HOWTO cold backup for Apps 11i?

Can anyone please provide me any documentation or tips on how to do a coldbackup on Apps 11i DB 9.2.0.
Chase

a cold backup means you shutdown the database and make a os backup of the database.
For an 11i database is works the same. If you want to do ot nicely, you also stop all the application processes, like forms, web, fndfs....

  • Using Cold Backup for a 42GB database

    I plan to have a Cold backup for a 42GB db (v 8.1.6). Since it's size is quite large, i am not sure how to back it up quicker.
    I did a trial copy for a 3GB file, it took almost 9 hours to finish.
    Please help!!!
    Thanks a lot :)

    I did a trial copy for a 3GB file, it took almost 9 hours to finish.Wouaw, what is your network ?
    You can copy the files in local, restart db, and move files on an other drive trough network, like this, the service is not down for a long time.

  • Rman cold backup for oracle rac

    Hi experts;
    I want to create a cold backup for an oracle 10g rac DB.
    It has 2 nodes, it's not in archive log, this will be the next step.
    But now, I want to backup before to proceed.
    My doubts are:
    I need to shutdown the both nodes?
    If yes:
    I need to startup nomount just in one node?
    If there any document with this specifics steps?
    Thanks for your help.
    Al

    Cold backups are done with the DB completely shut down.
    For RAC the data files are used by all nodes in the cluster.
    You need to shut down all instances in the RAC.
    Then use your OS utilities or RMAN to do the backup.
    Here is an 'Ask Tom' topic that discusses this:

  • Cold backup for dataguard dbs

    There is request to take cold backup of primary & standby db , i am New to dataguard backups, Should i take backup of only primary db or both?

    Yes apps owner is insisting to take cold backup of both db this weekend(they are patching apps), and here are the step i had in mind to do that to stop , primary & llogical standby dbs , take cold backups ( scripts, usermanaged backups, dont have rman there) & start the dbs.
    On standby db
    SQL > set numformat “999999999999999”
    SQL > select newest_scn,applied_scn from dba_logstdby_progress ; (both should match)
    SQL > select thread#,sequence#,applied from dba_logstdby_log;
    SQL> select sequence#, status from v$archived_log;( on primary) Both sequence# should match
    on primary db
    SQL > alter system switch logfile ;
    SQL > alter system archive log current ; ( to make sure current transactions come thru)
    check tail of alert log of standby to make sure these redologs shipped & mined
    standby db
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY; (stop SQL Apply)
    SQL> shutdown immediate;
    Lsnrctl stop listener_corp_remrpt-haprimary db
    SQL > shutdown immediate ;
    Lsnrctl stop listener_corp_remprd-ha
    Dont shutdown abort for any case, if both dbs are going down, first stop SQL apply on standby, take primary down and then take standby down)
    Startup
    primary
    SQL>startup;
    Lsnrctl start listener_corp_remprd-ha
    Standby
    SQL > startup
    SQL > alter database start logical standby apply immediate ;
    Lsnrctl start listener_corp_remrpt-ha

  • Developer tools for Apps 11i

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Oracle Apps 11i on Oracle Linux. I am using this installation to learn about Oracle applications and in particular HRMS.
    Now I would like to install the Oracle developer tools (Forms, Reports, SQLPLUS, etc) on a windows PC so that I can access the 11i installed database (I believe version 9i Oracle enterprise 9.2.0.6.0).
    I have the following questions
    1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?
    2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10g
    3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?
    4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?
    5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?
    I have spent about 3 hours looking up information about what to install and with the different versions, etc it is a bit confusing.
    I am not a dba, so my knowledge is not extensive.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Steve

    1. Is there a single install that would install all the tools on the PC?Oracle Developer 6i
    2. Since the database is 9.2.0.6.0, should i install the 9i version of the tools or should i go straight to 10gYou are looking for a development tool, so you need to download/install Oracle Developer 6i (which has nothing to do with the database version).
    3. Which tools should i be installing and is there a link for downloading them?Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP

    4. Do i need to install oracle client 9i?No.
    5. Do i need to install anything on the server side (oracle linux) for the tools to work? and are there any links to installation instructions?You need to register your host through OAM or disable the SQLNet restriction so that you can connect to the database.

