EM12c Create non-cumulative incremental (level 1) backups against target DB

Is this not available? It appears that we can only create cumulative RMAN incremental backups through Cloud 12c (this is against an 11gR2 DB). Are non-cumulative incrementals no longer supported?

When scheduling a backup through the wizard, the last step displays the RMAN script the wizard has generated for you. Have you tried clicking the 'Edit RMAN Script' and removing the word "cumulative" from the generated script?
I run backups using scripts stored in the recovery catalog so I don't use the click-through backup wizard, but does it not result in a differential incremental backup if you edit the script?

Larger backups for cumulative incremental level 1 backups

I am noticing some strange behaviour for backup of data files in the RMAN cumulative incremental level 1 backup for certain days. I would explain that with an elaboration- the cumulative backup sizes are around 2GB, 19GB, 19GB, 1GB for the dates of 10th Dec, 5th Dec, 3rd Dec and 28th Nov respectively.
Can there be so much difference between the values of backup size for the RMAN cumulative incremental level 1 backup as they are fluctuating from 19GB->1GB?
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

Thanks for your reply. Level 0 backup happened twice between 5th Dec and 10th Dec. I guess, a block which has changed multiple times would be backed up once with all the changes done in a backup on a particular day. The same changes should get reflected in the subsequent level 0 backup.

Yes, obviously any backup (of any kind, of any product) is only capable of backing up the state of things as they exist at the time of the backup.
The recoverability of "intermediate" states (say a given block was modified 5 times between backups, the next backup only gets the 5th state of the block) is done by applying redo - archived or online, as is needed.
So to make an example to replicate what you report
Day 1 - backup level 0
- block # 1 modified
Day 2 - backup level 1 - backs up Block #1 - backup size 8k
- block # 1 modified
- block # 2 modified
- block # 1 modified
- block # 3 modified
- block # 1 modified
- block # 4 modified
Day 3 - backup level 1 - backs up Blocks 1,2,3,4 - backup size 32k
- block # 5 modified
- block # 2 modified
- block # 7 modified
- block # 3 modified
- block # 6 modified
- block # 4 modified
Day 4 - backup level 1 - backs up Blocks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 - backup size 56k
- block # 5 modified
Day 4 - backup level 1 - backs up Blocks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 - backup size 56k
Day 6 - backup level 0 - all blocks - size ???
- block # 3 modified
Day 7 - backup level 1 - backs up block 3 - backup size 8 k

What is the right TAG for incremental level 1 backup?

We have a sunday level 0 backup like this:
run {
backup as compressed backupset
filesperset 1
     incremental level 0 database
     tag='LEVEL_0_BACKUP'
     include current controlfile
     plus archivelog delete input;
SQL 'alter database backup controlfile to trace';
And Monday to Saturday incremental level 1 backup as this:
run {
backup as compressed backupset
     incremental level 1 database
     tag='LEVEL_1_BACKUP'
     include current controlfile
     plus archivelog delete input;
SQL 'alter database backup controlfile to trace';
Those scripts existed a while ago. I wonder if level 1 tag should be same as level 0 so they can all combined together?
Please kindly advice.

Thanks for all your response.
What I think is with block change tracking enabled, is that the incremental should roll into the level 0 full backup?
What makes you think that? Block change tracking simply allows rman to avoid having to scan every block to see if it needs to be backed up.
I've never heard of an incremental (level 1) "rolling into" a level 0.
Recovery starts with restoring the files from a level 0. Followed by restoring individual blocks from the Level 1. Followed by applying changes from the archived redo. Followed by (if necessary) applying changes from the online redo.
As stated earlier, tags are just user-defined labels. Use them however seems appropriate -- after fully understanding what they are and what they are not. User-specified tags are not even required. I'd be cautious about changing them in an already defined and running system.

Block Media Recovery and RMAN Incremental Level 1 backup

Hi
I have read somewhere that Block Media Recovery will not work if a database is backed up using rman incremental 1. Is this true, and if so is there a work around?
I cannot seem to find this in oralce's documentation.
Regards
Me

Hi,
1) is Full Backup = Incremental level 0 backup?
Yes
2) When oralce say BMR does not work with incremental, will it work in the case I put forward. becuase Im doing an incremental 0...
But does you have the Archive logs available.. ?? If yes then it will Support.
3) Im my case will BMR work...that is use Incr level 0 on Sunday and then use archive logs for mon, tues etc
Yes, I believe.
@Hemanth .. am I right.. ?? Wait for your inputs...

If RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails...

