Hi Guys,

Hi,
Instead of the logfile name, try the command with the logfile integer as mentioned below.
alter database clear unarchived logfile group <integer>;
You can get the logfile integer using the view, v$log.
select GROUP#,MEMBERS,STATUS from v$log;
The value for the parameter GROUP# is the logfile integer.
Hope this helps.

Logmnr/capure error b'coz of corruption of redo log block

Hi,
We all know that capture process reads the REDO entries from redo log files or archived log files. Therefore we need to ahev db in ARCHIVELOG mode.
In alert log file, I found error saying :
Creating archive destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1: 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\REPF\ARCHIVE\LOCATION01\1_36.ARC'
ARC0: Log corruption near block 66922 change 0 time ?

ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\REPF\REDO02.LOG'
As a normal practice, we do have multiplexing of redo log files at diff location, but even that second copy of redo log is of no use to recover the redo log. This explains redo log could not be archived, since it can't be read. Same is true even for Logmnr process, it could not read the redo log file and it failed. Now, we have wae to recover from this situation (as far as DB is concern, not Stream Replication), since the shutdown after this error was IMMEDIATE causing checkpoing, and rollback/rollforward is not required during system startup. (No instance recovery) We can make db NOARCHIVELOG mode, drop that particular group, and create new one, and turn db to ARCHIVELOG mode This will certainly serve the purpose as far as consistency of DB is concern.
Here is a catch for Stream Replication. The redo log that got corrupted must be having few transaction which are not being archived, and each will be having corresponding SCN. Now, Capture Process read the info sequentially in order of SCN. Few transaction are now missed, and Capture process can't jump to next SCN skipping few SCN in between. So, we have to re-instantiate the objects on the another system which has no erros, and start working on it. My botheration is what will happen to those missed transaction on the another database. It's absolete loss of the data. In development I can manage that. But in real time Production stage, this is a critical situation. How to recover from this situation to get back the corrupted info from redo log ?
I have not dropped any of the log group yet. B'coz I would like to recover from this situation without LOSS of data.
Thanx, & regards,
Kamlesh Chaudhary

I have the similar problem - I am using Steams environment, and have got this
"ORA-00353: log corruption near block" errors in the alert.log file
during capture the changes on the primary database, and Capture
process became aborted after that.
Was that transactions lost, or after i've started the Capture process

Have anyone solved that problem?
Can you help me with it?

Hi, Yingkuan,
Thanks for the helps.
Actually, I have 10 redo log files exists. All of them are here.
I tried your suggestion:
alter database clear unarchived logfile group 4;
The error msg I got is the same as before:
SQL> alter database clear unarchived logfile group 4;

Compared to losing all the data, it is OK for me lose some of them.
I have more than 1 TB data stored and 99.9% of them are raster images.
The loading of these data were the headache. If I can save them, I can bear the lost.
I want to grasp the last straw.
But I don't know how set the parameter: allowresetlogs_corruption
I got the error msg:

Thanks very much for your help guys. I appreciate it. unfortunately none of these commands worked for me. I kept getting error on clearing logs that redo log is needed to perform recovery so it can't be cleared. So I ended up restoring from earlier snapshot of my db volume. Database is now open.
Thanks again for your input.And now, as a follow-up, at a minimum you should make sure that all redo log groups have at least 3 members. Then, if you lose a single redo log file, all you have to do is shutdown the db and copy one of the good members (of the same group as the lost member) over the lost member.
And as an additional follow-up, if you value your data you will run in archivelog mode and take regular backups of the database and archivelogs. If you fail to do this you are saying that your data is not worth saving.

[DG Physical] ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block

Hi all,
I'm building a DR solution with 1 primary & 2 DR site (Physical).
All DBs use Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 on Solaris 64bit.
The first one ran fine for some days (6), then I installed the 2nd. After restoring the DB (DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY) & ready to apply redo. The DB fetched missing arc gaps & I got the following error:
==================

