Doubt in Recover database until cancel

Hi experts,
One query, I want to try out recover database until cancel. But my archivelog files are in tape drive. How do i do it as it ask for archiver destination directory for the archivelog file.
Or can any please explain how should i do it.
Thanks in advance
shaan

Hi Satist,
when i apply the other archivelog file, it again shows the error
SQL> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;

ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/NEWDB/oradata/NEWDB/system.dbf'
Please tell me why this happening or any solution for this. Moreover i have archivelog file
from 1_1 to 1_14 .
Thanks in advance

Recover database until cancel using backup controlfile Fails with ORA-01547

Hi
First of all, I'm sorry for posting in this community as my issue doesn't have any thing to do with Rman, but I couldn't find any more relative Community to post in
our System is Oracle EBS 11i and the OS on the production is AIX 5.2 / and the DR is 5.3 / DB version is 9i
we have our Oracle ERP scheduled using crontab to take a database COLD backup daily using gtar -cvzf .
yesterday I needed to clone the database only, so I used my usual method witch is
1) on the source SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as '<dest>/makecntrlfil.sql'
then you can delete the Commented header and change the first command from
"CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE <SOURCE> NORESETLOGS ..."
TO
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE <TARGET> RESETLOGS <NO>ARCHIVELOG
2) de-compress the tgz files
3) on the target edit the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<source>.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/environment file
4)run /ORACLE_HOME/appsutils/clone/bin/adcfgclone.prl
5) delete old controlfiles
6) on the database run the script you created on firs t step to create a new control fole
7)recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
8) alter database open resetlogs
add new temp file system
this way I used to do it
but yesterday when trying to execute recover database it didn't work, and gave this error
ORA-00279: change 6450277404 generated at 02/28/2013 02:47:56 needed for thread

ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/ERPDEV/DBASE/SYS/devdata/system01.dbf'
nothing strange in the original alert log file in the time of taking the backup
So can You please tell me what maybe wrong and why it used to work before and now it's not
take in consideration that we are on archive log mode, but not using Rman or the archived Logs for backup and the sequence it needed ( 188462 ) is too old and already deleted on Production.

"recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

Hello,
Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
First we restored, an online backup.
We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
Then we performed the recovery :
According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
The probleme is it prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

When restaring the database we could see that, a recovery of online redo log has been performed automatically, is it the normal behaviour of a recovery using "recover database until cancel" command ?

Hi,
Let me answer your query.
=======================
Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
      then do not go for until cancel recovery.
2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
     process is    on.
3. During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying V$RECOVERY_LOG you    can find out about the redologs required.
4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
Hope this information helps.
Regards,
Madhukar

Doubt in - recover database command

Hello,
I wanted to know the significance of - using backup controlfile
in the sql command:
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel
Some background info-
I am performing a system copy using Db backup-restore methodology.
I generated a new control file using -
1. alter database backup controlfile to trace;
2. Editing the file, changing SID and renaming it to control.sql
3. @control.sql
So how is - recover database using backup controlfile until cancel
different from - recover database until cancel
in this scenario?
Thanks.

This is the best explanation i had found earlier which is well written
If you were to recover the database with a current control file, Oralce will know the last SCN of the last checkpoint. So Oracle can use the information in the archived and online redo logs to apply recovery up to that SCN. This is called a "complete" recovery.
If you do not have the current control file, your option is to use a backup controlfile. Which means Oracle does not know the SCN to stop applying recovery. So you tell Oracle that you are using a "backup controlfile" and that you will tell it when to stop applying redo by replying "cancel." When Oracle starts recovery, it looks at the datafiles to know the last time a checkpoint was performed on the datafile. Oracle now knows to start applying recovery to the datafile for all SCNs after the SCN in the datafile header. Oracle rolls forward transactions. But Oracle does not know when to stop, and eventually, Oracle applies recovery in all of your archived redo logs. You can then tell Oracle to use the redo in the online redo logs. Oracle will ask you where to find more redo. At this point, you tell it to quit applying redo by replying CANCEL.
Hope this helps in explaining the difference

Recover database until time - doesn't recover as expected

Hi,
We've got an Oracle 9i db (9208) running on AIX.
We've had a problem and that has meant restoring all the dbf's and control files from the over night backup onto the server replacing the currently corrupted system.
Once this was done we then opened the DB in order to check some things.
Once this was done we then closed and mounted it and issued the "recover database until time .... " command.
The archive logs we need are in the default archive location. They cover the time period just prior to the restored files up until the time we need the DB recovered to.
However, when running the recover the alert log just shows
"ALTER DATABASE RECOVER database until time '2010-08-11:16:30:00'
Mon Aug 16 14:33:57 2010
Media Recovery Start
Media Recovery Not Required"
Can anyone tell us why the recover command isn't recovering the archive log files up until the time we are specifying. It doesn't look like its even looking at them.
The command executes in less than a second.
Is this because we opened the DB between restoring and recovering so its already written a newer archive log file, so the DB thinks its already up to date???

