Duplicating a Database

RAC11g
Hi
I am duplicating a database with RMAN duplicate.
I set the parameters db_file_name_convert, log_file_name_convert on both instances of target database. The target database is a production database. I know I have to shutdown both instances and after start them for having the parameters on both. Accidentaly I shutdown one of them and up to I shutdown the another the instance1 is not going to be started because the instance tell me that the parameters have to be equal on both. I know that If I shutdown instance2, after both instances are going to be fine but I can not do it because I can not close the database.
Instance1 have the parameters originaly so:
SQL> show parameters convert
NAME TYPE VALUE
db_file_name_convert string
log_file_name_convert string
and the instance1 has these parameters with values that I set.
What I want ?. Clear these parameters on instance1 again for starting it again.
I know I can modify parameters of instance1 from instance2 but the values seems to be bad....
for example:
when I tro to clear the parameters from instance1 I get the following error:
SQL> alter system set db_file_name_convert='','' scope=spfile sid='instance1';
alter system set db_file_name_convert='','' scope=spfile sid='COFASADB1'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00117: syntax error at ',' at the start of input
SQL>
what is the correct value to clear the parameter ?
Thanks

Hi
I removed the parameters with alter system reset <parameter name> scope=spfile sid='*';
Now I have set the parameters only in auxiliary database but it seems... it is looking for to retore on production dbfiles....
Both databases are RAC databases and they are on the same hosts.
I have done several duplicates in RAC enviroment from RAC Database to single instance inside these hosts without any problem.
I am doing the duplicate from node2 connecting to the production database instance2 and auxiliary database in instance2 as well.
Thanks

TIP 04: Duplicating a Database in 10g by Joel Pèrez

Hi OTN Readers!
Everyday I get connection on Internet and one of the first issues that
I do is to open the OTN main page to look for any new article or any
new news about the Oracle Technology. After I open the main page of
OTN Forums and I check what answers I can write to help some people
to work with the Oracle Technology and I decided to begin to write some
threads to help DBAs and Developers to learn the new features of 10g.
I hope you can take advantage of them which will be published here in
this forum. For any comment you can write to me directly to : [email protected] . Apart from your comments you can suggest to me any topic to write an article like this.
Please do not replay this thread, if you have any question related to
this I recommend you to open a new post. Thanks!

Note: two important issues to denote in the sentence above is the word "SET" instead of "REUSE" and the controlfiles must be recreated in RESETLOG mode because the database must be opened in RESETLOG mode.
If you use the word "REUSE" instead of "SET" the opening of the database is going to request recovery of the datafile of the tablespace system.
So, apply this to recreate the controlfiles:
- Start the service in windows for the database COPY2
- Get connection through SQL*Plus as system
- Shut down the database with shutdown abort
- Start the database up in nomount stage
- apply the sentence to recreate the controlfile.

Duplicating a Database with RMAN

Hi,
When Duplicating the database using RMAN,
does it build the auxilary database from the existing rman backups of the target database
or
will it build direcly from the open / mount stage of the target dabase (where there is no concept of rman backups)
Please advice.
Thanks
Naveen.

That depends on the version- Before 11g, RMAN took a previous created backup to duplicate. In 11g, we introduced the new command
RMAN> duplicate target database *from active database* ;that does it "on the fly" without backup needed.
Kind regards

Error while duplicating a Database

Hi,
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
OS:Solaris10.
I am trying to create a replica of one of my Production DB for test envoirment...
The steps I followed are....
sql>connect /as sysdba
sql>alter system enable restricted session;
sql>alter database backup controlfile to trace;
Shutting down the Primary Instance....
sql>shutdown immediate
Moving the Datafiles and Logfiles to the respective Partitions of the New Test Database
Moving the init<oracle_sid>.ora files to new DB partition
Connecting to the sqlplus in the newdb and executing the create database execution script...
Now the Test Database is created and is in mounted Mode
SQL> select open_mode from v$database;
OPEN_MODE
MOUNTED
Now when I am trying to open the Database with Resetlogs option its showing me the Following Error........
sql> alter database open resetlogs;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01190: control file or data file 5 is from before the last RESETLOGS
ORA-01110: data file 5: '/u09/oradata/nnm8i/indx01.dbf'
How to recover from this error...........
Any Help Appreciated.........

