dear friends,
i drop two tables i.e table1 at 8:00 and table2 at 8:20.i recovered the database using rman with catalog until time 8:18.i got the dropped table
table2 but when i checked the table1 i m getting erro-table1 doesnt exist in the database.why RMAN didnt recover the table1(though table1 is dropped before table2) your help is higly appreciated.thanks to all my dear friends.Because you recovered until 8:18. At 8:18, table 1 had already been dropped. So at 8:18 the state of the database was that there was no table1. And that the is point to which you recovered your database.
Rman did this by applying all of the redo (that is, by re-applying all of the DDL and DML) that occurred between the time of the restored data file and the 'recover to' time you specified. Since that time was after you dropped table1, it re-applied the DROP statement.

How to recover from a software failure on the 6120 Fabric Interconnect

Hi all,
Had a software failure while upgrading the fabric interconnects. Does anyone know the process to recover from a software failure.
Ive copied up the kickstart and system images, from the loader prompt ive booted the kickstart image and then loaded the system image but the fabric interconnect still reboots to the "switch(boot)" prompt.
Thanks in Advance
Darren

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately im still stuck on the switch(boot): prompt.
The bootflash: only has 2 files in it, the kickstart and system image.
Each time i get the FI to the boot prompt, i can ping the device, but not access via the GUI. (i dont have a local copy of UCSM installed)
What files should i have in the bootflash: for the FI to correctly load.
below is a log of the FI as it loads the kickstart image from the Loader prompt.
loader> boot bootflash:ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.4.1.3.N2.1.3c.bin

Cold backup can use archivelog to recover database to point of failure?

Hi,
I have the small doubts. In any DB let us say we have following condtions:
1) DB is running in ARCHIVELOG mode.
2) Cold backup is performed every sunday.
3) No hot backup or RMAN backup is taken.
so if any failure happens during weekday say on friday. can we recover our database till the point of failure with the help of cold backup? If yes then pls specify the steps how to do it.
could archive log be applied on cold backup?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Shaliesh,
Cold or hot backup doesn't govern teh recovery. Whether the recovery is going to be a complete or incomplete recovery, I mean we can recover teh complete data or would be thrown back to the last good backup stage is governed by the availability of the archives. If you have teh archive log enabled , this means yiou have all teh transaction records already with you. So if you have taken your backup on Sunday, and faced a crash on Tuesday, all you have to do is to restore the last good bcakup from Sunday, give a recover command and oracle would start applying the archivelogs to the files. This would be a complete recovery providied anything else had not happen which can stop it, for example, loss of an archive log.
So teh answer would be, yes archive logs are very well applicable on teh cold backup.

How can I design Load Balancing for distant Datacenters? without single point of failure

Dear Experts,
We are using the following very old and passive method of redundancy for our cload SaaS but it's time to make it approperiate. Can youplease advise:
Current issues:
1. No load balancing. IP selection is based on primary and secondary IP configurations. If Primary fails to respond, IP record for DNS changes to secondary IP with TTL=1min
2. When primary server fails, it takes around 15 min for clients to access the servers. Way too long!
The target:
A. Activate a load balancing mechanism to utilized the stand-by server.
B. How can the solution be designed to avoid single point of failure? In the previous example, UltraDNS is a single point of failure.
C. If using GSS is the solution, how can it be designed in both server locations (for active redundancy) using ordinary DNS server?
D. How can HSRP, GSS, GSLB, and/or VIP be used? What would be the best solution?
Servers are running ORACLE DB, MS SQL, and tomcat with 2x SAN of 64TB each.

Hi Codlick,
the answer is, you cannot (switch to two web dispatchers).
If you want to use two web dispatchers, they need something in front, like a hardware load balancer. This would actually work, as WD know their sessions and sticky servers for those. But remember you always need a single point for the incoming address (ip).
Your problem really is about switchover groups. Both WD need to run in different switchover groups and need to switch to the same third software. I'm not sure if your switchover software can handle this (I'm not even sure if anyone can do this...), as this means the third WD needs to be in two switchover groups at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Benny

How to recover incomplete download items from the point where it stopped in firefox browser in case of unexpected computer crash or shut down

While downloading with Mozilla Firefox if by any means my computer crashes or shutdown unexpectedly I lose all data that had been downloaded so far. How to recover the downloaded data without a need to start all the way back from scratch to download the same data. Please help me if there are any means to recover downloaded mbs and continue from where it has stopped, so that I can avoid losing extra mbs and time to go back again and restart downloading.

Try these steps:
# Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
# Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
# Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
# Resume the download in Firefox.
If that doesn't work then the server may not support resuming.

Mixing thread
yours recovery asking a lot of archivelog ,you are in the situation now like you are in no archive mode recovery..which requires last cold backup.
What you can do is restore yours old backup with its old controlfile and then recover till before that miissing log by using recover database using backup controlfile.

