New DBA and RMAN

Hi all,
I need help with RMAN,I dont knw anything about it.Not even to logon to rman catalog. I want to logon to RMAN catalog and get the last 2 backup files. when i go trough the bckup script this is wht it shows
#export CATALOG_CONN=rman/rman@dbb
export BKUP_DIR=/db_bk/spear
rm $BKUP_DIR/*
so I assume it's RMAN CATALOG,(Correct me if i'm wrong) but when i try to connect to RMAN with "rman TARGET / CATALOG rman/rman@dbb" , I get the error msg bellow.
connected to target database: SPEAR (DBID=2535329167)
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-00554: initialization of internal recovery manager package failed
RMAN-04004: error from recovery catalog database: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name
can someone help me with this.I'm using Oracle 8i on hpux.
Thanks

no but you may change it, which may cause some problems if you hard-coded the password into some automation scripts -

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Block corruption problem in alert and rman/dbv no show errors

Hello, I'm new in Oracle's world. I have one problem with Oracle 10.2.0.4 (RHEL 5.6) x64. Archive redo-log enable
In the alert.log, three days ago show (the server have kernel panic & rebooted):
Mon Sep 24 18:18:17 2012

OBJN = 86908, OBJD = 86908, OBJECT = SYS_C0040110, SUBOBJECT =
SEGMENT OWNER = SCHEMA1, SEGMENT TYPE = Index Segment
Yesterday, we detected this error because SQL don't execute.
The error repeat 47times and there is 6 different file-block combination (4 index of schemas, 1 of sys and ¡2 tables!)
First, I launched expdp and exp of the one problematic schema. The export was fine, no errors while exporting, but in the alert.log show one block corruption. Should exp and expd show error and stop?
Next, I used dbv and verify all dbfs. Only show 2 blocks error in two datafiles (indexes).
Next, I used RMAN:
A) check database: no error.
B) validate database: error in two blocks (logical error) and different from the 6 in alert.log. This two blocks are indexes.
I re-create this two indexes. When i re-create, the block error disappear (not inmediate, suppose that disappear when block was rewrite). Now dbv and rman show no error.
I have read one note about types of error, other about procedures if db is in archivelog/noarchivelog. Also if object is index or table. But I find anything about auto-repair corrupt blocks in Oracle or why now the 6 block error are solved. I don't know if two tables with two block corrupt lost rows or not.
Appreciate any help.
Regards

Hello Fran. Result of query before rebuild problematic INDEXES:
SQL> select * from V$database_block_corruption;
FILE# BLOCK# BLOCKS CORRUPTION_CHANGE# CORRUPTIO
3 98857 1 390928740 LOGICAL
9 48632 1 390325900 LOGICAL
When I ran RMAN first time to check blocks, it filled V$database_block_corruption with two bad blocks. Different from the 6 errors from alert.:
RMAN> backup validate check logical database;
Error backing up file 9, block 48632: logical corruption
Error backing up file 3, block 98857: logical corruption
I extracted index name from each block and I re-created it. Also, I created a temporary table in tablespace's datafile to fill blocks empty. Problem solved. Rman / dbv show no error.
I'm searching for similar experiences and found: Re: Data in bad block
First 6 bad checksum errors in alert.log disappear with any visible problem?
Can I sure that DB is fine if RMAN and DBV show no errors?
Thank you very much

3.1EA1: Sourec for the new DBA stuff

Hi there
I just DL'ed the 3.1 EA1 - looks great - with nice new reports in the DBA panel. Looking forward to the prod release !!!
But a question .... do we have the source for those reports in tha DBA panel ? It would be nice to elaborate on them as we can do with the reports in the Reports panel.
Regards
Mette

Hi
Yes, I know I can do that with the reports - but what about the new DBA stuff under the DBA panel?
Ie RMAN stuff etc?
And do you have a description of the API for delveloping reports with drill down like the RMAN reports in the DBA panel?

How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?

How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?
What web site, or what phone number can we call to suggest creating a VLDB OCE certification.
The largest databases that I have ever worked with barely over 1 Trillion Bytes.
Some people told me that the results of being a DBA totally change when you have a VERY LARGE DATABASE.
I could guess that maybe some of the following topics of how to configure might be on it,
* Partitioning
* parallel
* bigger block size - DSS vs OLTP
* etc
Where could I send in a recommendation?

Differences between infrastructure dba and production dba

Hi DBAs,
I have graduated and interested in heading into dba path.
I heard there's 2 kind of dba, infrastrucrue dba and production dba. can anyone advise what's the differences as i'm new to working society?
heard that the infrastructure dbas are actually task to setup the database infrastructure in r&d environment and tested it before deploying it to production site through raising instructions for production dba to do it. Most of the their time is commited to co-ordinate project between the application team and production team.
please advise.
thanks

Infrastructure is the same as a development DBA sort of.....
But Infrastructure sort of Architects the system too. Think of a RAC system. He might recommend the RAC, design the interconnects, decide what storage and HBA's to use. You get the idea.
Production is the one who gets pages when the system goes down. They generally maintain the system day to day and apply patches, setup backups etc...

