For Patching full backup of application and database

Hi
we are using oracle11i (11.5.10.2) and database version 10.2.0.3 on windows 2003
every time of patching usually i take full backup of database and application (DATA_TOP,DB_TOP,APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP)
But can i take only DATA_TOP and APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP for patching (WithOut DB_TOP)?
Thanks
Regards
AUH

Hi,
But can i take only DATA_TOP and APPL_TOP,COMMON_TOP,ORA_TOP for patching (WithOut DB_TOP)?For the application patches, you do not need to take a backup of the database ORACLE_HOME. Backup this ORACLE_HOME only if you apply database patches (using opatch or OUI).

Best software for doing full backups to ext. hard disk to to be used to restore system

As a new PC owner I wanted to find out what the best software for doing full backups to external hard disk, to to be used to restore the system if primary primary disk crashes. Im aware that Windows, Acronis and Paragon all have software that doing varying degress of back and resore functions.

lasvideo,
My favorites are ShadowProtect to do an "image backup" of boot drive and Beyond Compare for backing up files for all other "data" arrays. ShadowProtect does not seem to have much market share compared with Ghost and Acronis, but I really love it.
What I like about ShadowProtect:
- Extremely fast (complete image backup for 61GB of files on my boot SSD RAID 0 array to a RAID data array takes less than 3 minutes)
- Can do image backups across a LAN; restores from boot CDROM and USB device
- Allows for backups from one controller and restore of OS on a different controller and/or RAID configuration (has HAL tools; Hardware ? Layer I think)
- Can "mount" an image backup as a drive letter and see (and copy) all directories, files, etc. that are contained in the archive
What I like about Beyond Compare:
- Can choose what to backup and what to ignore very easily (for example you can set it to ignore certain files or directory names to ignore and then save how you set things up as a "session")
- Only needs to copy over files that are new or have changed since your last backup
- Makes it very easy to selectively delete files from your backup

Am running Tiger 10.4.11; just got Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (regular OS disk, not an upgrade); when I install Snow Leopard, will it wipe everything? overwrite Tiger? Do I need to make backups of applications and files to reinstall after Sno Lprd loads? thx!

Hi Donald,
No it doesn't erase anything by default, it does what we used to call an Archive and Install feature, which can give you a new OS, yet preserve your files and settings if you have enough room on your HD...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
But it does it automatically unless you specifically erase the Disk, but will replace Tiger completely for the OS & several Apple Apps like Safari, Mail, etc, yet preserve your old settings for those!
If you think you may need Tiger to run any APPs that do not work in SL/10.6, then clone or backup first.
I would recomend 2 things before installing though...
Make sure you have enough RAM & HD space.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the new Mac OS X SL/10.6 Install Disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Fsmailserver: memory full. Close applications and ...

Hi,
I am using 4 e-mail accounts:
Three imap accounts for which i am syncing e-mail every 15 minutes
One Mail for Exchange account i am syncing google calendar with
After a while (sometimes already after a few hours, sometimes after a few days) i get the error message “fsmailserver: memory full. Close applications and try again”. This happens whenever new mail gets in and whenever i am sending a new e-mail.
This N8, however, has plenty of memory left! When i close all running applications via the task menu and i also close the e-mail application, then restart the e-mail application, the error message is still issued. It also doesn’t ring the normal new-email sound anymore, but gives two short error clicks.
Very annoying because now i am not even notified of new e-mail any more when this happens. So that makes the N8 very unreliable for e-mail, which is one of the main aspects of a smart phone anyway!
I can only fix the error by switching the N8 off and on again.... But after a while it will happen again!
Regards,
Jan

Hay Fnds,
Sorry for the delay in telling you all about how to make ur nokia phone work extremely fast.Here it goes:-
1)Uninstall any Email App which you have installed its a load on the processor
2)Messaging,Options,settings,other,memory in use E:mass memory
3)Install Cleaner...App available on mobile9.com.Try googleing it up.
4)Install Swiss Manager Pro...Availabe on mobile 9.com n when ever you r free go to the files option on top right hand side...open C Drive,System,Dmgr n temp n del all the files in this folder your C drive memory ll improve drastically.
5)Deleate your browser history frm time to time.
TC all the tricks r well tested on my n97 mini.

How can I do a FULL Backup to Oracle 8i Database?