Hi Yasir!
If you have all archived log, and control file backups.
Then you must follow this steps
1. Restore Standby control file;
2. Copy archived logs to a folder (/tmp/arch) or FRA
3. RMAN>alter database mount;
RMAN> catalog start with '/tmp/arch'; (or FRA)
RMAN must be cataloged all archived logs;
4. Start redo apply process for apply archived log;
5. If All archived logs applied, then you can perform failover to standby database.
It means Standby database role will change to Primary.
Do you want this?

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.
(Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)

I need help asap. Does anyone know how to recover iMovie project that just disappeared?

I went to hit play on my iMovie project, which is finished and had been playing great. this time I hit play and the screen goes black and now it appears the project is gone. The title is still under the folders section, but no clips in there. I've looked in the Trash folder on the desktop and it's not in there. I can't locate it anywhere. I spent over 100 hours on this and am devastated, as it's for work. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to recover this project? I did save as a .mov file on my external HD, which I have re-imported - however...now it's a different looking project. I can't edit it, nor can I share it in any format under the iMovie>Share tab. Help -- someone has to have some ideas...

Do you have a Time Machine backup running on your system? Backup to an earlier point in time.

How to recover deleted documents in the cloud

I am using the windows phone app. I made sure my files were saved to the cloud at adobe.com I then updated my phone and reset it. After reinstalling the adobe app by files were intact. The next day I opened the app again and it requested I sign in again. Which was odd and once I did all my files with the exception of one were gone. I don't know how this happened. I assume the cloud made an error an synced my phone to the cloud by deleting everything in the cloud except one local file. I need to know how to recover them. What's the point of this feature if my documents are so volatile?

Can you please ensure that you are viewing the documents in 'Document Cloud' tab and not 'Recent' tab?
Thanks.

How to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1

hi i am bhaskar ... how to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1 and how to restore system from a restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1.. is this option available or not ? what is the difference between shadow copies and
restore point ? instead of restore point we have this shadow copies option in windows server 2008 ?Bhaskar

AFIK, Restore Points doesn’t exist in Windows 2008.
Volume Shadow Copy option can be used to achieve:
Creating consistent backups of open files and applications
Creating shadow copies for shared folders
Creating transportable shadow copies using a hardware provider — for backup, testing and data mining scenarios
Quickly recovering and restoring files and data
It is more like a file, data, application backup.

How to Recover a Dark Picture with a Heavy Color Cast

I just posted this article about how to recover a dark picture with a heavy
color cast using Lab Color mode in Photoshop. I hope it will be helpful to
others.

None taken. I am unfamiliar with ACR and would love to see (compare) what it
could do with the sample PNG file in the article, and how much time it took.
The results I achieved in the article took only a few minutes to
complete--though as I mention below, it took more than a few minutes to get
to the point where I could do it in a few minutes.
I happened across a web site one day discussing the techniques in Margulis'
LAB Color book, which interested me enough to purchase it. I found the book
very enlightening and have seen incredible results using the techniques he
describes as applied to my various images. I've also ready his Professional
Photoshop book which focuses more on CMYK, and found many techniques in
there just as enlightening.
Ultimately the tools and techniques used are irrelevant if you get the
results you want... but if you find one that works faster, easier or better,
then certainly you should employ it.
I have no problem working in RGB, CMYK or LAB and find benefits from each.
The particular sample image I used in the article was one that I've spent
(too much) time cleaning up in various ways and in various color spaces (or
combinations thereof). It became my "poster child" image to work on as I
continue to build my Photoshop skills. The approach I used in the article
was the one I found most to be the fasted with the most effective results.
The original was a 6MP JPG file. I reduced it to the size in the article and
then worked on that size for the remaineder of the article. The resutls are
equivelant in the fullsize file.

HT5043 My daughter was taking pictures in photo booth and now all of our photos from the iphoto library appear to be missing. Any ideas how to recover them?

Does anyone know how to recover or view pictures after importing photos from photo booth? My daughter said that she was asked if she wanted to start a "new card". Is this term familiar to anyone. So sad to lose all our photos....

Sorry - what exactly was done? iPhoto and PhotoBooth have no relation to each other -
If she deleted the iPhoto libreary in error then take it out of the trash and put it back in the pictures folder - if the trash has been emptied then restore your backup of the iPhoto lbiarary - that is what backups are for - to protect against mistakes and failures

If you have no backup your only option is to perform incomplete recovery (point-in-time recovery) to the time just before the drop, export the table and then restore the database (for example, from a cold backup taken just before the incomplete recovery,) and import the table. This obviously requires a full backup
taken before the drop which you don't seem to have, so the answer is "regrettably no."
If you have a backup;
Take backup of ur current db, apply previous day backup, do point in time recovery to get table back,export table, shutdown and apply latest backup, import table back
