Urgent: New database with restored tape backup - step by step

Hi
Oracle: 9.2.0.6
OS: AIX 5
There is an old full cold database backup on the TAPE drive which includes spfile and control files etc.
I have been asked to restore this database to a new server (AIX 5). I am a new dba with less hands on restore/recovery from tape drives using rman.
Can someone let me know
1. what do I need to know before I can start anything
2. how to restore backup from tape (spfile, control file, data files etc)
3. steps to create a database instance with backup restore and start it
4. How do I know password of sys/system users
Thankyou so much for help.

Maybe you could read the manual?

Full Database Backup in DB13 for MS SQL Server databases

Hello,
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,

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:

SQL Server 2008 & 2012 Database backup on a shared loaction

Hi,
I have to plan for the Database backup on SQL Server 2008 & 2012 on a shared Path.
We are building a new Maintenance plan &  specify the Database which needs to be backup & at the Folder location we specify the Shared Path Location. These steps I have followed using the below link,

Hello,
>>'\\DBBackup\SharePoint_backup\DB_backup_2014_02_13_122719_5314660.bak'. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.).
This clearly points out to fact that your SQL Server service account does not have permission of read/write on shared location,simple.
>>But when I open the shared path in the Windows Explorer it opens successfully.
This is because when you are browsing through explorer your windows login credential is used to access that folder but when you are running backup your SQL Server service account permission is used to write backup on shared folder ( which I assume it does
not have ) so the access denied error.
Hope this helps
PS: I reffered the link its maily how you specify backup path its not about access denied error due to SQL server service acount not having privilege

I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?

So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu).

DBACockpit Configuration - Remote Database backup of Java Stack.

Hi All,
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
sqlplus /@SID as sysdba - (It connected, to confirm i querried the v$instance I was also able to shutdown the remote system)
E:\>sqlplus /@SID as sysdba

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production

But when I ran the brtools to perform the backup I got this error.
"BR0301W SQL error -12560 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:

Hi Niyi,
This is a TNS error. The system is not able to connect TNS by using br*tools.
Firstly, check your environment variables. They should be as same as java system environmnt variables.
Secondly, check the link below;
[BR0301W SQL error -1017;
You need to create a synonym and SAPUSER table for the gateway installation <sid>adm user on Java database. By doing so, br*tools will be able to connect to the java database.

Error restoring SQL 2008 R2 DB into SQL 2012: BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012. Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2. Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008 Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
Thanks

Hi,
This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
· The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
· A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
· A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
· The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
Example:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

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.

Help! How to restore LR 1.1 database backup

I run LR 1.1 under Windows XP. I have LR 1.1 setup to backup the database to an external hard drive. Once a week it prompts me to backup the database, which I do. In the middle of importing some raw files from a CF card, I received a message that my catalog was corrupt. My understanding is that I need to remove the LR Catalog file from the LR directory in My Pictures folder and replace it with the backup catalog. On the external hard drive where I have been backing up LR, I opened a directory called R:\Lightroom Database Backup\2007-08-22 0900, which I assume is where my latest backup is. Inside this directory is a 251,560 KB file called Lightroo. That is correct, Lightroo with no "m". Is this suppose to be the backup LR catalog file? If so, after dragging it into the LR folder, and then CTRL click load LR, when I try to specify this Lightroo file, but LR does not recognize it.
I am lost. How do I use the database backup that I have been regularly creating on my external hard drive to correct the corrupt catalog message I get when loading LR?

The backup file is not called Lightroo unless that is what you named it for some reason. The default backup files have the same name as your working database file whatever that is - XXXXXXX.lrcat. The backup folder you listed looks ok. When you setup the backup procedure on the external hard drive, did you look to make sure that LR was actually putting a copy of your database file where you intended and that it was named properly. Maybe you can simply change the file name from Lightroo to Lightroom.lrcat LR does not care what you name the database file as long as it has the proper extension, lrcat.
It would also be a good idea to check exactly where LR is putting your backup files. I believe there is a Browse button you can click to open a dialog and see where LR is currently putting them.
You don't necessarily have to replace your corrupt file with a backup file to test the backup. You can point LR at any functional database file and it will open it wherever it is. So you can test your backups using the File/Open Catalog command. Once you are sure you have a working file, simply move the backup it to the location where you want it stored and point LR to that location in the future.

Dear Mahmoud,
In the SMTP server settings below you need to replace with your HUB server FQDN if its 2010 or Mailbox server FQDN if its 2013 and after that i think it should work.
<SMTPServer>webmail.domain.com</SMTPServer>

Query used by SQL Server Management Pack for monitoring database backups

I use SCOM 2012 R2 and the SQL Server Management Pack to monitor SQL Server database backups. I believe I am getting false positives. SCOM reports database are not backuped, while in fact they are. So I need to troubleshoot this. I suspect SCOM is querying
the backup history in the msdb database. I want to know which query SCOM uses.
I have tried looking in the monitor's definition but I suspect the query is embedded in the management pack files which are binary. I have also tried running a trace using the SQL Server Profiler on my test environment and overriding the interval to 60 seconds,
but I don't see a relevant query being executed. I also don't see the alert reappear so I suspect SCOM does not honor the interval in a way I would expect.
What query, or other method, does SCOM use to check database backups?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you both Ivan and Michael,
I only saw your messages by email and didn't see your screen shot before I extracted the query myself. In my own queries I calculate the backup age in hours instead of days because of daily full backups. Perhaps It will be a good idea to create my own monitors
from scratch like I used to do with Nagios.
I will study the vbscripts and might create my own version which allows the query to be entered as an parameter and move all code to a .Net class which can be called from vbscript as an COM object. This way I hope to reduce the vbscript code to an minimum
while keeping the flexibility of the SCOM Operations Console and the robustness of .Net. I suspect I want to make more non standard monitors in the future.

Arjen

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

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?

Show also the parameter I have set for RMAN:
