Hide recovery catalog password in script

hello all,
i wanted to find out what are all the options the community uses when it comes to hiding password for the recovery catalog owner?? obviously when backing up other DB in our environment we use the recovery catalog and connect to it using user/password@recovery_catalog in our script. so if someone have access to read our script can find out the password for the recovery catalog owner. I wanted to see what dose rest of the community dose to hide the recovery catalog password?

What's the db version that we are discussing here? If its 11g, you can create the virtual catalog owners on top of the catalog and use that to manage your db. Other than that, you may want to store the password in the wallet at the client side and use it without hard-coding it .

  • Registering recovery catalog in Enterprise Manager

    Hi,
    I created recovery catalog database successfully using RMAN of 10g R2 on command prompt. Every thing seems working fine on RMAN but when I connect to target database using EM and click the recovery catalog link, it does not show me the configured recovery catalog. When I try to configure the catalog, it gives me the error message "Bad Packet". I dont what the problem is. Can any one help me with this?

    Hi,
    I am using winXP and using EM DB of Oracle 10g. I used RMAN on command prompt and created recovery catalog by creating a recovery catalog user and assigning a catalog user to it. I have also registered target database with recovery catalog. Now all this is working on command prompt using RMAN utility. Both target and recovery are on one computer. Now when I try to see recovery catalog in EM DB, its says no recovery catalog has been configured and when I try to configure recovery catalog, following error message keeps coming
    Validation Error
    Examine and correct the following errors, then retry the operation:
    Error - java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Bad packet type
    *Host--------- shahnawaz 
    * Port---------5500
    * SID-----------qasimdb
    * Recovery Catalog Username-----zee
    * Recovery Catalog Password------zee
    I hope my question is quite clear. If you need more info. just let me know please. I will appreciate.

  • Using scheduler to directly execute rman script stored in recovery catalog

    Hi everyone, I usually automate my rman backups using either cron or dbms_scheduler to call my rman scripts stored in a NIX sh file.  Everything works fine but does anyone know how/if it's possible to call an rman script stored in the recovery catalog. Lets say I create a script in the catalog:
    RMAN> create script showall
    comment 'just an example for demonstration'
    SHOW ALL;
    Can I use dbms_scheduler to call that script directly? If so how and if not then how can I schedule this or any catalog stored script stored in the rman catalog.  Searched all over the place but everything seems to point to having to leave Oracle to call either a .sh or .bat file.
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hi Greg, think you are definately on the right track mate.  Based on what you put I found this at:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/12c/scheduler-enhancements-12cr1.php
    It has the entire rman script in the pl/sql block but going to see if I can modify what's on that page and use what you put so instead of executing the entire script it will run something like:
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB(
    job_name => 'RMAN_SHOW_ALL',
    job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
    job_action => 'RMAN TARGET / CATALOG rman/password@ your_cat run {execute script showall;}'
    END;
    Or something similar with times etc for execution if possible as the mechanics are the same. Believe though that using the job_action parameter will be the answer and allow me to automate my daily etc backups at night.
    Will let you know once it's done and mark as correct answer.

    I have these files sent over to the development server on Wednesday, RMANbackup (log), backupset and the controlfile:

    I run the RMAN Duplicate and the database gets created with no problems!
    The question is: If I wait unit Thursday, to run the duplicate script, I get the traditional RMAN errors: RMAN-03002, RMAN-03015, RMAN-06026, RMAN-06023:

    Is this because of the 'SYSDATE-2' in the RMAN runlist? Does RMAN connect back to the target and it does not find the logs, because they've been deleted, it aborts the duplicate? I've shipped over the backupset and controlfile of the scn I'm using in the duplicate runlist all is there? If I'm trying to cleanup the archive area, would'nt 'delete expired archivelog all' in my runlist, be better than using the 'SYSDATE-2'?
    Or is it because of this database parameter:
    control_file_record_keep_time= 7, should I set this to say 14?
    Is it one of these RMAN configurations:
    Retention Policy to Redundancy 1, should I set this to say 7?
    Datafile Backup Copies for Device Type Disk to 1, to say 3, this takes up disk space which is precious
    Archivelog Backup Copies for Device Type Disk to 1, to say 3, this takes up disk space too
    Archive deletion policy to none change this to the other option?
    I've tested this a few times now, and always fails if the dupicate is not done the next day.
    If I have to create a development database on a Friday from Tuesday's copy FROM TAPE, I will get the error, because the files are no longer on disk.
    What can I do to ensure that I can create an RMAN duplicate any day of the week from Tuesday to Sunday?
    Look forward to your answer.
    Please let me know if I left any details out that you may need.
    Sincerely,
    Elizabeth Burns

  • Config recovery catalog database

    dear all.
    i had read several documents about "create recovery catalog", but all of that start with statement
    CREATE TABLESPACE
    ...and continue with CREATE USER, etc.
    I want to create a NEW database for recovery catalog, this database what characteristics must to have ?? Anyone have a link or document where explain me how to create a database (only i need database creation) for recovery catalog.???
    thanks
    The version is ORacle 10gr2

    hi,
    the recovery catalog is just a normal database with a schema called rman or whatever you choose.
    it should ideally be on a separate server to your target database. The RMAN database as with any other database should have multiplexed control files and redo files.

