  • How to apply archivelog with gap on standby database

    Hi All,

    I have check the last sequence# on standby database which is 19921. And I have archivelog starting from sequence# 20672 onwards. When I am trying to apply archive log starting from sequence# 20672 , it is searching for 'D:\ORACLE\ADMIN\TEST\ARCH\TEST001S19921.ARC' file and cancel the recovery. Please note that I don't have those missing archive on Primary server as well. So How can I apply the remaining archive log which I do have from 20672 onwards.
    I hope I am not creating any confusion.
    Thx in advance.

    Hi Aijaz,
    Thx for your answer. But my scenario is bit complex. I have checked my standby database status which is not running in recovery mode. I have tried to find archive_gap which is 0 on standby server. I am copying all archived log from primary to standby thru the script every 2 hour and appying them on standby. After applying, the script is removing all applied log files from primary as well as standby. So it is something like I have archivelog from 1,2,3,7,8,9,10. So 4,5 and 6 archivelog are missing which is required when I am trying to recover standby database. Also note that I want to apply 7,8,9,10. I will loose some data from those missing archive but I have cold back any way. I don't have those missing archivelog files(4,5 and 6) anywhere at all. So how can I recover standby database. I am using standby just for the backup purpose.
    I hope my question is clear now.
    Thx in advance

  • How to achieve failover when the master definition site is down ?

    I have two Oracle 8i instances in a multi-master async replication environment. Two J2EE application servers connect to each of the Oracle instance respectively. When one of the oracle instance is down, I'd like to have my J2EE application failover to the second Oracle instance automatically without human intervention. I understand I can use OCI driver to allow my J2EE app to connect to the other Oracle instance when the first is down. But here are some questions:
    1. If I understand it correctly, there's only one master definition site. Let's say my master definition site sits with the first Oracle instance. If this server is down, the DBA has to go in to config the second Oracle instance to be the master definition site. Can this be done automatically without the DBA ?
    2. If the master definition site is down and the DBA is yet to come in, will the second Oracle instance still work ? I do understand the replication won't work, but will normal database read/write work ? What happens between the master definition site down and the master definition site reconfigured ?
    3. Are there any low cost third party tools can handle what I wanted ?
    Thanks in advance,

    To answer your questions.
    1. Yes there is only one master def site, it is not important to relocate the master def site, in the event of its failure. The def site is used as a the source for replication definition generation.
    2. It depends upon what type of multi-master replication you have implemented. If you are using asynch replication, the site that is up will continue to allow updates and will queue the transactions. When the other site(s) are active again, it will forward the transactions. Note, this can cause untold problems if you have a heavy used system, and narrow bandwidth. If on the other hand you are using synchanous replication, when one site goes down, the other site(s) lock their tables to prevent dml/ddl changes. Then you have to decide whether or not you can wait for the down site to be restored, or break replication to continue operations.
    3. Yes, there are a few, one that comes to mind, I believe is Shareplex.

  • How can I visit the performance tab when the target DB is down?

    Hi, All:
    I wonder if it is possible to visit the performance tab when the target DB is down. I thought it should be possible. But whenever I first click the performance tab, I will be asked to enter the user/passwd for the target db(I have set the preferred credentials).
    Furthermore, is it possible to analyze the history sql/performance if the target db is not startup? and how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance

    I have seen other postings by the same ID and my suggestion is that you have a look at the Enterprise Manager Documentation Library. After that, you can ask questions relating to subjects you cannot solve with the documentations.

  • How to avoid leaving a gap when closing tabs on Firefox 5?

    Hello,
    I want to disable a new feature on Firefox 5. Or, at least, I don't recall it being a feature on Firefox 4.
    When I have various tabs open, and close one of them, they go to the left, leaving a gap to the right that will be filled the time I move the mouse somewhere else.
    Being graphical:
    Starting from this:
    |¨¨a¨¨||¨¨b¨¨||¨¨c¨¨||¨¨d¨¨||¨¨e¨¨|
    I close the last two tabs, first "d", then "e", keeping the mouse over the tabs zone:
    |¨¨a¨¨||¨¨b¨¨||¨¨c¨¨|_Blank Space_
    Then, I move the cursor somewhere else, and then it fills the blank space:
    |¨¨1¨¨||¨¨2¨¨||¨¨a¨¨||¨¨b¨¨||¨¨c¨¨|
    How can I avoid this gap when I close tabs?
    Turning browser.tabs.animate to false did nothing.
    Thank you very much :)

    Cor-el, when we close the tabs, there's an animation where the remaining tabs grow into the vacated space. I have browser.tabs.animate switched off and would, as a result, have expected the tabs to instantaneously resize, instead of doing an animation that slows things down slightly and which I thought I'd turned off.

