How to automatically delete archivelogs on standby using RMAN?

Hello team. I just setup a physical standby on windows environment. The primary database is been backed up via RMAN and everything works fine except that the archivelogs moved to standby site are not been deleted.
I couldn't find some rman option to add to the scripts to take care of this issue.
Environment:
Windows 2003 server 32bits
Oracle Database 9.2.0.8
Thanks in advance!

If you were using 10g or later you could use a deletion policy as per Oracle support note ID 728053.1.
In 9i you need to schedule an RMAN job or shell script to delete these archives, e.g.:
RMAN> delete archvielog all completed before 'sysdate-1';
I have not tried it, but you can schedule also a PL/SQL script to take care of this, e.g.:

Ye olde "delete archivelogs in standby" question

11.2.0.2.0
According to note
Configure RMAN to purge archivelogs after applied on standby [ID 728053.1]
oracle should remove archive logs if we have deletion policy set to "delete applied on standby" which I have set on primary and standby. Monitoring the alert log we see
"Deleted Oracle managed file /path/to/an/archive/log"
so we think cool, its removing them automatically. Question is, when does it delete them? Right now my standby is in sync, yet my alert log is only sporadically showing my logs being deleted which were applied hours ago which I can visibly verify.

So I switched the logs a couple of times in production as well to see would that help and we did get some deleted then to bring the space used down to 17.5.gb which is just below the 85% mark.

SQL> quick experiment, dropped to 15gb which is below the 17gb currently used. And yes immediately, I can see the files being deleted.
so what I take from this is that if there is any space available in the 15% free then Oracle waits to be woken up by the receipt of a log from primary, sees that theres less than 15% free and deletes logs to below that limit. however, if the space free is less than the space used then oracle wakes up itself and deletes the logs. Cool.
Thanks hemant.

How to automate the data load process using data load file & task Scheduler

Hi,
I am doing Automated Process to load the data in Hyperion Planning application with the help of data_Load.bat file & Task Scheduler.
I have created Data_Load.bat file but rest of the process i am unable complete.
So could you help me , how to automate the data load process using Data_load.bat file & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require to achieve this.
Thanks

To follow up on your question are you using the maxl scripts for the dataload?
If so I have seen and issue within the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that if you do not have the full maxl script path with a batch when running it through event task scheduler the task will work but the log and/ or error file will not be created. Meaning the batch claims it ran from the task scheduler although it didn't do what you needed it to.
If you are using maxl use this as the batch
"essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" Or you can also use the full path for the maxl either way works. The only reason I would think that the maxl may then not work is if you do not have the batch updated to call on all the maxl PATH changes or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the essmsh command to work in a command prompt.

How to automatically delete iCal events

I've finally gotten to a "technical place" where I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPhone for my wife and I. Life is good!!
I've made the switch to iCloud and now manage my calendar on all devices, but I can't seem to find how to set up my calendar to automatically delete old events.
I would assume that events that were created as the "start" of a repeating event should not be deleted, but those events that I create as non-repeating have little or no value to remain.
Is there a way to have iCal automatically delete events in the past?
Jim P.

Jim,
Log into iCloud.com, open the Web App Calendar, click on the Prefereces cog, and make the appropriate selections in "Advanced."

How do I delete an app after using "Add to Home Screen"?

I used the "Add to Home Screen" option from Safari. Then it added the app on my home screen. How do I delete it? It does not have an 'X' symbol when I make my icons wiggle. So, does anybody know how to actually delete this app from my iPhone?
I've heard about dragging it to the tenth page...BUT, I am not interested in leaving it on my phone taking up space. I want it off. I was just testing out its functionality.
Thanks

If you plug in your device to the computer, the iTunes page will appear. Click onto your device on the lefthand side, then select "Apps" at the top of the ensuing page. You will see all your applications you have on the device. Right click onto the app you wish to delete, and follow the directions. That should remove it from your device.
Hope it works.

Deletion of archive log using RMAN Target in Oracle 10g

Are you trying to connect it through Grid control ? If connecting through a script, then please post its contents.
Make sure you are not connecting to the target database using "nocatalog".

*009*Are these archives backed up ? The above command only updates the RMAN repository if in case the archives were delete manually at OS level.
I would recommend you to backup these archives and then delete them.
RMAN>backup archivelog all not backedup 1 times delete input;If these archives are already backed up and have not been deleted from the disk, then you can use the below command
RMAN>delete force noprompt archivelog all completed before 'SYSDATE-n';where "n" is the number of days behind the current date. Make sure to verify if these archives have been backed up before deleting.

How to backup Oracle Database Single Instance using RMAN

Folks,
Hello. I am using Oracle Database Server 11gR1 with Operating System Oracle Linux 5.10.
I understand how to backup database instance in SQL Server with Windows. But don't really understand how to backup database instance in Oracle with Linux.
I have done Cold backup and Hot backup for the database instance HRCS90 but both get the same error message.
Cold backup is below:

While the database instance HRCS90 is startup, I do hot backup using the same commands and get the same error message with above cold backup.
My question is:
Can any folk tell me the specific steps (command by command) to backup a single database instance in Oracle using RMAN ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying. My database instance named HRCS90 is going to be backed up. My backup directory is /backup_Database_Instance_HRCS90.
If database in open state, we must back up in archive log. If database in mount state but not open, we can back up in noarchive log.
I have tried to back up HRCS90 in archive and noarchive log when database in mount state but not open as below:

Problem While Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN

Hi Guru's
May be this incidence you all face while creating physical standby DB. I try to create Physical standby database Using RMAN Duplicate Command from one server
(pri machine) to Standby Machine.
The steps i followed to create the above are as follows:
Step 1:- Enable Forced Logging
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
Step 2:- Configure a Standby Redo Log
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE GROUP 10
2> ('/oracle/dbs/log1c.rdo','/oracle/dbs/log2c.rdo') SIZE 500M;
Step 3:- Set Primary Database Initialization Parameters
SQL> create pfile='?/dbs/pfileorcl.ora' from spfile;
Edit the pfile to add the standby parameters, here shown:
db_unique_name='orcl'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcl,orcldr)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcldr LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcldr'
*.fal_server=orcldr
*.fal_client=orcl
*.standby_file_management=auto
Step 4:- Enable Archiving
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG;
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
Step 5:- Setup tnsnames for standby database
This should be done on primary database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcldr
orcldr =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcldr)
Step 6:- Backup database and copy it to standby
This backup script should be run on primary and copied to standby on the same mount point, running this scripts using RMAN, all files under /rman_backup should be copied to /rman_backup on standby server.
$rman target /
RMAN> run
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
backup database format '/rman_backup/%U';
backup archivelog all format '/rman_backup /%U';
backup current controlfile for standby format '/rman_backup/%U';
Step 7:- Standby Database Steps
Installing Oracle Software
This should be same release and patchset with exactly same ORACLE_HOME mount point.
Setting Up listener
Create and start a listener on standby database using NetCA, or creating listener.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby-svr)(PORT = 1521))
Step 8:- Set Standby Database Initialization Parameters
Copying the pfile created in primary database and renames it to initorcldr.ora, and changes these parameters:
db_unique_name='orcldr'
LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG='DG_CONFIG=(orcldr,orcl)'
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2='SERVICE=orcl LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=orcl'
*.fal_server=orcl
*.fal_client=orcldr
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
Step 9:- Setup tnsnames for primary database
This should be done on standby database by altering tnsnames.ora or using NetCA command, and create it by the name orcl
orcl =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary-svr)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
Step 10:- Copy a Password File
A password file must be created on the Primary and copied over to the Standby site. The sys password must be identical on both sites. Copy orapworcl to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs and rename file to orapworcldr
Step 11:- Create mount points for Oracle
Mount point should be created on standby server with the same convention used in primary, this includes the location for controlfiles, redo logs, datafiles, archive log destination and alert logs.
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/adump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/cdump
$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/orcl/udump
Step 12:- Use RMAN to restore backup and setup standby
Connect to RMAN and execute the following command to create standby database, this should be performed on standby server after copying backup and setting tnsnames.
$ export ORACLE_SID=orcldr
$ rman target sys/tiger@orcl auxiliary sys/tiger@orcldr
RMAN> duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
Here i am getting problem as :
While trying to connect to traget database and auxiliary database i notice that when RMAN is connect to both databases it shows
orcl ( DBID xyz)
orcl (not mounted)
Here in my view the second database must be standby database name or auxiiary db name is standby db name which in my case is orcldr
after this issue i am facing the second issues as :
in command
duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
After modifying the command to
RMAN> duplicate target database to "standby";
rman-05520 database name mismatch
Can u please let me know where i am mistaking

ok for pri:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=orcl
for standby:
db_name=orcl
db_unique_name=sbyorcl ( i change orcldr to sbyorcl later)for new testing
but now what i am getting on

Physical standby using rman

Step By Step Guide To Create Physical Standby Database Using RMAN
Doc ID: Note:469493.1
says: Step 2: Move the backups to the standby server
I'm a rman novice. What does that move look like? Do I copy the various files mentioned in the backup output, like /u01/oracle/product/ora10g/flash_recovery_area/ORA10G/backupset/2007_12_09/o1_mf_annnn_TAG20071209T145731_3oqf84xl_.bkp or is there some other glue that has to be performed to make the standby system see the backup correctly.
Could I just tar up the FRA?

Hi,
You can place your backup whatever you find it appropriate and catalog it on the target server using catalog rman command.
Your FRA can be large and it can take time to copy all content of FRA to target server.
The best way to use backup ... format '<path_to_backup location>/bkp_%U'; Then copy backup piece(s) to target server and register with catalog start with '<path_to_backup location on target server';
Best Regards,
Alex

How to automate deleting periodic emails

Like many of us, I receive emails from certain places on a periodic basis. Whether it's the sale of the week, new music on Spotify, the latest updates from my favorite social network, I spend an inordinate amount of time manually pruning my inbox of older such messages. I'm looking for a way to automate this. I use Mail.app as my email client. I'm not averse to third party tools (I run MailTags & MailActOn plugins), but would prefer something using Mail.app rules with perhaps a smart Applescript to handle this.
I'm hoping someone out there in the Apple community has already solved this.

If you are looking to delete those messages only after a certain period of time and not immediately, you could create a rule with conditions to find those and add a condition for "Date Received" "Is Greater Than" "amount of days". I'm not sure how the date function would work as rules only apply to incoming messages. But I assume it will work because it is listed in the conditions.
You could also create a smart folder to search out those messages. They will populate in the folder as the conditions are met and it's just a matter of selecting all within that folder and deleting them.

How to create/delete files from filesystem using PL/SQL ? UTL_FILE?

Greetings,
I will start by explaining what i intend to do.
I have an application made in APEX. This application will have among other purposes the managment of pdf files which will reside in the filesystem.
I have questioned the person in charge to keep the pdf files in the database and not in the filesystem but without success.
So the pdf files reside in the filesystem and there is a record in a database table about them. A table keeps all info about the pdf, their location , size and name, creation date etc.
The APEX application will have a mecanism to allow the deletion of the pdf files if an administrator decides.
So it should be possible for an administrator to schedule the deletion of all pdf files whoe creation date is older than 2008 for example
So, how can i achieve that?
After some research i foudn about the UTL_FILE package which seems to have it takes to perform the task in issue.
My idea was to have a script in the operating system which runs nightly and reads a file containing all file names of the pdf to be erased.
The file which contains the names of the pdfs to be erased will be generated by the database a few minutes before.
If there are no pds files to be erased than the file containing the names will simply be empty
Are there any other viable solutions out there?
And as for opening/creating the file withn the pdf names, i use:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN (
location IN VARCHAR2,
filename IN VARCHAR2,
open_mode IN VARCHAR2,
max_linesize IN BINARY_INTEGER)
RETURN file_type;
And as for writing lines (a pdf name per line ), i use;
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE (
file IN FILE_TYPE,
buffer IN VARCHAR2,
autoflush IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
is there a better solution?
thanks all.

Greetings,
I have read that link above, some questions still though.
I will provide some more information.
-First the database is in a windows server.
The windows server has a virtual drive mounted as z:\ <-- this points to a directory in virtual machine, i can manually access/create/delete files manually,i tested.
-Second utl_file_dir is defined as * , in t that enough to cover mounted drives? ( i can't change the init.ora and reboot the db right now :( gotta wait.. )
Do i explicitly have to define utfl_file_dir = z: ?
-Third haven't had the chance to test it on linux or any other operating system, assuming a virtual unit is mounted successfully and that the issues above are solved i should be able to operate on any mounted drive whatever the os, right?
Best regards

HT2534 How do I delete a credit card used to buy books with ibooks?

I purchased a book through ibooks with my ipad. I did not authorize a credit card to be saved and did not set up an account but it was there. I did not intend to purchase the book and assumed they would need to ask me for payment - the book went through. Now I do not know how to cancel this card so I will be asked for payment in the future.
Thank you for your usual wonderful help.

You can't delete a credit card unless you replace it with another.
Simply enter some incorrect information if you want to stop the card being used.
