Hotbackup steps...........

hi
see my backup steps and analyze it
1.     put the tablespace BEGIN backup mode as follows:
alter tablespace tablespace_name begin backup;
2.     Backup all the database files associated with the tablespace
3.     Set the tablespace in END backup mode
alter tablespace tablespace_name end backup;
repeat for each tablespace
4 execute the ARCHIVE LOG LIST command to get the current log sequence number. This is the last logfile you will keep as part of the hot backup. Next, force a log switch so Oracle will archive the current redo log file. :
Alter system switch logfile;
[b]5.     Backup all the archived log files, beginning with the log sequence in step 1 to the log sequence in step 4.
6.     Backup the control file using the following command:
alter database backup controlfile to 'file_name';
i use these steps for backup of my database
is it OK
or
any drawback in these steps
plz give comments

Hi kuljeet pal singh
They correct! but you have to realize as well the sequence number before to begin to backup the first tablespace in order to know what are the archives that you have to store to recover the database in case of failures with tha set of backups. ( In the text is implicit more not explicit at 100% )

  • Homogeneous System Copy Steps Needed.

    Hi! Gurus,
    Can you please help me by <b>providing details (step by step)procedure for Homogeneous System Copy for R/3 4.7 (Kernel 620 NU) on Windows /Oracle. </b>
    I have to migrate my system from existing Server to a new Server.
    Thanks and regards,

    Hello Pratip,
    I consider that at u r side also there r 2 systems....source and destination...
    also Source and destination both are on the same O.S. & D.B level..this is the primary condition for that.............
    Here i will show u the steps using Online bakcup
    (1) Take a online backup of source along with the Archies generated during Hotbackup
    (2) create control file from source system and edit it to use for the new sysem.....For setting the SID and Archivlogmode...
    (3)copy entier online baclup to the same destination drives.....also archive to the destination server
    (4) replace the older controlfile with the newer generated file....mount and execute that controlfile ( e.g. abc.sql)
    (5)then start the database it will ask for archives....supply copied archive path to it...recover database using backup controlfile
    (6)start ur database with resetlog options...
    (7)then execute following sdcripts
    create user 'OPS$<Hostname>\<SID>ADM' default tablespace SYSTEM
    temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
    grant connect,resource,sapdba to 'OPS$<HOSTNAME>\SAP<SID>ADM';
    create user 'OPS$<Hostname>\SAPSERVICE<SID>' default tablespace SYSTEM
    temporary tablespace psaptemp identified externally;
    grant connect,resource,sapdba to 'OPS$<hostname>\SAPSERVICE<SID>';
    create table SAPUSER
    (USERID VARCHAR2(256),PASSWD VARCHAR2(256)); //*first check for this table and delete this table and all entry first and then apply the next command for user creation OR you can say delete this table entirely and create newer one*//
    insert into SAPUSER values ('SAPMIP','micro123');//*please supply 'SAPPAP' and its coresponding password from PRDserver Please see the last screenshots for that*//
    (8)also set, DBS_ORA_SCHEMA=SAP<SID> (sid of u r source system not u r destiantion).
    Its completed...the job...
    it takes hardly two hours if u r db is of size 80GB....
    If u find it out as usefull then please give reward point..

    all 3 instances reside on single server we use netapp snapshot backup what it will do is it will take all db's snapshot in same time (hotbackup).The snapshots are NOT instantaneous!
    If they were actually frozen in time, the DB would be consistent & open.
    The snapshot must be handled as any other online (hot) backup.
    ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
    alter database begin backup
    -- take hot backup
    alter database end backup
    ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
    Restore backed up files, then apply all redos inclusive to steps above

  • Step-by-Step Help Needed for Deploying Some Adobe Software

    We are a K-12 educational institution.  I am currently working at setting up a computer lab with about 16 MacMini computers.
    I'm VERY new to the realm of servers, deployment, using terminal, etc.
    I've done lots of research to make it to where I am, but just can't wrap my head around what needs done next with the Adobe products.
    I am using Server OSX (v3) and DeployStudio (v 1.6.3) to try and manage the computers.
    Both my server and clients are running Mavericks 10.9.
    I deployed my core images successfully and would like to now send Adobe products only the computers I choose since I have limited licenses.
    We have volume licenses of Adobe InDesign CS6 and Photoshop Elements 12 that we would like to deploy.
    I have been referencing the following sites, but just can't seem to wrap my head around the EXACT steps that need to be taken.

    For Adobe InDesign CS6 - I've done the following:
    Created an "Installation Package" using Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition (AAMEE v6.2.112.0) using the following instructions.
    http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/creativesuite/pdfs/Ad obeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEditionDeploymentGuide_v_3_1.pdf
    If I log into the client computer, put the package ON the client computer, and run it...it takes me through the install and works wonderfully.It's not automated like I wanted/thought I set it up to do. I have to click through the steps of the installer.
    If I try to deploy it using the "Package install" Workflow in DeployStudio...it loads it during the workflow, then skips through it, acts like it installed it, but it isn't actually installed.Is there a setting that I need to possibly change somewhere?
    For Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 - I'm a bit lost and mostly just have questions:
    I know that I can't use AAMEE and need to use APTEE (Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition).
    How do I deploy the software? Create my own Package using PackageMaker?
    Which computer do I run APTEE on? All the instructions I can find just say, "do this" - but don't specify where.
    Do I have to open terminal and run the commands on each client computer AFTER installing PE12?
    OR
    Do I run the commands BEFORE deployment on my package stored on my server that is ready for deployment?
    It really comes down to me just not 100% understanding how APTEE works.
    I hope that pertrays my dilemma. I've tried to explain best I can.  If you have any questions - let me know!
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can give!

    It was Love Actually. It's been in my library a few years but is now missing. It's odd...it isn't even in the iTunes Store anymore. I think there is a rights issue because a message appeared in the store saying it wasn't available at this time in the U. S. store. Still, if I bought it years ago it should be in my library or I should get a refund....

  • Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
    I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
    My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
    If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
    But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
    I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
    I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
    Thanks,
    Callahan

    Hi Callahan,
    SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
    1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
    2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
    3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
    4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
    5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
    Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
    Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

  • How can I display step info in User Interface with Tracing Disabled?

    I'm trying to modify the CVI Operator Interface application to update the execute panel with some step information during the execution of the program. i.e. I want to display the measurement, high & low limits during the run WHEN TRACING IS DISABLED. (Doing this, when tracing is enabled is easy, all you do is access the step record that's been constructed (I can cope with that!))
    I've successfully implemented a User defined execution event to signal the User Interface application when the current step is a result (using TS_UIMsg_UserMessageBase etc. I'm posting a UI Message in the Process Model under the ProcessModelPostStep so that I will only display if its a result step.) I've added a user defined
    entry in the execute.c module execution event switch statement which will call a function in the exedisp.c module to update the display. However, I don't have a context to the step that I can use. (I can't use e.g. the exeRec record since this is only completed with the context if tracing is enabled.) I've got a handle to the correct panel to write the information to, but how do I get the context to the current step when tracing is disabled?
    Regards,
    Brian

    Hi,
    no problem - btw, if you wanted to acheive this in TS 1.x, you could always write to a local variable with the ActiveX reference for the step concerned, and then use the msg reference that you have in the OI within the UI Message handler, to dig through to the Execution ->Sequence File->Sequence->Locals, or Execution->Thread->SequenceContext (and you can get almost anywhere from that).
    Hope that helps

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.
