How to test restore in another server?

Hi,
I want to test full backup (hot backup using RMAN) of my DB (11.2 SE) on another server (I didn't install DB on yet).
Saad,

to test the backup -which is done by third party softwareHow you restore really depends on how you backup the database !
Without knowing how the backup is done it would be incorrect to advice a single method to test restoration.
Nevertheless, you need to start with an installation of Oracle software (RDBMS, Binaries) on the new test server. You would have to install the same Oracle RDBMS Release and Version as the one that is running in your production server (where the backup was taken). If the third party software incorporates media management libraries, you'd need to install and configure them as well. Thereafter, the restore command depends on how the backup is done.

Not to mention that some FTP servers can return more than one return message per operation whereas others may return one message for the same operation.I had the problem using the LIST command to determine if a file exists on the server. Cannot be determined via the FTP server's return code. Which means parsing and checking the text response from the server to the command. And this vary from server to server.
But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.

How to use XML on another server?

I need help figuring out how to consume XML from another
domain. It's a domain that is providing search functionality for a
website. The domain indexes my site, and I can "post" searches to
an URL with my search terms URL-escaped. It returns an XML
document. I want to use Spry to consume that XML.
I'm pretty experienced consuming XML and using it in Spry
pages, but to date have not done anything that crosses domains. I
will have access to Perl on the production box that hosts my site,
with a remote chance that I could get PHP enabled. This is a public
web server for a very very large financial company, so my choices
of what can go on a production server outside our firewall are
limited by corporate policy.
What are the basic steps that need to happen? Can someone
bullet-point how this might work from one end to the other? I have
the basic theory down of what needs to happen, but not much else at
this point.
Here is what I understand:
1 - user fills in search form and hits enter
2 - form posts to a Perl script on my box
3 - Perl takes the form variables and appends them to a URL
request to the 3rd party search domain
4 - 3rd party search company returns an xml file
5 - not sure what Perl needs to do here with the xml so that
my HTML page with Spry can read it....it does something, let's just
say
6 - Perl writes out a page, based on a template in my site
that then consumes the XML that is somehow available on my domain
now...
This raises so many questions...like if I save the results
XML on my server, how do I get rid of them after they are consumed
and also how do I prevent other sessions from accessing that "saved
copy" of XML...I know I'm thinking wrong here. That can't be how
it's done...Hence...my question about all this.
Where do I start?
Thanks,
Doug

Database Restore on another Server

Could someone please explain to me (or point me in the right direction) the procedure (How-To) on how to restore a database to another server?
please understand I'm just learning oracle and this is all new to me.
e.g., I have good backups of a database. I restore those database files (control files, dbf, redo logs) to another server. What are the steps in bringing that database up online on a different server?

How to test a new SQL Server installation

Hi,
We are in the process of consolidating several database on a single SQL Server instance.
We first installed a test server and we want to use this installation as the base for our production server.
I checked:
- the server collation is the one required SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
- services are running: SQL Server Database engine, Analysis services, Report Services, Integration Services are running
I identified the following problems:
- SQL Server Agent is not running and I can not start it from the services panes of the computer management
- When I want to connect to SQL Server Integeration Services from SQL Server Management Studio I get a pop up error message:
failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
acces is denied
What else should I check?
We are a small team and I am new to database administration, every advice is appreciated.

And make sure to configure all the basic configuration as per the requirment... few of them is below... there might be many but its all upto you and your business requirments...
Memory
Backup compression
Error Log
Securit, logins, aduiting ( Minimum failed and successful logins )
Ports ( Static or dynamic -- Named Instance )
Default location of the data,log(ldf),backup -- If you have missed this at the time of installation.
authentication mode
disable or change the SA password ( Enforce password policy )
Service packs and hot fixes, CU's
Configure all the required basic maintenance jobs
SQL Service accounts or MSA in case of standalone hosts Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 or later ..

https://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992?wa=wsignin1.0
Change the databases compatibility level after restoring in new server
rebuild the index and update the stats once after restoring it in new server.
Most importantaly review the setup log once after the complete installation.. and sql error log, eventlog..

How to test swf on another computer

I created a fla with a little bit of action script to test
our new FMS3 server. I use Adobe CS3 on a MAC. Everything works
fine, the server sees the client etc. When I try to open the same
file on another computer (Windows) I only see the buttons for pause
and play, but no video/audio. What is wrong?

Unless I am not supposed to be able to open the file by
double clicking the html file that was created when I published the
fla? I thought I was supposed to put the swf in the web server, the
web guy is to embed it in his html. I just thought if I double
clicked it that was a way to test it from a computer that didn't
actually create it.

