Need some suggestion doing database backup

I have 5 databases in these three severs and having around 20 GB of size except one database. The size of the this database (ccoreqal2) is 7.5 TB. I have took the full database backup using expdp for all DB's except the BIG size DB. i am not able to use the expdp because of the size. Which way is best to do the backup for this big size DB.
The purpose of taking the backup is, we are upgrading our oracle to 11.2.0.3 and We don't have any regular backups (RMAN or EXPORT) on these databases. these are QA databases.
Please let me know, how i need to prepare for this DB backup.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Why not? You can have expdp create multiple files on export so that each file is no larger than the size you specify. This makes it easier to manage large exports.
Using multiple files and a parallel export will handle this for you.
See the DUMPFILE section of the database utilities doc - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_export.htm
It has this example of file splitting using PARALLEL
>
Example
The following is an example of using the DUMPFILE parameter:
expdp hr/hr SCHEMAS=hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=dpump_dir2:exp1.dmp,exp2%U.dmp PARALLEL=3
The dump file, exp1.dmp, will be written to the path associated with the directory object dpump_dir2 because dpump_dir2 was specified as part of the dump file name, and therefore overrides the directory object specified with the DIRECTORY parameter. Because all three parallel processes will be given work to perform during this job, the exp201.dmp and exp202.dmp dump files will be created and they will be written to the path associated with the directory object, dpump_dir1, that was specified with the DIRECTORY parameter.

    Hi,
    BAPI is nothing but a function module and also RFC enabled. So u can call that fm from outside SAP. U can call that BAPI using some logic or u can make hardcoding the parameters, its depends mainly on ur requirement.

  • Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for editing, excel,power point presentation

    Hello friends recently shifted from windows to mac need some suggestion on which software to go ahead with for creating word editing, excel,power point presentation.

    Only Microsoft's Office for Mac 2011 14.4.8 will work on your Windows Office files in their native document format. Anything else, and particularly Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will perform translation on open, and export. This can, and will, introduce differences to your original documents, especially when sharing with others in the Windows Office 2010/2013 applications.
    Here is my short list.
    Office for Mac 2011 v14.4.8
    LibreOffice (latest)
    The current iterations of Apple's Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are not what I would term business/professional grade applications. Apple updates them infrequently, ignores user friendly features, omits others, and has introduced default backwards incompatibility between Yosemite and prior OS X releases of these applications. Read the reviews in the OS X App Store. Even for free with a recent Mac purchase, these products will transform your mood.
    The free LibreOffice is aggressively developed and designed as an MS Office replacement suite. There are occasions where it can open documents that Office for Mac, and Apple's products ignore. Extensive PDF manuals for the individual applications. Unlike Word, you can have two-up page viewing with a button click, or edit multi-page PDF. There is a forms designer. It can open nearly any document including MS Publisher and Visio documents from the Windows space. I use it.
    MS Office 2015 Preview for Yosemite is available, but as its title would suggest, it is not done yet, and some features are missing. I created a single-page Word document with a DRAFT watermark. Only LibreOffice v4.4.1 was able to open this document and preserve the watermark.

  • Need some suggestions in writing package..

    Hi everyone,
    I am just asking this question to know a better way than what i am doing.
    I have a patient with 2 million rows in it.Is it possible to extract 2 million rows in a text file using UTL_FILE?.I need to extract each patient related data which comes from differnt tables (bigger than patient table) in a comma deleted file.For each patient id i have to query other tables and get the data related to that patient(according to the requirement).For that i need to call different functions against different tables.
    Some think like this..
    Create or replace procedure XXXX
    cursor -----> to get the patient id's
    variables ------> declare any other variables
    begin
    file handler for utl file to write into a file
    open cursor
    using bulk collect to fetch limited no of rows
    For each patient id loop
    data1 := function1
    data2 := function2
    data3 := function3
    string : = data1|| data2 || data3|| ....
    UTL_FILE.put_line
    reset the string
    end loop;
    end;
    My questions are:
    Is it OK to call differnt functions for each patient id (2 million patients) are there? is there any better way to do this.
    Please give me some suggestions if i need to change any steps that i am following to get better performance.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    It would be strongly advisable to minimise your function calls here.
    What I would suggest is: writing one piece of SQL to be looped through with BULK COLLECT, so these:
    data1 := function1
    data2 := function2
    data3 := function3Will be taken care of in the main SQL. Otherwise things will be very, very slow.
    Therefore, something like this:
    BEGIN
    DECLARE CURSOR c_all_data IS
                        SELECT -- put all your data to be retrieved in this SELECT, that will easily be the quickest and most efficient
                                     FROM tab1
                                     JOIN tab2 ON (...
    v1,v2,...
    BEGIN
       OPEN c_all_data;
       LOOP
           FETCH c_all_data BULK COLLECT INTO v1, v2, ....... LIMIT 1000;
           FOR i IN 1 .. v1.COUNT
           LOOP
                --write to your file
                UTL_FILE...
           END LOOP;
           EXIT WHEN c_all_data%NOTFOUND;
       END LOOP;
       CLOSE c_all_data;
    END;

