How to recover datafile.when control file auto backup is off

hi friend
i took hot backup of my database using following command
rman>backup database;
in my case controlfile auto backup is off.
and i have lost my all controlfiles as well as datafiles except spfile.
i have recovered control file using dbms_backup_restore package.
know i am able to mount database using following command
rman> startup mount;
when i wrote following command
rman> restore database;
i got following error
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile name found to restore
enven i have backup of datbase.
can anybody tell me how to recover datafiles in this case.
thanking you
sohail

hi,
I think you might have a problem here as the error from RMAN is described in the following metalink note
Doc ID: Note:100565.1
You should change you backup script to be something like
rman {
backup database include current controlfile;
do you have any earlier backups of your database?

Alan

Control File Auto Backup Alert Log

Hello-
Is there a parameter in the 11g database that needs to be configured to write to the alert log when the controlfile is auto-backed up ?
I have this configured but there are no entries in the alert logs for 11g databases.
I do have them in my 10g alert logs.
Thanks-

No there is no such parameter.
It seems that Oracle 11g does not write anything to alert log when control file is auto backed up but instead writes to a trace file in diagnostic_dest directory tree:

How to recover DB2 using offline file system backup.

Gurus,
I had a problem with my BI PRD's database. 1 of my BI consultant accidently deleted some important 2010's data. We've try recover online database backup of BWP into BWQ and retrieve the missing data. However the backup retention period was expired and we dont have any available online backup now.
Only hope is my offline file system backup which backup the whole file system of BWP ONLY.
My question:-
Can i restore the file system (offline backup) into BWQ and rebuild my DB2 in BWQ. Please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Devan.

Hi
You can do it .The file system backup image can be mirroed into production system and by making using of "db2inidb" utility you can restore the whole database.

How to recover database without archive files

Hello,
I've a test database without archive files and I need to know how to recover it without using archive files.
What is SQL command to recover database wthout archives?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carles

There are serveral information missing in this posting and as a support personnel, I would like to find out more when I see postings like this.
1. This person wants to "Test" his backup and recovery in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
2. He/She did not say his database had already crashed or had a problem.
3. He/She did not give any indication the kind of scenario he wants to recover from.
4. He/She did not mention the state of his database at the time of he posting.
5. He/She did not mention the Release of his Oracle Server or Platform.
6. He/She did not mention the type of backup he already has in place (although provided later as Full COLD Backup). How "genuine" is the back?
7. What actions has already been taken to attempt recovery.
In my support experience, I normally would go through a list of questions witht he use/client to get the full picture of the current status of the database before I give answers that would worsen situations, especially in a Disaster Recovery sitaution.
Personaly, I would suggest you have a look at the list above. One of the most important is number 3 (The Recovery Scenario), then number 4, number 6 and 7. Number 7 will determine the situation of your database. So, when you ask for SQL commands to use, there are different commands for different kind of recovery depending on what has gone wrong or what kind of file is damaged (Datafiles, Logfiles, Control Files, one tablespace, one table, entire database gone, etc).

Recover datafile using redolog file

Hi all,
please let me know if we can recover datafile using redolog file.
As my database has no archive log mode ON.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
For your information: NOARCHIVELOG mode protects a database only from instance failure, not from media failure.

Anybody knows if the source code of scadm tool is available somewhere ? (opensolaris etc. ?)
I don't have any additional advice to offer other than asking that you to try the flash-update all over again,
one more time, as if it were the beginning again.Yes but how because the SC is not discovered anymore by Solaris :
"rmclomv: WARNING: DP_GET_SDP_VERSION failed, ret=4"
"The SC hardware could not be initialized."
Can you try to flash the mainalomfw ? Your log contained only the flash of the alombootfw !
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download alommainfw
I guess jumper JP2 allows to recover from a failed flash by selecting the un-touched half the PROM.It does not work as the SC is not responding anymore to Solaris
Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005
v210:~#
v210:~# cd /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/images
v210:/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/images# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/scadm download alommainfw
scadm: The SC hardware could not be initialized.
v210:/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/images#
ERROR: ERROR: Unable to open the SC device.
It's a pitty that obtaining OBP/ALOM updates requires a service contract. I got a V210 recently.
Unfortunately both OBP and ALOM are the intial release 4.8.2 / 1.0.I agree but it's probably also because you need support in case it fails ;-)
Thanks for your answers!

