Ebs r12 cloning using rman online backup

dear all,
how are you guys? i have ebs r12 on multi node and i want to clone db tier and apps tier using rman online backup,can anybody provide me the detail steps of cloning ebs(db tier and appstier ) using rman online backup and directory structure on source and target database is also different.your help highly appreciated thanks in advance.
regards.

Hi,
You cannot use RMAN to clone the Apps tier of the EBS and you may use RMAN only on the DB tier. For a complete backup, as mentioned by Hemant K Chitale, you will have to use the rapid clone utility.
To perform a rapid clone using RMAN there are plenty of step by step instructions in google which may guide in addition to support.oracle.com, Let me google that for you
Thanks &
Best Regards,

RMAN Restore using RMAN COLD Backup!!

Hi All,
I Need to restore a database using rman cold backup taken a month back.
Can i use Duplicate database option until time/scn just like we do for hotbackup or is there any other procedure for cloning/refreshing the database using RMAN COLD BACKUP of source.
Thanks & Regards,
Pdev

This may be used to clone db
connect target sys/sys@<dba>
connect catalog rman/rman@<dba>
connect auxiliary sys/sys<new>
run {
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\undotbs01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\users01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\indx01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\oracle\oradata\giri\example01.dbf';
allocate auxiliary channel dupdb1 type disk;
set until sequence 2 thread 1;
duplicate target database to dupdb

Cloning using rman backups?

Is it possible to clone using RMAN backups?
How do we do it . Please tell me the steps of configuring.

Hi,
Let's take the example to create the auxiliary (clone) database using the rman backup in same server.
1)Building the auxiliary database directory structure
a) datafile, control file, redo file location
b) pfile,bdump,cdump,udump
2) Create the pfile from spfile (if required) and use it for auxiliary database with appropriate modification
3) Make all the necessary changes to your aux1 init.ora file
control_files=….
background_dump_dest=….
user_dump_dest=…
log_archive_dest_1=….
db_name=‘aux1’
instance_name=‘aux1’
remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
4) Start aux1 instance in nomount mode
ORACLE_SID=aux1
export ORACLE_SID=aux1
sqlplus /nolog
sql>connect / as sysdba
sql> startup nomount pfile=/test/initaux1.ora
5)Configure the listener and tnsname.ora file for auxiliary database. Restart the listener.
lsnrctl>stop
lsnrctl>start
listener.ora entry
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = AUX1)
(ORACLE_HOME=/ORAHOME1/)
(SID_NAME = AUX1)
TNSNAMES.ORA ENTRY
AUX1 =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = xxx) (PORT = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = AUX1)
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
6) Connect to the target and auxiliary instance and run the duplicate command
Rman>connect target /
Rman>connect auxilary sys/password@aux1
RMAN> connect target sys@prod
target database Password:
connected to target database: aaaa (DBID=4199802962)
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys@aux1
auxiliary database Password:
connected to auxiliary database: aux1 (not mounted)
RMAN> run
2> {
3> set newname for datafile 1 to 'C:\AUX1\SYSTEM01.DBF';
4> set newname for datafile 2 to 'C:\AUX1\UNDOTBS01.DBF';
5> set newname for datafile 3 to 'C:\AUX1\CWMLITE01.DBF';
6> set newname for datafile 4 to 'C:\AUX1\DRSYS01.DBF';
7> set newname for datafile 5 to 'C:\AUX1\EXAMPLE01.DBF';
8> set newname for datafile 6 to 'C:\AUX1\INDX01.DBF';
9> set newname for datafile 7 to 'C:\AUX1\TOOLS01.DBF';

Using rman to backup a remote database

I am after a good guide or advice on how (what) to install and (how to) run Oracle RMAN
to backup a remote Oracle database.
RMAN must be installed and run on a Solaris (SunOS 5.8) box remote from the Solaris
box (also SunOS 5.8) running the Oracle database but connected to it via a TCP/IP
network.
The Oracle Recovery Manager and Database version is 9.2.0.1.0.
RMAN must perform the backup of the remote database over the network and store
the backup on a disk local to the RMAN box.
The backups may be full or incremental and may be "hot" backups taken while the
Oracle database is open.
The disk files are to be then backed up to tape using Veritas.
What software do I need to install on the RMAN box ?
What software do I need to install on the remote Oracle database box ?
Thanks,
Brett Morgan.

writes to a NFS-mounted diskRman is writing to disk or tape (when is bundled (libraries needed) with some backup software for tapes such as Veritas). The disk device could be local, or mounted disk form other host or storage (over NFS as Werner mentioned, SMB and others).