Hi,
We are using a product that uses Oracle 8i and we are trying to perform a FULL Backup to the database. I am not an oracle person and not sure how to do this.
Please also inform me on how to perform a FULL Restor for the backed up database. I would really appreaciate it.
null

Before I can amply reply to your post, I need to know what tools you have.
What is your O.S.?
What do you want to backup to? (Tape Drive/Hard Disk)
What time frame requirements do you have?
Are you running in Archive Log Mode? <-- (in case you do not know, log in with svrmgrl, connect internal, run ARCHIVE LOG LIST; and tell me what is reported on the top line of output.)
Do you have requirements that the database must be Online at all times?
Are you using 3rd party Backup Software, if so, which one(s)?
I know these are a lot of questions, but it helps me help you. :)

Note on applying patches to the file system and database

Dear all,
I am new to Oracle E-business suite. Anyone in the house that can give a note (either a step by step or oracle metalink note) on how to apply patches to a file system or database.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Steps to apply an application patch:
- Stop all application services (keep the database and the database listener up and running)
- Download the patch from Metalink
- Copy the patch file to any directory (i.e. /u04/patches)
- As 'applmgr' do the following:
- Source the environment file
- $ cd /u04/patches
- Type 'unzip <patch_number>.zip'
- cd <patch_number>
- Type 'adpatch'
- When it prompts you to enter the patch driver, type 'u<patch_number>.drv'
Apply the patch on the database tier first then on the application tier.
Do not forget to 'Enable Maintenance Mode' from adadmin before applying the patch. Once you apply the patch successfully, 'Disable Maintenance Mode' from adadmin.
And, always follow the steps in the patch README file.
For database patches, follow the steps in the patch README file and apply the patch using opatch as oracle user.
For more details about applying patches, please refer to:
"Oracle Applications Maintenance Utilities" manual
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_14/current/html/docset.html

How to do following restore? Full backup takes long and transaction backup in the middle.Thanks!

One database starts to run full backup at 10am. Full backup finishes at 11:45 AM
transaction log backups every 30 minutes: 10:00am, 10:30am,11:00 am , 11:30 am and 12:00 PM
At 1:30 PM
I need to restore database back to 12:00PM.
So I should restore:
1) Full backup at 10:00 am + transaction log backup 10:30am+ transaction log backup 11:00 am +transaction log backup at 11:30 am + transaction log backup at 12:00 PM
or
2) Full backup at 10:00 am + transaction log backup at 12:00PM
Because full backup starts at 10:00 am and ends at 11:45 am, I am not sure 1) or 2) should I choose.
Please let me know which one is correct--1) or 2) .Thanks

alternatively you can make use of
RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM <BACKUP_DEVICE>
database backup has LSN number information in te backup header, and last LSN will help you to locate next log backup in
sequence to be restored.

Different full backup size of identical databases

Hello,
I am on Oracle 10GR2.
I have 1 database instance with size approximately 50GB. Today I created second instance with RMAN duplication process from the first instance. So now I have two similar DB instances with same size 50GB.
What is strange to me is size of FULL LEVEL0 backups of these databases.
Backup size of original database has approximately 22 GB, backup size of second (duplicated) instance has 7GB.
Can you explain me why? Or what should I do with original database to have same small backup size.
Executed RMAN command for backup is: BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
Thank you

select sum(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 GB from dba_segments;
This select gives me 6,79 GB in both instances.
I did not used UNTIL TIME for duplication.
RMAN settings is same for both instances and I don't use any compression
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default

Application and Database on the same server

I have a Java Application and a db2 database(SWDTEST) that reside on the same server. In the Application I want to connect to the database. What would I use to do this? When the application resides on a client machine I use the "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" driver and can get a connection. Code looks like:
try{
//load the driver class
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
//Define the data source for the driver
String wdURL = "jdbc:odbc:SWDTEST";
String username = "UNTEST";
String password = "PTEST";
wdConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(wdURL, username, password);
wdStatement = wdConnection.createStatement();
catch(SQLException e)
System.out.println( e.toString() );
But when I move the same application to the server and run it I get the following error message:
java.sql.SQLException: [IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1013N The database alias name or database name "SWDTEST" could not be found. SQLSTATE=42705
Do I need to set something on the server so that SWDTEST is a recognized database name or connect to it some other way?
Thanks in advance.

Does the server have ODBC installed on it? (Windows boxes will, unix will likely not.)
Do you have a ODBC driver installed on the the server. This has nothing to do with java.
Have you created a DSN on the server?

Incremental and Full backups using WBADMIN and Task Scheduler in Server 2008 R2

I'd like to create an automated rotating schedule of backups using wbadmin and task scheduler, which would backup Bare Metal Recovery; System State; Drive C: and D: to a Network Share in a pattern like this:
Monday - Incremental, overwrite last Monday's
Tuesday - Incremental, overwrite last Tuesday's
Wednesday - Incremental, overwrite last Wednesday's
Thursday - Incremental, overwrite last Thursday's
Friday - Incremental overwrite last Friday's
Saturday - Full, overwrite last Saturday's
I need to use the wbadmin commands within the Task Scheduler and do not know any of the required Syntax to make sure everything goes smoothly, I do not want to do this through the CMD.

I know each backup for the previous corresponding day will be replaced, how do you figure I wont be able to do incremental backups...
Because incremental backup is based on Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) feature and due to Windows Server 2008 R2 limitations (this limitation is resolved in Windows 8) only one version of backed up data can be stored in a shared folder. So the
result is that every time you back up some data on a shared folder, you actually creating a full backup of them.
is it not supported through task scheduler?
The Task Scheduler is only a feature that does the tasks that you have defined for it. Actually it runs the
wbadmin command that runs on an operating system with the mentioned limitation.
I know you can do Incremental backups through Windows Server Backup, but my limitation using that is I cant setup multiple backups.
Yes, you are right. Windows Server Backup feature in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 has not this functionality (although
ntbackup in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 had this functionality). So, the only workaround to this limitation is through using Task Scheduler feature with wbadmin command. For more information see the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/04/13/customizing-windows-server-backup-schedule.aspx
So are you saying that even though I want each backup to go to a different place on the Shared Folder that it will replace the previous backup anyways?
No and because of this I said in my previous post that with some modifications and additions you can do the scenario. For example, you back up to a shared folder with the name of Shared1 on Mondays. You also have been configured the backup feature to back
up data on another shared folder, named Shared2, on Wednesday. When you repeat the backup operation in Shared1, only the backed up data that resides on it will be affected, and the data on Shared2 remains intact.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any question or concern.

Hi R.Alikhani
Then do you know if wbadmin supports incremental backup in Windows 8? As you said the VSS issue is fixed in Win8. However, the wbadmin has less options then in windows server. I tried a bit but it seems it only supports full backup? ps, I use a network share
- will the incremental backup works if I define a ISCCI then? My remote backup PC is also running Win8.

Time machine full backup after disk and disk permissions repair

my macbook would not boot so i inserted the snow leopard DVD and did a disk repair and disk permissions repair, after that it booted perfectly but when it went to do a backup it did a full backup of 149GB , i am unsure why it has done this and would like to know how to stop it as i am trying to save space on my time capsule.
thank you in advance

I'm afraid you don't have much choice. You do have lot of space available, though.
Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
No pre-backup thinning needed: 165.92 GB requested (including padding), 507.60 GB available
The "deep traversal" means TM compared everything on your system to the backups, and estimates that about 138 GB is new/changed (it adds 20% for workspace on the TM disk - the "padding" in the message).
If there's about 138 GB on your system, see #D3 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for some common reasons for TM to do a new full backup.
If there's more, #D4 there has some common reasons for large backups.
If all you did was repair disk and permissions, neither should have resulted.
the reason i did a permission repair and disk repair while running from the install disk was because my laptop would not boot from the internal disk so i did both just to be safe.
That's fine; just do the Permissions Repair again, while running normally.

AIR application and database connectivity (using JAVA)

Hi
I am creating AIR application and I want to connect with the database using java database connectivity (JDBC).
Can any body give me the some suggestion on how to how to do that.
Please give me any reference for creating AIR application for database connectivity with mysql/access.
Thanks
Sameer

lots of serching on the google and found that For AIR applications either you use Webservices(JAVA/PHP/.Net) or you can use SQLLite.
Not found any method for direct connectivity with the database using JDBC.
If any one found direct connecivity withe database using JAVA then please reply.

Where is time machine backup of applications and library?

I have had regular time machine backups of my system for the past year. I have recently wiped my system and have done a fresh reinstall of OSX 10.8.
I now need to restore some applications and application settings but the Macintosh HD/Applications and Macintosh HD/Library only appear in the very first backup from a year ago. No other backup contains anything except for the "user" and "shared" folders.
Nothing on the iMac internal disk was excluded from Time Machine. Username and password are the same in the new install.
All my hair has fallen out and I am rolling around on the floor in agony.
Any ideas?

It's possible for those folders to be excluded without anything showing in the Time Machine preference pane.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine SkipSystemFiles
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste (command-V) into the Terminal window. Post the line(s) of output that appear below what you entered.

How to transfer an application and Database from Pre-Prod to Prod

Hi,
Could any please help by giving the method to transfer the Application and Dabase from Pre-Production to Production.
Thanks

Depends on what version you are on. If it is 11.1.2 then you can use LCM to transfer the atrifacts including data. in 11.1.1.X you can also use LCM but you would have to export and then import the data itself.
You could also use the migration wizard in EAS to migrate the artifacts and then export and import data.
Or you could go the file system route. First create the app and DB from EAS, Stop both the source and target apps and then do a file system copy to copy the artifacts.
I've not tried it, but if this is a BSO cube, you could possibly back it up through the backup utilities in EAS the restore it to the new server