    This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged ALL the way in.  The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone plug should still be seen.

  • Restore/recover after failover to a Logical Standby database

    I have a question about how to recover or restore back to my original environment after I failover to my Logical Standby database.
    My setup is as follows: Oracle version 11.2.0.3, Non-RAC.
    1. A Primary database at one location.
    2. A Physical Standby database at a second location.
    3. A Logical Standby database at a third location.
    All three databases have Flashback Database on
    All three databases are configured thru the Data Guard Broker.
    All three databases has a Fast Recovery Area.
    Suppose I loose my primary database (1) and my Physical Standby database (3) so I Failover to my only remaining database, the Logical Standby database (2).
    What type of Databases are let after the this failover?
    What are my recover/restore/Instantiate options?
    The Data Guard Concepts book on 13.2.2 says how to bring the old Primary in to the Data Guard Configuration as a new Logical Standby database.
    How do I get back to the original configuration above, a primary, a Physical, and a Logical Standby without having to re-create some databases?
    Will Flashback database thru the Broker or Cloud Control/Grid Control rewind my databases?

    Suppose I loose my primary database (1) and my Physical Standby database (3) so I Failover to my only remaining database, the Logical Standby database (2).
    What type of Databases are let after the this failover?
    What are my recover/restore/Instantiate options? Then forget about your current primary database, its out of network.
    AFAIK
    Now you will have only Physical standby & logical standby. Now you will perform failover only current standby to primary database.
    So now you will have only one primary database with new incarnation, so you have to recreate a new standby database again.

  • Failover when delay of 1 day.

    Hi,
    my configuration is as that
    4 node RAC 10.2.0.3 -> 2 node RAC physical standby with 1 day lag (no standby log max performance mode).
    After extensive studying Oracle doc I'm confused how to do failover in such scenario (delay in applying used).
    Should I follow Oracle doc and do:
    ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH FORCE; --will that apply to the latest arch registered in standby ?
    ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
    or as stated in some blogs
    alter database recover managed standby database finish skip standby logfile; -- no mention abut skip standby logfile in 10.2 Dataguard Concepts only in 10.1 but people used that.
    alter database commit to switchover to primary;
    or Should I as in one blog related to delay in apply:
    alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    recover automatic standby database until time '_LATEST_TIME_';
    alter database activate standby database;
    Please advice .
    Regards
    GregG

    Should I follow Oracle doc and do:
    ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH FORCE; --will that apply to the latest arch registered in standby ?
    ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY;
    or as stated in some blogs
    alter database recover managed standby database finish skip standby logfile; -- no mention abut skip standby logfile in 10.2 Dataguard Concepts only in 10.1 but people used that.
    alter database commit to switchover to primary;There are many options available, So if there are any pending archives which haven't applied then you can give "ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH", Lets suppose you are using real time apply then of course you can use option of "Uisng standby logfile" .
    or Should I as in one blog related to delay in apply:
    alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
    recover automatic standby database until time '_LATEST_TIME_';
    alter database activate standby database;If suppose all the archives are already applied, then there is no point of mentioning "until time", If all the archives are applied, Then go ahead cancel MRP and use command "SQL> alter database activate standby database". That will do.

    Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.
    Many thanks,
    Lance

    Hi Rod,
    I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
    I’ve been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
    I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of ‘P’ is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value ‘Posted’. I’m not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

  • How to perform a classic Mac OS search in Tiger

    Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    In an this post I will describe how to perform a classic Mac OS search and give example results. You may perform the search with or without the spotlight database. This search falls under the smart folder implementation introduced with Tiger. I have done all my testing with Mac OS 10.4.11. I assume this will work with any version of Tiger or Leopard.
    The results will be slightly different with a spotlight database on the partition and without a database on the partition. With a database, you will not see Unix hidden files. You may be able to use all of the spotlight special find features. I did not test much with the spotlight special fields. Without a database, using the special features nulls out the search and the "Search for" field seems to give the same result as using the name field.
    This search technique was obscured by all the hoopla over spotlight. Authors of Tiger books avoided mentioning the Classic search interface. When I looked in Leopard books I noticed some authors put back information on the Classic search interface.
    For testing I created these files
    For testing I created a test "z-find" folder on my Macintosh-HD, containing files and folders with various attributes, then copied it over to my Spotless flash drive. This means both searches searched for the same file names.
    I put these files on my Macintosh-HD and Spotless partitions.
    Here is the list of files:

