Encountering ORA-01152 when implementing DataGuard

Working of a 2-node cluster hosting 11.1.0.7 on a Linux RH4 platform, and attempting to implement DataGuard on a single node with same OS and same DB version, and followed document http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/dataguard11g_rac_maa.pdf
The "duplicate target " command works successfully, and having recreated the sp file on the standby node, when I attempt to startup the standby database I get the following error.
SQL> startup

ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATA/abcdg/datafile/system.258.697912407'
I have re-tried several times without success - any ideas anybody?

I've skimmed the PDF and I think what has happened is that you may have slightly diverged from the sequence shown by issuing "startup" instead of "startup mount", the difference being that "startup" tries to open the standby database in read only mode, which is when ORA-01152 is thrown.
I'm assuming here that the rman duplicate operation does not include a recovery phase, if that is true then the restored datafiles will need recovering to a consistent state before the database can be opened in read-only mode.
In short you probably just need to issue:
recover managed standby database disconnect;and let managed recovery run the archive logs in. Once it is consistent then subsequent "startup" commands should work without error.
If you don't actually want it open read-only then you can just leave it in a mount state and running managed recovery.

ORA-01152 when restoring from RMAN backupset in NOARCHIVELOG mode

Hi all,
I got the error ORA-01152 when I tried restoring an Oracle 10g R1 database from an RMAN backupset into a new server. The error returned when it reached to the level of opening the database in resetlogs.
The database runs on NOARCHIVELOG mode and on Windows 2003 Server SP2 32-bit.
Following is what I did in RMAN:
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1
set ORACLE_SID=DAWA
set PATH=D:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\bin;%PATH%

ORA-01152 -- When Bringing Up Standby Database

Hi All,
I'm trying to bring a standbye database on the same server as my primary database. i'm doing this to play around, hoping to do it with PRD using separate servers. I have found several good step by step references for doing this. I'm currently using:
http://www.dbaclick.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=366&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0
I have tried several things to get this up. I have shutdown the primary db and manually copied the datafiles to the standby location and then created a standby control file. I have also tried taking an image copy of the datafiles using RMAN and then creating the standby control file. Both produce same result. I can startup mount the Standby db but when i try to open the standby db in read only mode i get the following:
ORA-16004: backup database requires recovery
ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1:
'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\standby\SYSTEM01.DBF'
Does anyone have any idea as to why i'm getting this? Is there a preferred way to copy the primary db's datafiles to create standby. According to my instructions the manually copied datafiles shoudl be taken BEFORE the standby control file is generated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... i've been wrestling with this for far too long.
Thanks,

i got it to go. I believe what i did wrong was not configure my parameters files correctly. LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 was erroring out so the archive logs were not applied to the standby database. I manually copied and applied the archive logs to my Standbye. I was then able to open in read only. After that I had to create a password file for my standby which made the LOG_ARCIVE_DEST_2 parameter work.
I'm good to go... thanks

Encount Ora-29534 when loadjava xmlparserv2.jar

I encounted ora-29534 error message when I tried to load xml pl/sql parser using the following command:
% loadjava -user scott/tiger -r -v xmlparserv2.jar
Environment: Oracle8.1.5
windows nt sp4
jdk1.1.8
What causes this problem and how to resolve it?
Thanks!
Allen

Got the problem sorted out. Apparently it was because I had Oracle 8.1.5 which used Java 1.1.7, whereas the version of xmlparserv2.jar I had was compiled using a more recent version of Java.
Migrated to Oracle 8.1.7, and that solved the problem.

Encounter ORA-01002 when calling OCIStmtFetch2 to fetch blob data

Oracle Version：Release 10.2.0.1.0
Description:
We use these two functions to fetch the content of blob field dynamically in batch mode:
OCIDefineByPos(OCI_DYNAMIC_FETCH)
OCIDefineDynamic(callbackfun->cbf_get_data)
We allocate fixed memory to fetch data in order to using compact memory.
If the size of blob to be fetched is larger than the allocated memory size, the fetch can not be done in one call, which need to be interrupted.
Those records would remain in cache and can only be fetched until calling OCIStmtFetch2 next time.
The callback function:cbf_get_data, achieves this by returning OCI_ROWCBK_DONE, which marks current fetch interrupted.
It would not return OCI_CONTINUE, because OCI_CONTINUE can not interrupt current fetch procedure in time.
We made a sample code test, and found this logic only works when fetching small rows (nearly 800 rows). Exceptions occurred when fetching more rows(>=1000 rows).
For example, among these 2 cases,
1.（OCIStmtFetch2(m_stmthp,m_errhp,(ub4)800,OCI_FETCH_NEXT,(sb4)OCI_FETCH_RELATIVE,OCI_DEFAULT)
2.（OCIStmtFetch2(m_stmthp,m_errhp,(ub4)1000,OCI_FETCH_NEXT,(sb4)OCI_FETCH_RELATIVE,OCI_DEFAULT)
only the 1st one work, but the 2nd.
After function cbf_get_data returns OCI_ROWCBK_DONE, calling OCIStmtFetch2 did not enter into callback function cbf_get_data.
And OCIErrorGet showed such error:
ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence
the total number of result set is about 100,000.
We tried to set PREFETCH to a larger value in this way::
OCIAttrSet(m_stmthp,OCI_HTYPE_STMT,(dvoid *)&rnum,0,OCI_ATTR_PREFETCH_ROWS,m_errhp);
rtn=OCIAttrSet((dvoid *)m_stmthp, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_STMT,(dvoid *)&preFetch, (ub4)sizeof(preFetch), OCI_ATTR_PREFETCH_MEMORY,m_errhp);
but it did not help.
Waiting for you guidance.
Thanks in advance!

