From control file to RMAN catalogue

Dear buddies,
Right now my RMAN backup runs using the control file. How could I change it to catalogue?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

If you already created the catalog then register the database in that catalog as
RMAN> register database ;
If you have not created the catalog then create the catalog and register your database below link help you

Sequence from Control file

Can I call sequence from Control file( Sql Loader)
Plz help.

As an option to what Warren suggested, you can also specify an actual sequence name in the control file itself.
LOAD DATA
INFILE datafile.dat
APPEND
INTO TABLE <table_name>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'

Control file and Rman

Hello,
I have 2 disctinct servers.
oracle 10gr2 in each one with the same linux red hat 4 version.
the second server is just to TEST if the backup create with the first one, works fine.
So the install in each server is exactlly the same...
same files, same path etc.
Scenario:
1 from srv one I execute a full backup with RMAN
2 I copy the file in server 2
3 I move a datafile in order to create an error
4 I test : restore database in server 2...
I get the followin error:
RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 02/24/2008 21:15:37
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 8 found to restore
and this command return no result:
RMAN> list backupset;
RMAN>
the file created with server 1 have been copied in the declared path into server 2...
I have execute a crosscheck backup too
RMAN> crosscheck backup;
using channel ORA_DISK_1
RMAN>
Must I copy the controle file too? in this case will I have an inconsistent error?
Thanks to help
Cheers

You must have
controlfile autobackup on
(If you don't change the format it will be in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, and the format will be c-<database id>-<yyyymmdd>_<piece>.ctl).
You must copy that file, as it has information about your most recent backup, the backup you just made.

No autobackup of control file for rman

This is what I used for a backup of database. I do not have controlfile autobackup set, I back it up using rman commands. Backup is made to a third party media manager.
I tried to restore and it cannot startup mount the database, it can only nomount the database. I am assumming this is because it cannot find the control file.
Is it possible to recover the controlfile if autobackup not on ? I did make a backup current controlfile with the rman script below .. Is it possible to get back the database at all ..

Problems creating control file in RMAN duplicate database

There is so much detail involved in this operation that I don't know what might be useful, so I'll start simple. I'm attempting to clone a database on the same host using RMAN "duplicate database". I finally got all the setup done, the OS authentication hurdles hurdled, etc. and entered the command:
duplicate target database to COPYCH2M until time "to_date('March 15 2012 12:00:00', 'Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
The first time I got:
ORA-19504: failed to create file "/u01/app/oracle/oradata/COPYCH2M/control01.ctl"
ORA-27040: file create error, unable to create file
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
There was nothing in the Oracle instructions about manually creating the directory, but I did so, thinking that might be the problem. And it created the control files! But then I got the following:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 05/21/2012 15:59:25

ORA-00202: control file: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/COPYCH2M/control01.ctl'
Sounds straightforward, if frustrating, right? Apparently you can't duplicate a database that's not in the exact same version. But:
1) The backuppiece we got the control file from was from last November.
2) The version of Oracle has not been updated since that time.
How can a file created by this version be incompatible with this version? Where is it even getting 11.1?
Thanks, I'm hoping this is easy but I can post more info if needed.

As for your controlfiles, make sure the compatible parameter is set the same on both the source and the target unless you are using the default (11.1.0.1 for you, and you aren't)
Keep going, you'll get there. RMAN duplicate is a great feature.
Good luck.

Which control file does RMAN use?

On March 1, full backup along with control file was taken
On March 3, full backup along with control file was taken
On March 5, there is a media failure (some datafile is corrupt, but control file is intact).
So, RMAN restores March 3 full back up, and applies archived logs. But my question is: which controlfile does it use? The one on march 3? The one on march 5? Or Both?

The first choice is always the actual,current controlfile. Backed up controlfiles are only used, when all current controlfiles are lost.

after browsing google I infer that we lost control file.
I dont have it backup
how do i recover it
Thanks in advance.

Do you have backup control file or auto backup control file by rman or not.
If you have backup, try recover controlfile from rman backup( you should know DBID).
Anyway If you don't have rman backup. so recreate controlfile (if you have backup control file to trace, you can use it):
1. Take a full backup of the database, including all datafiles and redo
log files.
2. Connect / as sysdba or as sys user and do a STARTUP NOMOUNT.
3. Issue the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement.

5. Open the database.

Hello;
So this is what I would do :
Backup Primary ( change to your directory as need )
RMAN RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
}Move the backup and duplicate like this :
rman target sys/password@PRIMARY auxiliary /
RMAN> run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
}For complete details of this method see :

Creating a control file copy with ASM

Configuration is Oracle 10.2, RAC, and ASM (Automatic Storage Management). I would like to create a second copy of the control file.
If this wasn't ASM, I could just bring down the database, copy the control file using an operating system command, modify the pfile to reference both the original and new copy, and then restart the database.
Since this is ASM, I cannot use an operating system command to copy the control file, and RMAN "BACKUP" (which is the only way I know to make a copy of the control file) will only work if the database is up. When I "restore" the control file using RMAN and change the pfile to reference both control files I get a message like the following when attempting to start the database:
ORA-00214: control file '+ASMGROUP1/db1/controlfile/current.271.566646845'
version 2241 inconsistent with file
'+ASMGROUP1/db1/controlfile/current.268.566661765' version 2236
Soooooo, how do I make and implement a second copy of a control file using ASM.
Thanks

Hi.
This is not testet so presede with caution as it is meant as a discussion ;-)
As I see it there is no logical way to extend the instance by adding a controlfile.
The following procedure might work (has not been tested)
I think you have to make a controlfilebackup with the database closed in normal mode using RMAN.
Further you might be able to edit the pfile with create pfile from spfile and further create spfile from pfile. Extending the controlfile parameter to represent number and names of controlfile needed.
With this done, the database is closed normal with a controlfile copy presented somewhere on the filesystem.
startup mount;
restore controlfile from '<backup controlfile location>'
alter database mount;
alter database open;
Any thoughts about this procedure guys?

O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
I am able to restore a control file using [RMAN> restore controlfile to '....' ] and then mount the database without problems one the CF restore has taken place, it is just when I attempt to create control file using the able commands that I get the preceding error.
As this control file statement that is attepting to create a control file has never had any information about datafiles is this why I am seeing the error?
Have checked metalink & web but yet to find a reason why this is occuring. Please advise.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
You deletd all the data files that is the issue. So it is complaining that it can not find system tablespace datafile. If you just wanted to recreate the controlfile then just delete control file. Why did you delete data files.
Regards
Generetaed control trace flle is used to re-create the control file. This not not a way to create/restore data files. They should exist for control file to be created.

From control file to RMAN catalogue
