Difference between  archive logs and flashback zipped archivelogs?

Can someone explain to me the difference between the archive logs in the E:\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\RDBMS\ and the zipped archive logs in the E:\oracle\flash_recovery_area\sid\ARCHIVELOG\<date>?
They appear to be written at the same time and to be an exact copy of each other. Couldn't you use the flashback archivelog as a backup if the archivelog under the oracle_home was corrupted?
Thanks for taking this question!
Kathie

Obviously you have multiplexed archivelog destinations (check 'show parameter log_archive_dest' in sqlplus). By default one destination is defined as log_archive_dest_10='LOCATION=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST',that's the Flashback Recovery Area. 'Someone' defined a second destination.
It's the purpose of multiple destinations to be protected against failures of one destination.

  • Difference between sysout log and server log???

    Hi All,
    from the long time am trying to find out the difference between sysout log and server log, can anyone please share me the info regarding that?
    Thanks.

    Server Logs
    The server log records information about events such as the startup and shutdown of servers,the deployment of new applications, or the failure of one or more subsystems. The messages include information about the time and date of the event as well as the ID of the user who initiated the event.
    Standard output logs
    In addition to writing messages to a log file, each server instance prints a subset of its messages to standard out. Usually, standard out is the shell (command prompt) in which you are running the server instance.WebLogic Server administrators and developers configure logging output and filter log messages to troubleshoot errors or to receive notification for specific events.

  • Difference between "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"

    What's the difference between the utilities "Archive/restore" and "Export/import"?
    Which utility must I use for putting my maps from a development environment to a production environment?
    For the moment I am using version 9.0.3.
    I will migrate to 9.2 when the version for AIX is available.

    Marc,
    You should use OWB Metadata Export/Import utilities (not to be confused with Database Export/Import utilities).
    The Archive and Restore utilities will be desupported in the next release of OWB.
    The exact differences are documented in "OWB 9.2 User Guide", page 15-12, "Differences Between Archive and Export" and page 15-23, "Differences Between Restore and Import". The same sections are available in "OWB 9.0.3 User Guide", pages 11-45 and 11-46 respectively.

  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FULL AND BULK-LOGGED RECOVERY MODEL

    DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN THE  FULL AND BULK-LOGGED  RECOVERY MODEL 

    In bulk logged recovery mode certain bulk operations are minimally logged. In FULL recovery mode these are fully logged. These bulk operations are as mentioned below
    1. SELECT INTO
    2. BULK IMport operations including BULK INSERT and BCP
    3. INSERT INTO SELECT command using the OPENROWSET(BULK) function
    4. Partial updates to columns having large value data type
    5. Using WRITE clause in UPDATE statements
    6. Index operations e.g CREATE INDEX, ALTER INDEX REBUILD , DROP INDEX
    In Bulk Logged Recovery Mode when you execute these operations SQL Server only logs the fact that these operation occured and information about space allocation. The actual change in the data is maintained in the BCM (Bulk
    Changed Map)
    Since the actual changes are not recorded in the log file, the log file size in the reletively less in size but this tradeoff comes with the price of increased backup time. This is so because during the log backup its not just the log being backup, but also
    the extents that are marked by the Bulk Changed Map as changed.

  • Differences between archiving and inactivating a qualitative lookup within the Data Admin toolkit.

    Hi,
    Can you please let me know what could be the difference between archiving and Inactivating the Qualitative Lookup in Data Admin Tool Kit.
    Thanks,
    Rohini M

    When you inactive or archive something it is no longer available for selection.   The difference between inactive and archive is that inactive items will still appear available for searching purposes while archive items will not.  
    So lets say you have the following:
    List A
       - Item 1
       - Item 2
    List Items
    If you were to inactivate Item 1, end users would no longer see it available for selection when using the qualitative extended attribute.  However when they search for specs based on the extended attribute they would still be able to select Item 1 so they could find objects that used that value. If you were to archive Item 1, end users should no longer see it available for selection anywhere - including searching.
    Lists
    If you were to inactive or archive the entire List A, you would no longer see it available for selection when setting up qualitative lookup extended attributes.   I don't think there is anywhere you can search for extended attributes by lookup list currently out of the box so these would act similar.  If there was a place to search for extended attributes by lookup list then it would follow the same rules as above.

  • What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

    what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
    as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
    when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
    This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
    is my understanding till here correct?
    Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
    can redo-log files not store this information?
    in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
    kindly clarify my doubt.
    thank you.

    This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
    Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
    BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
    Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
    The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
    Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
    Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
    I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

  • Difference between .jar, .war and .ear file

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to J2EE technology.
    I would like to know what is the difference between .jar, .war and .ear files and how they are deployed on webserver.
    Thanks,

    Files with a .jar extension or JAR files, are essentially just a collection of files compressed using the ZIP/ZLIB compression format.
    JAR (short for Java Archive) files were introduced in the early days of Java as a means to conveniently package and distribute Java applications and components. Since then, a number of additions to the Java platform have followed suit. The introduction of the EAR file is one such addition.
    An EAR (Enterprise Archive) file is a JAR file that contains a J2EE application.
    A J2EE application is a group of Web modules that collectively perform as a single entity.
    A Web Module is an entity consisting of one or more resources such as HTML files, Java class files, XML files, etc. Web Modules are packaged in Web Archive (WAR) files.
    Looking at it from a top-down view, EAR files contain JAR files and WAR files. Packaging resources in WAR files, JAR files and eventually EAR files, makes it easy to reuse and reassemble components as new J2EE applications and distribute them to new environments.
    For example, Tomcat deals only with WAR files.
    So, in order to auto-deploy a Web application to a Tomcat environment, you must place an application's WAR file in the appropriate directory or use Tomcat's deployment tools to manually deploy the file.
    If you already have an EAR file that contains the WAR file, you can extract the WAR file and use it as is. If you do not have the EAR file or the WAR file, you can use any number of compliant tools to create the WAR file. Tomcat is a servlet/JSP container available from the jakarta.apache.org site.

  • Difference between System.err and System.out

    Hi Everyone !!!
    I could see that System.err is printing an output on the screen as like the System.out.
    I can't understand what is System.err.
    Can anyone explain me the difference between System.out and System.err

    System.out.println -> Sends the output to a standard output stream. Generally monitor.
    System.err.println -> Sends the output to a standard error stream. Generally monitor.
    To find the difference execute the following program and see the output. You will see how those streams can be handled differently.
    public class test
    public static void main(String args[])
    System.out.println("Standard output Stream message");
    System.err.println("Standard error stream message");
    Compile the class.
    Run the class
    First Execution -
    java test
    Standard output Stream message
    Standard error stream message
    Second Execution -
    java test >op.txt
    Standard error stream message
    In second execution we diverted only the std output stream and std err stream remained unchanged. i.e., by this way, we can handle error stream separately.
    Another typical use of this stream is to produce log or debug messages at runtime and are diverted them to a file where they are archived for later use.<img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/shocked.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />

  • Difference between pack/unpack and T2P (copyConfig/copyBinary)

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to clone WLS 10.3.3 running SOA and OHS. I am facing some issues (encountering NPE on running copyBinary.sh and extractMovePlan.sh file is missing) while doing T2P for OHS. I see pack.sh and unpack.sh can be used to make WLS domain templates and create new domains on different machines/hosts.
    Please let me know what is the difference between the two approaches T2P and pack.sh/unpack.sh. Also please suggest which is the recommended approach.
    Note: I am new to WLS, so please don't mind if my question is trivial or doesn't make sense.