  • I need some suggestions on what type of dock to buy for my iPod Touch 4 that would be combatable with it.

    I use to have a JBL dock for my iPod Touch 4 but it no longer works with it.  I seem to be having some problems finding a dock that would work with a iPod Touch 4.   All I want is a good dock with stereo sound and that is chargable and would also have an adaptor so I won't have to use batteries but one with batteries will do if that's all I can find.  I don't need one that has a radio and a clock with it.  One that probably doesn't go over 100.00.  Would like some suggestions from anyone please?   Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies. I have finally found a definitive answer on the Microsoft website (after a few days of virtual digging).

    And I quote for the benefit of everyone else looking for the same answers:
    "While RDS is shipped with Windows Server software, it is licensed separately through a Client Access License (CAL) model. This means that each accessing end point (i.e., a User or a Device) must be covered by an RDS license to access Microsoft VDI infrastructure.
    And this CAL is an additive CAL, which means that in addition to a Windows Server CAL, customers must acquire a Windows Server RDS CAL for each user or device that:
    - Directly or indirectly accesses any of the RDS product functionality, and/or
    - Directly or indirectly interacts with the graphical user interface of the server software using RDS functionality or other third-party technology
    For example, to access RDS functionality in Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 CALs and Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs are required along with the server software licenses."

  • Need some suggestion​s for creating a software based digital I/O counter

    Hi All
    I've been using LabVIEW to sucessfully create a number of fluid level monitoring applications for oil well drilling. bear in mind that I'm a geologist not a software engineer so you may have to talk/type slowly .
    I've been using the USB 6009 & 6008 for these aplications so far, they are however limited by only having 1 counter per DAQ. What i'd like to do (if possible) is use the some of the digital I/O channels as counters. The events i'm attempting to count are simple open/closed pulse signals from a micro switch. The micro switch is attached to a slow running mud pump which is sending up to 3 pulses per second but is usually running at 10-80 pulses per min. The slow cycle rate of these big pumps means I can't use a frequency aplication as they don't seem to work below 1hz.
    I've tried to use a case structure to create a counter but I'm afraid I can't seem to get the logic right to turn the output into a counted output. Anyone got a suggestion for things I could try?
    Thanks
    Kim

    Kim,
    Tttt yyyy pppp iii nnn gggg slowly.
    You described your situation quite clearly.
    As you probably know the digital inputs on the USB-6008/9 are software timed, so you have some uncertainty in the time of any sample.  Depending on your OS that uncertainty will typically be on the order of a few milliseconds but occasionally may be much longer.
    To count the pulses in software requires a combination of several things.
    1. You need to have a data acquisition method which is fast enough to capture each high and low state of the pulses produced by the pump.  For software timed Digital Input a good way to do this is to have an independent, parallel loop which reads the input line rapidly and passes the data or transitions to another loop via a queue.  This is known as the Producer loop in a Producer/Consumer architecture.  Examples come with labVIEW. A 10 ms Wait in the loop is probably appropriate.
    2. You need to convert the digital inputs (levels) into pulses or transitions to be counted.  Suppose you want to increase the count by one every time the logical level changes from False to True. To do this you need to know the previous level and the current level. A shift register is one of the best ways to do this in LV.  Add a shift register to the loop.  Initialize it to False. Connect the result of the Digital Read to the right terminal of the shift regsiter inside the loop.  When that Read is True and the previous value (obtained from the left terminal of the shift register) is False, increment the count value (which is also kept in a shift register) in the case structure.
    3. You did not indicate what you are doing with the counts or what the pulses represent.  Do you need to measure the frequency (or the period which is the reciprocal of the frequency)?  Do you need to accumulate the number of pulses? Over what time period?

