Keeping CMS database and FRS backups in synch

I am in the process of upgrading to BOE XI R3.1 from CE 10 and am looking at our backup and recover plan.
We are planning on implementing 2 BOE Xi R3.1 servers with a clustered CMS. Our CMS database will be running on a remote SQL Server (2005) farm that will be immediately replicated to our secondary site using SRDF.
The FRS will be local to each BOE XI R3.1 server. We are thinking of immediately replicating the FRS from the primary location to the secondary location using DFS but I worry about the FRS and the CMS possibly being out of synch when we try to restore.
By trying to have backups up to the latest instant am I looking for trouble? if this is manageable, am I going about it the right way?
In our CE 10 deployment we have a CMS database backup at midnight and the FRS is Robocopied at 12:15. I'm just looking to improve upon this.
Thanks

Right both BOE servers will point to the FRS on the primary BOE server and the primary CMS database on the SQL server farm. Then we replicate the primary FRS to the secondary FRS located on the secondary BOE server and the primary CMS database to the secondary CMS database both on the SQL Server farm.
If we need to we'll switch the primary and secondary BOE servers to the secondary FRS (located on the secondary BOE server) and the secondary CMS database on the farm.
I guess what I'm looking for is the best practice for the backup. I think what I'm hearing is the best route to go is to have the backups as often as you want but the best way to ensure that the backups are in synch is to do them when the CMS and FRS servers are down. Otherwise they could be out of synch with report requests being executed at the same time.
Right?
Thanks again

10g rman database and archivelogs backup with multipled archlog destination

I would like to use the 10g database and archivelogs backup statetement
backup database plus archivelog;
I would like to restrict the location of the archivelogs backed out as I am multiplexing the
archivelogs
I did not find a LIKE statement and the backup database plus archivelog
Did i miss something
patrick boulay

I meant backup
I just want to restrict rman form backing up the two location using the 'one shot' 10g syntax
I used to backup using two steps
1) datafile
2) archlogs with a LIKE expression to tell Rman where to find the archlogs
1+2 with autobackup of control+spfile
the 'backup database plus archivelog ' syntax does accept a 'LIKE' expression

Duplicate database and incremental backups

Hello,
I'm currently investigating options to maintain a test server that is "relatively" up-to date compared to the production server.
This is my first contact with RMAN and I went through the manuals but as I did not have a chance to play with it I might have missed something.
This is an Oracle 11.2 (not sure about the full version number) on a Redhat Enterprise Linux.
The test server needs to be writeable and need to be re-synced with the production server approx. once or twice a month. Due to the size of the database (~600GB) we are looking into solutions that could make use of the incremental backups that are already taken on the production database.
While initiating the test server using RMAN DUPLICATE seems to be straight forward, I'm unsure on how the "syncing" can be done in the most efficient way - especially because we are changing the data on the test server.
From the description of the RMAN RECOVER command it's not clear to me if this could be used to "recover" the test database based on the incremental backups to the "current state" of the production database even if the test database has been changed. After reading some posts here, this does not seem to be the case.
Would a restore point make such an incremental restore possible? Creating a (named?) restore point right after the duplication, then once the tests are finished do a flashback to the restore point and then apply the incremental backups that have accumulated since then.
Another options seems to be to create a Standby Database. Then when performing the tests we turn the Standby Database into a Snapshot Standby Database open it in read/write and run the tests. Once we are done, we switch it back to a physical standby. That switchback will rewind the changes and the accumulated redo logs are applied thus "incrementally" catching up with production - which is essentially what we want.
Is there any other solution to this? Or is using a snapshot standby the most efficient solution? If at all possible we would like to avoid transferring the 600GB each time we want to re-sync the test database.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Thomas;
RMAN Incremental Backups to Roll Forward a Physical Standby Database might offer some help.
There's a great example of it here :
http://www.oracle-ckpt.com/?s=standby+scn&op.x=0&op.y=0
If you go the Snapshot route make sure you have the space for the Archive on both databases. Also double check you flash recovery area, again on both databases. If you have an issue you may have to use the roll forward.

Does restoring CMS Database restore AD Groups?

using BO Edge X1 3.0
I add users/groups through AD authentication. If I have a backup of the CMS database and restore on another server will the AD groups/users get restored as well?

Hi Dennis,
Yes, if you restore the CMS database, the configuration for AD, users and groups will be restored.
However, AD also requires other settings to work: SIA service account, Kerberos if you use Java Web Application server, etc.

