DB copy- re-using online redo files of target database

Hello again,
One question regarding DB copy from PRD to TST database (both are existing and running DBs). Can it cause problems when you don't remove online redolog files on TST database (e.g. log_g11m1.dbf...) during the copy ? Can those files be reused when stating 'alter database open resetlogs'? or could be any redolog files (even from totally other database) be reused - with same size, of course.
If you don't delete it , can it cause an error ORA-00305: log 4 of thread 1 inconsistent; belongs to another database ?
I am bit wondering, because I don't see any reuse in control trace file:
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 (
'/oracle/XXX/origlogA/log_g11m1.dbf',
'/oracle/XXX/mirrlogA/log_g11m2.dbf'
) SIZE 250M,
GROUP 2 (
'/oracle/XXX/origlogB/log_g12m1.dbf',
'/oracle/XXX/mirrlogB/log_g12m2.dbf'
) SIZE 250M,
GROUP 3 (
'/oracle/XXX/origlogA/log_g13m1.dbf',
'/oracle/XXX/mirrlogA/log_g13m2.dbf'
) SIZE 250M,
GROUP 4 (
'/oracle/XXX/origlogB/log_g14m1.dbf',
'/oracle/XXX/mirrlogB/log_g14m2.dbf'
) SIZE 250M
Thx a lot for explanations in advance!

Hello,
I dont want to share them. I just meant, I have TST database running and I want to replace it's content from PRD database. So I delete all datafiles and do restore. BUT I do not delete online redolog files, I keep the files . Can these files be reused once I restore datafiles from PRD to TST?

  • How to use a .csv file as a database ?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a .csv file and I need to update some values in a column based on some condition. Basically I want to use the .csv file as a database such that I can perform query on it and update the result set as required.
    I am having trouble using csvjdbc though, can anyone give me a simple example about how to build a new database and import the csv file into it? Many thanks!!
    By the way, I tried a small program which was found online:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class test {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    Class.forName("org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver");
    System.out.println("I'm ok!");
    But I got an exception as following:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver

    Could anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks.

    It's because Class.forName will throw ClassNotFoundException if it cannot locate the class file. You need to set classpath so that org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver class can be located by ur code.

  • Can we use online redo log to recover lost datafile in NOARCHIVE mode?

    I am working on OCA exam and confued about these 2 sample questions. (similar questions with totally different answer)
    Please give me hint about the different between these 2 questions.
    ** If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and one of the datafile for tablespace USERS is lost, what kind of recovery is possible? (answer: B)
    A. All transactions except those in the USERS tablespace are recoverable up to the loss of the datafile.
    B. Recovery is possible only up to the point in time of the last full database backup.
    C. The USERS tablespace is recoverable from the online redo log file as long as none of the redo log files have been reused since the last backup.
    D. Tablespace point in time recovery is available as long as a full backup of the USERS tablespace exists.
    ** The database of your company is running in the NOARCHIVELOG mode. You perform a complete backup of the database every night. On Monday morning, you lose the USER1.dbf file belonging to the USERS tablespace. Your database has four redo log groups, and there have been two log switches since Sunday night's backup.
    Which is true (answer: B)
    A. The database cannot be recovered.
    B. The database can be recovered up to the last commit.
    C. The database can be recovered only up to the last completed backup.
    D. The database can be recovered by performing an incomplete recovery.
    E. The database can be recovered by restoring only the USER!.dbf datafile from the most recent backup.

    I think Gaurav is correct, you can recover to the last commit even in NOARCHIVELOG, as long as all the changes in the redo logs have not been overwritten. So answer should be B for question 2.
    Here is my test:
    SQL> select log_mode from v$database;
    LOG_MODE
    NOARCHIVELOG
    SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name from dba_data_files;

  • Adding online redo logs with standby database in place

    Hi group,
    I have decided to add one new member to my existing redo log groups and an additional redo log group to my primary database.
    That change went ok without problems. I assumed that with standby_file_management=auto the equivalent online redo logs are created on the standby database. But this is not the case.
    The documentation is unclear about this point and I did not find anything suitable on metalink. The docs suggest to cancel managed recovery on the standy, setting standby_file_management to MANUAL and then adding online logs, quote:
    "To add an online redo log, use a SQL statement such as this:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'prmy3.log' SIZE 100K;"
    This however - IMO - adds a new STANDBY redo log to the standby database, what I need is an ONLINE redo log.
    Does anybody have some experience to share here?
    Facts:
    Solaris 8
    Oracle 9.2.0.6
    Thanks!
    Martin

    OK, for those who come across the same problem.
    You need to create a new standby controlfile, copy it as well as any new online redo log from production to the standby environment.
    Once the files are in place, start the standby as normal and open it read only to see if everything is ok:
    startup nomount
    alter database mount standby database;
    alter database open read only
    Only when there are no errors in your alert.log you are safe.

  • Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

    Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
    You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
    zzxc: Hello
    zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
    seegal: hello
    seegal: it doesn't copy
    zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
    seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
    Biolizard has joined the conversation.
    zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
    seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
    seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
    zzxc: Which version of OS X?
    seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
    zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
    zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
    seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
    seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
    zzxc: Which version of Excel?
    zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
    seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
    seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
    seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
    zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
    seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
    zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
    seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
    zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
    zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
    seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
    zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
    seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
    zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
    seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

    Hello, I plan on setting this new build up with SATA RAID 0. I tried to follow the ReadMe file in the RAID drivers download but think I am not fully understanding. The ReadMe says to copy all files to the media...it said floppy but I am going to use a flash drive. I did so but there were two folders, X64 and  X86. Do I open those two folders and copy all the contents or do I just copy the two folders directly to the drive?
    Thank you

    Quote from: lewislink on 05-July-07, 02:13:43
    Open the sub-folders and copy their contents, or copy the sub-folders, themselves?
    What about BIOS update? Will it be necessary to use a floppy or can a flash drive function?
    "What about BIOS update? Will it be necessary to use a floppy or can a flash drive function?"
    don't update the BIOS when everythink is working...
    "Open the sub-folders and copy their contents, or copy the sub-folders, themselves?"
    copy them as is.. directly with sub-folders included.

  • Accidently Deleted Online Redo Log Files

    Dear friends
    Just to give a try, I deleted online redo log files from the disk after clearn shutdown (In Test Environment Not A Production Database), then i started the dabase, I know we need atleast two online redo files for database to work properly. now my point of question is how can i create new online redo files ?
    I have 2 redo logfile groups each with one member. In group 2 i have added new member for the deleted one using add logfile member ....... to group 2. but when i try todo the same to add logfile member to group1 I am not abale to do so. because its saying that this is the current logfile member. then I tried manual log switching to use next logfile member but database is not allowing as the database is just mounted not opened. plsease if any body helps me out to sort out this problem it will be a great help.

  • Online Redo logs instead of Standby Redo logs

    RDBMS Version: 11.2.0.3/Platform : RHEL 6.3
    To migrate a 3TB Database to a new DB server , we are going to use RMAN DUPLICATE.
    Step1. Take full backup of DB + Standby Control file at primary site and transfer the Bkp files to Standby site
    Step2. At standy site, we will run the RMAN duplicate target database for standby
    After the above step, we don't want to create the standby redo logs because the newly restored DB in standby server is going to be the new Prod DB which application will be pointing to.
    So, Can I skip the Standby Redo log creation part and create Online redo logs instead  ?
    As mentioned earlier, Our objective is not to create a proper Dataguard Standby DB setup. We just want to clone our DB to another server using RMAN Duplicate.

    Hi,
    Take full backup of DB + Standby Control
    We just want to clone our DB to another server using RMAN Duplicate
    If you want only clone database of production, why you  are take Standby controlfile?
    If you don't want create standby  database then, why you using DUPLICATE  command with FOR STANDBY option.
    You can  use DUPLICATE command for clone database, without for standby option.
    If you  say no, we want create standby database and we will perform swithover,
    then yes, you can use online redo  logs for max performance mode.
    and you can create standby redo logs on all database, but this redo logs will use by database when database role
    is standby.

