Error : Restore oracle database from TSM
Hi ,
we have the RAMN backups of database in TSM.
presently that database is droped in USNODE1.
now we are trying to restore database from USSERVR23.
i am getting below error,i think its TSM error. related to hostname changes.(ANS1302E (RC2) )

Thanks,

May I ask a couple of questions?
Is the original backup from a RAC instance?
Are you using a Catalog for backup/restore?
What happens if you just use the control file backup, can the restore find the file?
See my question posted in this forum RMAN RAC and TSM features

Hi,
he already restored 30%, so I think we can safely assume at least some stuff did work.
Allthough I agree that since the controlfile is saved last, this is a good test.
Seems to be either a dirty tape (clean drive, repeat) or a faulty backup ( ugh ).
When you retry after cleaning, you can use -f (fillup) to save the restore from retrieving the files it allready got.
Check the initSID.sap for the backup & restore commands and esp. the bs= / ibs= / obs= options.

How to restore a database from host A to host B by using RMAN
Hi there
I wanted to restore 1 database from machine A to machine B with the differente files systemes. I did these steps below, but I have a problem when I restore the controlfile from machine A to machine B.
1-copy the controlfile from machine A to machine B by using OS utility.
2-startup nomount the database on machine B.
3-connect target and catalog RMAN.
4-I have to restore the controlfile from last full backup of the machine A to machine B (see the procedure RMAN).
I have the error messages like:

nullHi there
I'm also trying to restore a full RMAN backup to our DR site using Netbackup as MML
My scenario is:
We have one tape library at our PROD data center and another one at our DR site both using Netbackup as Storage manager
I performed a full RMAN backup on 4 DLT tapes with recovery catalog at our PROD datacenter, then I removed the 4 tapes and place it in our tape lib at DR site
I tried to import the tapes using bpimport from Netbackup which has been successful up to now
But when I tried to restore controlfile from RMAN, I get the following error:

Moving an Oracle Database from Solaris to AIX
Hi all,
I have been asked to move an SAP system using an Oracle database from
Solaris to AIX (on an IBM P590).
Most of the move is straightforward, except the Oracle database
transfer. It would make my life so much easier if I could simply
restore the Oracle datafiles from an off-line backup of the Solaris
system and then link it to a clean install of the Oracle binaries on
the AIX system, rather than have to do an export and import.
Is this possible, after all the AIX Oracle binaries would be the same
patch level as the Solaris binaries and the file systems would be the
same. Also as it would be an offline backup we would not have to do
any recovery, so the archive logs and the original redo logs would not
be required.
Does anyone know if this is possible or has actually executed it
successfully, any hints and tips on the gotchas would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
Chris aka BoobBooHello Chris,
unfortunately you didn't write anything about your oracle version or your backup mechanism like RMAN,etc..
I think you will use Solaris on a SPARC architecture and not on x86? (same endian)
If you have RMAN and 10gR2 then you can use the "Database Transport Across Same Endian Platforms":
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/wnbradv.htm
> RMAN now supports the CONVERT DATABASE command, which can prepare a whole database for transport to a new platform that uses the same endian format. Database transport across platforms provides a faster and easier way to move databases from one platform to another than previous solutions requiring the use of Data Pump.
Metalinknote #413586.1 has a FAQ and a step on step guide.
If you have created your tablespaces under Oracle 10g (no oracle upgrade from previous releases!!) you can use the "Transportable tablespace feature" and copy the database files. SAP has published note #1035051 for that.

Create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client
Hi,
How can we create a new oracle database from OCI or OCCI client?
i am using the oracle 11gR2
Thanks in Advance,
Sreekanth PolakaThough I have not tried creating a database, try if its doable.
You can use OCI to perform SYSDBA operations.
So connect as OCI_SYSDBA and try executing the entire create database command. -
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application
Hi
How to connect to Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
Thank You.Hi,
You need to create Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

How to connect oracle database from tuxedo
Hi,
How to connect oracle database from tuxedo.
If any one can help me.
Regards,it depends on configuration your going to choose, there are two ways--
- Using X/Open standards, for this
you have to make an entry of Resource manager in $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file.
Then in UBBConfig file in GROUPS section u have to set Openinfo.
It also depend on which database you are going to use.
In your service now you need to call tpopen() API from tpsvrinit() function.
- Other possibility is, take an implicit connection using Pro*C or Pro*Cobol whatever platform you are using.

What from the link did you try to follow? Did you try to follow the information in the link i posted, specifically ...
"4.4 Making Oracle Database XE Server Available to Remote Clients"
Once you have done that. You will need to know the IP or possible computer name of the computer on the network which is hosting the database (it would be easiest if the laptop with the database had a static IP assigned by your router, assuming this is a home setup, and you use that for your connection). You will need that information to create a new connection in SQLDeveloper on the laptop without the database installed.
Aside from that you may have to deal with windoze firewall issues and the like, but that removes this from being an Oracle question, you should be able to use google to deal with any issues you encounter in that. -
How to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition
I have installed visual basic 2010 express edition on windows xp. But visual basic 2010 express edition supports Microsoft sql server database file,Microsoft sql server compact 3.5, Microsoft access database file. I want to connect to oracle database from visual basic 2010 express edition. So what drivers are required and how to do connectivity?
Hello,
I wasn't clear on what you were using to make the connection. I had a look in Visual Studio 2010 (don't have express to test sorry).
I think you mean the Data Sources available under the menu Data-> Datasources. this seems to match the description you give when I
look at the list of datasource options.
In here you can make ODBC connections via the Microsoft .net Data Provider .
If you select ODBC as a datasource you can see listed the DSN's you created - for example I see 2 which use the Oracle ODBC driver.
This assumes you installed an Oracle Client + the oracle version of the ODBC driver (comes with the oracle client).
Once you created a server connection then you should see it in the server explorer.
You can also download the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio which is an add on for VS.
** I suspect this is only for VS 2010 and I didn't see that Express was supported.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index-097110.html
Let me know if that helps.
