Database hangs in shutdown immediate for cold backup

Dear experts ,
we have scheduled cold backup for our database.
is there any solution to resolve below mentioned errors other than RMAN hot backup or shutdown abort ?
Sat Jan 26 00:20:55 2013
Active call for process 3939 user 'oracle' program '[email protected]'
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.
Sat Jan 26 01:15:59 2013
SHUTDOWN: Active sessions prevent database close operation
Instance shutdown aborted

Hi,
should we daily kill these processes with LOCAL=NO
what is proposed solution in such cases ?
is it not harmful for OS or database to kill these processes daily ?Yon can create shell script to find kill session only when you find active calls in your database alert log. You need not have to kill it on daily basis.
Refer MOS tech notes for more details:
*Alert Log: Shutdown Waiting for Active Calls to Complete [ID 1039389.6]*

Umesh,
Since it is case of Ora 600, for which only last solution is oracle support, but i would like to mention that your are getting ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4193].... So, this 4193 is cause to read following links too:

Script for cold backup using RMAN

Dear all,
db_version:-10.2.0.4
os_version:- Windows 2003 server
I wish to schedule a script that will take cold backup of my database using RMAN.
Any help is appreciated ..
Edited by: user12000301 on May 18, 2011 5:02 AM

Dear All,
Thanks a lot for your valuable time :
However i have managed to do it as follows :
1. First i have configure the parameter of RMAN ( Since it is my UAT in Noarchive log mode), I have never tried RMAN cold backup on the same.
Following is the out put of SHOW ALL;
RMAN> show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS%F';
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2 BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS\DB_%U.%r';
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128';
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\BACKUPS\SNCFDB.ORA';
2. I have created a rman_cold_bkp.bat file which has following entry :
cd c:\oracle10g\bin
set oracle_sid=DB
rman target system/*** @D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\SCRIPT\rman_cold_bkp.rcv log=D:\DB\RMAN_BKP\SCRIPT\rman_cold_bkp.log
exit
3. Whereas rman_cold_bkp.rcv file contains following contents:
run
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database;
alter database open;
release channel C1;
exit
I did checked it and it;s working fine for me :-)

Girish

I build this script to make a cold backup of the database. (I will put it in the cron tab).
My question is the SRVCTL will work in this scripts??

I need to put a quick policy backup ... and cold
backup it's what I use and it works.And reduces the availability of your cluster.
The problem about RMAN is that we never use it. I
have to learn about it to make scripts to test....
and this will tack me 2 or 3 days...I'd assume that installing RAC didn't go overnight, so why underfund the crucial part of any database system, the backup?
There's even a step by step guide for backup on the Getting Started: DBAs page.
Samples (and changes) on the latest version of RMAN can be found for example in RMAN Enhancements.
Or take a look at this Oracle Magazine article:Faster Backup, Faster Recovery
Backup and Recovery Basics in the user documentation may also be a good starting point.

Steps for Cold Backup..

Hi,
I am new for DBA, i need to take cold backup, can some help me what are all step (commands) i need to follow to perform the successful cold backup.
Advance Thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
A cold backup is very simple.Hope your Database is test or Development or practise one,If it is production Database You have inform users for suitable downtime depending on size of your Database. You have to peform these basic steps,Which I'm doing it for you:
Step 1:Find the location of all the physical file(Datafiles,controlfiles,redologs):
For Datafile:
SQL> select file_name||' '||tablespace_name||' '||bytes from dba_data_files;
FILE_NAME||''||TABLESPACE_NAME||''||BYTES
D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\USER123.DBF USER123 104857600

D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\UNDOTBS01.DBF UNDOTBS1 26214400
D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\SYSTEM01.DBF SYSTEM 513802240
For logfile:
SQL> select group#||' '||member from v$logfile;
GROUP#||''||MEMBER
3 D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\REDO03.LOG
2 D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\REDO02.LOG
1 D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\REDO01.LOG
SQL> sho parameter %control%
NAME TYPE VALUE
control_file_record_keep_time integer 7
control_files string D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\CONTROL01.C
TL, D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\CONTROL
02.CTL, D:\ORADATA\BOSCHDB\CON
TROL03.CTL
Step 2: Shutdown the database (IMMEDIATE or NORMAL option):
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Step 3: Use OS commands or utilities to copy the database datafiles and control files to your backup destination:
Note 1:Make sure this Backup destination is having enough space
Note 2:If you are doing in any unix flavour use command cp
D:\oradata\BoschDB>copy /b *.DBF D:\TESTDB_BACKUP

3 file(s) copied.
D:\oradata\BoschDB>copy /b *.CTL D:\TESTDB_BACKUP
CONTROL01.CTL
CONTROL02.CTL
CONTROL03.CTL
3 file(s) copied.
Step 3. Startup the database.
SQL> startup

Need clarification for cold backup and recovery

Hello Everyone ..
I have much confusion on cold backup and recovery topic.
Already i posted a scanario regarding this and i want to know some clarity points to understand.
1. I had cold backup two days before
2. I am creating an object *(EMP)* and inserting some records then issue log switch continiously.
3. Manually i removed all physical files (datafiles , control files , log files , redolog files ...)
4. then i issued STARTUP FORCE MOUNT;
5. here i am getting error identifying control file.
6. cold backup two days before all files restored
6. then i issue recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
7. i am trying to issue select * from emp; i am getting error
select * from emp
*ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not existMy QUESTION IS
After cold backup finished , i created emp table ..
when restoring old back " There is no emp table"
*- then , can i recover emp table ? - If so , please explain about this ..*
Note : REF - LINK https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=11056341#11056341
- Above link says what i did ? . In this thread i am asking concept & logic ..
please do NOT consider as "*DUPLICATE*"

When you recover the database using backup controlfile until cancel, you have to apply archived logs. Did you apply all of them?
If the create command was in the online redo, not yet archived, and you lost the online redo, then you won't have it. This is why you want to have redo multiplexed, it is a critical piece.
In some recovery scenarios, if you haven't lost the online redo, you need to specify those files as if they were archives.
It is normally easier to just be sure you have the latest controlfiles and let Oracle figure it out automatically (which is why you want to use online RMAN backups rather than cold backups). But yes, it is important to understand what is going on for different scenarios. I used to have manual standbys, and one of the disaster instruction sets explained to try to get online redo over to the standby to lose as few transactions as possible. That could still be useful for some snapshot hardware type scenarios, assuming the business is too cheap to do proper failovers.

