How to create standby controlfile from restored backup

Hi Techies,
I am re-building one of my DR server, Source and target DB is oracle 10g.
I have taken the source backup which is going to be restored on target, But I forgot to take a standby controlfile from source DB at the time (Pre/Post) backup.
Now the issue is I can create a standby controlfile on primary and copy the same to target, But so many datafiles are added after the backup which I have taken to restore and medias are already shipped.
I can send the other set of backup to DR site, but it takes a week time and I don't want to do that If I can regenerate it.
So any clue to create standby controlfile on target with restored datafiles?
Regards,
Nick Loy

Hmm... sounds like you perform this in a rather manual fashion...
Do you use RMAN for taking the backups?
Or maybe the BR*TOOLS?
With these tools you are usually safe from such mistakes - I can only recommend to use them!
However, since you don't have a control file at all on the target side, the only thing left to do would be to
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE NORESETLOGS;
on the primary side and manually remove the files that have been added since you took the backup from the control file script,
Afterwards you use the script on the standby side to create the control files.

Lars

You can not create controlfile from standby controlfile(Expected activate time).
And you lost controlfile?

Create standby database using restore backup

Hi,
I am creating a standby database 11g using manual process of restoring a backup , but to no avail. I can not even restore the backup successfully.
This is the steps I followed (courtesy of ORACLE-BASE) ORACLE-BASE - Data Guard Physical Standby Setup in Oracle Database 11g Release 2
I am confused about these steps:
Copy the files from the primary to the standby server.
Copy Standby controlfile to all locations.
$ scp oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl
My question is, for the 2nd copy, do I need to shutdown the primary db? since control01.ctl is being updated all the time?
Can I not used the standby ctl (db11g_stbg.ctl) and copy it to /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl instead?
Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Hi,
You are created standby control file on primary and copied to standby side:
$ scp oracle@ol5-112-dga1:/tmp/db11g_stby.ctl /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl
And now, in paramter files, you have CONTROL_FILES parameter as below :
control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl', '/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl'
it means you must copy controlfile IN standby side to second control file. Control files must be same.
$ cp /u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/control01.ctl /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl
My question is, for the 2nd copy, do I need to shutdown the primary db? since control01.ctl is being updated all the time?
You not need shutdown priamry database, becuase you copied standby control file to standby side, and all operations goin in standby side.
Can I not used the standby ctl (db11g_stbg.ctl) and copy it to /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/DB11G/control02.ctl instead?
Yes, you can use (db11g_stbg.ctl) standby controlfile

How to Create new database from cold backup files.

Dear Experts,
I have an oracle 10g databae on windows 2003 server.
The database is in Archive log mode and backup strategy is Taking cold backup ever night.
Backup steps:
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location.
Startup.
I have taken a backup at Tuesdaay 1AM and I have archive logs also.
On Wednesday, I want to Create a new database on another server with the available cold backup files and archive logs. I want to recover the database upto 4PM Wednesday. How can I do this.
I am not using control file auto backup or control file backup to trace.
Please help me how can I do this. I am new to oracle database Administration.
--Thanks

The steps :
shut down database.
copy data files, control files, redo logs, archive logs and parameter files to safe location -- you mean the alternate location for the new databaseare correct (except that I would say "alternate location for the new database").
If you do not have controlfile backups, you cannot either OPEN the database or RECOVER the database until and unless you CREATE the Controlfiles. You have to generate a CREATE CONTROLFILE script using a BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE from the Production serer and create the controlfile on the new server.
BEFORE the Startup, I would use
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL;The "using backup controlfile" tells Oracle to continue attempting Recovery -- ie doing a RollForward -- till the last archivelog made available to it.
For the Recover command, you then keep applying the ArchiveLogs from the Tuesday 1am ColdBackup upto Wednesday 4pm.
Once you have applied the last ArchiveLog, you do an
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;Here are my notes of doing a RollForward "Recovery" from a Cold Backup :
http://hemantoracledba.blogspot.com/2007/05/rollforward-from-cold-backup.html
If you are attempting all these steps on a different server from your current Production database, you should be safe.
Once you OPEN the database, you can use CREATE CONTROLFILE or the NID utility to rename the database.
If you are attempting to create the new database on the same server there are many other precautions you have to take and unless you have experience with cloning databases, I would advice you against doing so (only the RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE command has a safer method of cloning a database).

Create a standby controlfile using cold backup

Hi All,
We have to setup a DR for a production database.
Here we have the coldbackup which backups all the datafiles and the control file from the production database.
For cloining we generally copy them to another instance and then create controlfile manually. But for setting up as a DR , we would be creating it for standby controlfile.
I tried to google but I am not able to find a way to create a standby controlfile from the existing controlfile cold backup.
OS version solaris 10 , database version 11.2.0.1

Restore controlfile from tape backup without autobackup setting on

I am testing a scenraio of restoring control file if we loose all control files.
My RMAN settings for CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is OFF. But, I have taken a backup of controlfile using 'BACKUP CURRENT CONTROL FILE' .
When I tried to restore control file. I am receiving following error:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel c101 type sbt_tape;
3> restore controlfile ;

My question is, How can I restore control file from tape backup without CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP setting ON.
It sounds like, There is no way we can restore control file from tape backup if you've not set the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP is ON.
Please advice

When all controlfiles are lost and a recovery catalog is NOT used, RMAN has no information , where to find the controlfile backup. It's not enough to specify the channel, such a channel could hold many different backups from many different databases. You have tell , which database and which backupset. Modify your run block:
SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';

How to create new database from backup.

Hi !
i have backup of a database, i do not want to restore, i want to create new database from the backup.
i am using oracle 11g xe.
yours sincerely

If the Location of the datafiles is similar to that of source database then you can consider below steps
Create Oracle Service using oradim
set ORACLE_SID=NEWDB
oradim -new -sid NEWDB -intpwd passwordofthesys -startmode M
Connect to the RMAN
rman>rman target /
restore spfile/pfile and control file from backup
rman>restore spfile to pfile '_localtion of the initNEWDB.ora_' from '_location of the SPFILE Backuppiece_';
rman>startup nomount pfile='localtion of the initNEWDB.ora';
rman>restore controlfile from 'file location of the controlfile Backuppiece';
rman>alter database mount;
Catalog the RMAN backuppiece of source database
rman>catalog backuppiece '_location of the rman backuppiece of source database_ ';
resotore & recover database
rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
open the database with reset logs
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
rman>create spfile from pfile;
rman>shutdown immediate;
rman>startup;
==================
If you have access to source database then you can clone using below rman command:
+rman target _<source database>_ auxiliary _<new database>_+
rman>duplication target database to _<your new database name>_;
==========
If the location of the datafiles and logfiles are different from source database then you need to add db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert to the pfile before starting the recovery process.

Standby database from RMAN backup

I have been assigned to create a standby database from our RMAN backups in a different machine, as this is my first attempt at recovering, I am struggling a bit. I would appreciate if someone can throw any light on what dumb mistakeI am doing here. I ahve absolutely no control over the back up script which is done by my vendor, but can do anything in the reocvery portion. I did try going through the documentaiton and other help available for the last 2 days.
Database : Oracle 10G R2
OS : Windows Server 2003
My backup script is
configure channel device type disk format 'J:\RMAN\RMAN_df_%U' maxpiecesize 2048M;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup database;
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
SQL "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE";
backup current controlfile for standby FORMAT='J:\RMAN\RMAN_sc_%U';
For recovery of a standby database,
I have copied the the back up pieces and the archive logs to the standby server where I have just created an instance with the same name as production db.
set ORACLE_SID=NGINPROD
set dbid 820336652

I don't see ArchiveLog backups being done by the vendor's script. How do you backup the ArchiveLogs ?
In your post you state that you have copied the ArchiveLogs. Are they copied to the same log_archive_dest location ? RMAN needs to be "aware" of them. You can use the "CATALOG" command in RMAN to register them into the controlfile.

A Standby Database uses a Standby Controlfile which is created from the Primary (with the "ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS 'locaion';" command) and then copied over to the Standby server.

it appears to be i should not touch the soruce db.. i have access to only source db rman backups and need to create another db with different dbname/sid.. please do help...

When you performing RMAN duplicate why you making your script so complicated?
Your instance name and DB name can be different, But what is the contents in your pfile "D:\TESTDELETE\initclonedb1.ora" ? please do post
Have you started any other services related to ORACLE? check in start --> run --> services.msc any other active oracles services, Make sure you have clonedb1.
Startup in nomount
check the connectivity to target server.
SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO 'F:\app\HOME\oradata\clonedb1\TEMP01.DBF';Why you mentioning SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ? You have option of db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in case if your file system different in Target & auxiliary.
BACKUP LOCATION 'F:\app\HOME\flash_recovery_area\orcl\'When you have backup in same location why you are mentioning this clause?
First run duplicate from auxiliary server as
rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database to "db_name";
Am not sure what you are trying to do. is it 11gR1 or 11gR2?
You have option of duplicate from active database without having backup also..
here some links please check it.

How to estimate recovery time from rman backup

how to estimate recovery time from rman backup?
The database is of size 800GB.
the approximate time to backup is 8- 10 hours.

"Recovery time" is : RESTORE DATABASE time + RECOVER DATABASE time.
RESTORE can be done
a. in parallel with multiple channels if your backup was created as multiple backupsets
b. using incremental backups
c. whether the backups are on
i. disk
ii. tape
Alternatively, if you have a Recovery Area with an Incrementally Update backup of the database, you can SWITCH DATABASE almost immediately
RECOVER depends on
a. how many archivelogs (in terms of size, not necessarily number) need to be applied
-- this depends on
i. transaction volume
ii. the "freshness" of the backups (how recent the backups are)
b. whether required archivelogs are available on disk (which can be the case if the database backup itself is a very recent backup and archivelogs since then haven't been deleted {whether they have been backed up or not}) OR whether they need to be restored from
i. disk backup
ii. tape backup

How do I transfer contacts from a backup to iPhone?

I don't know if all of that makes sense, but if someone knows how to do that, please help me, I can't afford to lose those hundreds of contacts.

can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks
