Has the datafile been deleted from the OS?
Or do you have a datafile with a bad header?
I might try this:
Select status from dba_data_files;
If you cannot find an answer try the backup again.
Or a full export since this will almost always reveal a database issue.
I don't mean to be rude but you will get more and better answers if you read this:

And then clean up some of your old questions.

Restore - filename for datafile is missing in the control file

I am practicing RMAN recovery procedures and I encountered a problem that I do not know how to solve.
1) I took a hot backup of my test database.
2) Create tablespace TS_DATA_TEMP
3) Deleted tablespace TS_DATA which had 2 datafiles
4) Created tablespace TS_DATA with 1 datafile
5) shutdown database
6) logged into RMAN in nomount
7) restore controlfile from autobackup;
8) alter database mount;
9) restore database;

So i'm not sure what the problem is. Datafile TS_DATA.dbf is located in the control file but i'm getting the error: the filename for datafile 5 is missing in the control file.
Suggestions on what's wrong with the control file?

I found my mistake; a newbie error.
I did not know I needed to include in my restore command the 'until' option when doing incomplete recovery. I only included the 'until' option in the recover command:
original command
restore database;
recover database until sequence =123;
should be
restore database until sequence = 123;
recover database until sequence =123;
I usually run the command using a RUN block with a SET UNTIL SEQUENCE but this case I used the single commands separately.
RUN
+{+
SET UNTIL sequence 123;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;

How to fix a missing datafile with status recover

Dear all,
We have Oracle 10 database. And we create a datafile by mistake, and also by mistake we drop the datafile.
Now the condition is, the datafile is missing but still mentioned in control file, and produce an error every time we do a backup since there's a file missing.
If we select from $vdatafile, the datafile status is recover.
We tried to offline the datafile, but its no help.
How to fix this?
Thanks.

Sorry to bump this thread again,
I tried to get the same error in a Oracle sandbox server.
I deleted a datafile, so i got a missing datafile, and then i offlined the datafile.
Then, i created a backup control file and deleted line that refer to the error datafile, and then run it as a sql script to create a new control file.
But when a new control file was created, the control file got a missing datafile and offlined it automatically.
This is the control file backuped to a trace file, please notice datafile DATA00001

To recover a database with old and new datafiles.

Hi;
Please Give a Solution for the following problem.
First I shutdown the databae.
Copy all the redolog,control file and Datafile except one.
One datafile i miss at the time of copy.
Then I start the database and do some transactions.
At that time my system tablespace has been corrupted.
So i copy the old backup and overwrite with the actul file.
So one file backup is not there, that i forgot to take.
At the time of opening the database it shows that datafile version is higher than the controlfile.
Now what i did is came to mount stage and type the following command.
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE <FILENAME> OFFLINE DROP;
After that i open the database.
Now the problem is that missing file contain very important data.
Is it possible to recover the data?
Please give me an immediate solution.

Is the database running in archive log mode? Do you have any export dump files for the data in question?

Tnslistener Service is missing in services.msc in windows 2003 10gr2

Hi All.
I got one error in my server(windows 2003 10gr2)....Protocol adaptor error(ora-12560).
In services <tnslistener> is missing(I don't know how it is missing), because of this am not able to connect to my database through TOAD and OEM, I can connect to my database @ command line.
I tried all the possible ways.
I am tired now, can you please tel me a suggestion to get rid of this problem. Is that necessary to format the server and recreate the database using a backup if there is no option.
Please reply me asap as i need to load some flat files in database using TOAD.
Waiting for you response
Thanks,
Rajini.V

Hi All,
I have resolved this issue,I don't know if this is the best way or not.
I have reinstalled the database and Imported the latest backup in to the database and it was working fine.
later i got one error saying that datafile is missing for sysaux tablespace and needs recovery usings archives.
I lost all my archive files where i cannot recover the missing datafile.
\again my headache started ....................
I again created the brand new database and created the tablespaces which are additional to the default tablespaces that are created when database is created and imported the latest backup file in to new database.
this solved my problem.
Please let me know your advice on this.
Thanks,
Rajini.

File missing in standby database

Hi all,
We have a oracle 9.2 database on sun solaris box.....
Oor Standby DB went down in the month of April and i have taken all the backups of datafile to DAT drive but one of the datafile is missing so we are not able to open the db in read only mode.......
can anubody suggest me how to recover the datafile
as we are also not having any rman backup......

But when we are mounting our DB it is asking to apply the logs from 19 march 09 onwards Are you sure that DB is asking for archives to mount the database?
so if we would take our DB is in the backup mode then that tablespace might have different SCN as compare to the controlfile so will we be able to ioen the DB in readonly mode or not.That is why we are putting the database in recovery mode (to synchronize the database files). Are all archives available?

S.K.

