DBXML database requires recovery often

I am running a dbxml database (2.4.13, DB: 4.7.25) with transactions. There are not many calls to the database daily (<200 on average), however it keeps exiting with an exception requesting that recovery be run:
Db Error: PANIC: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery
almost daily, and interfering with the full system operation since it requires the database. I am not sure why this is happening so often. Any suggestions?

There is a strict requirement that write operations are done one at a time. You can get by without it if things are kinda slow but not consistenly. You can manage it with your own coding locks. Also, I experienced lots of issues with recovery when I had my database on a san mount. When I switched it to local machine, things got lots better.

Hi,
This 3rd time I followed this link. But nothing new, same error.
Can you please tell me how to do follow, I cannt do the 1st step, how to change the local system to windows level account, vice-versa. It is shown mine as
Server Configuration Manager(Local)
From here I folllowed the steps ---[I cannt insert link/image :-(]
SQL 2008/R2 setup fails with "Wait on the database engine recovery handle failed"
If I right clicked on SQL Server Service, there is no option to change the account.
Hello,
Thanks for your patience,did you tried stesp mentioned in below article
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqljourney/archive/2012/03/16/sql-2008-r2-setup-fails-with-quot-wait-on-the-database-engine-recovery-handle-failed-quot.aspx
To resolve it, follow these steps:-
When the installation throws this error, click on OK and allow it to proceed. It will fail for Database Engine, but the SQL Server service should have
been created. Check the Services console.
If the service is present, perform the following steps:-
1. Go to SQL Server Configuration manager, right click on the SQL Server service, and change the service account (if it is local system, give
it a windows level account, and vice-versa). It might throw a WMI error but you will see the account getting updated anyway. If not, then use the Services console. Change the account for SQL Agent as well.
Use this link to change sql server service account
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345578.aspx
2. Next, try to start the service. It should come online.
3. However, you will not be able to log in to the SQL Server
4. Now stop the service and start it from the command prompt using -m -c -T3608 parameters.
5. Now try logging in to the server using admin connection from sqlcmd (sqlcmd admin:<server name>\<instance name> ...)
6. Once logged in, use the sp_addsrvrolemember '<domain\username>','sysadmin'.
Also add the builtin/administrators to the sysadmin role
7. Now stop the service from the command prompt and start it from SQL Server configuration manager
You should be able to log in to the server now.
Hope this helps someone.
Please revert if it helps or even if it does not

RMAN-06067: RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created controlfile

Hello;
I read your post and here's the thoughts that came to mind : ( my largest concern is you might restore something that damages your current system )
1. So you want to restore the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 to get some tablespaces from then right?
2. Are you restoring to a different system?
3. How did you start the database ( NOMOUNT, MOUNT )
4. If you are restoring the whole DB back to 12/06/2012 how did you restore the control file?
5. Your command shows :
restore tablespace SYSTEM,UNDO_GEN01,UNDO_GEN02,TAB_80K_GENCON,TAB_25M_GENCON;
COMMENT : Generally I use recover tablespace for point in time recovery and use an auxilary destination.
Meaning I don't use restore at all, in fact using restore may cause an issue.
SUMMARY : I don't see how this will work as is.
It seems you want data from five tablespaces from about six months ago including the SYSTEM tablespace.
This is an Incomplete Recovery. I believe I would rethink this completely.
Give the time that has past I would consider restoring the whole database to a different server where cannot damage anything.
Once this is done I would decide how to get the data I need.
Or I would check for a daily export file and recover the tablespace data that way.
So you have some good details on your question but it seems the plan is either missing something or you need to add a few more details.
Example
I'm recovering old tablespaces into a test system.
Here's how I'm not damaging my current production system.
I don't have an export from that date.
So take a step back and either rethink or give a few more details on how this is safe.
Best Regards

Databases in Recovery Pending state

Dear all,
Need your expertise to understand bit more.
Yesterday i came across databases in "Recovery Pending" state problem.
Followed too many recommendations form Google but to no avail.
e.g. http://dbamohsin.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/cannot-detach-a-suspect-or-recovery-pending-database/
Plucked some leafs from Paul Randal's articles as well http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/post/Search-Engine-QA-4-Using-EMERGENCY-mode-to-access-a-RECOVERY-PENDING-or-SUSPECT-database.aspx
But none of them could fixed my problem.
What i did:
I installed 2008 r2 on a machine (DEV) which already had 2008; yea instance name was different.
Had to restart the server so i did (yea, i gave all developers enough time but due to some reasons databases were in recovery pending mode).
After restart, some databases (not all) were in recovery pending state. Above links provided enough stuff to recover them but didnt work. For instance after setting database in Emergency mode, it stayed there for ages telling something like "Database is
being recovered, wait until recovery is finished".
How i fixed it:
I attached them onto the newly created 2008 r2 instance. Made them offline (on old instance) in case there is any access conflict. Didnt get any error, like files are in use or something, while attaching them (which raised an eyebrow).
Couple of things i noticed after new instance's installation:
While trying to reattach database on same old instance, I wasn't able to see the .mdf and .ldf files form there respective drives. But i was able to see from the new instance.
WHY?
Both sql server services (old and new) were using same service account. When i gave service account enough ntfs permissions on the drive i was able to see all .mdf and .ldf files.
Questions are:
1) Why it wasnt the case before? Important to note here: service accounts were local admins on the server.
(I think i am answering myself here...would love to get more insight on it).
2) Is it normal that i just have 2008r2 tools in Start>>Program. e.g. there is just 2008 r2 management studio not 2008 one etc.
Dont want to let this happen in production environment (i will have backups though), so is there any approach you guys are using to avoid it.
I hope i made myself clear here, or let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you dont need your log file, you can:
Detach your database
Move the log file to other place
Attach back the database and from the file list, remove the ldf
SQL server will create a new log file and the database will be online again.

