New control file using spfile

Hi all,
I want to multiplex my control file to another volume. I have an spfile (no init.ora file). Do I just use an alter system with scope = SPFILE?
i.e. ALTER SYSTEM SET CONTROL_FILES=... scope=SPFILE"
Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for any feedback.Change spfile while database running
Close the db
Start it and it will use new settings for CONTROL_FILES

How to use old archieve logs with a new control file

Environment:
ORACLE_BASE="/export/home/oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/export/home/oracle/product/8.1.6"
NLS_LANG=".UTF8"
2 partitions:
i) /data1 -- contains important datafiles (OS striping on 3 hard
disks)
ii) /export/home -- contains the oracle program, and SYS/SYSTEM
datafiles
Problem:
-/data1 cannot be read/mount (damaged)
-oracle failed
Action Performed:
-reinstalled OS
-mount /export/home successfully (all oracle system files,
instance init files exist)
-/data1 is an empty partition
-created the oracle user, and its groups
-chown recusively for the $ORACLE_BASE directory
-set all the oracle environment variables
-attempted to start the instance, but failed due to a control
file was
missing
-since control files were set to be mirrored, i copied a control
file somewhere
from /export/home/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control1.ctl to
/data1/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control2.ctl (i.e. have them back to
their original locations)
-the instance failed to start as well, since the datafile set in
the control files couldn't be found
-this forced me to re-create the control file... b4 i re-create
a new control file, i backed up the old one
-once the control file was created, the database can be started,
but, to oracle, all achieve log information are lost (although
the achieve log's physical files r still there)
-i imported the important data from a dump file that was
exported a week ago b4 the system failure
-since we r using the new control file, the redo logs switch
contains no achieve log information that the old control file
has, so running "recover database" doesn't do anything
Purpose:
since the dump file is a week old, i'd like to get the data
after my last export and b4 the system failure. the database was
run in arhieve log mode, how can i recover those data with the
new control file
Question:
-how can we create a new control file that can drive the old
achieve logs?
-can we convert the achieve log data (.dbf format) into text
format?
-can we still use the old control files to start the database?
-what's a suggested solution if we'd like to re-construct the
database up to the moment b4 the system failure in another
server?
thx

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

I can only backup the datafiles but not the control files and SPFiles

Hello, all,
I am using the Oracle 10g on a linux server which runs redhat 9. I want to backup the whole database to the disk, but not the flash recovery area. It is /rawdata. I will show how I configure the backup part in EM. Is there anything wrong?
1. the ARCHIVELOG is on
2. under Administration, in the All Initialization Parameters, I remove the string value of “log_archive_dest_1”. After that, I go to the SPFile and remove the string value of “log_archive_dest_1”
3. configure backup settings and policies. The Disk Backup Location field is set to /rawdata. Select Image Copy for Disk Backup type. Test Disk backup is successful.
4. go to Policy page. Select “Automatically backup the control file and server parameter file (SPFile) with every backup and database structural change.) input /rawdata into the filed: Autobackup Disk Location
Select “Optimize the whole database backup by skipping unchanged files such as read-only and offline datafiles that have been backed up”
Select “Retain backups that are necessary for a recovery to any time whin the specified number of days (point-in-time recovery)
Accept the default of 31days
5. go to Schedul Backup
6. select customized from the backup Strategy drop-down menu. Select the Whole Database
7. in the Options page, select “Full backup” in the Backup Type section. Select “Online Backup” in the Backup Mode section. Select “back up all archived logs on disk” in the Advanced section.
8. in the Setting page, select “Disk”
9. in the Schedule page, accept the default job name and description. Select Immediately to execute the job immediately.
10. just submit the job.
After several minutes, the job is failed while the Prebackup and Postbackup are succeeded. The log says:

It seems the system tries to find a file “arch_D-ORCL10G_id-770753237_S-1062_T-1_A-586368151_cqhvf270” in /rawdata. I just can not understand.
What should I do? Any advice is highly appreciated!
Qian

the string value in the field of 'log_archive_dest_1" under "All Initialization parameters" is "LOCATION=+DATADG/orcl10g/". The same value was in the field under SPFile.
I reset these values and tried to backup the whole database. The same error appeared. The log says:

Why the system keeps trying to find files under /rawdata? It is the destination, not the source.
Any help is appreciated!

Control file and spfile auto backup backup is failing

Hello All,
I am using Oracle RAC 11gR2 with ASM. My database is 2 nodes RAC1 and RAC2.
I am taking RMAN database backups to ASM diskgroup (FRA) and to a Network File System mounted on both RAC1 and RAC2. I have this requirement to take backup also outside ASM.
I have set: CONFIGURE CONTROL FILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
I am runing the RMAN backup job from node 2 (RAC2)
I am facing the below error when taking a backup to the Network File system;

Why does the RMAN Backup struck at Controlfile , SPFile autobackup?