Julian

What else does database and mail merge?

I’m a small non-profit with a small database, using Appleworks. I record contributions and send monthly mail merge acknowledgements. Appleworks does it all, including printing the address labels for those who contribute each month. I understand Lion won’t support Appleworks...and the only answer I can find is Filemaker which costs a fortune and is way overkill for what I need. Aren’t there countless organizations who keep a database and send monthly acknowledgements? How can it be there’s no other application that will do this?

Don't upgrade to Lion. It's a pretty box of tricks but it's hardly essential, and certainly not the indispensable "next step" that OS X, Tiger, Snow Leopard were. Stay where you are and run AW happily.
If you HAVE to get a new machine, demand that they install Snow Leopard on it.

Backup database and external files

We have a web application that stores files in a separate folder outside the database, we want to do real time backup (while the users are connected to the application). If we run a scheduled task to backup the database and then the files, then the database and files will be out of sync, because if the database backup takes 5 mins for instance, then we will be backing up the files that are related to some records that were not added to backup.
What is the best way to do real time backup for database and external files so that we have them both in synch?

Exclude all newer files.

Create server role for backups (BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE HEADERONLY)

Hello-
I wish to create a server role that will allow any users assigned to it to be able to issue a BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE HEADERONLY for any database on the server. I've been searching Google and MSDN but haven't had much luck. I can create the
user (CREATE SERVER ROLE backupuser;) but don't really know how to assign the permissions to it that I want. I wish to keep the permissions as narrow as possible for good practice; I could just assign the user to the sysadmin group but that shouldn't
be necessary.
If anyone can help, I would much appreciate it.

Whenever you need to find out the required permissions for a command, the best way is to look up these commands in Books Online, and to the Permissions/Securities section. This is what I always do when people asks these questions, because I rarely knows
the answer by heart.
So, let's see what the topic for BACKUP has to say:
   BACKUP DATABASE and BACKUP LOG permissions default to members of the
   sysadmin fixed server role and the db_owner and db_backupoperator fixed
   database roles
The permission section for RESTORE HEADERONLY says:
   Beginning in SQL Server 2008, obtaining information about a backup set or
   backup device requires CREATE DATABASE permission. For more information,
   see GRANT Database Permissions (Transact-SQL).
So it seems that if you want a user that has server-level rights to back up databases, this must be sysadmin, which is a little disappointing. One possibility is to package the BACKUP command in a stored procedure, which you sign with a certificate. Then
you create a login from the certiticate, and add that login to sysadmin. BACKUP accepts parameters for many of its arguments, so you don't have to build dynamic SQL. Still it is not really a satisfactory solution, since this user will have to work with
BACKUP "commands" that will be procedure calls.

Restore log and differential backups on a Publication database.

Hi, i have the following issue, i have to restore a log backup and a differential backup in a publication database, the problem is that i want to keep the publications and the subscriptions without recreate the subscriptions.
So how can i perform this goal :/ is somebody know how can i do that please let me know :D !!! thanks in advance.
In my case is a merge replication....

For merge replication you do not need to worry about the log reader agent - in fact there should not be one. Ensure that you use the keep_replication switch when doing the restore.
Note that for merge replication the subscriber will backfill the publisher with changes in the publisher which are not in the subscriber. After this is done you might want to do a tablediff, but it should not be necessary, depending on how recent your full
and differential backups were done.

Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

Stop and start database for cold backup

Hi,

cd ${DIRECTORY}
# ***** SHUTDOWN THE DATABASE *******
export oracle_sid=RCDB
srvctl stop database -d RCDB

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.

sir please give me idea how i create new database
and how create new table and view in this new database
and how get this database backup
how i give this databae backup to isp for deployment

Create your own Value Object (Data Transfer Object) in Java with a structure similar to this and map the fields returned from the database to the fields of that object (preferably using SEtT methods).
Hope this helps.

Recover database from cold backup and add ol archivelogs....

Hello!
Scenarion : I have create in 1 january cold backup of my database. I have from 1 to 4 January all archive logs generated by my database. My database gone in 4 January.
Solution question : How can i restore database using cold backup a than add info from archivelogs to recovered database to do database consist from disaster day.
Regards... Marcin

1. Kill current instance with SHUTDOWN ABORT.
2. Copy all control files and data files from your cold backup to original destination.
3. Make sure all archived redo logs from 01-JAN to 04-JAN are available in the database archive destination (LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_x).
4. Run as SYSDBA:
startup mount
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;When prompted for something like