Help! ORA 01012 WHEN execute SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER

I encounter ORA 01012 WHEN execute "SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL;" in my ProC program, but under SQLPLUS it is ok. The whole scenarios are:
1. My platform is Solaris 10, Oracle 10.2g / 64bit
2. "alter system archive log current" failure, Oracle complaint about flash_recovery_area full, so I run
delete obsolete;
crosscheck backup;
delete expired backup;
3. Later I issued command "shutdown", oralce had no reponse after long time, so I issued command "shutdown abort" to shutdown the database, and then "startup" the database successfully to "READ WRITE", user application can also accessed the database.
4. One of my ProC program get ORA-01012 when execute SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL;
5. But I got no error if I execute "SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL; " using SQLPLUS.
Any suggestion about this problem? blow is my ProC function call.

Encountered ORA-01722 Invalid number when query doc from view

Hi all,
I have the following view.
Select item, to_number(wo) a
from tablea
union all
select item, wo
from tablebb
The problem rise ( ORA-01722) when I try to search for wo from the view after the view has been created. The wo field in tablea was varchar2 where user will key in the number only. And wo in tabebb is number, I can't change the column format as it is belong the my standard application table. How to solve this problem ?
Thanks

sm**** wrote:
I try to simplified my query. In fact, there are several where clause for both tables. The reason is because of the varchar2 field in WO at tablea versus the numeric field in WO for tableb. OK. The problem then is almost certainly that you have non-numeric characters in the column but you don't happen to have non-numeric characters in the columns that match all the other predicates.
Oracle is free to apply the TO_NUMBER function before it applies some or all of the predicates you specify in your WHERE clause. If it happens to apply the TO_NUMBER on a row that has non-numeric data before it applies the condition in the WHERE clause that filters out that particular row, you'll get an error. If, on the other hand, Oracle happens to filter out the row before applying the TO_NUMBER, you'll get the results you expect. It all comes down to which plan Oracle picks. But, in general, there is no guarantee about whether you'll get an error or whether you'll get the data you want.
You can define your own function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_to_number( p_str IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN number
IS
l_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_num := to_number( p_str );
RETURN l_num;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
RETURN null;
END;and use that instead of to_number in your query. That will catch the exception if the function is applied to a row before one of the predicates is applied.

I have a database based on the "general purpose/transaction processing" db, but with a custom tablespace/data added. I have attempted to clone this database by using dbca to create a custom template (including data) from this database. The template creation appears to be successful -- however, when I use dbca to try to create a new db from this custom template, I get the following error when dbca attempts to initialize the instance:
ORA-01152: file 5 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 5: <path to my custom tablespace .dbf>
If I select "ignore" at this point, I get further errors, the next error is
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00201: Identifier 'DBMS_SERVICE.DELETE_SERVICE' must be declared
I'm using 11gR2, and am relatively inexperienced on the dba side, any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ben

Update: I had unintentionally left my custom tablespace in READONLY state after an earlier experiment with transportable tablespaces. After putting the tablespace back into READ WRITE mode and creating a new template, I was successfully able to create a new db from the template.
I'm still a little curious why this procedure wouldn't work properly with a READONLY tablespace, however.

Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

Hi all,
Need some help from all out there
In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesnt work anymore when the server is rebooted.
Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.