Hi there,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Best regards

Hi,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Check the V$BACKUP_SET dictionary to confirm whether the last backup has been touched by data dictionary. If the failed incremental backup is picked up then the previous incremental backup will be required in case of the next DIFFERENTIAL INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 backup.
But to be on safe side , it is recommended you take a LEVEL 01 CUMILATIVE INCREMENTAL backup from Level 0 till date. So that the recovery process can go through even if the previous backup is not valid.
Thanks &
Best Regards

Prob while creating Non - Cumulative KF with Inflow & Outflow

hello all,
I created 3 Key Figures, with DEPOSIT, WITHDRAWL, BALANCE... with Amount & 0CURRENCY data type... If i measure the DEPOSIT & BALANCE in 0CURRENCY then only i could be able to see the keyfig in Inflow(DEPOSIT) and Outflow(WITHDRAWL) of the Total Key fig.. I hope till here is fine..
Im loading the file thru Flat file..
when im activating the Data Source it got activated(whr 0CURRENCY is taken in once FIELDS tab while mapping)...
The problem started whn im ran IP... its throwing the error msg " The argument " INR" or "USD" cannot be interuppted as a number on assignment field / BIC/WITHDRAWL record 1 value INR.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
what i understood from the message again is ur mapping the filed currency to withdrawal keyfigure.
chk the columns order in datasource and flat file and assign the proper mapping pls.
lets say if u have Deposit,withdrwal, balance,currency as your fields in u r datasource then do have the same fields in your Flat file as well so that they are in same order as in datasource.
pls chk this and try again.

I think you are taking backup with backup plus archive log,archive log backup does the
following steps chronologically
1. Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command.
2. Runs BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL. Note that if backup
   optimization is enabled, then RMAN skips logs that it
   has already backed up to the specified device.
3. Backs up the rest of the files specified in BACKUP
   command.
4. Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command again
   cuase right now it will Backs up any remaining
   archived logsgenerated during the backup.

Incremental level backup

If I take incremental level 0 backup on Monday, full database image copy backup on Tuesday, incremental level 1 on Wednesday and Incremental level 2 backup on Thursday;
Can i do complete recovery on Friday by applying incremental level 1 & 2 backup on the image copy backup???

Your first incremental level 1 will have all the changes since the incremental level 0. The fact that you took an image copy will not be considered by that backup.
was your image copy taken when the db was cleanly shut down? Did it include the control files?

Cumulative Incremental?

Hopefully you all can resolve a question for me. I was under the impression that a CUMULATIVE backup and an INCREMENTAL backup were two separate things.
INCREMENTAL LEVEL : Copies only those data blocks that have changed since the last incremental integer backup, where integer is 0 or 1 (see Example 2-16).
CUMULATIVE : Copies the data blocks used since the most recent level 0 backup (see Example 2-16).
So I go to "Example 2-16"...
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/rcmsynta007.htm
Example 2-16 Performing a Cumulative Incremental Backup
This example backs up all blocks changed in the database since the most recent level 0 incremental backup. If no level 0 backup exists when you run a level 1 backup, then RMAN makes a level 0 backup automatically. Any inaccessible files are skipped.
BACKUP
INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 CUMULATIVE
SKIP INACCESSIBLE
DATABASE;I am confused. I thought that cumulative/incremental were exclusive backup types. How can they both be referenced in the same code block?
Thanks

Hi,
please donot be confuse In the same document it written
Incremental Backups:
An INCREMENTAL backup at level 0 backs up all data blocks in datafiles being backed up. An incremental backup at level 0 is identical in content to a FULL backup,
but unlike a full backup the level 0 backup is a part of the incremental backup strategy.
A level 1 backup copies only changed blocks. A level 1 incremental backup is either differential or CUMULATIVE.
*If cumulative, RMAN backs up all blocks changed since the most recent level 0 backup.*
*If differential, RMAN backs up blocks updated since the most recent level 0 or level 1 incremental backup.*
HTH :)

Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk

I am new to SAP's BR*Tools, and need advice in configuring it to use RMAN.
1. My backups are to be written to a staging area on our SAN.
2. What specific parameters do I need to configure in the initSID.sap file to achive Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk - preferably using RMAN?
3. I have successfully performed a Full (Level 0) backup without RMAN to local disk. Also, I have successfully done an incremental (Level 1) backup using BRTools with RMAN. I want to get BRTools + RMAN based Full (Level 0) backup to local/NFS disk.
--VJ

You need to set the values for the following.
tape_address
archive_copy_dir
tape_size =
backup_mode =
backup_dev_type =
backup_type =
backup_root_dir
volume_archive
volume_backup
tape_pos_cmd

