.
Example:
Like Oracle Enterprise Manager, a GUI tool, we can see the different icons for different items (icon for database backup, database etc).
How should I get these icons? How should I attach these icons to the buttons/Image item in Oracle Forms ?
Should I give the file path of these icons in property palette of an item in Oracle forms?
If yes, then which property of item, will I use in order to attach the icons?
Please send the solution.
If some one can also send the related icons, I will thankful to him.
Regards
Martin

Hi FRANKS,
Thanks for your useful information.
WIth regards to attach icons to button/text item in Oracle forms,I am still facing problem.
As you said, I created the parameter/variable UI_ICONS in Forms Home and gave the value pointing to the directory holding the .ico files.
And then set the iconic property of the button and the icon's name without its extension.
But it didn't work.Could ypu please let me know what is going wrong?
I am thankful to you.
Martin

Oracle database backup

I want to format my hard disk. but i want to take a copy of my oracle database
so anyone can please give me the solution for how to take a back up and again how to reload to my new oracle database? if it succeeded is it possible to retain all the schemas of my old database?

One way to do this is to take a cole backup
and restore with backup controlfile.
1. alter database backup controlfile to trace
2. find this trace and backup it to another drive
3. shutdown immediate
4. Backup you database files - if you don't know them (issue when db is open select name from v$session) on another drive5. format you r drive
6. restore your files from backup
7. Open trace file and creater a script from it yous copy and paste one of two cases
8. if it is win nt. make an instance oradi,m -NEW -SID db
9. sqlplus /nolog
10. conn / as sysdba
11. startup nomount
12. execute script created in point 7
For more detail instructions please refer to User Managed Backup and Recovery Guide

Oracle Database Backup in ASCII format

Hi All,
I want to know,
1. Is it possible to have oracle database backup in ASCII format
Please let me know
Thanks
Arjun

No, it isn't, as a proper backup is a physical copy of a database.
As Oracle doesn't store data in ASCII, the backup also can't be ASCII.
Why are you asking this? What is the business requirement?

I am configuring remote database backup of my SAP Java stack system.
I have successfully connected the system in dbacockpit. I have gateway installed also on the remote host system. but Database scheduling on DB13 failed.
On the OS of CEN system, I can connect to the host system of the remote using the OPS$ logon and i.e

The purpose of taking the backup is, we are upgrading our oracle to 11.2.0.3 and We don't have any regular backups (RMAN or EXPORT) on these databases. these are QA databases.
Please let me know, how i need to prepare for this DB backup.
Thanks in advance for your help.

>

>
Why not? You can have expdp create multiple files on export so that each file is no larger than the size you specify. This makes it easier to manage large exports.
Using multiple files and a parallel export will handle this for you.
See the DUMPFILE section of the database utilities doc - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_export.htm
It has this example of file splitting using PARALLEL
>
Example
The following is an example of using the DUMPFILE parameter:
expdp hr/hr SCHEMAS=hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=dpump_dir2:exp1.dmp,exp2%U.dmp PARALLEL=3
The dump file, exp1.dmp, will be written to the path associated with the directory object dpump_dir2 because dpump_dir2 was specified as part of the dump file name, and therefore overrides the directory object specified with the DIRECTORY parameter. Because all three parallel processes will be given work to perform during this job, the exp201.dmp and exp202.dmp dump files will be created and they will be written to the path associated with the directory object, dpump_dir1, that was specified with the DIRECTORY parameter.

/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/rman target sys/viviet@vvsms log /home/oracle/log_rman/vvsms.log appendThis line can be your problem.
As this database is a RAC and your are using a service with load balance "vvsms" and "/home/oracle/backup/vvsms" is not a shared location. RMAN is starting a session on Other node where "/home/oracle/backup/vvsms" does not exists.
Try change it :
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/rman target sys/viviet@vvsms log /home/oracle/log_rman/vvsms.log appendTo this (using Easy Connect Method):
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/bin/rman target sys/viviet@localhost:1521/VVSMS log /home/oracle/log_rman/vvsms.log appendWhere:
localhost: your local node
VVSMS : is the service of database
Also check if "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora" have configured the line "NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)"
P.S : When RMAN start a session it show where is logged, check on logs what instance RMAN was logged.

