Dbid lost ...

Hi,
I am testing some recovery(using RMAN) Scenarios, if i lost my dbid then how i can find it. I am using nocatalog.
Regards,

actually i have all backup files of rman nothing more... so now i am at recovery, i cant start database, as i have to set its dbid first... then i can face nomount, mount, resetlogs and open mode. so i wouldn't be able to query v$ views.

ASM lost disk, rebuilt disk grp. No dbid, how to copy ctl file to ASM?

Hi all,
I'm trying to help out on what is turning out to be a real challenge.
This looks to be Oracle 10.1.0.4.0 (version showed by rman and sqlplus).
There is ASM...but it was set to redundancy of EXTERN, but not really external redundancy. This is a test box, and I guess they were just trying to use what disks they had....I dunno, it was set up long before I got here.
Out of all the instances I've had to look at....for this one server, I have no DBID's documented.
This is a HP-UX box....they replaced the bad ASM drive, and I rebuilt the DATADG disk group.
RMAN settings...well, show all just gives defaults, as that I don't have a control file in place. This was, however, set up to autobackup control files and spfiles...but I don't know the DBID, and can't figure how to find the DBID....
I did, however, find the snapshot controlfile...and hoping I could use that.
I am, however, stumped as to how to copy this copy of the control file, into ASM.
I have found and old pfile that I can use to start the instance. I have started it nomount with this.
I looked at the parameter for control file and found:
SQL> show parameter control_file
NAME TYPE VALUE
control_file_record_keep_time integer 7
control_files string +DATADG/instance/control01.ctl
, +DATADG/instance/control02.c
tl, +DATADG/instance/control03
.ctl, +DATADG/instance/control
04.ctl
So, I know where they are to go. This is such an old version, I guess there was no ASMCMD...I can't find that command.
I'm thinking, if I could find a way to copy this snapshot of the control file onto ASM in the old places it was, I could startup up the database, and it would then be able to restore and recover with the RMAN backups?
Any suggestions?
cayenne

Just a quick update on this.
I was able to find a snapshot of the controlfile on disk....
I went into asm and recreated the directory where the controlfiles were kept, and used rman to copy the snapshot controlfile to where the originals were kept:
export ORACLE_SID=+ASM
connect with sqlplus and do:
SQL> alter diskgroup DATADG add directory '+DATADG/instance';
Diskgroup altered.
Then in RMAN:
restore controlfile to '+DATADG/instance/control01.ctl' from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1/dbs/snapcf_INSTANCE.f';
restore controlfile to '+DATADG/instance/control02.ctl' from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1/dbs/snapcf_INSTANCE.f';
restore controlfile to '+DATADG/instance/control03.ctl' from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1/dbs/snapcf_INSTANCE.f';
restore controlfile to '+DATADG/instance/control04.ctl' from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1/dbs/snapcf_INSTANCE.f';
I then got out of RMAN...back into sqlplus and mounted the database instance:
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> alter database mount;
Database altered.

Restore 11g controlfile - ORA-03135: connection lost contact

Hi
I am restoring 11g RAC db to single instance on a different server.

Why would I be losing connection? The restore worked with a 10G restore I did with the same catalog on the same server.
Regards

Are the Oracle versions for both the source database home and the target database home the same (INCLUDING patchlevel)? Obviously you are trying to restore to an already patched ORACLE_HOME. ORA-03135 is only the consequence, but problem reasons are RMAN-10041 and RMAN-10024.

Dbid in nomount state

Hello,
can I obtain my dbid when my database is in nomount state?
The scenario is that I had lost all my controlfiles and can only open the db in nomount state.
Then I start rman and connect to the target db. I can restore controlfile from autobackup, but first I have to set dbid.
Is checking the controlfile autobackup filename the only choice to obrain dbid?
Thx.
A.

Hi,
thanks a lot to you both. Controlfile autobackup name is the one I thought of and logs from older RMAN session also seems to be very useful.
I don't use recovery catalog, so I can't use rc_database. That's why I was troubled.
Thanks again. It helped.
A.

