Inconsistenet Control Files

Hello,
I have got Oracle 9i installed in my machine. Currently due to some error or misconduct controlfiles went into inconsistent state i.e, ctrl01 is inconsistent with ctrl02. How can I solve the problem without losing any data.

Hi,
If your datafiles have higher version of SCN then your controlfiles. When this happens, as this is also one of the Backup and Recovery scenario. You need to create a trace controlfile and using this newly created controlfile, startup your database and prompted to recover the database , recover it with the following command:
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE
and then open your database with RESETLOGS option. Please revert back if you face any problem further.

  • In case of Control File Failure, Create Control File cmd how get scn?

    The following lines i picked from the
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:5033895918209
    ======================================================
    1. We can use the 'alter database rename ' at mount stage to rename any datafile. Or is it not possible to rename the system datafile like this? Why?
    2. What happens to the SCN information in the controlfile when a controlfile is recreated? How will the database sync the SCN with that of the datafiles?
    If I issue a 'backup controlfile to <file>' at 8 am and then restore that controlfile binary backup at 10 am and try to open the database, it will give me a control file old error. I understand that it is because the SCN is not in sync. But if I issue a 'backup controlfile to trace' at 8 am and use that script to recreate a new controlfile at 10 am, why doesn't I get the error? Where does it get the SCN information then?
    So what is the use of taking a binary copy of the controlfile. Looks like having a 'backup controlfile to trace' script is better than a binary backup. Do you agree? Why/whynot?
    Followup August 16, 2002 - 2pm US/Eastern:
    1) you could but I just always did it with the create controlfile statement.
    When moving system -- I do it that way
    When moving ANY OTHER tablespace -- i just offline it, move the files, rename the files online it.
    2) it just happens.
    The control file you create will read the files to figure out what is up.
    I agree, I've never used a binary controlfile backup myself.
    =========================================================
    My Question- In the Point2 above "Where does it get the SCN information and how control file do SCN Sync with data files?
    "

    1. The CREATE CONTROLFILE reads SCNs from the DataFiles. If the
    database was last shutdown, all the datafiles are "non-fuzzy" and have the same
    SCN (as of the shutdown checkpoint), If the database or some of the files are from
    are hot backup, you cannot open the database because the SCN of some files is
    older (lower) than others -- that is why a RECOVER (DATABASE or DATAFILE) is
    required.
    See http://web.singnet.com.sg/~hkchital/Incomplete_Recovery_with_BackupControlfile.doc
    2. I'm not sure I agree with Tom Kyte's response
    "I agree, I've never used a binary controlfile backup myself. "
    to the question
    "So what is the use of taking a binary copy of the controlfile. Looks like having a 'backup controlfile to trace' script is better than a binary backup. Do you agree? Why/whynot?"
    If you have lost your database (storage/filesystem failure) and all your datafiles are lost,
    you cannot simply do a CREATE CONTROLFILE from a Trace -- because the
    CREATE CONTROLFILE has to read and verify all the datafiles specified in the
    CREATE statement. If you have an RMAN Repository, you can use that to restore
    your database files but otherwise, the RMAN information about backups and backupsets
    are in the binary controlfile.
    That is why it is important to take binary controlfile backups either manually or
    using RMAN or using CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON.

  • Creation of control file

    Hi friends,
    I want to do homogeneous system copy.
    I want to know the steps in homogeneous copy, and how to create control file from source system for target system.
    And after that what activity is required .
    thanks
    Regards
    Manoj

    hi
    while doing homogeneous copy sap will do some functinalaties through one sql file I think it will take control file backup and recreate it.
    if u want to do manually
    issue command
    sql>alter database backup controlfile to trace;
    look for trace file in udump dir from that file u can recreate controlfile or rename database.
    before doing take complete cold backup of source.
    start process with sap inst
    it will do certain tasks ref in manual
    let me know if u knoe some more inputs

  • Creation of control file in Oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I had taken the backup of control file(backup control file to trace) and edited it to change the new location of the datafile.But when i try to create the Control file(Startup nomount,@cntrl.sql) it fails with the following error
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
    ORA-01276: Cannot add file

    how can i recreate it?
    Regards,

    HI,
    what are you actually trying to do...
    relocation of datafile or control file.
    if you want to relocation of data file then go through below link

  • How can i validate the data in the control file?

    Consider that the SQLLoader reads the Input data File from the path and it loads the data into the tables based up on the descrition specified in the control File.
    First, the table to be filled is created:
    create table sql_loader_1 ( load_time date, field_1 Numeric, field_2 varchar2(10)
    Sample Control File :
    load_1.ctl
    load data
    infile 'load_1.dat' "str '\r\n'"
    insert into table sql_loader_1
    load_time sysdate,
    field_2 position( 1:10),
    field_1 position(11:20)
    Note that the positions 11 through 20 are loaded into field_1 and positions 1 through 10 into field_2. The field load_time is filled with the current time (sysdate) of the load.
    Here's the data. The name of the file (load_1.dat) had been specified with the infile statement in the control file.
    load_1.dat
    0123456789abcdefghij
    foo bar
    here comes a very long line
    and the next is
    short
    Here i want to validate the field_1 (Numeric Datatype) since the data file contains the character value (i.e)abcdefghij

    Good question for this forum:

  • MAXDATAFILES in Control File differs from initSID.ora: Server v8.0.5 on HP-UX 11.00

    Maybe it's because I've never looked before, but I have never before noticed a database which has been started with a pfile containing
    "db_files = 80"
    and yet displays
    "MAXDATAFILES 30"
    when I dump the control file to trace.
    Views? and thanks up front

    Now, if it not possible to get above backup piece back, then how to proceed with restore with backup piece DF_L0_HFM11PRD_10112012_l8npv5b6_13992_1 as it also has control file backup and available on disk, not obsolete. I can understand the reason for marking CF* file as obsolete because of redundency 1. But how to proceed with restore with available backup ?