RMAN restore to another server - step by step

I have hot backups on tape, with catalog.
I have a prod database and a auxiliary database, but their names are the same..
I need to know the steps to perform a restore to auxiliary database´s machine (same plataform).
I´m doing the folowing for test purpose (the auxiliary database is in nomount state).
1) on AUXILIARY machine: rman target rman/pwd@PROD auxiliary sys/pwd
2) restore controlfile to 'c:\teste' from autobackup;
But, the controlfile was restored on PRODUCTION database´s machine.
Why?!
TIA
Rogério

Thanks for your help Kuljeet.
But i still have the same problem: if the *Backup must be available on new host" i need to restore to the new host. My problem is: I don´t know to do that using RMAN (my backup is in tape). In all my tests, the backup (controlfile) was restored to the target database´s host. If I try to restore the whole database, the target database will be overwrite. (Sorry for my english).
1) Where I connect to rman: in target database´s machine, in auxiliary database´s machine, etc? I think is in auxiliary database´s machine
2) How to connect? rman target user/pwd@database catalog user/pwd@database auxiliary sys/sys OR rman target user/pwd@database auxiliary sys/sys OR other?
Thanks

Advise on restoring to another server

Hi all.
I have the following scenario for an Oracle 10g DB SEO enviroment.
1) Production server: Oracle Linux Update 5, Oracle 10g Database. Database in archive mode. Archive with two archive destination: USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST and an alternate archive destination which will currently be a directory mounted through NFS.
2) Recovery Server: this server will have identical SO and DB version, but will be used in case production server fails. This server will hold a copy of the archive of production server.
In case production server fails, i'd like to be sure if this recovery procedure is feasible:
1) Restore a cold backup from production server to recovery server.
2) Recover the database from the most recent cold backup and apply of logs to cold backup up to just before failure. To do this one must:
2.1) Rewrite newest version of control and redolog files from production server: assuming you can actually access.
2.2) Start mount and recover database applying all required archive and redolog.
Please advise on this scenario. Is this possible? Am i missing something?

Look around on the intertubes for standby database scripts. Before dataguard, this was very common. There used to be a failover and failback whitepaper (maybe in the 8i timeframe?), but that may have disappeared in favor of more modern ways.
It used to be you could avoid double licensing by not bringing up the standby more than so many days a year or something like that, but I think nowadays you may be stuck. Check for current official policies.

After insall'g SAP can a backup be restored from another server?

I have installed SAP onto Server B, and would like to use a backup (third part vendor 'commvault') created by commvault on server A, to restore to Server B.
The SIDs are the same, and the same CDs were used to install SAP, the ONLY differneces are the IP addresses and the Server names
Will this work?
Maria

Hi Maria,
If the server names are different then, you cannot restore a backup.
In this case you have do a system copy.
Please go through sap help site for more details on system copy.

How to test status of email server with utl_smtp package

Hi All,
I plan to use the "maildemo" codesamples here at OTN (with due credit). I have to modify the package such that when I am trying to send an email I should be able to know the success/ failure of the transmission. How can I add this method to the package. How to determine using UTL_SMTP package the status of the mail server.
I understand it returns "ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available" error message if the mail server is invalid ( to simulate the down condition).
Can anyone help me on this please.
Thanks in advance,
Sudhindra

You can write an exception handler. In the simplest form:
begin
v_conn:= utl_smtp.open_connection(v_smtp_server, 25);
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20010,'Not able to connect');
end;
Or you can catch the specific error you are looking for only.

Filter List View by User and Groups in SharePoint Does Not Work on site Restore to another Server

We have a scenario where users from a group or seeing items of list views entered by users of other group.
For e.g, we have (ALL are Active Directory users and are authenticated as such)
GROUP A with USER-A1, USER-A2, USER-A3
GROUP B with USER-B1, USER-B2, USER-B3
GROUP C with USER-C1, USER-C2, USER-C3
We created views called
GROUP_A_VIEW
GROUP_B_VIEW
GROUP_C_VIEW
We created a web part for each of this view
And from Advanced Settings, added Target audience for each VIew with respect. For e.g. if Target AUdience is Group A, then USER-A1 will see items entered by himself or USER-A2, and USER-A3 but not the mbers of GROUP_B and GROUP_C
It works fine on the our development machine.
However when we backup and restore to other machine containing the same Active Directory users,
GROUP A members are seeing records entered by GROUP B
GROUP B members are seeing records entered by GROUP C
GROUP C members are seeing records entered by GROUP D
....etc.
Any help will be appreciated.
Murali Boyapati

Groups and users are stored locally in a cache on each site collection. Within that site collection they have IDs assigned which are used internally to identify those groups.
What is probably happening is that the groups you've targeted are being identified by IDs which are not consistent between your source site collection and your destination collection.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 Databases - Restore to New Server

We will soon be replacing an old server with a new server and I need to restore all Oracle 10.2.0.3 databases to the new server
and ensure Oracle functionality/connectivity with all databases.
I am in the process of testing and need advice and hopefully a 'Step by Step' process I can follow.
I am a systems admin - not an Oracle db admin - so please explain details of any commands I may have to run.
I have already tested once:
ran command prompt: sqplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Stopped all Oracle services:
Oracle Database
Oracle Listener
Oracle DBConsole
Installed Oracle 10.2.0.3 on new server
Ensured that the SID and all other Oracle services information matched the old server during installation on the new server.
Stopped all Oracle services on the new server (used the steps above).
Backed-up and test restored to new server.
Enterprise Manager shows: Listener Up Database Instance Down Agent Down
Any help would be appreciated

It would be good to know your operation system. I hope both new and old match or similar.
You can use RMAN to dumplicate you DB so you can follow [Creating a Duplicate Database on a New Host. Doc ID: 388431.1|https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=388431.1]
but a simple file system copy based manual duplication is also possible if new and old OS system is similar...