Hello;
I believe the issue is caused by your media management software. You should contact your media management vendor.
Try the same operation to disk and I bet it works.

Pls. guide me,

Hi,
Make sure that user ora<sid> is authorizate to read that file, so provide authorzation.
Command you run should looks like this one
./ora_br_copy.sh -generateFiles -forceLogSwitches -targetSid TRG -password secretb -listenerPort 1527
this is only example you should change TRG, secretb and port for listener.
Best regards,

Unrelated Audio on new Ingested files using Prelude CC

Why would my new Ingested files use audio from previous Ingested files that are completely unrelated when I open them in Premiere Pro CC to began a new Project? I can not hear any audio that's on the Ingested file, just a different files audio from a previous Rough Cut.

SQL Loader Control File use of integer(n)

Dear Gentlemen,
I have an "ascii" file where some fields are binary of 2, 4 and 8 bytes. This file has to be loaded to oracle (8.1.7) Table using SQL Loader. According to SQL Loader documentation, for this case I must use as a field type: integer(n), where in my particular environment (Intel Windows), n may be 2, 4 or 8 according to the length of the field. Although I do not need to specify for integer(4); but, for integer(2) and integer(8), I need to specify it to get the rigth values. In the case of integer(2), it can be replaced by smallint; however for integer(8), I have to specify the number (8), and this form is not accepted as a sintactically correct statement by SQL Loader. Therefore I cannot load the correct data.
Could you please give some advice?.
Best regards,
Julio Porcel.

Hi!
If it's not possible to implement through control file, load your data into some temporary table and then use power of SQL to do whatever you want with them.

How to dynamically create sqlldr control file using stored procedure

I am trying to dynamically create the control file (.ctl) and execute the same using a stored procedure.I would be passing the file name as a parameter to this procedure. How do I go about doing this?
The control file has the following structure. The file name (mktg) varies and is passed as an input to the stored procedure.
SPOOL mktg.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'mktg.csv'
INTO TABLE staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COMPANY_NAME,
ADDRESS,
CITY,
STATE,
ZIP)
SPOOL OFF ;
sqlldr scott/tiger CONTROL= mktg.ctl LOG=mktg.log BAD=mktg.bad

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

Creating new flat file using TextEdit w/specified name and path

Hi all,
I am working on an Applescript to create a blank new plain text file (in /tmp with a unique filename derived from today's date and time) and am missing something 'cause I keep getting an error message.
Here's the code:
<pre class=command>
set Today to (do shell script "/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S") as string
set DefaultFilename to (Today & "TMP.txt") as text
set TMPpath to "/tmp/" as text
set TMPFile to (TMPpath & DefaultFilename)
tell application "TextEdit"
set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:DefaultFilename, path:TMPpath}
end tell
</pre>
When I run the above code snippet I get the Applescript error message:
TextEdit got an error: NSArgumentsWrongScriptError
I understand that the properties listed in the make command should be a record, and that the individual properties comprising the record should each be text.
What am I missing here? Something obvious I suspect.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Ed

You're trying to use Unix-style paths for a Cocoa app, and that won't work.
You need to use Mac-style paths, that is, colon-delimited, not unix-style (slash-delimited) paths.
<pre class=command> set Today to (do shell script "/bin/date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S") as string
set DefaultFilename to (Today & "TMP.txt") as text
set TMPpath to ":private:tmp:" as text
set TMPFile to (TMPpath & DefaultFilename)
tell application "TextEdit"
set NewDoc to make new document with properties {name:DefaultFilename, path:TMPpath}
end tell</pre>
A slightly better solution is to use the path to command rather than a hard-coded path. path to temporary items will give you the path to the current OS temporary file directory, which is more reliable than hard-coded strings, especially since non-English versions of the OS mght not use the same path names.
<pre class=command> set TMPpath to path to temporary items as text</pre>

I can't send new Keynote files using Sparrow.

I want to send Keynote files, but Sparrow gives an error and won't send at all. Sending with Gmail works, but the receiver can't open the file. What to do?

Going back to Keynote 1, the OSX "Package" was always a folder that was only treated differently due to the .key at the end instead of .folder. In between then and now, they created another format that was essentially the same thing, but zipped up (and still with a .key extension). Keynote would open both and save to both the same and there wasn't a functional difference. There's never been a "simple" Keynote file, it's always been basically a folder, zipped or not, with a .key extension.
For example, take a .key file from Keynote '09 (one that won't let you "Show Package Contents", change the extension to .zip (you'll have to tell Finder YES this is what I want to do), then double click on it. OSX's built in unzipper will open it like any other .zip file and you'll see the "folder" contents. By the same token, take any .key file that WILL let you "Show Package Contents", change it's extension from .key to .folder and save that. It'll open just like any other folder on your system. And, the changes are reversible for Keynote '09, change the .folder back to .key or change that .zip back to .key and Keynote will recognize it.
