Error ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version while restoring db from backup

Hi all,
SO: Solaris 10 (installed in a zone in Solaris 11)
DB: 9.2.0.6
We are facing the error stack below when trying to recover a 9i database from a previous full backup:
ORA-01110: data file 28: '/u01/app/oracle/9.2/db/oradata/datafile28.dbf'
ORA-01122: database file 28 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 28: '/u01/app/oracle/9.2/db/oradata/datafile28.dbf'
ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version read for file number 28The datafile28 was successfully restored from the full backup to the location specified in the RMAN script. We executed the dbverify utility on the datafile28, but no corruption was detected. We also brought the datafile to the offline state and then re-executed the RMAN script, without success.
What do you think can be causing this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.
The issue was related to the names of the datafiles. We had some datafiles with the same name in different raw devices, and when trying to restore these datafiles to the same mount point, the error was raised. To solve, we restored some datafiles to a different mount point, keeping the original name from the source.

  • Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

    Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so.  Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards.  I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me.  that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer.  I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

  • Error in writing to file libnjssl.so while upgrading iAS

    Hi folks,
    'm trying to upgrade an EBS from 11.5.8 to 11.5.10.2
    One pre requisite is to apply patch 2376472 , which upgrades iAS to 8.1.7.4
    This patch gives the following error:
    Error in writing to file /u01/oracle/mavora/iAS/lib/libnjssl.so
    File is generated but it seems it can't be written (it has zero bytes)
    runinstall was ran from $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/bin
    logged in as app user
    App and DB are both down.
    ORACLE_SID was set as MAV (the same ORACLE_SID as oracle db user)
    Any suggestion ?
    Thanks in advance!

    Is the old file present beforehand? Can you rename it?
    I vaguely remember of having written a note for this some 5 years ago but it may have become archived. You could consider contacting Oracle Support to dig for it :)

  • ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

    If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
    I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

  • SQL Server 2012 restoring database from backup file

    Hi All,
    1. I was restoring the database from PROD box to DEV box with the deferent name.
    For Ex: Both PROD and DEV boxes are having "A" database. Now I am refreshing database"A" from PROD bot to DEV box with name "B". Now while restoring in SQL server 2012 I used GUI and took database name as "A" by default.
    by mistake I executed the request. before completing I notice that "A" database in DEV Box went to restoring mode.
    Now, in middle I stopped the query but still I am seeing database "A" is in restoring state.
    Please guide me is there any way to bring database online with current data?
    2. Why sql server 2012 takes tail log backup of the existing database while restoring database with different name?

  • Error ORA-01446 when updating a versioned table with SQLDeveloper 1.5.4

    Hi,
    I have been trying out Oracle Workspace Manager to test how versioned tables might work to our advantage. My basic testing process is:
    1. Create a table
    2. Add some data rows
    3. Version enable the table
    4. Create a workspace
    5. Goto the created workspace
    6. Update a row
    7. Commit and I get the following error
    UPDATE "COMSERV"."A_OWM_TEST" SET DESCRIPTION = 'ABCDEFGHIJzzzz' WHERE ROWID = 'AAAThNAAIAAAgwqAAY'
    One error saving changes to table "COMSERV"."A_OWM_TEST":
    Row 10: ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
    The same update works fine from SQLPlus so my question is Does SQL developer support table versioning or have I done something wrong is setting up my versioned tables?
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Richard Wilkinson

    hye...
    is that any view referring to that table...
    check the code on how u create that view...
    for e.g.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW testview
    (id, name)
    AS
    select * from testing;
    this also will populate that ORA-01446 error.
    just a suggestion cause i also have a similar problem on ORA-01446 and i resolve it by alter the view..
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW testview
    (id, name)
    AS
    select id, name from testing;
    correct me if i'm worng...i'm just a newbie..
    thank you...

  • Restored Domain from backup, and now "An unknown error occurred"

    iWeb (and my own mistakes) messed up my home page, so I decided to restore a backup copy of the Domain file from Time Machine back into user/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Everything copied fine and opened as I hoped in iWeb. No problems there.
    But now, whenever I try to publish my site to MobileMe, iWeb gets through the process of uploading all the files, and then gives me a Publishing Error message saying, "An unknown error occurred." (It says this instead of giving the usual dialog box about my site being published, and do I want to visit my site now.) It looks like my site is operating just fine, new files and text published properly. But I can't get the error message to go away.
    Any ideas? My site is here: http://web.mac.com/techinnoval

    I don't know why, but now it's working fine. I made one change to my Home page, republished, and now no more error. Odd.

  • ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure while calling procedure from VC++

    hi all,
    i am writing stored procedures and calling these from vc++. I have one stored procedure in that all
    in and out perameters are numeric. When i am calling these procedure i am able to get the values properly. But in another procedure one in perameter is varchar and one out perameter is varchar. When i am calling these procedure from vc++ the error i am getting is "ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure". I test my vc++ code on different computers but its giving the same errors. I think ora-12571 error is when i can't communicate with oracle. But other stored procedures(in and out perameters are numbers) and sql statements are running properly. Only these stored procedure which has in and out perameters as varchar is giving me the above said problem. My out perameter in this procedure strtax is of type varchar and the length 100. Is it the problem. Please suggest me how to over come this problem.

  • When I click a backup date to restore bookmarks from backup, get error message "unable to process the backup file". unable to successfully copy bookmarks from default profile to new profile, nor access the backup function successfully. any suggestions?

    I had trouble with WiseStamp and was advised to create a new profile. I did and the WiseStamp issue was resolved. However, I now have no bookmarks on the new profile. I copied the places. file from the old profile to the new one, but with no success. The bookmarks do exist on the old profile. I like having WiseStamp working, but need those multitude of bookmarks more! Any advice greatly appreciated. :)

    Did you try to restore from another JSON backup?
    You can try to move places.sqlite to another location and only leave that backup file in the bookmarkbackups folder.