I think Peter is right. You are probably erroneously attempting to overwrite the original, source database.

Please can any 1 help me out.As you're using 10g Release, it means that you need to copy backup files to auxiliary destination
If you use 11g, you shouldn't do it. In 11g, you can even duplicate database without taking any backup

Duplicating a database using FRA

Hello,
I'm trying to duplicate a database using a backupset stored in FRA.
However, I thought rman would go take the most recently backupset that I'd backed up but isn't what's happening.
It's trying read backup piece from tape and this is what I don't want to.
How can I do to rman read backupset stored in FRA ?
Here a excerpt from script I'm using:

It's trying read backup piece from tape and this is what I don't want to.That's because you allocate manually a tape channel inside the RUN block:
allocate auxiliary channel c1 type sbt;For Duplicate use the same settings you used for the backup to the FRA.

Duplicating a database for tests

I need to be able to re-create the same database, with the same content of datafiles, to conduct several stress tests. Is it possible to just back-up the entire Oracle Home directory, do the first series of tests, and then restore the entire directory to go back to the initial state?
As this seems unlikely, what would be the best approach to quickly "reset" the database to its initial physical state? For instance, if the datafiles got extended because of the large amount of data loaded in the first test, the next test should start with the initial configuration of everything.

Actually, it doesn't seem to work. First, I had to shutdown the database to be able to move the datafiles directory. I was able then to replace this directory and startup the database. But there is an error that prevents me from logging in again:
Agent Connection to Instance
Status Failed
Details ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
The listener status is UP, only the agent connection to instance is down. As I am not able to connect, I cannot restart the database.
Fortunately, I can fix it be putting back the original datafiles directory.
Is there a step that I am missing, which would enable me to swap directories?

Duplicating a database - metadata only

Hi
I want to create an automated script that will run weekly and will duplicate our production database but WITHOUT data
I know there are several ways to do it - but they are quite combersome
I would like to be able to change the datafile path ( similar to the convert we have in RMAN duplicate )
Is there an elegant way this can be done ?
or am I destined to the import datapump option ?
We are running Oracle 10.2.0.4 Sun Solaris
Thanks

OrnaHi Orna
As it was said above, it's impossible to duplicate only metadata of database using RMAN
You have two choices:
- Using Data Pump, backup only structure of objects of your database
- Write an automatic script which generates bulk of scripts using DBMS_METADATA package
P.S. The first is simplest and suggested

Errors during duplicating database.

Hello,
I'm duplicating my database (using RMAN) and I get the following error:
contents of Memory Script:
shutdown clone;
startup clone nomount;
executing Memory Script
database dismounted
Oracle instance shut down
RMAN-00571(...)
RMAN-04006:error from auxiliary database: ORA-12514: TNS: listener doesn not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
It's 10.2 database on Linux. Auxiliary database is named 'aux'
Tnsnames.ora and listener.ora seems to be ok, since I could connect to this instance (while it was in nomount state, before duplicating in RMAN) using
sqlplus sys/***@aux as sysdba
After I got the error I connected to aux using Bequeath, and checked it's status. It is shutdown since I got the error:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available.
What can I do?
Thx. in advance
Aliq.

On 9i, Oracle registers itself with the database when the database is opened.
This means in any other state you need to use SID= in your tnsnames.ora.
From your post it looks like this still applies to 10g.
I would try changing my tnsnames.ora.
You could of course, immediately after receiving the error, run lsnrctl services and check whether the service_name of the aux database is listed.

How to get the last SCN number from catalog database

Hi All,
I have a catalog database where my PROD database is registered. Evereyday at 12AM rman takes the hot backup of PROD.
Now I want to create a auxillary database using the last RMAN backup, for this I want to restore using the SCN from the catalog views.
Please help me to get the SCN number from the RC_ views.
Regards,
Bikram

How do i create a database template from the command line?