    Perform the Classic Mac OS search with a Spotlight database.
    {color:red}By Classic Mac OS search I mean a search on the filename and the results shown in list format.{color} How do you get to this interface?
    *Click on the Desktop to access the Finder.*
    *Click on File then click on Find. (Command-F)*
    Pick what folder you wished to search. With Tiger you can click on Others... to select a folder. Click on the plus sign to select the folder you wish to search. Be sure the selected folder in the list is the only one checked. In the first example I picked: /Users/mac/Desktop/iMac/z-find/
    {color:purple}The "Search for" field on the first line is used for spotlight. Avoid using this box.{color}
    *Click on the double arrow to the right of the first option (Kind). Go down to the name field.*
    *Change the 2nd pop down field to Contains.*
    *You can now search for the contents of a filename.* I searched for name contains: bash-
    To see the Classic display format, click on the three line icon which is located on the upper left of the window (list view). There is a small refresh icon on the lower right of the window.

    You can create a smart folder to take you directly to the search panel. Just click on the Save icon to the right of the window near the top. For readers of books, you should look under smart folders.

    There are some downsides. Initially, the search will find both visible and invisible Mac OS files. However, the search seems to get confused between visible and invisible files when you select the visibility option. It seems to get the visible correct when you use visible but when you add invisible things get confused. Sometimes it will find invisible files and sometimes it won't. I used both the Unix invisible files and the Mac OS X visiblity attribute.
    In putting the same search in the upper right-hand-corner spotlight search and in the Search for field, I did not get the same results. The spotlight search returned a 182 items while the with Search for field returned 179 items. The Search for field seemed to miss items in the mail boxes. With the Search for search you could display spotlight results in the classic format.
    I did a successful search on my fat32 flash drive.
    Perform the Classic Mac OS search without the spotlight database.
    If you turn off spotlight indexing on a volume and delete the spotlight index, then Mac OS Tiger reverts to the prior Mac OS search facility. In the preferences for spotlight, you let searching continued on the partition.
    Here is what I did:
    I installed the spotless application.
    http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot/
    I use spotless to configure spotlight. Click on disabled indexing then click on delete index files.
    !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3527/3239751839_c760c46628.jpg?v=0!
    Spotless creates the .Spotlight-V100 directory with the _IndexPolicy.plist and _rules.plist to prevent indexing on the partition.
    I performed the search for files containing "bash-" in the name field.
    !http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3240587902_171d8d46c3.jpg?v=0!

    bash-backup.html
    bash-batChmod.html
    bash-battery_yellow_4k.html    {labeled with the Yellow attribute}
    bash-copy    {folder}
    bash-folder__green    {folder and labeled with the Green attribute}
    ping_command-bash-copy.html
    Limitations:
    Does not search in Unix hidden folders. That is folders beginning with a period (.) .
    Sometimes will find files beginning with a period (.).
    Does not find Mac OS invisible files.
    Using the special features nulls out the search.
    The Search for field seems to give the same result as using the name field.

    • You can use the Terminal to search the contents of a file.
    You need to combine the find command with the grep command. I am searching for the word pdisk where file names containing "bash-" in the directory "/Users/mac/Desktop/iMac/z-find". The symbols {} \; are needed after the word to search. See:
    man find
    man grep
    for cryptic details.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g, CB023A, how to perform full-reset

    I own this printer since December 2009, during the first 15 months I had several problems/defects and also repairs and excange units. The problems continue on and in September 2011, in October 2011 and in November 2011 I got excange devices after repair attempts (one device was delivered without any function). The last device worked with one (?) (minor resp. accepted) problem until today resp. June 2014. ...this is the previous history ---> ---> I need sequence to perform full-reset on HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless A909g ---> Please send procedure/sequence how to perform a full-reset on this printer - not hard reset nor semi-reset: full-reset !!! Please send this information without unnecessary questions about my problems: My only problem is to own such printer!

    Hello AlexBW,
    I received your private message and I thank you for writing me back.
    One other step that I think may assist us would be to please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Once you have the unit connected directly to a wall outlet, follow the instructions that  I provided in the private message.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thank you once again for your time.  It has been a pleasure working with you.
    Click the “Kudos Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post to say “Thanks” for helping!
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.
