Database backup

Hi,
I am relatively new to Oracle Database... So, I am trying to backup my database from the Enterprise Manager... When I want to Schedule or Set up my backup I have to input "operating system login credentials to access the target database"...
As I understood, this is an OS account which I use to connect to my local computer. But everytime I input my account and my password it sais:
"Error - Connection to host as user cristina failed: ERROR: Wrong password for user" ... I am sure I'm using the wright password... but am I using the wright account?
I tried to set the account up in "Database Preferred Credentials" in "Host username" and "Host Password" fields but when I test them it gives me the same error message...
I really need a backup... so if you could help me... or have other ideas for getting a safe backup...
thank you!
Best regards,
Cristina

I have just seen the same problem posted a few threads down...
And the solution...
1. Control Panel, Administrative Tools.
2. Click on Local Security Policy.
3. Local Policies, User Rights Assignment.
4. Double click, 'Log on as a batch job'. give username value as DOMAIN_NAME\<user_name>
Thanks to Mohammed Nazim ! :)

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

But when I ran the brtools to perform the backup I got this error.

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;

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.

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.

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?

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

Full database backup and restore

I have a doubt on the syntax for a full database backup and restore. For a single schema, the syntax for backup & restore is :-
exp JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501/JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 owner=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 STATISTICS=none
log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_exp.log grants=y constraints=Y rows=y compress=N
file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501
imp <userid/password> file=<export dump file location> fromuser=<export user name> touser=<import user name>
grants=y constraints=Y rows=y log=<import log file location>
I hope, my question is clear.
Please, help in solving the doubt.

hi,
thanks, for your answer. I took a export of one schema of the database. But, when I tried to import the schema to the destination database, it showed
imported with errors with the existence of functions showing. The commands used by me for export and import are as follows:-
exp JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501/JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 owner=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501 STATISTICS=none log=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501_exp.log grants=y constraints=Y rows=y compress=N file=JISPREPCORBILLINGPRD501

Do, we need to drop the existing schema before importing or somethinig else. Please, help.

Full Database Backup

Hi people,
I´ve the next doubt about the backups of MS SQL Server.
If I make a full database backup, the transaction log (SIDLOG1) are backed? Or I´ve to do the backup of transactional log separated?
In the note Note 44449 - Backup strategies with the SQL server, says this:
"If you run a complete database backup, the contents of the transaction log are saved (database dump), but the log is not shortened. The transaction log is only shortened when you save the log (transaction dump)."

A FULL SQL backup includes all of the changes that are contained in the LOG file, so that the backup is recoverable to any point in time from the beginning to the end of the time it takes to backup the database. However, it does NOT truncate the log file because you may still need a log backup in order to be recoverable to a point in time AFTER the FULL backup mentioned earlier, or if you have to utilize a different FULL backup in the event the other backup is corrupted, lost, etc.
For example:
Full backup A taken 11/8/2010, begin 8:00 AM, completed 9:00 AM.
Transaction Log backup 1 taken 11/8/2010, 11:00 AM
Transaction Log backup 2 taken 11/8/2010, 3:00 PM
Transaction Log backup 3 taken 11/8/2010, 7:00 PM
Full backup B taken 11/9/2010, begin 8:00 AM, completed 9:00 AM.
Transaction Log backup 4 taken 11/9/2010, 11:00 AM
Transaction Log backup 5 taken 11/9/2010, 3:00 PM
Transaction Log backup 6 taken 11/9/2010, 7:00 PM
If you need to recover to point in time 11/9/2010 at 8:30 AM, all you need is Full backup B.
If you need to recover to point in time 11/9/2010 at 5:00 PM, you need Full backup B, and Transaction Logs 4, 5, and 6.
If you need to recover to point in time 11/9/2010 at 5:00 PM, and Full backup B is corrupted, you need Full backup A, and Transaction Logs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
If Full backup B had truncated the log, then you would not be recoverable to any point in time after 7:00 PM on 11/8/2010.

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,
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:

Restoring an ms access database backup file in sql server 2005

Hello everyone.
I have an ms access database backup file.
Presently i dont have ms access database in my system.
It is high priority to access that ms access database backup file.
So, is there anyway to access that in sql server?
-- Thanks and Regards Srikar Reddy Gondesi, Trainee SQL Server Database Administrator Miracle Software systems, Inc.

Hello sir,
i tried to use import/export wizard to import data from an ms access backup file.
I completed it with some warning's.
Wizard has shown that 2 out of three objects(tables and views) are copied to destination database(empty database which i have created for storing this imported data).
And in that process, wizard made me to create a package.
Now how to access that package?
And my newly created database has no data.(i mean it is supposed to have 2 objects which are copied from source right?)
Sorry if my doubt looks silly i have never used ssis or import/export ever before.