Finding dbid

how can I find the dbid of the database, incase the control file is lost and the status is nomount.

how can I find the dbid of the database, incase the control file is lost and the >status is nomount. Since the control file has been lost you will not be able to mount.
There are two places you can find it without opening your database if the DBID has not been recorded.
1.The DBID is used in forming the filename for the control file autobackup.
2. Any saved text files that have output from an RMAN session. Example

PERFORMING FULL RECOVERY WHEN THE RECOVERY CATALOG AND CONTROLFILE ARE LOST

제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2002-05-30
PERFORMING FULL RECOVERY WHEN THE RECOVERY CATALOG AND CONTROLFILE ARE LOST
===========================================================================
PURPOSE
Recovery Catalog와 Controlfile이 손상되었을 때 Oracle9i의 new feature인
Controlfile Autobackup을 이용하여 full recovery를 수행하는 방법을 알아본다
EXPLANATION
Catalog와 Controlfile이 모두 손상되었을 경우 full recovery를 수행할 수 있도록
하기 위해 oracle9i부터 Controlfile Autobackup이라는 New feature를 제공한다.
이 Feature가 활성화되면 RMAN은 자동으로 특정 형식(specific format)으로
controlfile을 backup한다 나중에 RMAN은 Recovery catalog를 access하지 않고도
이 backup을 인식할 수 있다. 이 형식은 "%F"라는 variable을 포함하는데
이 variable은 중요한 정보인 DATABASE ID를 포함하고 있다.
이것은 다음과 같은 CONFIGURE 명령을 사용하여 Turn-on 될 수 있다.
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
활성화시킨 후에 controlfile autobackup의 format을 변경할 수 있다. 그러나
이것은 반드시 variable "%F"를 포함해야만 한다. 그렇지 않으면 다음과 같은 Error
를 만나게 된다.
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup format for
2> device type disk to 'c:\backups\%U';
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00579: the following error occurred at 01/31/2002 11:57:21
RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: configure
RMAN-06492: controlfile autobackup format "c:\backups\%U" must specify a "%F"
format specifier
%F 는 RMAN이 recovery catalog 없이 backup piece를 인식하도록 Key이다.
이 Feature가 활성화 된 후에 RMAN은 BACKUP 명령을 수행할 때마다 controlfile에
대해서 별도의 backup을 수행한다. 이전에는, controlfile 은 오직 system
tablespace가 backup되는 경우에만 자동으로 backup되었다.
Database Backup은 아래와 같은 log를 출력한다.
RMAN> backup database;

piece handle=C:\BACKUPS\C-4159396170-20020131-00 comment=NONE
Finished Control File Autobackup at 31-JAN-02
Note:
Controlfile backup은 backup의 끝에서 수행된다.
그리고 이 backup piece name의 두번째 string은 dbid이다(4159396170)
Current controlfile이 database와 함께 손실되고 Recovery catalog도 손상되어
사용할 수 없게 되었을 때 controlfile autobackup이 controlfile을 restore하기
위해 사용될 수 있다. restore된 controlfile은 db를 mount하고 datafile들을
restore하기 위해 사용될 수 있다.
Controlfile autobackup을 이용하여 full recovery를 수행하기 위해서는 아래와
같은 과정을 수행하면 된다.
1. Target instance를 위한 new init.ora를 생성한다. backup이 있다면 이것을
사용할 수 있다.
2. Startup nomount your new instance.
3. RMAN은 시작하나 어떤 connect statement도 수행하지 않는다.
4. RMAN prompt상에서 DBID를 설정한다. 만약 DBID를 모르면 controlfile autobackup
의 이름으로부터 이것을 알 수 있다.
RMAN> set dbid=4159396170;
5. Dbid를 설정한 후에 nomount로 startup한 target instance에 connect한다.
RMAN> connect target /
6. 만약에 backup이 disk상에 있고 controlfile autobackup을 non-default location
으로 지정하였다면 파일을 다음과 같은 위치로 옮겨 놓는다
ON UNIX : ORACLE_HOME/dbs
ON WINDOWS: ORACLE_HOME/database
RMAN은 controlfile autobackup을 찾기 위해 위 directory를 검색한다.
만약 controlfile autobackup location을 바꾸지 않으면 위 directory안에
backup이 생성되게 된다.
만약에 backup이 tape에 있다면 restore시 channel과 device를 기술하기 위해서
run block을 사용해야 한다. database가 mount되어 있지 않기 때문에
default device와 channel을 설정할 수 없다.
RMAN> run { allocate channel c_1 type 'sbt_tape'
parms "ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=rm-wgt)";
restore controlfile from autobackup;}
7. Restore the controlfile:
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;
8. Mount the database from the restored controlfile:
RMAN> alter database mount;
9. Restore datafiles:
RMAN> restore database;
10. file들을 restore한 후에 recovery를 수행할 수 있다.
이때 current online redo log가 없고 또한 backup controlfile을 사용하기
때문에 incomplete recovery를 수행해야 한다. 이를 수행하기 위해서는
"UNTIL TIME"을 설정해야 하고 open시에는 resetlogs를 사용해야 한다.
RMAN> set until time=<time stamp>;
RMAN> recover database;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
REFERENCE DOCUMENT
NOTE:174623.1