Datafile offline

Dear all
I have just completed a cloning.One of my datafile is offline.
In the control file it is pointing to a different path with a ficticious filename like
/nd01/oradev/devdb/9.2.0/dbs/MISSING00098'
The file I want is under location another location.I tried to generate a trace control file and run it on nomout mode,but still no luck.
Can somebody help me.

I do not have datafile name MISSING.
It generated the name.I tried to generate a script
from alter database backup controlfile to trace.But
still NO LUCK.

Datafile need to be removed from 11g1 db

Hi all,
I'm in a situation to remove the wrongly added datafile from the database as the datafile is no longer present at OS/level.
Database mode: archive log enabled.
can I remove the datafile using the below commands?
Difference between the below commands.
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE <datafile name> OFFLINE DROP
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE <datafile name> OFFLINE
Need your suggestion.
Thanks.

Hi,
Find out,the datafile belongs to which tablespace. Then,
If a tablespace contains multiple datafiles, and you just want to drop one or some of the datafiles and keep
the remaining datafiles together with the objects and contents, the objects or data must be exported for the
affected table space. Once exported, the tablespace can be dropped with the command
DROP TABLESPACE <tablespace name> INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
If one or more datafiles is missing after a recovery process or accidental deletion, you can use
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE <datafile name> OFFLINE DROP
command to make the datafile offline so that database can starts up after which the troubled tablespace can be dropped

Jai

Restore Data from Datafiles

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem with TTS(Transportable Tablespace).
I have a backup of tablespace TBS_DATA as TTS. Now i need to restore that tablespace.
Whenever I tried to restore using IMP command below error occured:
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 19721 encountered
ORA-19721: Cannot find datafile with absolute file number 123 in tablespace TBS_DATA
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PLUGTS", line 1730
ORA-06512: at line 1
The TTS backup was not taken by me and i think that the dump file version and the version of backed up datafiles were not same (as I am sure that no datafile is missing in my par file and I simulated a test in which i took a TTS exp then made some change in the tablespace then tried to restore that tablespace got the same error as above).
Now under this scenario my question is,
"Is there any way to restore data from those datafiles ?(i know all the table names and structures)"

obaidWhen you talk about transportable tablespace and "backup" and importing -- I'm not sure exactly what you are doing and what you have to work with.
Let's start by you showing the actual command you used that produced the output you gave us.
And it certainly wouldn't hurt if you let us in on the secret of what OS and what version of Oracle you are using.

To Recover The Database Using a New Version of Datafile

My one of the datafile is new and it is very important. It contains many data. I have a backup. I copy all the old files exept the new one. How i attatch the new datafile to the old database files. Now it sees the new file does not match with the old datafile and controlfile. It shows the message
THE CONTROLFILE VERSION IS OLDER THAN THE NEW DATAFILE VERSION.

Restore datafile without any Backup

Hi,

We have a problem in our database.
One of our datafile was missing in the location.
Database is in open mode. We dont have any backup of that physical file.
Is there anyway to restore that datafile without backup.
Plz Advice.....

what is this file is it datafile or archive log file ..'/oracle/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/logarchive/7603_1_594490386.dbf'.
Can you check if this file is physically present.
If its archive log file and not present physically do this
When the recovery process suggests the non-existent archive log,you need to provide the path to the current online redo log. The current
log can be determined from the following query:
SELECT MEMBER
FROM V$LOGFILE F,
V$LOG L
WHERE L.STATUS = 'CURRENT'
AND L.GROUP# = F.GROUP#;
Once you know the current log, restart the recovery procedure and provide the
path to the log when prompted:

How to recover system datafile???

Hello,
Do you guys have any idea how to recover SYSTEM datafile if the datafile is missing and it's not being back up ?
suhaimi
[email protected]

Dear Suhaimi,
The only possible way of recovering the SYSTEM tablespace (and its datafiles) is from the Hot or Cold backups taken earlier. For ensure complete recoverability, I advise you to run your database in ARCHIVELOG mode and take regular online backups.
Ciao!

Backup/Restore Testing Regimen

I am coming up with a list of scenarios to test our backups. Here are the scenarios that I can come up with. Can you guys think of more?
1. Whole database restore to current
2. whole database restore to point in time
3. missing datafile
4. missing control file
5. restore dropped table to current
6. restore dropped table to point in time
Also, I plan to test back ups as often as I can but of course this will depend on the workload one has, but how often do you guys think recovery tests should happen? monthly? quarterly?
Thanks!

items 5 and 6 are not restoreable by use of a proper backup. Backups restore data blocks of data files. It has no knowledge of specific objects that may be stored on those blocks. You can restore whole databases, data files, or tablespaces (which really are just an abstraction of a data file). To restore a table, you have to restore the entire database.
But as the other poster said, if you can do a full db restore, then your backup is good.

How long do you want to go before you find out you have a bad backup? What is your recovery windows defined in the rman repository?