BISE1 database hangs on shutdown...

When trying to shutdown the BISE1 database via SQL Plus, it just hangs there and does nothing. Any ideas?
Where can I check?
Thank you!

Do the following:
shutdown immediate
startup dba

the startup dba is to keep other logons out. There are some process tring to logon...

What are source directory for cold backup of apps 11.5.10 and 11.5.10.2

Hello All,
Application Version: 11.5.10
OS : Sun Solaris 5.9
Can you provide me information what should I include in my backup script?
e.g we have done some customized reports so we need to include that also into backup
So in case for hard disk failure we do not loose customization!!!.
e.g RDBMS Oracle Home , APPL_TOP
I am not sure how application spared
I want to map all required directory into one folder then I just include that one folder into my backup script.

Chirag, all the files should be located under the directories listed above by John. Even for custom objects (forms, reports, packages, ..etc).
I want to map all required directory into one folder then I just include that one
folder into my backup scriptWhy would you need to include it all in one folder? Once you get the directory structure of your Application you can simply include all the root directories in your backup script.

If shutdown immediate hangs database waits one hour for shutdown abort

we have schedules cold backup for our 11g database on redhat 5.3.
there is a shell script written with shutdown immediate command.
If database hangs during shutdown immediate database waits one hour for auto shutdown abort.
but this happens once or twice in a month
can we do this auto shutdown abort earlier than one hour ??

user13376823 wrote:

Since you're shutting down the database for cold backup so ensure it should be shutdown properly by shutdown or shutdown immediate cmd not by abort cmd.
Consistent backup:-
A backup taken when the database is mounted (but not open) after a normal shutdown. The checkpoint SCNs in the datafile headers match the header information in the control file. None of the datafiles has changes beyond its checkpoint. Consistent backups can be restored without recovery.

What to do when database hang

Hi all,
May I know what to do when database hangs after shutdown immediate command perform? Can I use kill process command to stop Oracle process?

Hello,
see documentation for details of immediate-clause:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref589
You can do an shutdown abort instead, but then sql is terminated. You can read details here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref595

Should we backup Archivelogs for ad-hoc Cold backups ?

B version: 11.2
OS version : Solaris 5.10
Below is the script we use for ad-hoc cold backups. Is there a need to take the backup of archivelogs when we do the cold backup ?
Sometimes archivelog backup piece's size is bigger than the backup piece containing the full backup of the DB itself ! So, too much disk space is wasted.
The script we use
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup full database format='/mypath/ORCL_full_%U_%T.bkp' tag='ORCL_full';
backup archivelog all tag='arch_bkp' format='/mypath/ORCL_BKP/arch_%U_%T.bkp' delete input;
release channel t1;
}

Hello;
A cold backup is a consistent state. So you don't have to back them up. No new archived logs generated during the backup either so you are still OK.
For other types of RMAN backup you ALWAYS want this. This guarantees that datafile backups taken during the command are recoverable to a consistent state.

Database cloning using cold backup

Hello Guys,
I am doing cloning of a database from cold backup for testing, actully one datafile has been croupted, so my issue is that, can i exclude tht datafile from controlfile when creating the controlfile and is that poosible that controlfile will created sucessfully and database will open sucessfully.
Please reply.
Thanks

@asif, @ckpt
With humble, how all you know that corrupted datafile is not belonging to system and undo tablespace? If this case, then do you think we can restore that corrupted cold-backup ? Sorry, but this is not the way to just start providing help without asking OP :
1.Current Oracle Version ?
2.Where he want to restore i.e. restoring platform info Oracle version OS ?
3.After cold backup how he came to know that one datafile is corrupted ?
4.When and how datafile became corrupted ?
5.How he taken cold backup ? Was db running fine just before shut immediate for cold backing ?
6.What he has done so far to restore the cold backup ?
7.What error he is getting right now ?
Here problem is corrupted datafile. So, first let come problem clear from OP, ask all missing question in one go, and then start helping is the right way... (my personal opinion, may be wrong!).

Shutdown immediate hanging

I need to develop a scripts that shuts down all databases on a server. One of my databases sometimes hangs after issuing "shutdown immediate" command, and I want to handle this situation in my script. What I am thinking is to add "shutdown abort" in the script if "shutdown immediate" does not work. However, I do not know how to determine the database is hanging during shutdown immediate. Can you advise me on how to handle the shutdown immediate hanging problem in my shell script? Or is there better way to handle this in the script?
Thank you very much for your help!

As noted, if your shutdown immediate really hang because of rollback, then my method won't work either. The only different will be Oracle is going to do the rollback at next startup when doing instance recovery. In that case, the startup will appear to be hang.
Check this metalink doc,
What To Do and Not To Do When 'shutdown immediate' Hangs
Doc ID: Note:375935.1
There are cases where shutdown immediate hang because of bug.