    -- Create tablepsace to hold repository
    CREATE TABLESPACE "RMAN"

  • Switching RMAN from Recovery Catalog DB to target db controlfile

    I have a doubt.
    Is it possible to make RMAN to use controlfile, from using Recovery Catalog(RC) DB ?
    The scenario is like this:
    I have a target db and a RC db. The RMAN presently uses RC db for backup and recovery.
    Due to some reasons, I want the RMAN to use target db controlfile, instead of RC.
    Is there anyway to perform this?
    If yes, I need the RMAN to understand and use backup sets, which are taken before switching to controlfile based backup (That is, controlfile should understand backup sets, which have backed-up using RC )
    Is there a way to perform these tasks?

    Hi,
    The rman backup information in the controlfile has a limitation due to space constraints in the controlfile.
    Oracle uses the parameter "control_file_record_keep_time" which defaults to 7 days to purge rman backup information from the controlfile. (So if you run rman backups the backup information in the controlfile will be automaticly purged.)
    If you run rman using a catalog the controlfile will synchronize new informaton to the catalog at the start of every backup but it won't actively purge information from the catalog. So the catalog (next to other features) has the ability to store information longer than the controlfile. (Delete commands will be needed to purge information from the catalog.)
    Due to some reasons, I want the RMAN to use target db controlfile, instead of RC.
    Is there anyway to perform this?Just skip the connect to the catalog in your script.
    If yes, I need the RMAN to understand and use backup sets, which are taken before switching to controlfile based backup > (That is, controlfile should understand backup sets, which have backed-up using RC )This is not easy to answer, your restore might work if the backup information is still available in the controlfile (younger than control_file_record_keep_time). Success is not related to the fact the backup was taken with the controlfile and RC at the same time.
    Regards,
    Tycho

  • "specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog"

    I would like to know about this message.
    I Validated my backup and archivelogs yesterday.
    Today when I tried to do - CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
    I gave me the following error -
    RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
    released channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
    released channel: ORA_DISK_1
    allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
    channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=291 device type=DISK
    specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog
    when I tried to list all the archivelogs then also I am getting this message -
    RMAN> list archivelog all;
    specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog
    I have retention policy of 15 Days.
    Waiting for your inputs.

    Thanks Werner..This means that it is just a message.
    One more question related to Archive Log backups -
    traditionally DBAs used to take backup of an Archivelog by spupplying "alter system archive log current" before taking the backup. somewhat like -
    run
    allocate channel t1 device type 'sbt_tape' PARMS="ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/oracle/TESTDB/tdpo.opt)";
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup archivelog all delete input;
    release channel t1;
    But, since RMAN automatically archives CURRENT redo log at the start of the archivelog backup, do we REALLY need to pass sql 'alter system archive log current'; before starting the archivelog backup in the script?
    RMAN> backup archivelog all;
    Starting backup at 11-MAR-10
    current log archived ===========> RMAN automatically archived the CURRENT redo log
    released channel: ORA_DISK_1
    allocated channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1
    related question to this is - Since it generates one archived log everytime it takes the archived log backup, this backup may get hung if the archived destination is 100% full. Is there any way we can take the archive log backup without generating an extra archived log before the start of the backup?
    Thanks,
    Roopesh

  • Query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database

    Hi,
    How to get the recovery catalog database name from the registered target database?
    i dont know my recovery catalog database for my target database.
    I know we can use the query
    select * from rc_database;
    from recovery catalog database to know all the registered database with the recovery catalog but I want to know is there any way or query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database to which the target database is registered
    With Regards
    Boobathi P

    You can check the backup scripts which you use to backup your target database to get the catalog database name.
    And check the corresponding connect string in TNSNAMES.ORA file or tnsping to get the server details of the catalog database.

  • Installing recovery catalog!!

    hello,
    can anybody tell that how to install recovery
    catalog on oracle8i?