    Hello;
    I would change my configure for one :
    RMAN>CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;Would use this to check :
    list backup of controlfile completed before <date>And would catalog everything again just to be sure before starting the restore.
    You may have to catalog use the control file piece to avoid the error.
    RMAN> catalog backuppiece ...Another idea is to test the restore using something like this :
    RMAN> run {
            set until time "to_date('2012 NOV 17 07:00','YYYY MON DD HH24:MI')";
            restore controlfile preview;
          }Best Regards

  • How to delete a single data from table using control file

    I want delete a single row data from table using sql loder control file

    Edited by: 977940 on Dec 19, 2012 9:00 PMWhy?
    And how do you imagine this happening with sqlloader?
    The entire purpose of sqlloader is to load data (hence, the name sql*loader*) into a table from an external source. If you want to delete rows from a table, you use the sql DELETE statement.
    What is the business problem you are trying to solve?

  • Issue in Printing, using Bursting control file

    Hello All,
    We are using bursting control file to print and email. Email option is working fine. But when it comes to printing, it is printing "PDF file not printed. 128MB of memory is required to enable direct PDF printing" in the printout.
    We are using CUPS and below is the path we are using for printing,
    ipp://localhost:631/printers/YG_MAIN
    When we try to run the same program manually, by giving the printer name and number of copies to 1, then we are able to see the pdf output. Other normal bi publisher reports are also working fine, w.r.t that printer. We are facing this issue only when we are running xml bursting program, with print option.
    Any suggestions please..
    Here is the full bursting control file,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
    <xapi:globalData location="stream">

    </xapi:template>
    </xapi:document>
    </xapi:request>
    </xapi:requestset>

    BI Publisher bursting to CUPS printer doesn't use PASTA, so output doesn't get converted from PDF to Postscript which it does when you run it through concurrent manager.
    You can put an entry in the $XDO_TOP/resource/xdodelivery.cfg as follows (replace for your printer):
    <pre>
    <server name="MYPRINTER" type="ipp_printer" default="true">
    <uri>ipp://mycupsserver.mydomain:631/printers/MYPRINTER</uri>
    <filter>/usr/local/bin/pdf2ps -paper A4 {infile} {outfile}</filter>
    </server>
    </pre>

  • Drop a datafile from physical standby's control file

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a physical standby database for my production...
    1) I have taken cold backup of my primary database on 18-Nov-2013...
    2) I added a datafile on 19-nov-2013 ( 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF' )
    3) Standby control file was generated on 20-ov-2013 (today) after shutting down and then mounting the primary database...
    When i try to recover the newly setup standby using archive files, i am getting the following error (datafile added on 19th Nov is missing)
    SQL> recover standby database;
    ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
    ORA-01110: data file 39: 'O:\ORADATA\SFMS\SFMS_DATA4.DBF'

    How to overcome this situation...
    Can i delete the entry for the newly added datafile from the backup control file ?

    Hi,
    What is your version?
    If you added new datafile or created new tablespace, take backup again for restore new created standby database.
    If your standby  database running well, DG configuration success, then this datafile will create on standby side, too.
    Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT=AUTO best practice.

    Not need any delete datafile from standby side, you must recreate standby database, or you can  take RMAN backup and restore to standby  side again.

    It is not logical, Physical  standby must be bit-for-bit same with Primary  database.

  • Unable to load Site Control File

    Hello,
    The background :
    I am in the process of learning how to create a Management Pack for a distributed application in SCOM 2012 R2.</p><p>For this, I picked our SCCM Site server to use as an example. So, in short, am writing a management pack for SCCM 2007 Discovery.
    I know a management pack might already exist. I am trying to learn by using an architecture I'm familiar with so I need to create this from scratch.
    In order to discover SCCM Site installed on a server, I decided to use the SMS WMI namespace. By reading the
    SMS_ProviderLocation Instance, I am able to detect if the server has SCCM Site installed on it.
    My next step was to find out where the SMS database is hosted. I found
    ROOT\SMS\site_ABC\ namespace contains an instance of SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition where I can find the database name and server name which I can use to discover the other components of a distributed application.
    The problem :
    When I run the query Select * from SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition I get a generic error 0x80041001.
    More Information reveals the following:
    error description : " Unable to load site control file "
    error code : " 2160198400 (0x80c20300) "
    file name : " c:\qfe\nts_sms_fre\sms\siteserver\sdk_provider\smsprov\sspsitecontrolextractor.cpp "
    Now, I cannot find the QFE folder anywhere. The SCCM Site is working fine and the site_control_manager component has no errors. I can launch the SCCM console on that server without any errors and the site status messages do not contain any errors.
    Can someone please help me out with "detecting" an installed instance of SCCM site server using WMI? Is the above error cause for worry for the SCCM part of my brain?
    Thanks in advance for your guidance!

    Thanks for your response Don!
    The SMS_Site instance does not provide information of the database server and database name.
    The funny thing is when I browse use wbemtest to connect to root\SMS\site_XXX and enumerate classes, i do not find
    the SMS_SCI_SiteDefinition. 
    I find it when i enumerate recursively and can browse into the values. I'm not sure how could build a query against this now.
    Can anybody with a test instance of SCCM 2007 check this and let me know please?
    Everything you are looking for exist within WMI. You can use the documentation script as an example to get what you are looking for.

    Hi,
    Sorry, my mistake, I did not pay attention to the cloning part.
    For this error, looks like the database was not cleanly shutdown before copying the files or that preclone was not run successfully. You will have to run preclone again, and shutdown the database normally, then copy the file again.