Got it - thanks
Basically cause we were also restoring the control file so when adding the "using backup controlfile" it then started to work.
SQL> recover database until time '2010-08-11:16:30:00' using backup controlfile
ORA-00279: change 276395529 generated at 08/10/2010 21:59:38 needed for thread

ORA-00289: suggestion : /archive_logs/tprod/arch0000070260.arc
ORA-00280: change 276395529 for thread 1 is in sequence #70260
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
This was the first message we got once we put the "using backup controlfile" part into the command.
We selected AUTO and its now slowly working through all the archive log files going up the numbers therefore i assume applying the archive logs correctly.
Once this is done i believe we just "alter database open resetlogs"

Is it possible to perform multiple RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME ?

Hi,
Can I perform multiple roll forwards of transactions on a hot backup of a database?
I want to make a copy of my live oracle database to use on a temporary test server.
I intend to copy the hot backup and transaction logs onto the test server and then roll forward to a certain point in time.
My question is: Can I do multiple roll forwards with the instruction
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME
when I don't start the database after the first time I rolled forward?
Regards,
Pasquale

If you are on 10g and are collecting flashback logs you can flashback a database backwards, open the database read only to look around, and then flashback backwards/forwards until you open the database resetlogs to finalize the flashback.

Recover database until logseq|scn|sequence

Hello!
My question is - what each parameter after UNTIL mean?
I can find SEQUENCE and SCN from query - select * from v$loghist.
And I know that sequence it is sequence number of redo log switch,
SCN it is system change number.
But I don't know anything about LOGSEQ.
Explain detailed please about these.
Scientia potentia est

You did not read the doc, did you ?
If you did, you could have seen LOGSEQUENCE has been deprecated since a while (9.0.1), and SEQUENCE has to be used instead.
Please, have a look to the following link :

I want to know what means and what will do this command
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE
and what means the option
Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}You can perform recovery by providing logs how you wish.
suggested - you can give enter, so that which thread & Sequence it wants it will apply one archive.
filename - if you want to mention filename(in case actual file name is different) ,ofcourse you can give one by one up to what archives you want to apply
Auto - If you want to perform recovery with all the available archvies, you can prefer option too
Cancel - if you apply any of the archives, when you want to cancel, If you perform this recovery will be cancelled.
Also read documentation from Oracle http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B12037_01/server.101/b10734/rcmrecov.htm

Recover until cancel

Oracle XE windows xp
hi
lets say I dont have any backup which is taken by RMAN
SQL>recover database until cancel
Media recovery complete.
SQL>recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
ORA-00280: change 2019545 for thread 1 is in sequence #1
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
What is the diffrence between two recover options?
In the first recover statement why ıt doesnt let me to cancel redolog.

but I dont have an old control file,even no backupswhat do you mean by dont have old controlfile even no backups??
recover database using backup controlfile will not take care of the SCN within controlfile ,normally when you issue recover database oracle aplly logs from redo till the CKPT SCN at controlfile but in case of using recover database using backup controlfile oracle neednt to know the SCN to stop applying recovery it starts aplly all archive logs as possible.You use recover database using backup controlfile when you have controlfile is older then yours datafile or you dont have valid controlfile i.e corrupted controlfile.

Recover Database in RMAN vs SQL*PLUS

Hello,
Oracle 11.2.0.1, Oracle Linux 5.5 UEK.
I recently did a "recover database" in sql*plus, but an attempt to open the database gave ORA-01113, complaining the system tablespace requried more recovery. Then I used RMAN (nocatalog) and after the same "recover database" command I was able to open the database.
It seems there are differences between SQL*PLUS and RMAN "recover database" command. I have not been able to locate the chapter in the Oracle documentation that explains the difference. I have some ideas, but...
Thanks.
h3. Solution Summary:
The recover command in RMAN compared to SQL*Plus implements a more user friendly processing logic based on the current detected scenario. For instance, a RMAN recover database command may actually perform a "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" and automatically apply all archived and online redo logs if available. The same can be achieved with the recover command in SQL*plus, but will have to be done manually.

Dude wrote:
I did not remove any datafiles or redo logs. it is the same restore operation as before, and again RMAN "recovery database" succeeds, whereas SQL recover has trouble. This tells me something is different between the two methods. For one, RMAN does not requrie to specify "using backup controlfile".
Maybe someting about "resetlogs" that that RMAN recover can handle and SQL recover not?No,problem is there.If you using rman execute RECOVER DATABASE it also will apply online logs(if available) also and as result you will get complete recovery however you must open database with resetlogs option due to you recovered database using backup controlfile.So also you can recover and open database applying this online logs.After executing RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE you have to pass full path of online log then press ENTER so log will apply and you can open database with RESETLOGS.See below

And these is not any difference.
Hope that help you and you got answer.