Mirror Database shows Recovery state in Database mirroring in sql 2012

Hi I am working on DBmirroring and have encountered problem of mirror database showing recovery state.
I tried to resolve issue by removing database mirroring from principal ,removing endpoints from both the nodes and
finally firing alter database db1 set partner off statement also.But when reconfigure dbmirroring on principal it does not allow
start dbmirroring and mirror database db1 comes in to recovery state from restoring stage.
srm_2010

ok in that case why it is not allowing me to configure db mirroring when I am trying from SSMS.It gives an error.tell me????
srm_2010
And what is the error ? If while configuring mirroring it fails for some reason you have to make sure the mirror database which has gone in recovery state needs to be brought in restoring state.

Restore a log backup on to database whose recovery model is SIMPLE ?

Hi All,
Today, it was new thing I found when I was testing some log shipping?
Question is can we restore a LOG BACKUP on a database whose recovery model is SIMPLE?
Brief background:
I setup log shipping in SQL Server 2012 SP1 Enterprise Edition between 2 instances. Log shipping is in Standby/readonly mode. So, everything was working very fine...
Now I changed the recovery model of secondary database on 2nd instance from Full to SIMPLE, still the restores are happening very fine. So, is this a normal behavior? other thing is once after restore job is complete the recovery model is getting changed to
FULL automatically on secondary db and I verify it before and after restore job using below query:
select name,recovery_model_desc from sys.databases
Based on my knowledge when a database is in SIMPLE recovery model, we can't perform any log backups on the database and since no log backups, we cant perform Point in Time recovery?
Please clarify what I am seeing is normal ? Also, would like to know what is happening behind the scenes?
Thanks and appreciate your help.
Sam

Hi,
>>Question is can we restore a LOG BACKUP on a database whose recovery model is SIMPLE?
Yes you can restore Log backup on database which is in simple recovery.
You must understand what recovery model is for. Recovery model affects Logging and recovery of a database it does not puts restriction on what can be restore on it. Of course you cannot take log backup of database in simple recovery but you can restore.
Reason being in simple recovery log is truncated after checkpoint (unless something is holding logs like long running transaction). Recovery model also controls the extent of logging which would be done for transaction and hence recovery which you can do
PS: Dont play with logshipping like this which is configured on prod environment

Registering Clone database in Recovery catalog

Can we able to register the clone database in recovery catalog database without changing dbid?
I don't want to use dbid utility.
Is that any parameter?
Regards,
Latha

Well you can register it without changing any parameters in oracle 10.2
That does not mean you should do it.
I would have answered as follows:
It is not a good idea to register a clone database in the same recovery catalog as the original database as the recovery catalog uses the dbid to identify the database and having two databases with the same dbid essentially corrupts the recovery catalog.
If you change the dbid then it is perfectly okay to store the cloned database in the same recovery catalog.

What is Minimum database requirement for EBS R12

What is Minimum database requirement for EBS R12? for example if it works only with enterprise edition or with standard edition also.
Regards,
Sandeep V

Question is very interesting and very important. The link does not answer if "standard edition" can be used. Obviously, Rapid Install installs EE database. But we can move the database to another dedicated database server.
And the question becomes "Can we move it to a Standard Edition database server"? Huge ramifications on costs. Extremely important. Nowhere I could find positive answer. I wonder if anyone had found an answer?AFAIK, it is not supported.
My own research shows that VIS database (built at home) has partitioned tables in APPLSYS and APPS schemas. Partitioning is not supported in Standard Edition.Correct.
I wonder if we can migrate the database and manually move several partitioned tables into non-partitioned Standard Edition. Will EBS R12 break? Will Oracle Support cancel its support?Oracle will not support this -- Please log a SR to confirm this with Oracle Support.
Thanks,
Hussein

Database in recovery mode

The last log for my database in sql error log is
Recovery of database 'DBNAME' (37) is 18% complete (approximately 111 seconds remain). Phase 3 of 3. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Its been more than 7hrs now & still the recovery is not completed. My database is 7gb in size. When I check sp_who2 " i see the the DBCC session is blocked by -3 spid. The session is not getting killed & i don't get any info on how i can kill session
blocked by spid -3. Any thoughts on this

all sql folders/db files are exempted from antivirus scan. there is no update in sql error log on percentage completed,
the last update was 7hrs ago (18%).
sql version SQL 2008 R2 SP1 enterprise edition. cannot find what is running against spid -3, dbcc inputbuffer (-3) gives invalid spid error. I referred this link http://www.sqlskills.com/BLOGS/PAUL/post/Disaster-recovery-101-dealing-with-negative-SPIDS-(-2-and-3).aspx.
as mentioned in link I don't get deferred transaction that has a transaction status with the 0x80000. I did not find much information on resolving spid -3
blocks even after lot of search. As last measure we have decided to drop the database & restore from the backup.

DBXML database requires recovery often