    Hi,
    Here is the procedure for creating RMAN catalog:
    Installing RMAN Catalog:
    Install the recovery catalog schema in a different database (say RCAT) from the target database you will be backing up.
    Assume the following for the examples below:
    User SYS with password CHANGE_ON_INSTALL has SYSDBA privileges on the recovery catalog database RCAT.
    There is a tablespace called CATTBS on the recovery catalog database RCAT that stores the recovery catalog.
    There is a tablespace called TEMP in the recovery catalog database.
    To set up the recovery catalog schema:
    Start SQL*Plus and then connect with administrator privileges to the database containing the recovery catalog (RCAT). For example, enter:
    SQL> CONNECT sys/change_on_install@rcat
    Create a log file that you can use to check for errors. For example, enter:
    SQL> SPOOL create_rman.log
    Create a user and schema for the recovery catalog. For example, enter:
    SQL> CREATE USER rman IDENTIFIED BY rman
    2> TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
    3> DEFAULT TABLESPACE cattbs
    4> QUOTA UNLIMITED ON cattbs;
    Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the schema owner. This role provides the user with privileges to maintain and query the recovery catalog.
    SQL> GRANT recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;
    Grant other desired privileges to the RMAN user.
    SQL> GRANT connect, resource TO rman;
    Host out to the operating system to check the create_rman.log file for any errors before continuing. For example, a UNIX user can issue:
    SQL> host
    % vi create_rman.log
    To create the recovery catalog:
    Connect to the database that will contain the catalog as the catalog owner. For example, from the operating system command line enter:
    % rman catalog rman/rman@rcat
    You can also connect from the RMAN prompt:
    % rman
    RMAN> connect catalog rman/rman@rcat
    Issue the create catalog command to create the catalog, specifying the CATTBS tablespace:
    RMAN> create catalog tablespace cattbs;
    Note that the creation of the catalog can take several minutes.
    Host out to the operating system to check the create_rman.log file for any errors before continuing. For example, a UNIX user can issue:
    RMAN> host;
    % vi create_rman.log
    Optionally, query the recovery catalog to see which tables were created:
    SQL> SELECT table_name FROM user_tables;
    Note: Database name, SYS password, tablespace names are for examples only. You can name change them.
    You all set!!!! Good luck.

  • From no recovery catalog to recovery catalog

    sorry for the message to be posted 2nd time due to error in internet connection.
    Message was edited by:
    Nitesh Jain

    Hi Nitesh Jain!
    First thing to do ist to register all your database in the RC (RC = Recovery Catalog)
    test@localhost> rman target system/oracle@PRODDB1 catalog catowner/password@CATDB
    REGISTER DATABASE;
    exit;
    In this example PRODDB1 is your first production Database and CATDB ist your Catalog database. The REGISTER DATABASE Command registers your DB in the RC. Do this step for all your productiv DBs.
    Next thing to do is to resync your controlfile with your RC for all your productiv DBs.
    i]test@localhost> rman target system/oracle@PRODDB1 catalog catowner/password@CATDB
    RESYNC CATALOG;
    exit;
    RESYNC CATALOG takes all Information from your controlfiles and puts it into your RC.
    This should be all. You can use LIST BACKUP to check whether your Backups are registered in your RC or not. If you have to register Backups manually try the CATALOG START WITH '/path_to_your_backups/' Command. You can read about it in the Onlinedocumentation in the RMAN Reference.
    Hope this helps!

  • Backup controlfile recovery catalog

    Hello
    If I am using recovery catalog do I still need to backup controlfile with rman ?
    or, can I restore controlfile using recovery catalog so that I dont need to backup controlfile explicitly?

    How much effort, scripting, time and disk space does it cost to take controlfile backups ? In any case a Full Backup and/or SYSTEM Tablespace backup and/or ControlfileAutoBackupOn would cause controlfile backups.
    What if catalog database is unavailable or corrupted ?

  • Recovery of Recovery Catalog

    Hi.
    I am going to have to explain to our boss of bosses what I think we should do in order to "optimize" our Oracle databases and how to reach closer to HA.
    I will recommend three possible moves:
    Dataguard (probable, since its my uunderstanding this in much cheaper and easier to configure than the next point)
    RAC
    and RMAN
    I expect to have to explain more about all of these, but what does concern me is this (actually a worry of a DBA here who wants to stop us using rman for some reason):
    ALl information about backups, rman scripts etc, are stored in the REcovery Catalog repository. What are the common measures in backing up the recovery catalog, and what are the dangers when we have to do recovery on it?
    I am asking this, since I know the DBA here will tell us "I am concerned with recovery. If production database needs recovery, then we find the recovery catalog is lost, then we will have to do x2 recoveries. With our present system, we just recover from the back up disks"
    I dont share his opinions, I just need to know how I can best argue for the cause of RMAN!
    Thanks

    Dan A wrote:
    Yes but isnt that information erased after a default setting?A default setting of what? As stated, the control file is the primary repository of the information rman needs to track backups and effect recovories. Nothing need be erased and I'd think it would take some rather extraordinary measures to 'accidentally' erase the rman info from the control file.
    If your senior DBA is resisting the use of rman for backups, he is in some severe need of re-education. Actually, he is in some severe need of attitude readjustment. An attitude of resisting new knowledge, new features, new techniques will not serve his career well.