Why database backup information is not in rc_rman_status

Hi,
I used rman to backup dozen of databases. Only 3 database backup info is in rc_rman_status. I can see all databases fromrc_database. From EM console, every database target page shows the daily backup information. What happened?
I need to create a report for daily backups of all databases. I want to pull information directly from rc_rman_status. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Laura

Hello,
It is possible that your recovery catalog is 10g but you have performed a backup using a lower RMAN client such as 9i. I believe RC_RMAN_STATUS is a 10g addition and hence the 9i RMAN client will not populate these tables. Obviously I can't guarantee this is your problem, but if you have a mixed Oracle environment, this is a high possibility.
Hope that helps
Andy

Daily database backup runnig on RAC 10.2.0.3 with two Solaris nodes & ASM

Hello,
I'm confused about making daily incremental RMAN backup of a database runnig on Oracle RAC 10.2.0.3 on two Solaris nodes and ASM.
Databases cannot be stopped for backup and point in time recovery is needed.
Please correct me if I am doing wrong:
1) Backup must be Weekly database Level 0 and Daily database Level 1 is appropriate.
2) Is best to use a Flash Recovery Area (FRA) - I've setup one on a separate ASM volume. I have enough space to do the backup on FRA.
3) I am confused about the number channels I need to use. Do I need to use separate RMAN backup channels for each node or I can just leave the default:
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
4) Below are the RMAN scripts I plan to use for
- Weekly database backup Level 0:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo BACKUP FULL: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup incremental level 0 database TAG bkp_level0_200906010;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
- Daily database backup Level 1:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo BACKUP INCREMENTAL: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
run {
backup incremental level 1 database TAG bkp_level1_20090611;
SQL 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
exit;
eof
I'm I doing things wrong?

Standby Database on Oracle 10g Standard Edition ?

Hi All,
Is it possible to do Oracle Stand By Database on Oracle 10g SE ?
I read somewhere in this group that we can do standby database even in SE by writing a script that copy the archive log to the secondary server.
Is this approach reliable enough to be done in production ?
Does anybody have sample of the script ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Hi,
Well, I think I'd beter put the scripts right there. Remember, they have been tested under MY environment, using MY releases, MY O.Ses. It's up to you to check whether the're valid for you. They are provided as is, for sample.
There are 4 files:
. generic.sh : you can duplicate this file in order to set up as many standby as needed, etc. It calls other scripts in order to:
. archivemove.sh : Get the archived redo logs to the standby host
. recover.sh : Synch the standby
. getrecid.sql : get the maximum progess point on the Manual Standby (used by archivemove.sh)
These scripts are used from the standby host. Remember to throughly check it before relying on it for production.
generic.sh

# Be sure environment variable are set. If not, then it might fail!
# These environment variables are those for the Manual Physical Standby host

We have some SAP systems using the MS SQL Server database. I want to know if it is possible to setup the Full Database Backup option in transaction DB13 to store the files in a hard disk space.
I already did this type of configuration in SAP systems in Oracle databases and for this I used the init<SID>.sap where we can put all the configuration, for instance the disk path where we want to save the backup files! But for MS SQL Server databases, in DB13, I don´t know how to do that, when I add the "Full Database Backup" option in DB13, this show me some options but only for tape, but I don´t want to store the backup files in tapes, I want to store/save the files on the server disk itself or else to an external disk but I don´t see where I can set this way of storage!
This is what you see in DB13 (when using a MS SQL Server database) in "Full Database Backup" and as you see I only have options for TAPE not for a disk or other type of storage! How can I do that? (if that is possible):
Can you help me please?
Kind regards,
samid raif

Hello Raja
Sorry for the delay of my answer! Many thanks for that tip, it helps a lot and it solve the last error/problem that I reported here, in fact, the problem was we had named the device with two words containing a space. So we removed that space from the backup device (in SQL management studio) with one word only and the job runs successfully without any errors!
It works in Development and Quality systems but in our Production system (AM1) the Full backup option in DB13 stopped with the following error, in fact the error is on verification of backup, it means that the Full backup finished with success, but when it does the backup verification, the job in DB13 stops with an error, the following one:
