Execute RMAN Backup in debugmode

Hi
We are running RMAN Backup using perl script.
We need to run the RMAN backp in debug mode. How we can do this by passing parameter in the perl script itself.
PS. As we dont need to change the perl script or editing the RMAN script.
Thanks

I don't know how your script is being executed, but you could pass in the debug parameter with the command you use to launch RMAN:
rman target / debug trace='c:\bk_trace.trc'

  • Can RMAN backup and export datapump executed at the same time?

    Hello,
    I have several databases that I backup using RMAN and export datapump everynight starting at 6PM and end at Midnight. The backup maintenance window doesn't give me enough time for each database to run at different time. I am using crontab to schedule my backups. Since I have so many databases that need to be backed up between 6PM - Midnight, some of the export and RMAN backup scripts will execute almost at the same time. My question is can my export data pump and RMAN backup scripts run at the same time?
    Thank you in advance.
    John

    Needs must. If you don't run expdp parallel then it doesn't use that much. If it was really killing the system then look into setting up a Resource plan that knocks that user down but this is a big step.
    I woud better look into using Rman
    system incrementals, and block change tracking, to minimize your RMAN time.
    Regards
    If your shop needs to do both simultaneously then go for it.
    Chris.
    PS : One of my shops has maybe 20-30 rmans and pumps all kicking off some simultaneous, some not, from 0000 to 0130. No complaints from users and no problems either. Go for it.

    Hi,
    Since the error ORA-19809 indicates the lack of space in flash recovery area during the media recovery, I suggested increasing the value of the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.
    Yes, during the media recovery the RMAN will restore the archived log to the default destination (only if the required archived logs are not already on the disks).You can confirm the restore location of the archived log in RMAN restore log/destination specified by parameters log_archive_dest_1/db_recovery_file_dest.

    I am not able to restore spfile from rman backup ;;;

    Hi,
    I would like to know few things
    1. How are you setting the db_name ? you can set db_id at RMAN, how are you setting the db_name ?
    2. Do you have any default init file at default location ? if yes, is the db_name parameter set correctly in that file ?
    Since spfile is yet to be restored, you must set the db_name parameter correctly before you start spfile restore.This can be done with init file at default location which can even contain just one paremeter i.e db_name.

  • How to find out when last rman backup was made in 9i

    Hello,
    i have an oracle 9i database running on windows here. Is there a way to find out when the last rman backup was done with a sql query?
    I would like to create a job inside the database that regulary checks if a rman backup ran sucessfully instead of using scripts in the operating system.
    But i only know about commands in the rman utility (that i can not execute as a job, right?) - is something similar possible with for example sqlplus?

  • Problem in recovery from RMAN backup in case of disk failure

    Hi
    I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows. Full Hot RMAN backup of database is scheduled on daily basis. I am taking backup on disks. And then i do manually copy them on tapes. If any disk failure occurs than can i recover database completely in this scenario. If tried restoing that backup on different machine as given below
    set ORACLE_SID=<name>
    rman target sys/<pwd>@ORACLE_SID nocatalog
    startup nomount
    restore spfile
    create pfile from spfile
    startup nomount pfile
    alter database mount
    restore database
    Everything worked fine till above steps. Now i will execute last step.
    recover database
    Here it gives error:-RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 scn 264750
    Still i typed
    alter database open resetlogs
    Now i can open my database, But is it recovered completely? Or there is loss of some data? Why it is giving this error?
    Thanks in advance. Waiting for reply.

    I can understand the confusion with this whole concept.
    What I meant by all archivelogs is all the archivelogs that were backed up with the backup itself. Again, it is essential to ensure that you archive the current redo log AFTER the backup is performed and then back those archivelogs too. Good thing is, RMAN will take care of this for you if you backup the archivelogs with the BACKUP DATABASE command and/or backup the archivelogs AFTER you run the BACKUP DATABASE command.
    Once you've mounted the controlfile and CATALOG the archivelogs, you can go into SQL*Plus and issue the following query:
    select SEQUENCE#, FIRST_CHANGE#, NEXT_CHANGE# from v$archived_log
    order by FIRST_TIME;This will tell you what archivelog is the latest. Logs generated during the backup may also provide the necessary information. Performing Disaster Recovery should help to understand the full process.
    The ONLINELOG directory in FRA is only populated if you've configured your redo logs to be stored there. However, you are on 9i...right? If so 9i doesn't utilize a FRA.

  • RMAN backup files are still exist since long time, how to delete?

