Duplicate an old RMAN backup set on Oracle 9.2.0.8 with no catalog

Version: 9.2.0.8. We don't use an RMAN catalog
Scenario: I need to duplicate a database to the same server with a different name so I can recover some old data. The restored backup set is about 20 days old
and my RMAN retention is 1 day.
Current date: 24 March 2011
I try
./rman target sys/syspassword@pasdbt9i auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database to pastemp until time "to_date('04-MAR-2011 18:30:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
Starting Duplicate Db at 24-MAR-11
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_AUX_DISK_1
channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1: sid=17 devtype=DI
.using channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1

RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 2 found to restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
I presume this is happening because the target database has a retention of one day and is unaware of this rman backup that is about 20 days old.
If this is true, is there a way of telling the target database about this old backup set that I now want to duplicate?
From 10g onwards you can catalog a backup piece which might be the fix for this??
I've got round the problem by restoring the database to a different server, but would still like to know if the above is possible.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? thanks.

Hi C3PO,
I presume this is happening because the target database has a retention of one day and is unaware of this rman backup that is about 20 days old?Correct the backupset metadata is nolonger available.
From 10g onwards you can catalog a backup piece which might be the fix for this??In 9i you can catalog image copies.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?Another option would be setup a catalog and change the retention policy to 30 days and add extra diskspace.

Hi,
I have tried installing in a seperate system and restore the rman backup, as I do not have the controlfile I have taken a standby controlfile and started restoring the rman backup as the old rman backup dbid is different with the current dbid and giving me following error:

There is no "SET DEVICE" command. The command "CONFIGURE DEVICE ..." will 'permanently' change the configuration settings (until the next CONFIGURE DEVICE is run).
If you want a specific backup to not go to the default location, then you should run a separate backup script with BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT and specify the location in the FORMAT.
Lookup the documentation on the BACKUP command.

RMAN backup set path

I am restoring the production database to testing server. i have taken the cold backup of my catalog database and refreshed on development server so that i can have information about the production db in RMAN catalog db.
i have copied the backup sets ( level 0 ) of my production db to development server. backup set path is not identical as production. so When i try to recover in dev server i am getting error file not found. ( not able to find the backup piece ) since it is point to production backup set path.
how do i set or update the RMAN database about my testing server backup set path so that during the recovery rman reads from new location on the development.

thank you.
I am facing problem while restoring the database.
i trying to restore from level 0 backup which we take daily basis. when i use the below command and while restoring one of the datafile referring the old backup set which is not available. i have valid backup sets taken yesterday. but rman refers the backup sets taken on day before yesterday.
i am using the following command.
rman << EOS
connect catalog rman/rman@PSMTRRCT
set dbid 4151495469;
connect target /;
startup nomount;
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
set until time "to_date('9/mar/2011 23:00','dd/mon/yyyy hh24:mi')";
restore controlfile;
restore database;
alter database mount;
exit
EOS
LEVEL 0 backup which i have was taken on 9 mar. but rman refers the 8 march backup set for one particular datafile. since i dont have that backup set. restore fails.
can you please help.

RAC RMAN BACKUP Recovery FOR Oracle APPS Application

Hi,
We have an Application which is similar to Oracle APPs application and We have a RAC Database at Backend.
As I am a Oracle RAC DBA and never worked as an Oracle apps DBA.
Each Week or month We have to deploy a patch on Our Database which are kind of sql changes to Database and before we applying we need to backup our Database.
I am very comfortable while applying patches on Single instance Database:-
I Usually shutdown my database and backing up My Database(Conistent\cold Backup) before applying patch.
and I have a Flash back on both option I am having for my Database.
Problem:-
But in Production I have RAC Database, on which I already configured Hot Backup.
FlashBackup Feature is there with me, but Not reliable.
I want cold backup along with my existing hot backup, and want to restore same if something goes wrong.
Since ASM is configured so we have only option RMAN backup.
IF possible kindly Share your knowledge and Experience of your to handle Such Problem.

Sir,
RMAN is already configured for backing up database online.
My only intention is to have cold or consistent backup before applying application patch, So that at the time of crisis I will resotre my Cold/Conistent backup.
Because I am using 11gr2 RAC with ASM, so only option is there for me to use rman as backup tool.
But I never tried to Have Cold backup in RAC environment in my previous jobs, and I am new to this Oracle APPS DBA technology. So Here I am looking for a Strategy that Normally oracle apps dba use while applying patch to Oracle Database and kind of backup strategy they use.
Regards
Gaurav

Deleting old rman backup

Hi
Let say I have a rman backup on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday.
Would it be possible to delete only monday`s backup from rman? Note that it is not obsolete.

hi,
how about this:
delete backup completed before "19-FEB-2010";
or
delete backup completed between "17-FEB-2010" and "19-FEB-2010";
Is it correct/helpful ?

Restore old rman backup after changing dbid?

Hi,
I backed up database using rman. then i changed dbid for that databases. can i restore backup what i backed up before changing DBID?

No.
When you change the DBID for a database, it becomes a different database. All the datafiles are stamped with the new DBID.
And you cannot select a DBID value either, so you cannot choose to change the DBID back to the previous value.
A RESTORE verifies that it is restoring to the same database -- it uses the DBID to verify. Since the DBIDs for the Backup and the now-present database do not match, a RESTORE cannot be attempted.
You can remove the database with the changed DBID and do a complete RESTORE from the backup.

Create a database from 8i RMAN backup

Hi,
I am in need to recover some historic data from a historic database's RMAN backup.
The situation is ... I have one old RMAN backup of a 8i database which includes datafiles, archivellog files and control files. Init.ora file is also available.
I have installed the 8i software in a host and created the oracle service through ORADIM and pwd file through ORAPWD utility. Then copied the init.ora file under 'C:\Oracle\ADMIN\ORCL\PFILE' and the RMAN backup files under 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE' folder.
Now I can start the instance with the init.ora file but can not mount as control files are not there. when I try to restore the control files through RMAN as...
RMAN> run
2> {
3> restore controlfile;
4> }
RMAN-03022: compiling command: restore
RMAN-03022: compiling command: IRESTORE
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources

RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: IRESTORE
RMAN-06172: not connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN>
Now without the catalog database how can I restore the control files and the database from the RMAN backup?
I think the old RMAN metadata was stored in catalog database.
Any suggestion please?
regards

Sorry I wrongly said that I do not have the DBID, I have DBID but I have controlfile backup as RMAN backupset, not in Binary. So even if I set DBID, RMAN asks for the catalog database, which is not available.

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files

Restoring RMAN backup from tape beyond retention policy ??

Hello Friends,
I just stuck in some basic finding. Need your help to resolve the questions.
How we can use RMAN backup to restore oracle database when the RMAN backup pushed to tape already and being a OLD backup ( before retention policy date).
Just to elaborate a more.. Say my retention policy is 3 days. I want to restore from a old backup like 30 days old.
So surely the requesting backup is behind retention date and has been pushed to tape.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sinha.

Assuming the actual backup files still exist (the only thing actually deleted is the record of them in the catalog), you can make those files available and use the rman 'catalog' command to re-catalog them.
