Date-wise backup using expdp

Dear Friends ,
I am using Oracle database 10g . Every week I take full export backup using 'expdp' . Beetween the days of the week, I dont take any backup . Now I need backup of two days ago . In this moment , is it possible to take backup using datapump (expdp) before two days ago ?
i.e., Is there any facility in oracle 10g datapump to take export backup using date-wise ?
My another question ,
Is there any incremental backup procedure available in oracle 10g datapump ?
Waiting for kind reply ... ...

Waiting for kind reply ... ...You must not use or treat Expdp or logical backup as the Backup which can be used for future purpose. Please search forums their are so many links you lan find out and so many people told many time.. even ORACLE suggest that.
Go for Custom backups and RMAn backups.

Full db backup using expdp

Hi All,
My database version is 10.2.0.2 & I want to take full database backup using expdp.
This is the parfile I use.
userid=system/manager
full=y
directory=exp_dmp
parallel=4
The database size is 45 gb & the expdp dumpfile size comes to around 31gb. What can be done to compress the expdp dumpfile?
or is there some other parameters which i need to use?
thanks

I agree expdp is logical backup.
In 10g compression=metadata_only is the only option that can be used, so that does not help to compress the backup.
due to size restrictions, i want the dumpfile to be compressed as and when the backup is running, how to achieve this?

Schema wise backup using rman

Hi all,
Is it possible to take backup of a schema using rman.Or any other backup except export.
Thanks in advance.

In some cases and with some limitations, it is possible to consider the backup of specific tablespaces (used by a single schema) and SYSTEM tablespace as a way to backup a schema. However, you still need to backup the whole database. To restore such as a schema backup would require to use tablespace point in time recovery.
This should be used if a single database is centralizing many different applications using different schemas.

Can we take backup of external table using expdp

Can we take backup of external table using expdp, please suggest any doc.
thanks in advance.

@Fahd
About the ACCESS_METHOD parameter
-It's undocumented data pump parameter and it's should be used only when requested by Oracle Support
-It's purpose is to specify the loading/unloading method, not filtering object types during the export or import
-If this parameter is not specified,the Data Pump will automatically choose the best method to load or unload the data...
so,
the External Tables method
-Is used by the data pump if data cannot be moved in the default method to load/unload data ,
and that is direct path mode, or if there is a situation where parallel SQL can be used to speed up the data move even more

Seeing Stock in transit details by using MB5T by date wise

Hi all
Are we able to see stock in transit (T.Code: MB5T) report by date wise.
Reagards
Srini

Hi,
You will not get stock in transit details as per date in MB5T.
Use Report MB5B and here in selection screen, input the "Selection Date" and "Non-Hierarchical Display" option and execute the report.
And in output, view the column of "Stock in Transit"

Tablespace level backup using data pump

Hi,
Im using 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 4,
I have one doubt, can we take a tablespace level backup using data pump,
bt i dnt wnt to use it for transportable tablespace.
thanks.

Yes, you can only for the tables in that tablespace only.
Use the TABLESPACES option to export list of tablespaces.*here all the tables in that tablespaces will be exported*.
and you must have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role to use tablespace mode.
Have a look at this,

Using expdp to export a mix of tables with data and tables without data

Hi,
I would like to create a .dmp file using expdp, exporting a set of tables with data and another set without data. Is there a way to do this in a single .dmp file? For example, I want all the tables in a schema with data, but for the fact tables in that schema, I only want the fact table objects, not the data. I thought it might be easier to create two separate .dmp files, one for each scenario, but would be nice to have one .dmp file that satisfies my requirement. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Rodolfo
Edited by: user6902559 on May 11, 2010 12:05 PM

You could do this with where clauses. Let's say you have 10 tables to export, 5 with data and 5 without data. I would do it like this
tab1_w_data
tab2_w_data
tab3_w_data
tab4_w_data
tab5_w_data
tab1_wo_data
tab2_wo_data
tab3_wo_data
tab4_wo_data
tab5_wo_data
I would make one generic query
query="where rownum = 0"
and I would make 5 specific queries
query=tab1_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab2_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab3_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab4_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
query=tab5_w_data:"where rownum > 0"
The first query will be applied to all tables that don't have their own specific query and it will export no rows, the next 5 will apply to each of the corresponding table.

I recently upgraded my Macbook pro with a new Hard Drive. I then transferred the data using Time Machine. Now when I want to backup using Time Machine again, it won't do it as it did before to the same external HD. How can I get it to reconnect?

Purchased a new, larger solid state drive to replace my old drive. I installed OSX then I had Time Machine do it's magic.
Now when I want to do a backup using Time Machine, it tells me that the external HD is full. When I did so prior to upgrade, it would erase old backups and then do a new backup.
Please help. I am worried about losing files, and am tired of seeing the "Time Machine hasn't backed up in xxx days" Error Message.
Thanks.

it thinks yours is a new machine so it doesn't want to start deleting another machine's backups

If you use the Fast Recovery Area, by default Oracle will dump archivelogs into date-named directories ("directories" = "folders" for those wedded to their GUI)

EXP/IMP..of table having LOB column to export and import using expdp/impdp

we have one table in that having colum LOB now this table LOB size is approx 550GB.
as per our knowldge LOB space can not be resused.so we have alrady rasied SR on that
we are come to clusion that we need to take backup of this table then truncate this table and then start import
we need help on bekow ponts.
1)we are taking backup with expdp using parellal parameter=4 this backup will complete sussessfully? any other parameter need to keep in expdp while takig backup.
2)once truncate done,does import will complete successfully..?
any SGA PGA or undo tablespace size or undo retention we need to increase.. to completer susecfully import? because its production Critical database?
current SGA 2GB
PGA 398MB
undo retention 1800
undo tbs 6GB
please any one give suggestion to perform activity without error...also suggest parameter need to keep during expdp/impdp
thanks an advance.

Hi,
From my experience be prepared for a long outage to do this - expdp is pretty quick at getting lobs out but very slow at getting them back in again - a lot of the speed optimizations that may datapump so excellent for normal objects are not available for lobs. You really need to test this somewhere first - can you not expdp from live and load into some test area - you don't need the whole database just the table/lob in question. You don;t want to find out after you truncate the table that its going to take 3 days to import back in....
You might want to consider DBMS_REDEFINITION instead?
Here you precreate a temporary table (with same definitiion as the existing one), load the data into it from the existing table and then do a dictionary switch to swap them over - giving you minimal downtime. I think this should work fine with LOBS at 10g but you should do some research and see if it works fine. You'll need a lot of extra tablespace (temporarily) for this approach though.

Harry

Hi Lars,
I understand that its a clumpsy over here, but i already have raised an OSS message and SAP said, that they cannot support this issue with backint. If you can provide me with an email id, i can send you the log files which would be easy to read.
My issue is that am not able run backup for maxdb of content server 640 using the backint tool.
I have created the configuration file and the parameter file as per the specifications from http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/a9/8a1ef21e4b402bb76ff75bb559a98a/content.htm and http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/50/075205962843f69b9ec41f34427be7/content.htm.
THe server is registered to the TSM server. Now when i run the wizard to take the backup using the backint tool, it gives the error "Begin of output of Backint for MaxDB (/tmp/backint4sapdbCFC.out)- -

Storage location wise opening, closing stock...date wise...report

Hi all Experts,
I am at client site and hav to provide a report containing opening, and closing stock (and issue qty if possible) storage location wise and date option wise.pls help
regards
vikas chhabra

Hi,
Use MB51 for date wise report
OR
Use MCL1, MCL5, MCL9, MCLD (If Warehouse Management you are using)
OR
You have to develop an own ABAP report.

Date Wise stock report (0IC_C03)

How can we see the date wise stock quantity and value in Query using cube 0IC_C03.
Example:Suppose i want to see what was my stock quantity and stock value on 25th Jan08.

Hi,
Restrict the Key figure value and quantity with the date.
OR
Go to the key figure in RSA1-> Info objects -> Double click on ur key figure-> Go to the aggregation tab Specify exception aggregation as last value and reference char as 0calday.
This will give u the stock on the last day.
If u want to do it in bex
Create a Calculated Key figure put ur key figure in. And right click select the properties select exception aggregation last value and reference char as 0calday.

Z report for opening qty of material date wise

I have to develop a zreport which will calculate date wise opening stock of material and closing stock of that material at particular
location ( not to use standard reports)
I have to display sale qty and stock transfer qty date wise.
Similarly receipt qty date wise.
For sale qty, stock transfer qty and receipt calculation are date wise ok. But problem is to get date wise opening and closing stock of particular material.
is it possible to get location wise material wise date wise opening stock list in z report.
Thanks

Hi Ravikumar,
Hope you are an ABAPer. If not also, you can achieve this through an ABAPer. As mentioned by others, you need to check whether your requirement is met by the standard transaction MB5B. You need to check whether this transaction gives you the exact opening and closing balance for a material. If this gives what you want, then you need to make some small enhancement in the MB5B report program so that you will be getting the result of the opening and closing stock. In this enhancement you will use EXPORT to export the result to your program where you can IMPORT it. This procedure is explained in detail in a document created in SCN dated 30th November, 2012 by Sijin Siji. Have a look in that.
That document is descriptive and it will be helping you in solving this issue. If you have any doubts, please revert back.
Regards,
Abijith