    Dear sir;
    I'm using the below script to do daily backup, however there are many rman backup files are still exist and consumes HD size, how could I delete these files in daily bases? some files dated in FEB, MAR, APR,

    Hi;
    Our backup policy should have 7 days; however we have here some files from JAN, FEB,MAR, APR /2012 WHICH ARE BEYOND THE RETENTION DATE and these files should be deleted by executing " delete noprompt obsolete; ".

    above is a short list of contents.
    to do our daily backup we perform the following script (in daily)
    ==================
    backup incremental level=0 as compressed backupset database format '/u15/rman/full_backup_%U.rman';
    backup archivelog all not backed up 2 times format '/u15/rman/arc_backup_%U.rman';
    backup current controlfile format '/u15/rman/control_%U.rman';
    delete archivelog all backed up 2 times to device type disk completed before 'sysdate-7';
    delete noprompt obsolete;

  • RMAN backup and restore for Disaster Recovery

    Hi Guys,
    I am very new to Oracle and have a question about RMAN backup and restore feature. I am simulating a disaster recovery scenario by having two VMs running oracle 11g, say hosta and hostb, hosta is sort of production db and the other a disaster recovery db (one that will be made primary when disaster occurs). My goal is to backup production db using RMAN and restore it on the other machine. For some reason when I restore the db on hostb, the command restores the previous backup but not the most recent one e.g. I took a backup yesterday (09/20) and applied it to the hostb that worked fine, but when I try to apply a fresh backup from today (09/21) it always picks up the old backup. Here's a dump of the screen:
    Starting restore at 21-SEP-11
    using channel ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore
    channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set

    channel ORA_DISK_1: restored backup piece 1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:01:05

    Notice that it reads the backup piece from this location /oracle/app/dev/flash_recovery_are
    a/FORUMS/backupset/
    whereas my latest backups are stored at a different location.
    I am executing following steps at the RMAN prompt on hosta and hostb:
    hosta (production site)
    backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog
    backup current controlfile format'/oracle/oracle_bkup/ctl_%U'
    backup spfile
    hostb (Disaster site)
    set dbid=13732232063
    startup force nomount
    restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/2011_09_21/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110921T114945_77ndg9ys_.bkp'
    shutdown immediate
    /* create a init<db_name>.ora file with SPFILE= /oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora */
    startup force pfile='/export/home/dev/restore_db/initforums.ora' nomount
    restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/2011_09_21/ctl_1hmn3mic_1_1'
    /* restart rman here */
    quit
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/2011_09_21' noprompt;
    /* call the next two commands on run */
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs
    quit
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help here. I redid everything all over again to get all the information you guys wanted. Since I noticed that more eyes are looking into this I am going to reiterate my steps one more time followed by specific answers to questions. My first backup on Host B is located under ..../restore_db/backupset whereas the subsequent one is under .../restore_db/backupset/backupset2.
    I take backup on Host A using:
    rman target /
    backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
    backup spfile;
    quit;
    I restore the backup on Host B using:
    set dbid=13732232063;
    startup force nomount;
    restore spfile to '/oracle/app/dev/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/spfileforums.ora' from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_nnsnf_TAG20110928T171830_787gbpxh_.bkp'
    shutdown immediate;
    startup force nomount;
    restore controlfile from '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20110928T171638_787gbkxn_.bkp'
    quit;
    /* restart rman here */
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset' noprompt;
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    quit;
    I take another backup on Host A using (notice no spfile backup this time):
    backup as compressed backupset database plus archivelog;
    quit;
    I restore the database on Host B using:
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/export/home/dev/restore_db/backupset/backupset2' noprompt;
    recover database;
    alter database open;
    quit;
    Output of List Backup of database (I have done this after I recovered the second time, also note that it is referring to backupset2 which is were my second backup is stored)
    RMAN> list backup of database;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

  • Rman backup errors..

    hi guru's
    please tell me the answeres..for this
    what will happen if we re run the Rman backup due to the job failure...will take a new backup from the begining? or will start from the first backup end where it left ?
    i am deleting some archieved logs on the archieved destination before takeing the RMAN backup, and then running rman backup ...then any error will raised for the missing files during Rman archive log backup for missing files? i have the files like 1 to 10 ...in that 5 and 6 logs are deleted before takeing the Rman backup..how to resolve this?

    You can continue backup from which files not backed up and this is call restartable backup.Please refer below link

  • Restoring Rman backup on New Host with different directory structure

    Hi,
    I have a following scenario to clone the database.
    1. clone the database on new server
    2. source is non - ASM and target is ASM
    3. On source incremental level 0 backup taken on disk connecting to catalog, the backup is moved to target host to different directory structure
    4. source is running on 32-bit Linux two node Rac and Target is running on 64-bit Linux two node Rac
    I did the following steps and getting below error:
    1. I copied incremental Level 0 backup to target server(where we need to build new db) to different directory structure
    2. On target i created pfile and build the instance, as dbf file are in multiple locations in source i put following tow parameters in init.ora of target database
    *.db_file_name_convert =(/u02/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA2/udev/datafile),(/u03/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u12/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile,),(/u99/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u09/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u14/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u07/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u06/oradata/prod/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile'),(/u05/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile)
    *.log_file_name_convert =("/u99/oradata/app1p/","+QADATA2/udev/onlinelog/")
    3. connected to rman -->> started db in nomount -->> restored the controlfile --> cataloged the backup piece and then i am trying to restore
    All the above steps i did using the Doc id *How To Restore Rman Backups On A Different Node When The Directory Structures Are Different [ID 419137.1]*
    script i am using is :

  • Create a database from 8i RMAN backup

    Hi,
    I am in need to recover some historic data from a historic database's RMAN backup.
    The situation is ... I have one old RMAN backup of a 8i database which includes datafiles, archivellog files and control files. Init.ora file is also available.
    I have installed the 8i software in a host and created the oracle service through ORADIM and pwd file through ORAPWD utility. Then copied the init.ora file under 'C:\Oracle\ADMIN\ORCL\PFILE' and the RMAN backup files under 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE' folder.
    Now I can start the instance with the init.ora file but can not mount as control files are not there. when I try to restore the control files through RMAN as...
    RMAN> run
    2> {
    3> restore controlfile;
    4> }
    RMAN-03022: compiling command: restore
    RMAN-03022: compiling command: IRESTORE
    RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources

    RMAN-03013: command type: IRESTORE
    RMAN-06172: not connected to recovery catalog database
    RMAN>
    Now without the catalog database how can I restore the control files and the database from the RMAN backup?
    I think the old RMAN metadata was stored in catalog database.
    Any suggestion please?
    regards

    Sorry I wrongly said that I do not have the DBID, I have DBID but I have controlfile backup as RMAN backupset, not in Binary. So even if I set DBID, RMAN asks for the catalog database, which is not available.

  • Taking rman backup from a different server

    HI Al,
    Is it possible for us run the rman backup from a different server other than the server on which database exist .
    For Ex :
    Our database is on server X
    But , I want to schedulde the archive backup from the server Y .
    How can we do this and is it possible ...

    Yes, as long the RMAN executable is compatible to the target database, on metalink:

  • Restoring RMAN backup on a different server

    Hi oracle gurus
    i have following scenario
    i have a compressed backup set of a database
    i want to restore that rman backup on to a different server.
    both the server have same version of oracle.and both the server are of 32 bit.
    please reply if any more info is required.

    RESTORE AND RECOVERY PROCEDURE OF PRODUCTION DATABASE BACKUP ON TEST SERVERS
    As part of disaster recovery exercise or to test the validity of a RMAN backup, a full restore and recovery of databases can be performed on scratch or test servers utilising the production RMAN backups which have been restored from the tape backups on these test or scratch servers.
    This note will illustrate the above procedure by detailing the steps required to restore the backup of a production database (prod1) on a test server linux01 .
    The following assumptions are made in this note:
    The RMAN backups have been restored from tape backups to the same backup location on the test server as the production server where the backup was originally taken
    The identical directory structure as is present on production has been created on the test server. This will apply to not only the location of the database files (data, control files, redo log files), but also to the bdump,cdump, udump and adump locations.
    Controlfile autobackup has been enabled. This is important.
    Overview
    Restore the spfile from the autobackup
    Restore the controlfile from the autobackup
    Restore the data files
    Recover by applying archived redo log files
    Open the database with resetlogs
    Restore the SPFILE
    [oracle@linux01 prod1]$ rman target /

    3> restore spfile from autobackup;
    4> }
    RMAN> shutdown immediate;
    Restore the Control File
    In this case, the instance is now being started with the restored spfile. We can create a pfile as well from this spfile is so required.

    RMAN> alter database mount;
    database mounted
    released channel: ORA_DISK_1
    Restore the database
    RMAN> restore database;
    Recover the database
    The recovery will fail at a point where it cannot restore any more archived redo log files.
    In this case the last archived log file which has been backed up is sequence 613.
    This information can be obtained by issuing a LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG ALL command.
    So RMAN will fail when it tries to apply sequence 614 ….