    Can you provide me information what should I include in my backup script?
    e.g we have done some customized reports so we need to include that also into backup
    So in case for hard disk failure we do not loose customization!!!.
    e.g RDBMS Oracle Home , APPL_TOP

    Chirag, all the files should be located under the directories listed above by John. Even for custom objects (forms, reports, packages, ..etc).
    I want to map all required directory into one folder then I just include that one
    folder into my backup scriptWhy would you need to include it all in one folder? Once you get the directory structure of your Application you can simply include all the root directories in your backup script.

  • Hardware Requirement  for APPS 11I and R12

    Hello experts,
    i want to purchase new laptop for practice oracle 11i or r12.
    please suggest me what should harware requirement, mainly processor and operating system.
    as i want to buy I3 processor with window 7 4 gb ram. 500 gb hard disc.
    but my frnd told me that apps do not work with window7.
    thanks
    yash

    I would not recommend installing 11i at this time and your choice would be R12 (12.1.1) -- You may upgrade to 12.1.3 later if you want.
    For the hardware specifications, please make sure you have at leave 8 GB RAM.
    For the disk space, the total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 85 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 233 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. For the stage area directory (where you will run the installer from), you need at least 47 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area.

    I need to put a quick policy backup ... and cold
    backup it's what I use and it works.And reduces the availability of your cluster.
    The problem about RMAN is that we never use it. I
    have to learn about it to make scripts to test....
    and this will tack me 2 or 3 days...I'd assume that installing RAC didn't go overnight, so why underfund the crucial part of any database system, the backup?
    There's even a step by step guide for backup on the Getting Started: DBAs page.
    Samples (and changes) on the latest version of RMAN can be found for example in RMAN Enhancements.
    Or take a look at this Oracle Magazine article:Faster Backup, Faster Recovery
    Backup and Recovery Basics in the user documentation may also be a good starting point.

  • Database hangs in shutdown immediate for cold backup

    Dear experts ,
    we have scheduled cold backup for our database.
    is there any solution to resolve below mentioned errors other than RMAN hot backup or shutdown abort ?

    SHUTDOWN: Active sessions prevent database close operation
    Instance shutdown aborted

    Hi,
    should we daily kill these processes with LOCAL=NO
    what is proposed solution in such cases ?
    is it not harmful for OS or database to kill these processes daily ?Yon can create shell script to find kill session only when you find active calls in your database alert log. You need not have to kill it on daily basis.
    Refer MOS tech notes for more details:

  • Oracle R12 12.1.3, how to make cold backup

    Hello guys
    After a month long efforts, I was able to deploy the 12.1.3 templates successfully and the full vision instance is accessible without any technical hickups. I have setup VM Server 3.1.1 and VM Manager 3.1.1 using Oracle VirtualBox. The application is running on a two node structure now and I would like to take cold backups for both apps and database tier, later merge them to a single node and move to Oracle Linux 6.2/6.3 so that I could take it around in my laptop for demonstration purposes (We are on 12.0.4) right now and dwelling the possibilities of migrating to 12.1.3)
    regards,
    raj

    I already have two node application R12 (12.1.3) structure, now what I want is
    I want to take a cold backup of application tier, and database tier.
    Then move the backup to a new server and setup a single node, which will be on Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.2
    So, basically I want to know how to take a cold backup and then setup a new server with the backup.You can use any of the commands mentioned in this link -- http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/os-backup-commands.php
    You might also use rcp/scp.

    Please note for cold backup you will need to shutdown the application/database properly (clean shutdown).

  • Differences between Headstart Oracle Designer and Headstart for Apps

    Hello,
    I would like to know where i can find an online demonstration of the product "Headtsart for Apps 11i" ?
    I have found the online demonstration of the product "Headtsart Oracle Designer" at the url :
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/headstart/headstartdemo_viewlet.html
    I would like to compare the functionalities of these two products (the tabs option for example).
    For a new application, we have the choice between "Headstart for apps"+"Oracle Application" environment or "Headstart Oracle Designer" alone.
    If no demonstration exists, could you tell me the difference between these two products (i have understood that one run under OA and the other run alone) ?