Datafiles and control file corrupted

I have oracle 9i installed on windows 2003 server. A couple of days before our windows crashed and the system administrator took the backup of all files and reinstalled windows. After reinstallation of windows I restored the files backed up by system administrator and tried to start the database. I got the following error:
ORA-00227: corrupt block detected in controlfile: (block 1, # blocks 1)
ORA-00202: controlfile: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\CONTROL03.CTL'
All the multiplexed copies of control files are also corrupted. We do not have the backup since last few days and the database is in noarchivelog mode. Simple restoration to the old backup would be a great loss. Kindly help me to recover the control file and datafiles.

All the multiplexed copies of control files are also corrupted. We do not have the backup since last few days and the database is in noarchivelog mode. Simple restoration to the old backup would be a great loss. Kindly help me to recover the control file and datafiles.You could try to re-create the control files assuming the database itself was closed properly.
However you should only do this if you know what you are doing.
In any case you should backup the database in its current state in case things getting worse by trying to recover. CHECK this backup twice!
In any case: Open a support ticket at Oracle. You will most probably need their help.
In addition to that - it look quite bad for your data. You should prepare for data loss (just to be sure; i dont want to scare you)....

How to dynamically create sqlldr control file using stored procedure

I am trying to dynamically create the control file (.ctl) and execute the same using a stored procedure.I would be passing the file name as a parameter to this procedure. How do I go about doing this?
The control file has the following structure. The file name (mktg) varies and is passed as an input to the stored procedure.
SPOOL mktg.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'mktg.csv'
INTO TABLE staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COMPANY_NAME,
ADDRESS,
CITY,
STATE,
ZIP)
SPOOL OFF ;
sqlldr scott/tiger CONTROL= mktg.ctl LOG=mktg.log BAD=mktg.bad

We are using oracle 9i rel 2.
I have not had much success with the creation of log and bad files using external tables when they are being used within a dynamic sql.
Plz check this:

Renaming datafiles in control files with database mounted but not open

Hi,
I moved a database (physical files) from one server to another. I need to modify the contents of the control files since the directory structure of the servers are not the same (and I can't change that).
I know I can use ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE to produce a script that I can than modify and run with the instance started, database mounted but not open, and that will recreate the control files. I don't want to do that.
I was also told I can modify the datafile entries in the control files by starting the instance, mounting but not opening the database. Then I can issue the (this is the part I need help with) ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE <file1> to <file2>. When I tried this it complains that <file1> is not found. Obviously the command I used is not the right one,,, what is the right command for what I want to do.
Thanks,
Gabriel

Datafiles y control files borrados, como Restauro Backup?

Haber les explico mas detalladamente, en primer lugar utilizo:
SO--> AIX Version 6.1
Motor de BD--> Oracle 11g
El problema radica que tengo un DMP FULL de la BAse de Datos quiero importarlo pero los datafiles(incluyendo USERS, SYSTEM) están borrados, la base de datos esta borrada al igual que el control file, si me preguntan por si esta multiplexado la respuesta es SI pero los 2 archivitos están fallados, si realizo:
select open_mode from v$database;
OPEN_MODE
MOUNTED
-cuando quiero darle:
alter database open;
me muestra el Siguiente error que les comentaba que no tengo ningún datafile porque están borrados:

How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA. I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all. The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications. There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain. These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working !!!!. I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files. They are very very valuable to me.
Many thanks for your kind attention

First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere? Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable. Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive. Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed. It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing. Why not try recovering what you can on your own? See Recovering deleted files.
You should be aware that no computer is safe. All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs. You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups... no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.
