Database in log archive mode and redo log file in mode not archive

Hello,
I have a dabatabase running in archive log mode, recently changed, I have 5 redo log groups and one of them (the current one) shows in the v$log view, that ARC: NO, I mean, no archiving. All redo logs except it shows ARC:Yes
What does it mean?
Am I going to have problems with this redo log file?
Thanks

If you do describe on v$log, you'll find that the full column name is Archived (meaning is it archived yet?).
You could try alter system switch logfile and then check v$log again a few times after.
Use the docu for finding out more about v$ views and so on

  • Best RAID configuration for storing Datafiles and Redo log files

    Database version:10gR2
    OS version: Solaris
    Whis is the best RAID level for storing Datafiles and Redo log files?

    Oracle recommends SAME - Stripe And Mirror Everything.
    In the RAC Starter Kit documentation, they specifically recommend not using RAID5 for things like voting disk and so on.
    SAN vendors otoh claims that their RAID5 implementations are as fast as RAID10. They do have these massive memory caches...
    But I would rather err on the safer side. I usually insist on RAID10 - and for those databases that I do not have a vested interest in (other than as a DBA), and owners, developers and management accept RAID5, I put the lead pipe away and do not insist on having it my way. :-)

  • Changing names of datafiles, tempfiles and redo log files

    Can i use

    Please note that when you use this command, you are doing nothing to the actual files on the OS. You are simply changing the db's knowledge of them, as stored in the control file.

    My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Firefox browser keeps going into not responding mode and the firefox experts continue to "not respond" to the problem. Firefox 11.0 and W7.

    Firefox browser keeps going into not responding mode and the firefox experts continue to "not respond" to the problem. Firefox 11.0 and W7. When will you respond??

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

  • I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro and when transferring files iphoto did not transfer.  I have a question mark in the place of the icon.  My pictures are in library but can't properly access iphoto.  Thank you

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

    If you have a cold backup (database shutdown properly) without the redo logs, change this :
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "XE" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOGto
    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "XE" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOGYou have to change the NORESETLOGS to RESETLOGS for Oracle to recreate the online redo logs.

  • Recover database without controlfile and redo logs

    Hi guys,
    I am doing a testing with an Oracle Database 11.1.0.7.0, I want recover a database in this scenario without using RMAN:
    -All controlfiles are missing
    -All redo logs are missing
    -I have a Backup Controlfile To Trace Resetlogs (bkp_controlfile.sql)
    -The database is in archivelog mode
    -The database was created with OMF (Oracle Managed Files)
    So I have done this steps:
    1) When the database was opened I rename all controlfiles and all redo logs
    2) Shutdown Abort
    3) I run the bkp_controlfile.sql, here I have a problem...
    The database put in NOMOUNT, the controlfile was created and started the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE, but when run ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; appear this:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
    ORA-01110: data file 1:
    '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/OMF/datafile/o1_mf_system_68hzcb2z_.dbf'I wasn´t expect this because I don´t want recover a datafile, I only want open with resetlogs.
    Any suggestion to help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    Excelent! Thanks for your answers Markus and Hemant.
    In conclusion...
    - If we have all redo logs availables we can recreate the control file and recover the database without any problems using backup controlfile to trace noresetlogs*.
    - if we haven´t all redo logs availables, there are 2 situations:
    1) If the database shutdown properly:_ We will be able to open the database using recover database using backup controlfile until cancel*.
    2) If the database doesn´t shutdown properly:_ We won´t be able to open the database with only a backup controlfile to trace.
    With all this I close this thread. Was very good experience.
    If anyone would add something will be welcome.
    Thanks for all

  • Size archive log different with online redo log

    Dear Experts,
    I had a problem with archive redo log size. I saw the size between archive redo log and online redo log is different.
    The online redo log on path /oracle/SID/origlogA/log_g17m1.dbf , the size is 280MB, but on archive log the size just 130MB.
    Why the size different? How to change the archive redo log?
    We are running with Oracle 11.2.0.4.
    Please aid me to solve this issue.
    Thanks

  • Can I use old dbf, ctl and redo.log files on re-installation? URGENT

    Hello,
    DB: 10.2.0.1.0
    Because of some reasons I am reinstalling Oracle DB in our test server.
    Prior to install I removed all files under ORACLE_HOME.
    But I am keeping my old datafiles, redo.log & cntrl file.
    Is it ok that to define same Database files location where my old files existed?
    we have dbf, redo.log, ctl files in that location.
    I wonder if I used the same files than I probably do not need to create new data files and also do not need to required import data. This is our test database.

    If all database files are intact then you can reinstall the Oracle software and just start the pre-existing database. All the files would include the spfile or a copy of the init.ora.
    In fact that is one way of doing a version upgrade by overlaying $ORACLE_HOME with the new version. We like to install in a new home since we usually run multiple versions at one time and then start the existing databases using the new release and running the database upgrade scripts one at a time when the release proves stable.

  • Hierarchial Queries and Redo log files

    Hi,
    I'm running a hierarchial query (start with, connect by prior, etc.).
    The query takes a couple of minutes and apparently is filling up the archive files
    (I assume it comes from the redo log files).
    Question:
    1. Does it make sense that a hierarchial query should so fill up the redo log files (It seems as if all the 'intermediate' results are being written there).
    2. What do you suggest I do ??
    Thanks,
    David

    What do you suggest I do ??Post your query and the execution plan or the trace file from tkprof.
    How to do that is explained in this thread;

  • Stealth mode and firewall logging problems to be resolved please.

    I am running OS X v10.6.8 and am having difficulty setting stealth mode. System Preferences shows stealth mode to be switched on, but System Profiler shows it to be off, no matter how many times I set it and shut down/restart. System profiler also shows firewall logging to be switched off, but there is no facility within the Security/Firewall section of System Preferences to switch it on.

    I think the answer to this is if you have "Block all incoming connections" checked, then "Enable stealth mode" in Sys Prefs is checked but greyed out. Mine is set up that way and I'm seeing, like you, that Stealth Mode is off in System Profiler>Network>Firewall. If you have "Block all incoming" checked, then activating Stealth Mode becomes moot.
    I can only get it undimmed if I uncheck Block all incoming.