Please let know the setps for creating new databaseIf it is in archivelog mode you can use duplicate to refresh database DEMO from TEST..
or after cold backup, go to mount ,
create trace file of controlfile becuase you are chaning database name
recreate the controlfile

Apps Cloning using RMAN

Hi,
I am doing Apps 11i cloning with rapidclone.
I have cloned the database using RMAN.
As per the metalink note 230672.1 I have to run following script on DB node.
perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <target context file>
However I dont have the context file for the new instance.
Should I copy the context file (for DB) from source instance , rename it and use it?
If I run the adcfgclone.pl using the source instance context file (present in the target db node), it throws
error for database connection.
Platform - Oracle Ebusiness Suite 11.5.10 on Oracle enterprise Linux 4 and Oracle 9i database.
Pls advice.
Thanks,
rane

However I dont have the context file for the new instance.Did you run "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTechStack" before issuing "perl adcfgclone.pl dbconfig <target context file>"? This should create the context file for you.
Should I copy the context file (for DB) from source instance , rename it and use it?No.
If I run the adcfgclone.pl using the source instance context file (present in the target db node), it throws
error for database connection.This is an expected behavior since the context file of the source node cannot be used on the target node.

Has anyone used iDrive online backup?

I've been using a combintation of Mozy and Dropbox for backup and syncing, respectively, and, after doing an exhaustive comparison of many of the alternative online backup services, I've decided that iDrive is the best online backuo alternative for me. It seems to have gotten fairly favorable reviews online and they offer the most competitve pricing (a very generous student discount). However, before I change services, I wondered if anyone has used iDrive and, if so, what their experiences have been. I've pretty much settled on iDrive and so other online backup services are not really an option at this point (and I've looked at many), unless iDrive is a complete dog.
I am also considering using iDriveSync in place of Dropbox because it has all the features I desire and is much less expensive than Dropbox. Any impressions of iDriveSync would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

I'm considering iDrive for two college students as well. Now that you have used iDrive for more than a year, are you still happy with your decision?

Cloning using RMAN on two different OS

DB version:10gR2
Can i clone DB running on AIX 5.3 using RMAN and recreate it in a Solaris (5.9) machine?

I hope it is possible using transportable database concept for cross platfomr migrations.
It is simple and fastest procedure.

RMAN online backup with dbconsole.

I want to run an online (hot) backup of a 10g enterprise edition database using dbconsole. There is no option for this on the web page that I can see. I thought I could trick the software by selecting 'whole backup' and then edit the RMAN script and enter the command 'backup database plus archivelog'. That command was documented as the way to run an onlne backup in the Oracle Press book 'Oracle Database 10g, RMAN Backup & Recovery'.
But there was a message stating that the database would be brought down during the backup, obviously ignoring the command mentioned above.
1. Can I perform a hot backup with dbconsole?
2. If so, how?

What to use for online backups.

I currently run weekly backups with option 21 (Save all).
Which brings all the subsystems and Sap down.
What's the best way to run online weekly backups without bringing SAP down and ending al the subsystems.

Hi Joe,
I allways do a save-while active in my own CL save programs, and only very rare it does not find a sync point.

Less redo generates at the time of online backup using RMAN

Hi,
can someone eleborate that why less redo generates at the time of RMAN online backup in comparison of manual hotbackup.
Thanks

A manual hot backup (aka "OS backup" or "scripted backup") cannot handle fractured blocks. This happens when a backup command is copying out blocks from a datafile at the same time as DBWR is updating blocks. The Oracle Block Size (8KB) is generally a multiple of the OS Block size (512Bytes to 4KB or 8KB, depending on the filesystem / raw device and how the OS command copies blocks out). It is possible for DBWR to write 8KB and the OS backup utility to be concurrently reading the same Oracle block as, say, two different 4KB reads. The first half of the Oracle block may be read by one OS call and the second half by another OS call -- the two halves would be inconsistent with each other if Oracle were writing the database block at the same time.
(Therefore a restore of such a backup would give you an inconsistent -- i.e. fractured -- block, which would be logically corrupt).
In order to handle such issues, after a BEGING BACKUP is issued, for every first change to a database block, the whole block is written to the redo stream, not just the change vectors. (If the same database block is subsequently modified while in BACKUP mode, it is only the change vectors that have to be written to the redo stream). Once the END BACKUP is issued, the redo stream does not need to capture whole database blocks.
If such a backup is restored, it still has fractured blocks. However, when applying the ArchiveLogs generated during the Backup, each such fractured block is "automagically repaired" because a whole image is restored from the ArchiveLog. (Subsequent changes are replayed as changes through the change vectors).

Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

Hi,
we have 11.5.10.2 instance
Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

Hi,
This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.
Please have a look at the following notes, it should be helpful.