  • IMac dead, need some suggestions

    I have the intel based iMac that I purchased late oct 2006. Was having problems with it 6 months ago, they looked at it and decided to install a new logic board and a new hard drive. Sunday the computer was on and when I went back to use it, it was off and now won't turn on at all, no lights, no dings, nothing. I will call Apple Care tonight and have an appointment tomorrow but does anyone have any suggestions as to anything I can do to try and resolve this? At the very least I want to get my data off of it, I read that it's possible to take out the hard drive assuming it still works and put it in an enclosure and get the info that way.
    Assuming it is the logic board again what are the odds they will fix it? I am 3 weeks out of Apple Care and I guess replacement parts only have a 3 month warranty. It seems a little ridiculous that a new part would fail 6 months later and I have no course of action.
    Just looking for some help and any personal experiences with this problem.
    Thanks

  • Need Some Suggestions-JSP-ORACLE

    Hi Friends,
    This is about improving the response time of the JSPs. I mean I have to display data from a table through a JSP page. The Queries are very heavy. Each time the jsp page is accessed by the user, a database intensive query is executed , which inturn fills the result set and which is further used by the JSP to display the Report/Data of the Result Set. There is one thing that the data is likely, to show a change only once in a period of a Day that is 24 hours. So I believe it is going to be a very intensive operation. Because my JSP has at least 12 links and each link means 12 intensive Queries. SO it means that if I click at a link a Query gets executed (Everytime a click is made) and data is displayed.(The Same Data my get Queried again and again).
    I think Since the Data changes only once in a Day(24 hours).How do I handle this situation without going into one SQL Execution per click of a link kind of Situation.
    Which in turn Reduces the Response time of the JSP to a great extent.
    And I guess makes the process inefficient also. Also toubling tha Database.
    Please Help me with a Way out of it.
    Thanks

    Well, I think you landed in the wrong forum, but being the friendly bunch that we are, I'll make a suggestion or two.
    First, have you tuned your queries at all? What does the tkprof output look like?
    If your queries are all "tuned", you might look into materialized views that you refresh with a job on a nightly basis. Keep in mind that you can, and likely should created indexes on materialized views. Look at them as tables that you can refresh easily. Rember to gather stats at the end of your refresh as well.
    Thanks,

  • Need some advice about hot backup under linux

    hi, I want some advice about db files hot backup between two machines(Named A and B).A is primary machine which will write and read database and have the lastest db file. B is backup role and no database file in it.
    Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B have the lastest db file too.
    At A,my db file support transaction and environment, and I set autoremove unnecessary log files.
    The code such as follows:
    dbenv->set_flags(dbenv, DB_AUTO_COMMIT |DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE | DB_TXN_WRITE_NOSYNC, 1);
    ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, NULL,
    DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN ,0)
    I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine with different dir.
    How can I make machine A's db files backup to machine B.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best Regards
    hangsy

    Hi Hangsy
    Now I want hot backup A's db file to B in order to B
    have the lastest db file too.What do you mean? Do you want to have the latest version... from when you did the latest backup, or you want to keep it updated in the same time with the main database?
    I don't want to use db_hotbackup utility. and
    db_hotbackup may be backup files to the same machine
    with different dir.You can copy the backup anywere you want.
    If you want to run recovery on a different machine, it must be the same pointer size and endianness as the original machine.
    Database and log file archival: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/archival.html
    It is usually simpler to take the hot backup on the main machine and run recovery there before copying the databases to the remote system.
    In this setup, only the databases are required on the remote system, not the log files.
    Since you are using NOSYNC, you should run a checkpoint which will ensure you that the database files are up to date.
    Please read "Recovery procedures" ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/transapp/recovery.html ) first. "you cannot perform a hot backup of databases and log files, restore the backup and then run normal recovery -- you must always run catastrophic recovery when using hot backups."