    Sure you can use online redo log file during recovery and provide the name when the recovery process askes you the next (last) archived redo log file. Why don't you test it? Create a database in archivelog mode, take backup, switch some log files, then insert some data to the database to fill the current redo log file, take the current time and perform incomplete recovery to the taken time. At last, you will be asked to provide the archived redo log file, provide the current redo log file and you'll see how Oracle applies the changes from the redo log file

  • RECREATE DATABASE Using CONTROL File After SUSPEND Database

    Hello All,
    Does someone can tell me if he does achieve recreating a database using "Backup Control File" after putting database in "suspend" mode?
    The procedure looks like this :
    1 - Alter DATABASE Suspend
    2 - A Snapshot of the filesystem where the oracle datafile are located
    3 - Copy of those files to another file systeme
    4 - Startup setting a new database name
    Does someone as do it successfully ?
    Thanks for your answer

    Carlos,
    I tried to do it without putting the tablespaces in backup mode and it didn't work for me. At that time adding the backup mode wasn't a big deal for me, so I didn't investigate the problem thoroughly.
    Logically thinking you sould be able to do:
    1. suspend database
    the SCNs recored in datafiles headers could be incosistent at this point
    2. make a snapshot
    3. mount the backup database
    4. run recover until cancel using backup controlfile - I don't think you can avoid this step in case if you have inconsistent SCNs in the datafiles headers - you'll need to synchronize them
    5. open resetlogs.
    the suspend database should eliminate the possibility of inconsistent data within a block during the backup.
    Just out of curiosity - why don't you want to put the tablespace in the backup mode?

  • Abot loss online Redo log group

    Hi,
    Is there different from recovering between loss CURRENT online redo log group and ACTIVE online redo log group?
    Both of them are needed to incomplete recovery, right?

    For CURRENT redolog recovery:
    startup mount
    recover database until cancel;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    For ACTIVE redolog recovery:
    If the database is still running, force a checkpoint by issuing the following command:
    alter system checkpoint;
    If above was successful and if the lost group has been archived then issue:
    alter database clear logfile group <number of the online redo log group>;
    And if the lost group has NOT been archived then issue:
    alter database clear logfile unarchived group <number of the online redo log group>;
    alter database open;
    If the database is not running (crashed) then
    startup mount
    recover database until cancel;
    alter database open resetlogs;

  • Physical Standby Online Redo log  files,

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a physical standby database (10.2.0.3). I'm a little confused about the requirement for online redo logs on the standby.
    in my standby alert log I get the following when I issue:
    SQL> alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session
    "ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1
    ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/appl/oradata/prod/prod_1_redo_01_02.log'
    ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
    SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Additional information: 3"
    /appl/oradata/prod/prod_1_redo_01_02.log is the path to the location of the online redo logs on the production system. This file does not exist on the standby filesystem so the error is correct.
    I assume that it gets this information from the standby control file I created on the production system and copied over to the standby.
    Do I need to copy the online redo logs from the primary over to the standby site or do I need to create online redo logs on the standby?
    Does the standby need to have redo log files?
    I'm not talking about 'standby log files' of the type created using 'alter database add standby log file'. I've not got that far yet.
    I just need to establish if a physical standby requires online redo log files?
    Thanks in advance,
    user234564

    I wanted to update this thread since I've been dealing with the exact same errors. The basic question is: "does a physical standby need the online redo logs?"
    Answer: Not really, until one wants to switchover or failover (and become a primary database). Furthermore, whenever the MRP process is started, Oracle prepares for a possible switchover/failover by "clearing" the online redo logs (MetaLink note# 352879.1). It is not a big deal, since Oracle will build the actual redo files when the "alter database open resetlogs" is accomplished during a "role transition."
    In our situation, we have decided to use our standby for nightly exports. We stop MRP, open the database read-only, then restart MRP. We built these standby DBs with RMAN. The RMAN duplicate process will not build the online redo log files until the database is opened for read/write (with resetlogs). However, we haven't had a need for read/write (i.e. a switchover).
    Thus, every morning we have been getting the same errors that "user234564" posted above. At first the errors seemed scary, then we realized they were just a nusiance. In order to clean things up, all I did was just "cp" our stanby redo logs (SRL) into our online redo directories ensuring the names matched what was in v$logfile. When I restarted MRP, the alert log clearly showed Oracle clearing these "newly found" online redo logs.

  • Backup failed while copying the redo files due to previous errors

    Backup failed while copying the redo files due to previous errors. DATA file backup is successfull. Please suggest what measures we can take to avoid this.. This is a daily online backup.

    see above error.
    Whats your setting for disk copy command in your init<SID>.sap
    I think you are using cp command
    >disk_copy_cmd                  copy

Maybe you are looking for