BACKUP Command Behavior
ON
If the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN does not automatically include the current control file in the datafile backup set. Instead, RMAN writes the control file and server parameter file to a separate autobackup piece.
Note: The autobackup occurs regardless of whether the BACKUP or COPY command explicitly includes the current control file, for example, BACKUP DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE.
OFF
If the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN automatically includes the current control file and server parameter file in the datafile backup set. RMAN does not create a separate autobackup piece containing the control file and server parameter file.
BUT Dear Mohammed,
It is not working accordingly. what I did is :-
1. I switched off the AUTOBACKUP
2. Then I took whole database backup, that means it included File # 1
3. But according to above it is going to include autobackup of controlfile and spfile in the same backupset .
4. But when I asked it to restore controlfile from autobackup it said NO AUTOBACKUP FOUND.
COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME ONCE AGAIN DEAR.
If it works accroding to above then it should have my Autobackup.

Harpreet Singh

DBID for RMAN backup with format '%u'

Hi all:
(I've post this at c.d.o.s. too, but no answers...)
This is Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Enterprise Linux 5.
I've been given two backups from an Oracle Database: one 'cold' and
one 'hot'. They both come from a lost server.
The fact is that they have been made with the format '%u' (eight
alphanumerics) and I must recover the database on a new server. I
cannot get the DBID from the backup files name because of this format
'%u'.
The backups have been made with CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON (or so I'm told).
How can I get the DBID to recover the DB on a new server?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
Carlos.

2 RMAN Backups Concepts
Control File and Server Parameter File Autobackups
How RMAN Performs Control File Autobackups
"The RMAN behavior when the BACKUP command includes datafile 1 depends on the CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting. If control file autobackups are ON and the backup includes datafile 1, RMAN writes the control file and SPFILE to a separate autobackup backup set. If control file autobackups are OFF and the backup includes datafile 1, then RMAN includes the current control file and SPFILE in the same backup set as the datafiles."

The codition type of free goods lost.

We are facing a problem about the codition type of free goods.
Our business flow is:
1:customer order 100 DR material A from CRM.he entered the requited number in item 1.
2:we transferred the order into r/3 system.and we define the free goods in r/3.the
policy is that we give customer 1 dr free of charge when they buy 10 dr.
3:when this order has been transferred into r/3,the system automatically add a line
with 1 DR free of charge.
4:in normal,in item 2,it will contain a condition type 'PR01' and 'NA00'.the 'PR01'
is the price and the 'NA00' is the 100% discount.
Nut Now the condition type 'PR01' and 'NA00' in item 2 lost.

ANYONE KNOW THE REASON?

Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server

Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server, can't get adobe cloud to work so I can re-install photoshop to fix a corrupted DLL file.

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

Mobile Me CONTACTS not coming down to iOS4 and lost visual voicemail

I updated my 3GS to iOS4 and everything seems to be working, howver my contacts haen't repopulated the phone form Mobile Me. they are all still there on Mobile Me, but when I go to contacts on the iPhone, there are none and unlike previously, opening contacts on the phone does not force a sync (no spinning clock-wheel)...
I have tried turning off the Mobile Me setting on the iphone and then restarting it, but still no contacts...
I also lost my visual voicemail.... when I go to voicemail, it wants me to physically dial up voicemail...
Any ideas here?