Hi,
As part of implementing a backup and recovery strategy for a client (including disaster recovery) I want to automate the creation of a database template From an Existing Database (Structure as well as data) via a script that will run every night.
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
The idea is that nightly we will run a script that creates a database template from the Existing Database (Structure as well as data) and then transfers the 2 files involved e.g. DB_data_included.dbc and DB_data_included.DFB across to a standby server where they can be used to recreate the database in the event of us needing to after e.g. a complete server failure.
So I have a couple of questions about this that I would be very grateful if something could answer for me:
1)     Is it possible? That is, can a database template be created from some utility by supplying a series of parameter=value pairs on the command line?
2)     If yes how do I go about it, what utility do I use (the emca utility?). and what parameters do I need to supply on the command line to create the template?
3)     The intention is that the script to create the template will run in the early hours of the morning when no-one is using the database but what state does the database need to be in when the template creation script runs i.e. up, down, mounted and does the creation of a template affect the state of an already up database i.e. if I kick off the template creation script and the database is up will it switch it into mount mode or anything like that? My concern here is that I want to make sure I understand exactly what is going on so that no users or connected external systems are affected?
Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to guide me on what to do or what documentation to read.
Also if you require any clarification on what i'm asking please post up your query and i'll respond ASAP.
Kind Regards,
George Johnston

Sybrandb,
Firstly thanks for you reponse.
However, I don’t agree that dbca only creates empty databases otherwise why does the option to create a template from an existing database (structure as well as data) exist in the dbca wizard?
I have performed a test case where I have a created a database template including data on one 10g server. I have then used the files generated to recreate that database on a separate server. When the new database is started it is an exact copy of the original. So it’s not empty at all , it’s exactly what the client wants.
So I don’t agree that I’m gaining zero.
Why is this approach doomed to fail?
There a number of reasons why I “just set up a proper standby database”
1.     Time – I’m on a customer site in a tight engagement where the customer wants maximum value for money. I don’t have standby database skills and the customer isn’t willing to pay for me to learn on the job so please understand the tight circumstances I’m working in.
2.     Availability – As far as I know the client is running 10.2.0.3.0 standard edition. Correct me if I’m wrong but is standby db available in that edition. Where do I look to check V$OPTION.
On the RMAN duplicating a database front it’s an area I haven’t used before but I will take a look at it.
Also please revisit the context of my original posting where I state
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
So please understand that this a quick fix that the client wants developed in the minimum time possible in ADDITION to a full nightly RMAN backup being taken.
In an ideal world I’d have the time to follow best practice but in the real world of on-site customer support I just need to get the job done operating under the customer imposed constraints.
Many Thanks,
George Johnston

Oracle 9i database CLONE

Hi all,
Can any one tell me how to clone oracle 9i database. I am new in DBA post plz help me. Or plz give me any document ID in metalink.

You could use RMAN to clone a database:
Steps for Creating Duplicate Database using Rman:
•     Create an Oracle Password file for the Auxiliary (Duplicate) db.
•     Create an entry for the duplicate db in listener.ora & tnsnames.ora
•     Create an Initialization file for the Duplicate db & modify the following parameters:
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u01/oradata','/u01/oradata1/' [ specify primary db dbf location & duplicate db dbf location ]
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/u02/oradata/','/u02/oradata1/' [ specify primary db redolog location & duplicate db redolog location] CONTROL_FILES=(/dup/oracle/oradata/trgt/control01.ctl)
•     Create spfile for the duplicate db
•     Startup nomount - - - duplicate db
•     Mount or open the primary db
•     Take a backup of primary db including archivelogs using rman
•     Duplicating a Database on a Remote Host with the Same Directory Structure: rman catalog=rman/17rman05@t920_ant target=/ auxiliary=sys/dbsys@dupdb
run { DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb                                            NOFILENAMECHECK; }
•     Duplicating a Database on a Remote Host with the Different Directory Structure: DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb
