How to find which backups are running - whether RMAN or EXPORT or EXPDP ?

I need to find using SQL which backups are running at a particular time . I want to use SQL for this.

Hi,
Check the V$session view to get it.
SELECT SID,PROGRAM FROM V$SESSIONThe program will give you the
In case of export it will give you - exp.exe under the PROGRAM

But what is incremental merge, couldn't find in the 10g manual?check it out on http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmquick.htm#BRADV89354
do you use image backup in real production environment?Of course. We have a standard to to use image copies that way.
what do you suggest to do with rman normal way of backup or go for image backup?Depends on your specific situation. Like anything else, I prefer to provide some rationale on the recommendation.
Image Copies with Incremental Merge
Pros:
(1) one one full backup taken ever; no need to take another full backup
(2) the restore time is the same, regardless of the day of the week the db failed
(3) every day the incremental merge's success means the backup was good - an automatic validation
(4) it allows you to quickly switch to copy, rather than restore
Cons:
(1) Space requirement is more (since it's a bit to bit copy)
(2) can't do a point in time recovery from the disk alone
(3) can't go to the tape directly; must be a disk based backup.
Backupsets with Incremental Backup
Pros:
(1) space requirement is lower (since only never-used blocks are not copied)
(2) point in time recovery is possible
(3) direct backup to tape possible (no need for disk backup)
Cons:
(1) restore time varies depending on the day of the week the db failed
(2) you have to take a full backup regularly, perhaps once a week
(3) no validation unless you use validate backupset (takes resources)
So, as you can see, there are pros and cons to each approach. You have to decide for yourself which one weighs more (or less) to come to a conclusion.
Hope this helps.

How to find users who are running IE with different credentials ?
Is there any tool or a solution in the market will help or a i can use GPO or even Power Shell ?
thnx & Regards ,,

Hi Salman,
Based on your description, we can use Windows Credential Manager to check this. Windows Credential Manager stores credentials, such as user names and passwords that we use to log on to websites or other computers on a network.
Regarding Credential Manager, the following article can be referred to for more information.

How to verify RMAN backup ?

How to verify and validate the RMAN backups on daily basis?One more doubt at this point - if we can't locate any RMAN script in crontab(crontab -l) but still backup is occuring regularly, how can we see the script behind this?
Thanks in advance.

What you want see? If backup was executed without error or make sure that there is a valid backup on tape or disk.
So, If you want see if backup was executed successfull you must find the logs of backup or query "V$RMAN_OUTPUT" (check it on documentation).
If you want check if Database is Valid on Disk or TAPE as mentioned previously "RESTORE VALIDATE DATABASE" (check it on documentation).
Where we can locate RMAN SCRIPT? It's hard to answer.
It' your env, you should find out. The options are: Crontab / Oracle Enteprise Manager / Third-Party Backup Software / Job Scheduler.
Also you can try : Take a time of backup was executed and check on shell a time of exection of backup " ps -ef |grep rman" you will find from where script was started.

How to find expired backup?

Dear All,
how to find expired RMAN backup?
how it got expired?(according to which concept)
expired RMAN backup not used to restore?
If catalog database is their we need to register and then take backup?(is must?)
sorry for easy questions..but i'm in situation to know?
please help me :-)

Hello,
Expired backups are those that are unavailable on the location that you had taken the backup (disk or tape). Running a "crosscheck backup" lists out the expired backups and also updates the repository saying that these backups have been expired. You can delete the expired backups using "delete expired backup".
If you have the backups copied to a different location using OS commands and if the repository is not updated, then the crosscheck commands lists these backups to be expired. If these backups are required for a restoration purpose, then you can catalog them to the location where they are currently place using "catalog start with <path where the backup is stored>".
Since you are on 9i, "catalog start with .." is not supported. May be you can use this DBMS_RCVMAN package but not sure about its usage.

How to verify if backups are set up and running on Hyper-V with Ubuntu 12.04 on vm ?

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V installed and Ubuntu 12.04 running on a VM.
I would like to be able to verify if Windows Server Backups are in fact backing up the Ubuntu VM.
From within Hyper-V Manager no snapshots appear for the VM.
I have done a lsmod on Ubuntu to verify if LIS is installed , this is the output:

(not the entire output, just what I think is relevant)
When checking the registry on Server 2008 I cannot find the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WindowsServerBackup\Application Support\{66841CD4-6DED-4F4B-8F17-FD23F8DDC3DE}
as described how to setup in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958662
From what I can gather VSS will be able to run without the need to shutdown the Ubuntu VM but the backups are not running when Windows Server Backups run?
How can I verify IF any backups of the VM have run successfully at all?
I am new to Hyper-V - but from what I can see , it seems that no VM backups are running . The normal Windows Server backups are running nightly. I would like them to run together without having to restart/ take offline/reboot the VM.
This is a production server and I need to avoid rebooting as much as possible-

Hi Sir,
 The following daemons must be installed manually for Ubuntu distributions:
VSS Snapshot daemon – This daemon is required to create live Linux virtual machine backups.
KVP daemon – This daemon allows setting and querying intrinsic and extrinsic key value pairs.
To install both daemons, please use the following command:
Copy
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install hv-kvp-daemon-init
# uname –r
<kernel release>
# sudo apt-get install linux-tool-<kernel release>
# sudo apt-get install linux-cloud-tools-<kernel release>
Please refer to note 5 , 9 within following article :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn531029.aspx
As for linux VM running on hyper- v, I would suggest you to try to get further assistance from this forum:

How to find Oracle drivers are installed in WAS

Hi
I am doing Proto type application using webdynpro.I want to create tables in Oracle database,because WAS is installed on Oracle.Now i went to Visual Admin tool and checked the "JDBC Connector" properties.I tried to create the new 'DataSource".While creating DataSource ,it is asking me DriverName,Driver ClassName,Version.I have following questions:
1.How to find the wheather Oracle drivers are installed or not?if not where to get these drivers?
2.Once DataSource is created ,how to test wheater it is working fine or not?please help
Thanks
Prasad

Hello Prasad,
Don't create a new datasource, but create a datasource alias for the existing SAP<sid>DB datasource with your new name.
(remember to restart the j2ee cluster)
Then in your application instatiate the datasource and use your create/update/select statements.
Once this is set up test from your java code as follows:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/YourDataSource");
or.. DataSource mySource = (DataSource)ic.lookup("java:jdbc/YourDataSource"); (can't remember which of the 2 worked)
if this throws a NamingException, then your alias doesn't work, or perhaps you forgot to restart the cluster.
After this executes successfully, use the datasource freely.
Connection con = mySource.getConnection();
con.executeQuery
con.executeUpdate
con.executeStatement
ect...
And forget about oracle, sapdb, informix, db2, or whatever drivers. This makes your application portable and independent from the DB layer.
Please feel free to reward points if this solves your problem.
Best regards,
Homer Vargas

How to test RMAN backups

Hi,
We are running 24X7 systems and we take backup through RMAN.
I want to test my backups are working or not.
How can I do that.
Regards
MMU

restore validate database would be handy in your case.
When the above is issued, RMAN doesn't touch the live datafiles, it uses the previous valid backupsets to validate whether they are good enough for restore and recovery.
However, restoring on another host, will helpful to guage the restore and recovery timing.