Recovered data files to a consistent state at change 8236247255373
===================
I see that may be RFS get the file incorrectly so I ftp to get this file & continue the apply, it pass. Comparison the RFS file & ftp is difference. At that time, I think that something wrong with the RFS because the content of arc is not right. (I used BACKUP VALIDATE ARCHIVELOG SEQUENCE BETWEEN N1 AND N2 THREAD X to check all arcs the RFS fetched, there was corrupt in every file);
I restore the DR DB again & apply incremental backup from the primary, now it run well. I don't know what's happening as I did the same procedures for all DR DB.
Yesterday night, I have to stop & restart DR site 1. Today, I check and it got the same error as the 2nd site, with corrupted redo. I try to delete the arcs, & let RFS to reget it, but the files were corrupt too.
If this continue to happen with the 2nd site again, that'll be a big problem.
The DR site 1 & Primary is linked by a GB switch, site 2 by a 155Mbps connection (far enough for my db load at about 1.5MB/s avg apply rate).
I seach Oracle support (metalink) but no luck, there is a case but it mentions max_connection>1 (mine is default =1)
Can someone show me how to troubleshooting/debug/trace this problem.
That would be a great help!
Thank you very much.

Checksum error in redo log block

I received ORA-00368 in my database and to resolve it I tried following steps:-
1) recover database until cancel;
2) alter database open resetlogs;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oracle/data/system01.dbf'

There are 4 log groups with 2 members each and the database is in archive mode. Log group# 10 is current and all others are inactive.
Could you please let me know how should I proceed further either with or without losing transaction in group# 10 redo log?
Thanks

How can I drop the CURRENT log group# 10 and start the database with remaining 3 log groups? Database is in archive mode.Short answer: You cant. It is the CURRENT redo log... most probably your database wasnt shut down cleanly hence requiring a recovery. This recovery cannot be done because you have a corruption in your redo log needed to roll-forward the changes.
Without a valid backup and a restore/recovery until time there is no chance of opening the database without the help of Oracle. I strongly suggest you open a SR and prepare your management for some costs because you are running a unsupported database version on a unsupported (at least today) operating system. I also doubt you have a valid support contract for a 9i database...

Thanks help in detail steps

Jim,
Check this link out for how to drop a redo log file
Make sure a redo log group is archived (if archiving is enabled) before dropping it. To see whether this has happened, use the V$LOG view.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/onlineredo.htm#i1006489
SELECT GROUP#, ARCHIVED, STATUS FROM V$LOG;
   GROUP# ARC STATUS
        1 YES ACTIVE
        2 NO CURRENT
        3 YES INACTIVE
        4 YES INACTIVE
Drop a redo log group with the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE with the DROP LOGFILE clause.
The following statement drops redo log group number 3:
ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3;

How to damage online redo log for simulation

Dear All,
Kindly please help to inform me, is there any way to damage online redo log from database level (not from OS command like dd) ?
I need to do it for test case to enable db_block_checking and db_block_checksum (set both parameter to TRUE).
Is those parameter will help from redo log corruption ? that's why, i want to prove it.
Thanks
Anthony

My purpose is i want to verify that the db_block_checking and db_block_checksum can avoid redo corruption (the corruption caused by process in the database).Redo corruption could also occur due to other issues as http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/initparams049.htm#REFRN10030 says:

Checksums allow Oracle to detect corruption caused by underlying disks, storage systems, or I/O systems. If set to FULL, DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM also catches in-memory corruptions and stops them from making it to the disk.

You could try to use ORADEBUG POKE command to write directly in the SGA if you know how to find log buffer blocks ... About ORADEBUG please read http://www.juliandyke.com/Diagnostics/Tools/ORADEBUG/ORADEBUG.html.

How does LGWR write redo log files, I am puzzled!

The document says:
The LGWR concurrently writes the same information to all online redo log files in a group.
my undestandint of the sentence is following for example
group a includes file(a1, a2)
group b includes file(b1, b2)
LGWR write file sequence: write a1, a2 concurrently; afterwards write b1, b2 concurrently.
my question is following:
1、 my understanding is right?
2、 if my understanding is right, I think that separate log file in a group should save in different disk. if not, it cann't guarantee correctly recovery.
my opinion is right?
thanks everyone!

Hi,
>>That is multplexing...you should always have members of a log file in more than 1 disk
Exactly. You can keep multiple copies of the online redo log file to safeguard against damage to these files. When multiplexing online redo log files, LGWR concurrently writes the same redo log information to multiple identical online redo log files, thereby eliminating a single point of redo log failure. In addition, when multiplexing redo log files, it is preferable to keep the members of a group on different disks, so that one disk failure will not affect the continuing operation of the database. If LGWR can write to at least one member of the group, database operation proceeds as normal.
