FINANTIAL DOCUMENTS MISSING --- ORACLE LOGS FULL

Question

Hi Experts,
9 documents are missing and when they were saved the system showed the message "update has been stopped". This was because of the Oracle LOGS (full).
When Oracle problem was solved the documents were not found in SM13 to recovered.
Any clue?
On the other hand If a have finantial documents in QAS how can I put it on PRD?
Regards.

Hi,
Schedule your backups according to the full backup time.
Do a test of full backup and fine the time that it takes to complete the full backup. You can include "plus archivelog" if you want your archive logs to be backed up along with the full backup. This is most preferred as this makes restoration easy too.
If your full backup takes, say, 4 hrs to complete and if you schedule your full backup at 00 00 hrs on your scheduler, then schedule the archive backups after 04 00 hrs. This will solve your problems with missing archive backups.
>> "But from RMAN specialist I heard that this may cause problems with full backup. During full backup also archive logs are backed up (at the start and end) so there might be a problem with accessing the file that is used by another process. And this may cause problem with full backup - which we want to avoid especially."
This will throw out errors if your input to full backup consists "delete input" for your archived logs, else the process will not have any problem and succeed.
Also when one or more of backups run concurrently, "ORA-00230: operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable" error may occur but this is rare case.
Thank you!!