    Hi,
    Headstart for Apps and Headstart Oracle Designer are based on the same idea, and therefore there are many similarties between the two. The main differences are:
    * the look and feel
    Headstart for Apps is used to generate Oracle Form screens with the same look and feel as a standard Oracle Application screen. Headstart Oracle Designer has its own look and feel.
    Headstart for Apps also enables/eases some Oracle Applications specific look and feel features (although Headstart Oracle Designer has also adopted some of these).
    * dependency of Oracle Applications
    Forms generated with Headstart for Apps cannot run outside the Oracle Applications framework. You will use the same security mechanism as for an Oracle Applications form, the same messaging system, and you can use the standard Oracle Applications built ins.
    Headstart Oracle Designer runs completely outside the Oracle Applications framework, there is a separate messaging system, and you cannot use the Oracle Applications built ins.
    Hope this helps!

  • Build standby database using cold backup on a different file system & host

    Hi gurus,
    The database version is 11.2.0.3. OS is HP UX Itanium 11.31
    I am building a standby database using cold backup of primary. The primary mount points are (/p003/oracle, /p004/oracle) on HOST1 and the standby file system on HOST2 are (/s003/oracle,/s004/oracle). I am not using Data Guard to apply logs as we have a script that mounts the log location periodically to standby server and apply the logs to make it current. I am using cold backup as the database is small like 200G and can be taken down. Could someone help me with the steps to build standby using cold backup for a different file location in standby ?? My concern is I can copy the data files from /p003 to /s003. How will I build the controlfile ?
    If it was same File system on both HOST 1 and HOST2 I can copy the cold backup to the standby server, build a standby control file on primary and copy and replace the standby control file and everything was set.
    Thanks

  • Cold backup using script

    Dear all,
    I need a script to take cold backup of oracle database 10.2.0.3.0 .. such that if todays date is 28-oct-08.. then a folder with the name 28oct08 to be created in the backup location.then using the script user should login to the database shutdown the db and listener and make sure this is completely down and copy the complete oracle files and home location to the above mentioned folder in the server.. any links or points will help a lot ?
    Kai

    Kai, rather than write a script to perform a cold backup for whatever platform you are on I suggest you write a script to generate the cold backup script. The script can connect to the database, read various v$ and dba views such as dba_data_files to get the necessary data file information, and place the file names into OS copy commands. The resulting script should probably include steps to connect to and stop the database and to restart the database instance when it is complete.
    Be sure to include a copy of your control file and the spfile in your backup. You do not need to include the online redo logs in your manual cold backup.
    An alternate might be to run an rman backup while the database is in restricted session depending on how freely your site has given out the DBA role and/or restricted session privilege.

  • Database cloning using cold backup

    Hello Guys,
    I am doing cloning of a database from cold backup for testing, actully one datafile has been croupted, so my issue is that, can i exclude tht datafile from controlfile when creating the controlfile and is that poosible that controlfile will created sucessfully and database will open sucessfully.
    Please reply.
    Thanks

    @asif, @ckpt
    With humble, how all you know that corrupted datafile is not belonging to system and undo tablespace? If this case, then do you think we can restore that corrupted cold-backup ? Sorry, but this is not the way to just start providing help without asking OP :
    1.Current Oracle Version ?
    2.Where he want to restore i.e. restoring platform info Oracle version OS ?
    3.After cold backup how he came to know that one datafile is corrupted ?
    4.When and how datafile became corrupted ?
    5.How he taken cold backup ? Was db running fine just before shut immediate for cold backing ?
    6.What he has done so far to restore the cold backup ?
    7.What error he is getting right now ?
    Here problem is corrupted datafile. So, first let come problem clear from OP, ask all missing question in one go, and then start helping is the right way... (my personal opinion, may be wrong!).
