How to remove a single Archive file

I have an archive file from April 21st, 2009 in my flash recovery area. This archive file is all by itself and i do not know how to remove it without just deleting the file. I have completed, successfully, nightly backups which removes older backups and archive files. For some reason this one file is not being deleted when the others are. I have completed a validate, crosscheck and archivelog all. It is not listed in the summary either.
I just want to know if there is a rman command to remove lost archive log files or do i just delete the file the old fashion way.

Thanks for answering.
ChicagoIf you did a crosscheck archivelog all in rman, and this file is nowhere to be seen in rman, then it's safe to remove it from OS.
If you did the opposite, that you delete from OS first and rman still has the file in list then you need to delete it from rman , a crosscheck followed by delete expired.

  • How to remove Unicode from XML file

    I get following error when unmarshal xml:
    [java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
    Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
    Thanks

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

  • How to archive multiple outlook 2007 mail folders into a single archive file?

    I just migrated a client from Eudora (yeah ... I know ;-) to Outlook 2007.
    He has previously set up a folder within Eudora for each year's worth of old mail going back a number of years.
    I'd like to archive the oldest 5 years or so of mail into a single archive, but the manual archiving function in Outlook appears to want to create a separate archive file for each mail folder. Is there a way to select multiple folders and place them in a
    single archive or must I create archives for each folder and then open them back up in Outlook and merge them?
    Sorry, I'm sure this has been answered before, but I can't find it....

    Thank you Diane!
    I applied the registy update and it the (MANUAL) archive action still picks up no files....
    But .......... I've just discovered the "other" Eudora import problem with which I'm sure quite familiar ...
    HTML formatted e-mails being "converted" to almost unintelligible plain-text format....  :-(
    This is a pretty big deal to me and worth paying up for a solution ... I found the Aid4Mail and Stellar MBOX to PST products recommended on your company's website.
    I think I will be buying one or the other of them .........
    Do you think one is superior to the other?
    The PST file on my new machine is now ~1.5Gb populated with all the folders from my old Eudora account and LOTS of hosed up HTML  --> plaintext mail
    I have the PST in operation for other functions (calendar / Todo / iPhone sync). so would like to Delete all the "old" Eudora folders leaving just   "IN" and OUT and a bit more then have
    either Aid4Mail or MBOX2PST import the Eudora mail correctly into my existing PST file but I'm not sure that's a reasonable expectation...
    In "additional" expectations ... maybe these programs would import with correct time-stamps and fix my archiving issue also  ;-)  ?
    Thanks for any input... you are without a doubt the smartest person on the planet when it comes to Outlook, I've been following your work for many years!

    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 set/get the archive file attribute?

    I am programing a (freeware!) ftp client and need to know, how to set/get the archive attribute of a local file. I was searching through whole the i-net - nothing at all!
    please help me!!

    Hi,
    Since not all operating systems support the archive attribute, this ain't included in the JDK.
    If you're using Microsoft Foundation Classes for Java, then you can use File.getAttributes(String path) and check whether the result equals FileAttribute.ARCHIVE.
    For setting the attribute, you can use
    File.setAttributes(String path, FileAttribute.ARCHIVE)
    Of course this is all Microsoft-specific stuff.
    Hope this helps,
    Kurt.

  • 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).

  • How to create a single executable file in oracle 10g

    hi all
    i am a fairly new user to oracle. i would like to know if there is any way that i can compile both the database and forms that i have created, using the oracle 10g developer suite, into a single executable file and be able to install it on another system without installing the development environment?
    can anyone please help
    thanks in advance

    Hi there
    The forum software was upgraded a few months back and many links to older content were lost.
    There are possibly a few different things you need to do. First, click Project > Skin > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show Borders" check box. That will eliminate the _skin.SWF from the mix. If you have full motion clips you may need to take other steps.
    Also note that while turning off the borders eliminates the _skin.SWF, it also has the side effect of coaxing the the playback controls up onto the main part of the presentation. If you don't like this, you need to resize the movie to make room for the playback controls to be placed into its own area.

  • How to loop through single XML File and send multiple RFC calls?

    I am looking for the best approach to use for making multiple RFC calls (can be sequential) using a single XML file of data.  I have been attempting to get a BPM loop working, but to no avail.  My RFC only accepts a single set of delivery input and I have been told to try to work with it as is.
    input xml sample:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ProofOfDelivery>
       <POD>
          <delivery_number>1</delivery_number>
          <carrier_name>UPS</carrier_name>
       </POD>
       <POD>
          <delivery_number>2</delivery_number>
          <carrier_name>UPS</carrier_name>
       </POD>
    </ProofOfDelivery>
    I need to make a synchronous RFC call for each set of POD data.
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to import Apple Mail archive files in Outlook 2013?

    I need to import Apple Mail archived files in Outlook 2013 on Windows, but every time I open the import wizard and reach the file selection step, I cannot select the archived file. It doesn't even show in the dialog box.
    I don't know what the issue is. Is it the file size issue as the archive file is large (about 7 GB) or there is any other fault?

    If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
    on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
    But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
    Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
    programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
    Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
    for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

  • Please help me out -How to share a single indd. file at the same time?

    Is there any any option for two users to work on a single indd. file at the same time. (Just like working on a shared file in Microsoft Excel).
    Note both make changes at the time on different pages.
    To save time...

    Another option, if the file is a large mupltiple page design, is to divide the document into chapters or sections. Save each section as a separate InDesign file and then combine them using a book (.indb). File > New > Book...
    Different users could edit the individual sections or chapters, and then when all is ready to go, the book can be used to package the documents, export to PDF, etc.
    Not very efficient for small documents, but it can make life easier for long documents.

  • Audio Unit Manager: How to remove references to deleted files?

    I upgraded my NI software. Replaced Guitar Rig 4 with Guitar Rig 5.
    Removed the Guitar Rig 4 components from both system and user Audio/Plugins/Components
    directories.
    The now-removed plug-ins are still showing in Logic's Audio Unit Manager. Of course they fail validation,
    and aren't used. But, leaves a messy listing, and causes other programs (Live, Kore) to also list them try to valid,
    and fail.
    Any ideas on how to remove these references??

    I would love to know this too. I have the worst plug in in the world ( Universal UVI Player) haging around my system although I removed it from all "visible' places.

  • How to remove an embedded RAW file from DNG?

    During my early phases of experimenting with Lightroom's support for DNG, I ticked the Embed RAW Image option in Preferences. Unfortunately, this meant that the resulting DNG was, compared with the original CRW, about 3 times the size. I've since ceased embedding RAW files into the DNG, so now the DNGs are roughly 10% smaller than the CRWs, which is quite a result.
    My question is: for the DNGs where I embedded the RAW image, how can I remove that image and reclaim all that wasted space?

    Use the convert to dng (yes, you can do this on dng files!) function and make sure to uncheck the embed original RAW option but keep the rest default (yes to lossless compression and make sure you have preserve RAW image instead of convert to linear set. You can do this directly in lightroom or using the dng converter app.
