Queries on DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS and lost Control Files
Hi I have some queries on RESETLOGS I would be keen to hear some answers on
Q1. If I am doing a PITR and I end in ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS, what happens about any Archived Redo Log files ( still in situ ) that were from the original source database but were at a future point in time ? Are they just ignored by any future restore ( since their log sequence number will be different ? ) and eventually over written or purged out ?
Q2. When you create a new incarnation using RESETLOGS can you Flashback Database to before this ?
Q3. If I have lost all my Control Files and have not created a backup control file or done a backup to trace of the control file, can I simply restore one of the actual control files from my last backup and use RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO; or will this only work with a bonafide backup control file ( i.e. one created via ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO ‘<file spec>’; )
Q4. When I issue RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
Do I have to ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS at the end of the recovery ? I have seen this documented but I am not sure why I would need to reset the redo logs and instead simply open the database ?
Q5. If I am running the CREATE CONTROL FILE command from an ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
Do I need to use the NORESETLOGS or RESETLOGS ? How do I know which to use ?
thanks,

Suppose I restored a database and am about to recover it. I realize all control files are lost on disk as well as on tape. Prior to the database crash that needed the recovery, I have no text based control files created(as a backup using ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE). I have no copies of the binary and text based control files at all... . There are a bunch of datafiles on several disks that look like they are part of the database, but some may actually not be.
But all my datafiles that were part of the database are good copies and that's what I need to recover and do have it. How do I go about the restore ?

There are are no control files in the directory and I couldn't find them on the disk. Unfortunately, I do not have backups for dbs (this is a staging server). Is there any way we can recover those files or fix the problem ?
Could someone please help us on this?

He is not having any files in that location... not only control files, but the datafiles too.. in that case how is it possible ??? thats why I mentioned like that...
And yes, if the datafiles and redos are located in another location then we can recreate the controlfile.
But since it is a test system, I dont think there will be files in another location...
Please take it that I am not arguing with the GURUS and EXPERTS here..Well thought-out arguments are appreciated!
Perhaps the answer is to ls -l /u01/app/oracle/oradata
Maybe it's TESTDB or some for some other reason testdb really isn't the sid.
If it's a staging environment, where do things come from? If the data files are found on the staging server, but no controlfiles, perhaps alter database backup controlfile to trace on the source server might give something to work with. -
Hi
My database is running on solaris 10. database verrison is 10.2.0.3.0

after browsing google I infer that we lost control file.
I dont have it backup
how do i recover it
Thanks in advance.Do you have backup control file or auto backup control file by rman or not.
If you have backup, try recover controlfile from rman backup( you should know DBID).
Anyway If you don't have rman backup. so recreate controlfile (if you have backup control file to trace, you can use it):
1. Take a full backup of the database, including all datafiles and redo
log files.
2. Connect / as sysdba or as sys user and do a STARTUP NOMOUNT.
3. Issue the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement.

4. Perform media recovery on the database.

Cannot recover control file in Oracle10g
Dear friends ,
I have to delete my three control files for testing purpose in ORacle 10g .Before Deleting , I take a backup with control file and spfile using following way :
script :
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
backup format 'df_%t_%s_%p'
(database);}
AND OUTPUT of RMAN ,
RMAN> show all;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'C:\TEMP\ctrl_file%F';
Now when I run the restore script then it shows follwing error :