Error in Recover Database - ORA-01547 , ORA-01194 and ORA-01110

Hello folks,
I am facing a problem when recovering a database..
I made each tablespace in backup mode, then copied the datafile. I revert back the tablespace status to normal status.Once all datafiles are copied to target location, i created the control file from the source db.
I started the target db by
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
then i executed the control file
SQL>@ctrlfile.sql
Control file got created.
SQL>recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it asked for archives. I gave the path one by one until everything was done.Now i gave 'cancel' as below.
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
cancel
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01194: file 377 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 377: '<path>/xxfndx01.dbf'
ORA-01112: media recovery not started
Could anyone please tell me where I went wrong and how can I move ahead from this stage???
Later on, when I gave open resetlogs, it gave the same error(as below)
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01194: file 377 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 377: '<path>/xxfndx01.dbf'
Please let me know the mistake I made, how to avoid that and how to proceed now ???
Thanks,

Hello Cherrish,
A very good question you have asked. I hope you realize that you're doing an incomplete recovery. There is some amount of information that is still there in the online redo-log, that would not be applied on your target db. Moreover when you're using backup controlfile, you do not know till which point you need to apply archive logs.
For incomplete recovery, Oracle for some reason has been very strict about the recover database command. i.e.
recover database using backup controlfile
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel
Is not same. It also applies to the command that you had given. By giving the command 'recover database using backup controlfile until cancel', you're telling Oracle that incomplete recovery is in process, and you would do resetelogs, to make sure all files are in sync. This is required when you have lost the redo-logs
In case you have just lost the control file. All latest redo-logs, archive-logs and datafiles are okay (or have been restored), then recover database using backup controlfile; would work perfectly okay. and resetlogs would not be required.. and that would be a complete recovery
I hope this all makes sense to you

I got this error when I tried to restore from my backup with create new control file.Are you sure your backup is consistent cold backup.
Cause: An incomplete recovery session was started, but an insufficient number of logs were applied to make the file consistent. The reported file was not closed cleanly when it was last opened by the database. It must be recovered to a time when it was not being updated. The most likely cause of this error is forgetting to restore the file from a backup before doing incomplete recovery.
Action: Either apply more logs until the file is consistent or restore the file from an older backup and repeat recovery.

How to recover database when all redo logs are losted

pls help me in recovering the database when all the redo logs are losted

In both cases he has to open the database in RESETLOGS option. So try:
recover database until cancel;
Then cancel the recovery, and
alter database open resetlogs;
If you want to check where your database is at then mount your database and issue:
select group#, sequence#,first_change# from v$log;
This will tell you the sequence and SCN of all the online log files then compare it with what it prompted when you issued recovery command.

Can I use RECOVER database command evenif there is no MEDIA FAILURE? [b]Urg

I need an urgent help from all the big guns out there?
My database is up and running, but still I want to recover the deletion of data that has been done on FRIDAY/SATURDAY/SUNDAY/MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY in other words I want the FRIDAY's state of the database.
Can I do it using the
"RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '2005-28-06-00:00:00' command?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
i assume you running your database in archive log mode and using rman to accomplish you task.i would say that you can recover your database even if there is no media faliur occurs,no doubt you can use this.i think you want to recover your database to the fridays state prior to the table deletion,so you get the tables back in your database.so what's a problem execut following.
run {
SET UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('apr 03 2005 01:17:13','MON DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
restore database ;
recover database ;
asuume in this example that you want to recover your database up to date aprail 3 and prior to 01pm time.
change the code according to your requirement.
thanks.

Recover Database is taking more time for first archived redo log file

Hai,
Environment Used :
Hardware : IBM p570 machine with P6 processor Lpar of .5 CPU and 2.5 GB Ram
OS : AIX 5.3 ML 07
Cluster: HACMP 5.4.1.2
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.4 RAC
SAN : DS8100 from IBM
I have used flash copy option to copy the database from production to test machine. Then tried to recover the database to an consistent state using the command "recover automatic database until cancel". System is taking long time and after viewing the alert log it was found that, for the first time, if it is reading all the datafiles and it is taking 3 seconds for each datafile. Since i have more than 500 datafiles, it is nearly taking 25 mins for applying the first archived redo log file. All other log files are applied immeidately without any delay. Any suggession to improve the speed will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sridhar

After chaning the LPAR settings with 2 CPU and 5GB RAM, the problem solved.