Trouble with Non Cumulative Key Figures

Hi all of you,
I am working on Non Cumlative Key Figures, (NCKF). I have the data like this
Sales rep S100 visited SHOP S1 on 1st Jan and 10th Aug, and transacted worth 100 and 500
SHOP S2 on 1st Mar and 1st July and transacted worth 200 and 300
SHOP S3 on 3rd Sept. and transacted worth 400
Sales rep S200 visited SHOP S1 on 1st Jan and 1st Aug and transacted worth 100 and 300,
visited SHOP S2 on 1st April and transacted worth 200
I created Non Cumulative Key Figure in the following manners:
In modeling in InfoObjects I double clicked on my key figure BILLAMT and selected the Aggregation tab. I selected Counter (all values) for Exception aggregat. By default Agg. Referen. Char was 0calday. I then activated the info object and went to BEx. Here I took other IOs like Salesrep, Shop NUM and Dt. Of trans in rows and Bill amt in columns and executed the report. I am not getting the output how it should come for NON cumulative key figures.
But when I right click the key figure Bill Amount in BEx in change query mode and select properties. I go to the option Calculate result as and selected the option as Count all values. And in another option Calculate Single Value as I selected the option Count all values. I said OK, saved the query and executed it. Now the output is similar to how it comes for a Non Cumulative Key Figure query but I am unable to understand the output.
Now my doubt is where do we set the properties for Non Cumulative Key Figures? Is it in the Administrator Workbench under Modelling under InfoObjects?
OR
Is it in BEx change query mode by right clicking on the key figure and selecting properties?
Please explain.
Thank you
TR.

As for the setting for Non Cumulative key figures...the default setting is done in the Key Figure properties, where u can define the Exception Aggregation. This property is used as such in the query, but if suppose u are getting the normal aggregation in the query , what you could do is "Create The Key Figure as Global Calculated Key Figure in Bex" and go to properties...click on the Button for aggregation ..select the aggregation and define with respt to 0CALDAY ..here.
Hope this helps.

Non cumulative with non-cumulative change

Hi Experts,
I have a Question !, As i know that i can create Non-Cumulative Figure By Means Of two ways:-
1. Non cumulative with non-cumulative change and
2. Non Cumulative with Inflow and Outflow.
the second one is very clear but i am not very clear about 1st option i.e What Non-Cumulative Value changes is? and how it calculates the non-cumulative Value.
If u have an Idea please share your knowledge...
Ragards
Prakash

The 1st option is for key figures like headcount or similar, which you would like to store as a total figure in a cube instead of a DSO in a scenario where you are using a multiprovider on this together with other non-cumulative cubes.
The SAP help below explains this quite well

RMAN level 0 backup with bigfile tablespaces

We noticed that our rman backup process for PROD database is not working properly.
PROD is a 8 TB size database having two bigfile tablespaces each having more than 2 TB datafile.
PROD is a 11gR1 (11.1.0.7) RAC database with ASM storage.
We are taking weekly incremental level 0 backup for entire database and level 1 backup every day.
As per v$session_longops, the approx completion time for the two tablespaces is 5 days.
We can use "SECTION SIZE" parameter to take rman backup for bigfile tablespaces and exclude them from the level 0 backup.
However, in this case our level 0 backup wont include the two bigfile tablespaces and the daily level 1 backup will not include them.
Will you pls advise us on how to take backup in this scenario.
we have only 4TB of LUN allocated for backup and have to keep 7 days of backup on disk.
Thanks in advance !
DR

We can use "SECTION SIZE" parameter to take rman backup for bigfile tablespaces and exclude them from the level 0 backup.
How do you think that the backup will be useful if you exclude some files from level 0 or base backup? You will find difficulties or you can't restore the database in case of disaster.
Yes you can use section size parameter for paralleled big file tablespace backup.
Check below for explanation and example.

Is level 0 backup = whole backup ?

The level 0 backup is a start point that contains all blocks.
if so, is it same as whole database backup?
if so, why it called incremental level 0 backup?
a bit confused.

Its a terminology that makes it confusing. Its indeed the whole backup but in the incremental backup, it serves as the base as well. In oracle. there are terms like this. For example, oracle uses in the B/R manuals , two terms for the backup, whole database backup and full database backup, when actually there is just one command, Backup Database. But the terminology says, if you include your archive logs, spfile with the data files and control files, its whole backup otherwise, its just full backup. This is the similar kind of thing, so don't be confused.
Rest of the details are in that link which is already given to you. Have a good read of it.