I dont know why my control files are not backed up ? can anybody plz help me ?I can't say why what you did didn't work but I can say that using RMAN is not the best way to recover lost control files.
Lets assume you have three control files located on three different drives. It is impossible to accidentally delete all three so the best solution to losing one is to shutdown the database and copy an existing one to the location where a file has gone missing and rename it to the name of the deleted file.
Failing that you should always have a script created using:
BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;I would only use the control files backed up by RMAN to create an auxiliary database such as a standby or for testing. -
I have executed the following commands as I was not sure about the control file backup :-
1) ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO '/DBJPC/control.bkp';
2)ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
could anybody tell me whether these two statements override my database's previous configuration of control file backup or not (I think yes...) ??? If yes, is there any chances of database non-availability??? Finally, is there any drawbacks to run these two commands ...Hi
>>I'm new in Oracle and using Oracle 10G Enterprise Edition (10.2.0.1.0) on Red Hat Linux 32bits OS. I worked as a J2EE developer and there is no DBA in my office right now. So, I'm working as a stop gap person.
In that case you should not think about the recovery scenario.. However you can play with your test database on your personal m/c. but before doing this please read first.
>>I cann't find whether RMAN is used for control file back up or not and that's the reason to execute those queries. Are these files (backup of control files) automatically backed up or not (I think not).
Connect with RMAN and the type the command
RMAN> SHOW ALL;
>>Lastly, in case of damage/lost control files, this command will work or not- cp '/DBJPC/control.bkp' <location of control file>;
No, It wont work.. these are the trace file format(readable) while your database control file are binary

Restore Backup control file doubt ?
when restoring backup control file why we need to set the DBID first?
Thankx..When using a recovery catalog and attempting to restore a lost control file, you encounter an error if there are other databases are registered in the recovery catalog with the same name as your target database. To resolve this error, you must uniquely identify the database by DBID for the restore operation. This requires determining the correct DBID for your database, and then using the SET DBID command to identify the target database before the RESTORE CONTROLFILE.

Lost all Control files (Want to Recover)
Hi
I have a database in archive log mode and we take a rman hot backup everyday. We are not using the recovery catalog. I lost all the control files
few days ago. I have a control file to trace and that was generated 20 days ago. This is our test database. I want to recover it. I don't know if we have
done any physical changes or not after the creation of this text file to create a control file. Database is still up and running.
Any help will be appreciated?
Thanks in AdvanceIf the control is restored from the rman backup lets say it is 3 days old, then how to update the same control file with the current database statistics.

Hi,
I'm in a problem, please some one guide me how to do it.
Our Production DB (9.2.0.1.0) is running on Solaris 9. We have a major crash of hard disk.
I have a cold backup of Sunday & now all the datafiles are in tact. Data files are in external storage.
I have lost my all of the control files.
I have restored the control file from the cold backup.
I'm able to go till mount stage & after that is throwing an error the datafiles are not in sync.
Any one can suggest how to go further to get it done.

Lost 2 of 3 Control Files for 8i - Can I recover?
I had a hard drive crash and lost 2 of my 3 CONTROL files for my 8.1.6 database. I do have a backup, but I also have a 9i database on this machine and am afraid I will have to reinstall both of them. Is there a way that I will be able to restore my database (aka rebuild the control files) from just ONE Control File?
Any help would be much appreciated. ThanksThat's the reason you have 3 control files - so that you can recover from losing one of them. In theory (and also in practice) all 3 control files are exact copies of each other. Just copy the remaining one to the location(s) where Oracle is expecting to see the other 2 controlfiles.

Hi,
i took binary backup of control file on sunday, let's assume.
on moday i added 2 new datafile and deleted 1 exist datafile.
tuesday i lost controlfile, if i use backup of controlfile which took on sunday, so what will happen for added and deleted datafile as backup of control file not having info for the same.
Please suggest some post or document for the same.
Thanks,

System altered. Upto this i was clear, but now i cann't understand when you actually dropped the control file from you database(in running stat) how can you perform "alter system checkpoint" and other "alter tablespace.." command? Once controlfile is inaccessible, oracle database is not suppose to function. -
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. -
How to recover datafile.when control file auto backup is off
hi friend
i took hot backup of my database using following command
rman>backup database;
in my case controlfile auto backup is off.
and i have lost my all controlfiles as well as datafiles except spfile.
i have recovered control file using dbms_backup_restore package.
know i am able to mount database using following command
rman> startup mount;
when i wrote following command
rman> restore database;
i got following error
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile name found to restore
enven i have backup of datbase.
can anybody tell me how to recover datafiles in this case.
thanking you
sohailhi,
I think you might have a problem here as the error from RMAN is described in the following metalink note
Doc ID: Note:100565.1
You should change you backup script to be something like
rman {
backup database include current controlfile;
do you have any earlier backups of your database?
regards
Alan