Huh? A "bug" would affect all devices using the OS. I have no idea what you are talking about as push worked just fine here after allowing a little time for my phone to be re-provisioned by the network. That took longer than normal due, I'm sure, to the large number of folks trying to do the same thing I was. And we've all hear AT&T whine that we evil iPhone users are breaking their network.

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost".

I have had my IPAD2 for quite a while but haven't activated my cellular data for about a year. I am now trying to activate and when I go to cellular data, turn it on and try to tap view account i just get a message that says "connection to server lost". I could swear the last time I used cellular data you would see the signal in the upper left corner and I only see "no service" there, I am in a location where I know I should have service. Is there something I should do to my IPAD? I tried resetting, I tried clearing cookies and history in Safari (after reading a post n these discussions). I don't know what to do next. My IOS version is 6.1.3. I did go into Network from the general tab and I see it says "SIM not provisioned". HELP and Thank you in advance.

Hello Theresa818,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cellular data will not activate for some reason on the iPad.
I found this article that will help you resolve this issue here, named iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular Models): Troubleshooting a cellular data connection, found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4249
Check for a carrier settings update.
Update your iPad.
Toggle the Cellular Data setting off and on under Settings > Cellular Data.
Restart your iPad.
Tap Settings > General > About. Locate the Carrier entry and make sure that your carrier is correct.
If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Cellular Data > SIM PIN.
Make sure you're in an area of good coverage. If the cellular data connection works in another area, contact your carrier to report the original affected area.
Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restore the iPad as new.
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, contact your carrier, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

Webmail timeouts and lost mail

I have seen several topics here with people complaining that Webmail times out when they are composing outgoing mail, and lose it when they hit send. However, none of these existing posts seem to have valid fixes or responses, and they all seem to be locked down to prevent new comments, so here is my two cents:
1. I have absolutely experienced the same thing. I've finally gotten into the habit of composing e-mail in an external editor, because I am sick and tired of wasting time recomposing lost e-mail.
2. The Verizon FAQ states two, contradictory policies, both of which are inaccurate:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/121965.htm:
Does Webmail time me out?
Webmail does not timeout due to inactivity.
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup%20And%20Use/QuestionsOne/123344.htm
Does Webmail time out?
Due to security reasons, Webmail Basic does timeout after 20 minutes of inactivity. However, messages that were being composed before your session timed out will be saved in the DRAFTS folder.
The first one is outright wrong. Webmail absolutely, positively DOES time out.
The second one is wrong, at least in some circumstances. I have no doubt that this is their desired policy, but like many other customers, I'm here to tell you that under at least some circumstances, Webmai-l times out in as little as 5 minutes, and in these same circumstances, IT DOES NOT SAVE YOUR COMPOSED E-MAIL TO THE DRAFTS FOLDER. It simplay takes you to the log in screen, and when you log back in, your text is irretrievably gone. Verizon Webmail has not auto-saved anything for me in at least a year.
3. I have a theory as to what is going on here, and I am testing it today. Maybe one or two other folks can try this, too. I will report back whatever I find:
I access Webmail through an old bookmark which is defined as http://netmail.verizon.net/webmail/driver?nimlet=deggetfolder
However, I notice that if I login fresh from www.verizon.net and navigate to Webmail, I GET DIFFERENT SESSION COOKIES THAN I DO FROM THE ABOVE BOOKMARK. For example, I get a cookie called -_WL_AUTHCOOKIE_VZCSESSIONID which is not present when I log in using the old bookmark.. There are a couple of other variations, but this seems the most suspicious.
So, my theory is that those of us who often lose composed e-mail after ridiculously short time outs, are logging in from old bookmarks, and that things changed underneath us at some point during a Verizon Webmail update. I am going to try usng Webmail today from a fresh login, after first clearing out all my existing Verizon cookies, and see if this results in longer sessions without timing out, and saved messages when it does time out.

Oh, and don't even get me started on SEARCH for text within a message. This has never worked, from Day One.
All I ever get is "We were unable to perform your request. Please try again." SEARCH on header text, like Sender and Subject works fine, but apparently Verizon QA has never tested the other options on large mail inboxes.
I'm pretty forgiving and undersrtanding of minor glitches and shortcomings in software, but Verizon Webmail is one of the most unreliable utilities that I've ever encountered from a large company with a huge customer base.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
