Finding relevant Archive log number

hi,
The setup is a oracle 10g database running on solaris 10 and its in archive log mode. this is a development setup
The archive log directory now contains archives from the data of creation of the database. All schemas containing data have been dropped and recreated by use of expdp 3-4 times so far for refreshing the data purposes, however there is no track of the date of refresh.
I am under the assumption that the archive logs prior to the recreation of the schemas are not going to be used.
is there any way to identify a archive log number, so that i can remove all the archive logs prior to this number.
Please share ur advice on this.

Hi,
I am under the assumption that the archive logs prior to the recreation of the schemas are not going to be used.
AFAIK no, there is no way. but you have one more option.
1. take database backup now and remove all the archive log before backup.

Taj

Finding the order of archive logs in RAC to NON-RAC manual cloning

Hi,
I am in the process of automating a RAC to NON-RAC clone using traditional method [ not using RMAN ].
Here are the steps:
On Source:
Record the sequence number and thread of the instance
put the database in begin backup mode
copy the files
disable the backup mode
record the sequence number and thread of the instance
prepare the order of the archive logs which will be needed for recovery ==> Here is where I need help
On Target:
Restore the backup
Issue recovery using the order of archive logs identified ==> Failing as order is not correct.
I am finding the archive logs based on FIRST_TIME# and preparing the order which is not correct. I think i should be using SCN but not sure what should be the criteria.
Could you please let me know on what basis we can find the order of the archive logs which will be asked during the recovery ?
Your quick response is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks
Suneel

Yes, When we execute recover database using backup controlfile until cancel, will prompt for the redo log sequences.
But as i mentioned before, I am trying script everything and cannot manually enter the sequence numbers required. I need to know the archives and thread it is going to ask [ in what order as well ] so that recovery command can be scripted in shell.
Please let me know if there is a away to find the order of archive logs which needs to be applied to recover [ if this is a NON-RAC, we can simply go with the sequence numbers but since it is a RAC, i should know the thread number as well ].
Thanks

Generate archive logs are not in sequence number?

On last friday... the latest archive log number was ARC00024.ARC. Tomorrow when I come backup, the archive logs ARC00001.ARC and ARC00002.ARC were being generated by oracle itself. I wondering the archive log sequence should be in sequence. What is happening?

khurram,
Its our production instance and havent issued resetlogs option but when listing the arvchives it shows in different sequence number...
and also while copying the archives by RMAN it doesnt copy in sequence

Shell script for archive log transfer

hi
I dont want to reinvent the wheel.
I am looking for shell script for log shipping to provide standby db.
What I want to do is, get the last applied archived log number from alert.log
Copy the files from archive destination according to this value.
Cheers

If you don't want to re-invent the wheel you use Dataguard, no scripts.
And your script should use the dictionary, instead of some bs method to read the alert.
v$archived_log has all information!
Also as far as I know, the documentation describes manual standby.
So apparently you not only don't want to reinvent the wheel, but you want the script on a silver plate on your doorstep!
Typical attitude of most DBAs here. Use OTN for a permanent vacation.

Using Log Miner to find reason for extremely large archive logs.

Hello everyone,
I have an Oracle 10g RAC database that sometimes generates extremely large number archive logs. The database is in ARCHIVELOG mode.
The usual volume of archive logs per day after compression is about 5GB, sometimes that spikes to 15GB and I cannot understand why.
I am looking at gathering statistics based on the inflated redo logs via LogMiner.
Looking at the structure of V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS - there are columns with promising names such as REDO_LENGTH, REDO_OFFSET, UNDO_LENGTH, UNDO_OFFSET.
However all these columns are deprecated. http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_1154.htm
Is there a way of identifying operations that generate large redo logs?
The documentation for LogMiner has some example user sessions but none show how to generate statistics on the connection between redo logs and sql statements.
I see nothing that can help me in the following views:
V$LOGMNR_DICTIONARY, V$LOGMNR_DICTIONARY_LOAD, V$LOGMNR_LATCH,V$LOGMNR_LOGS, V$LOGMNR_PARAMETERS, V$LOGMNR_PROCESS, V$LOGMNR_SESSION
These views plus the following columns sound somewhat promising:
V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS -> RBABLK, RBABYTE, UBAFIL, UBABLK, UBAREC, UBASQN, ABS_FILE#, REL_FILE#, DATA_BLK#, DATA_OBJ#, DATA_OBJD#
V$LOGMNR_STATS -> NAME , VALUE
However I found nothing in the documentation on how to use them. (esp. not in Database reference, Database Utilities - the main documents I looked into). What should I read? Any strategies or ideas?
Kind regards:
al_shopov