Problem statement:
ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,
[libskgxn9.so->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 7933 plats=1=>[46]langs=1=> en,fr,ar,bn,pt_BR,bg,fr_CA,ca,hr,cs,da,nl,ar_EG,en_GB,et,fi,de,el,iw,hu,is,in, it,ja,ko,es,lv,lt,ms,es_MX,no,pl,pt,ro,ru,zh_CN,sk,sl,es_ES,sv,th,zh_TW, tr,uk,vi]]
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]]
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

Series of ORA-7445 Errors After Applying 9.2.0.7.0 Patchset to 9.2.0.6.0 Database (Doc ID 373375.1)

Error ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup

Its also not thread just to share info with oracle gurus here.If my findings for the below workaround is wrong then please do correct me.
Sometime you get the error after performing restoring controlfile when you don't have autobackup controlfile on
error ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
why?
Cause When you shutdown the database with using the normal,transactional or immediate options not abort a full checkpoint occurs.A full checkpoint ensures that all of the dirty blocks contained in the buffer cache are written to the data files,the database comes into synchronized state at this time i.e controlfile CKPT SCN=databasefile CKPT.
Like in this demo i am not taking backup the database in opened mode

Demo 2
------------Now in this demo i am taking backup the database in opened mode before backup
database i have deleted alls previous backup.
Database is in opened moder if i take the backup in database opened mode
(i.e full checkpoint will not occur controlfile CKPT SCN<>datafile CKPT SCN)
you will get the error when you will restore controlfile from backup set.
error ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
Reason is that CKPT SCN in the datafiles will be ahead of the backupset control file no
full checkpoint occuring. You are not taking backup in consistent state and the
backupset will not be in consistent state.When you will restore the control file from
backupset then yours restored control file SCN will be lesser then yours datafile
checkpoint SCN.

. ( ) , * @ % & = - + < / > at in is mod remainder not rem =>
<an exponent (**)> <> or != or ~= >= <= <> and or like
This is in response to calling a stored procedure with this signature.
MY_THING (
p1 IN NUMBER,
p2 OUT NUMBER,
p2 IN NUMBER
I believe this is a failure with the ODBC driver to parse
{call MY_STUFF.MY_THING(791200, ?, 1067744)}
Now to head off the obvious responses, I'm going to say these things in boldface
the procedure itself is fine, and works flawlessly under test
*nowhere in any of the code is an upside-down '?' as reported in the error message*
Has anyone else encountered this--or better yet solved it?

thanks for the replies.
I'd have to rule out triggers at the point the stored procedure is run. Other than logging, it doesn't do any writes to the database. It does a couple of look-ups, and returns the results in a cursor. As for the web servers, they're pretty much copies of each other. 'Out of the box + updates' Windows Server 2008 machines with our application installed on each.
The software issuing the ODBC call is old, well worn, tried and true C++. In this case the only string parameters passed are 'PA' or 'PJ' the rest is all integers.
But again I want to stress that it doesn't appear that we reach the database when it fails. It appears to fail when the ODBC driver is parsing the '{call xxxxxx} statement.
On a hunch, I've just reconfigured our application to treat the offensive call as if it were an 'external' reference. Meaning that a new ODBC connection will be created/destroyed for each run. Not very efficient, but I'll take slow over broken any day. It's too early to tell if this will eliminate the error.

this is a production database runing in windows platform and there is no backup
what should iWell first of all you should stop using EXP for backups, it's quite unsuitable, and start using RMAN instead. Find out more.
If you have a Metalink account you shoudl read Note:298968.1. But teh headline is there is a bug in 10gR1 which is fixed in 10gR2. This may not help you much. The workaround is to try running the export again later, which may not be any more helpful.

here are the result of my query and it seems that the tablespace is recognized by the DB.
is there still any reason why? also when i try to drop the said tablespace in getting a response of the "tablespace does not exist" but when i try to create the tablespace it says that "ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-00001: unique constraint (SYS.I_TS1) violated"
hope you can help me with this.

ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-01152: file 2 was not restored fr

Hello,
i'm trying to clone a database. It is in archive log mode.
I took a full back using below command
run {
backup
     tag 'DAILY_WHOLE'
     format 'FULL_backup_%s_%p_%c.bkp'     database
     plus archivelog
     tag 'DAILY_WHOLE'
     delete all input;
backup
     current controlfile
     format 'FULL_backup_%s_%p_%c.bkp'     tag 'WHOLE'
     spfile
     format 'FULL_backup_%s_%p_%c.bkp'     tag 'WHOLE';
}then i issue a duplicate database command
RUN

          NOFILENAMECHECK
           NOREDO
          BACKUP LOCATION '/disk10/flash_recovery_area/PROD';
}at the very end I got this error.

NOREDO would be used when you have a Consistent Backup (i.e. backup taken when the database is MOUNTed but not OPEN) and so, no archivelogs need to be applied. (This would also be the case for a NOARCHIVELOG database).
See the notes on NOREDO in the DUPLICATE command documentation in the Backup and Recovery Reference.