To find sessions generating lots of redo, you can use either of the following
methods. Both methods examine the amount of undo generated. When a transaction
generates undo, it will automatically generate redo as well.
The methods are:
1) Query V$SESS_IO. This view contains the column BLOCK_CHANGES which indicates
how much blocks have been changed by the session. High values indicate a
session generating lots of redo.
The query you can use is:
SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.username, s.program,
i.block_changes
FROM v$session s, v$sess_io i
WHERE s.sid = i.sid
ORDER BY 5 desc, 1, 2, 3, 4;
Run the query multiple times and examine the delta between each occurrence
of BLOCK_CHANGES. Large deltas indicate high redo generation by the session.
2) Query V$TRANSACTION. This view contains information about the amount of
undo blocks and undo records accessed by the transaction (as found in the
USED_UBLK and USED_UREC columns).
The query you can use is:
SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.username, s.program,
t.used_ublk, t.used_urec
FROM v$session s, v$transaction t
WHERE s.taddr = t.addr
ORDER BY 5 desc, 6 desc, 1, 2, 3, 4;
Run the query multiple times and examine the delta between each occurrence
of USED_UBLK and USED_UREC. Large deltas indicate high redo generation by
the session.

How to find out who deleted the archive logs

How to find out which archived logs needed to recover a hot backup?

I'm using Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0).
I have backed up a database when it is online using the following backup script through RMAN
connect target /
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup
incremental level=0 cumulative
filesperset 4
format '/san/u01/app/backup/DB_%d_%T_%u_%c.rman'
database
}The backup set contains the backup of datafiles and control file. I have copied all the backup pieces to another server where I will restore/recover the database but I don't know which archived logs are needed in order to restore/recover the database to a consistent state.
I have not deleted any archived log.
How can I find out which archived logs are needed to recover the hot backup to a consistent state? Can this be done by querying V$BACKUP_DATAFILE and V$ARCHIVED_LOG? If yes, which columns should I query?
Thanks for any help.

A few ways :
1a. Get the timestamps when the BACKUP ... DATABASE began and ended.
1b. Review the alert.log of the database that was backed up.
1c. From the alert.log identify the first Archivelog that was generated after the begin of the BACKUP ... DATABASE and the first Archivelog that was generated after the end of the BACKUP .. DATABASE.
1d. These (from 1c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with. You can choose to apply additional Archivelogs that were generated at the source database to contininue to "roll-forward"
2a. Do a RESTORE DATABASE alone.
2b. Query V$DATAFILE on the restored database for the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME. Also query for the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME.
2c. Go back to the source database and query V$ARCHIVED_LOG (FIRST_CHANGE#) to identify the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above. Also query for the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above.
2d. These (from 2c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with.
(why do you need to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the source ? If RESTORE a controlfile backup that was generated after the first Archivelog switch after the end of the BACKUP ... DATABASE, you would be able to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the restored database as well. That is why it is important to force an archivelog (log switch) after a BACKUP ... DATABASE and then backup the controlfile after this -- i.e. last. That way, the controlfile that you have restored to the new server has all the information needed).
3. RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW in RMAN if you have the archivelogs and subsequent controlfile in the backup itself !

How to find a session with high archive logs

Any query, to see which active session is generating high archive logs in oracle 8i &9i and high rbs usage

Though, there is no direct option or view where you can get this information.
However, you may can find out the session which are generating lot of redo and undo. I guess, when the session has lot of redo & undo, definately, it contribution towards archive would be more.
You can query v$sess_io and v$session to findout the the session which is generating lot of redo. i.e. lot of block changes occuring.
SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.username, s.program, i.block_changes
FROM v$session s, v$sess_io i
WHERE s.sid = i.sid
ORDER BY 5 desc
Also query v$transaction and v$session to find out the session that is generating lot of undo information.

Unable to find archived log

Hi
I am restoring a hot backup taken through RMAN using following commands:

They way you are trying to recover will try to recover up to the last know SCN. Try to do a point in time recover up to a few minutes before the database was shutdown or crashed.
Try something like this
run{
set until time "to_date('2013-09-11:00:00:00', 'yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss')";
restore spfile from autobackup;
restore controlfile from autobackup;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
restore database;
RECOVER DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

Database large Number of archive log

Oracle 11g
window server 2008 R2
My database working fine, from last week i have noticed that database generating large no of archive log.
Database size is 30GB
Only one table space is 16GB , other tablespaces not more 2 GB.
I can not figured out why it generating large no. of archive log. can any one help me to figure out.
previous week i have only did these changes
Drop index
create index
create new table from existing table.
nothing else i did.

Hi
As you say workload increases. See when the number of log switches goes high and take an AWR report or statspack report. Check the DML operations. Use below query to chk the log switches

How to find thead 2 archive log when i recover from 2-node RAC to single

ORA-00279: change 12100176131169 generated at needed for thread 2
==> Oracle didn't suggest thread 2 archive log file/
How can I find ?

You have to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG for THREAD# 2 on the source database to find the first archivelog where 12100176131169 is less than the NEXT_CHANGE#
select SEQEUNCE# from V$ARCHIVED_LOG where THREAD#=2 and 12100176131169 between FIRST_CHANGE# and NEXT_CHANGE#
Once you provide the Sequence# and file name for the first Thread 2 file, the RECOVER command will automatically generate the expected file name for the subsequent archivelogs (of both threads).

Have i missed any archive log in Standby setup?, im unable to find

Dear All,
I setup standby in Oracle10g.
In my Primary the archive log list shows as
primary>archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination D:\STANDBY\Archive
Oldest online log sequence 30
Next log sequence to archive 32
Current log sequence 32
In my standby the archive log list shows as
standby>archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination C:\PRIMARY\Archive
Oldest online log sequence 31
Next log sequence to archive 0
Current log sequence 32
Have i missed any archive log file?
But in my archive location of the primary i found the archive files from ARC00002_0633898426.001,ARC00003_0633898426.001 to ARC00031_0633898426.001
and in my archive location of the standby i found the archive files from
ARC00002_0633898426.001,ARC00003_0633898426.001 to ARC00031_0633898426.001 and one more extra archive file ARC00032_0633898426.001.
I am getting confused from where i got the archive file ARC00032_0633898426.001 in standby only which is not in primary?
Please clarify this...

Please let me know abiut the above issue, i will be thankful to you.

Archive Logs NOT APPLIED but transferred

Hi Gurus,
I have configured Primary & Standby databases in same Oracle Home. OS version is OEL 5. Database version is 10.2.0.1. I could get the archive logs in the standby site but they are not getting applied in the standby database. I don't have OLAP installed in my database version. Would this create this issue? However I attached my primary alert log details below for your reference:

Mahir: Yes I have my 4 standby redo logs!
I created the standby manually without using RMAN.
Hemant: if it asks for even first thread, then obviously it shows nothing is applied on Standby. By the way so it is not called a 'GAP', I think..!
Thanks.