Netbackup , TWS and RMAN

DB version: 11.2
OS : AIX
I have joined a new company where RMAN backups go to Tape using Veritas Netbackup and these backup jobs are scheduled using IBM TWS (Tivoli Work Scheduler).
Prior to joining this company, I have only worked with RMAN using crontab.
I realise that Veritas Netbackup is just a middle man between RMAN executable and the Tape. But I can see Netbackup parameters like NB_ORA_POLICY being created for the server hosting the DB. When I googled NB_ORA_POLICY , I learnt that it is related to schedules of the RMAN backup (on which day should the Full backup should run , on which day should the incremental backup should run , etc...).
So, what is the role of TWS work sheduler if we are specifying the schedules in the Netbackup?

So, what is the role of TWS work sheduler if we are specifying the schedules in the Netbackup? You have to ask the person(s) in your company, who decided to use the Tivoli scheduler. This is neither a requirement from Oracle nor Veritas.
Sometimes it's a company policy to use the SAME scheduler for all tasks,which require scheduling.

Running OMS and RMAN catDB in one db

We have a centralized repository db, where RMAN catalog server is running and OMS, running as well. Now, we've discovered the different nodes on our OMS rep. How can I incorporate these into registering new databases for RMAN. If I can connect to different databases thru OMS. Tnsping should work, so that I don't have to put entries in tnsnames.ora for RMAN to connect to target databases, right?. But this is not the case. Can someone help.
Thank you,
Mary

Some dba and OS related confusions

Hi All,
I have few doubts related to database and OS perspective. Could pelase someone let remove my these doubts and clarify below questions:
Qus1: Can we have two listener.ora file with same default port number 1521?
Qus2: Why do we create two groups "dba" and "oinstall" while installing oracle database?
Qus3: If my database is in archive log mode and in case archiver process is killed then redo will be archived or not otherwise what will happen?
Qus4: If I have catalog database for RMAN metadata. And in case catalog database is crashed. Will I be able to use RMAN backupsets for restore the database?
Qus5: What is needed to run "some_path/root.sh" script while installing the oracle database at last step?
Qus6: How can we get to know what are the database running in my server from OS level itself means if any database is shutdown or crashed, can we get to know about those database from OS level itself? If yes then please specify the command?
Qus7: How can we configure UDP protocol for my listener?
Qus: If I am updating one table and update query is going on. Inbetween OS gets shutdown then when it is back my transaction will rolledback. Please let me know how it happenes means is there any process to do this or something else?
Please clarify above questions.
Regards,
Michel

Q1: Can we have two listener.ora file with same default port number 1521?
A1. If on the same machine then only if they are listening on different virtual IPs, otherwise not on the same machine. As previously stated, you can try this out for yourself.
Q2: Why do we create two groups "dba" and "oinstall" while installing oracle database?
A2. For role separation such that if you multiple software installations and/or databases on the same machine, all will have access to the central inventory owned by the primary "oinstall" group, while the other installations/databases can be owned by other secondary groups (i.e. "dba", "dba1", and so on). Taken a step further you can have different oracle software owners with the same primary "oinstall" group but different secondary groups.
Q3: If my database is in archive log mode and in case archiver process is killed then redo will be archived or not otherwise what will happen?
A3. I like the idea of testing this out for yourself so I'll leave this to you ;-)
Q4: If I have catalog database for RMAN metadata. And in case catalog database is crashed. Will I be able to use RMAN backupsets for restore the database?
A4. This depends on a few things but in the simplest case, assuming you have the control file, only need to recover a datafile, and the backup data is still available (as specified by the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter), then yes.
Q5: What is needed to run "some_path/root.sh" script while installing the oracle database at last step?
A5. You must have access to the root account (directly or indirectly via sudo as an example) at the command line.
Q6: How can we get to know what are the database running in my server from OS level itself means if any database is shutdown or crashed, can we get to know about those database from OS level itself? If yes then please specify the command?
A6. There are two different questions here, namely check for running databases, and check database status. To check for running databases from the OS there are some options, the most basic is likely the command:
ps -eaf | grep ora_pmon | grep -v grep
The above checks for running processes, pipes that output through a 'grep' filter for commands having 'ora_pmon' (Oracle PMON process), which in turn is filtering out the command used to do the check itself (i.e. having 'grep' in the command).
To check the status you'll need to scrap the alert log file for certain strings. You could also use 'srvctl status database -d <dbname>' if that is available, but it will only give online/offline status.
Q7: How can we configure UDP protocol for my listener?
A7. Don't worry about this, it's taken care of auto-magically. Read the Oracle networking documentation for information.
Q8: If I am updating one table and update query is going on, in between OS gets shutdown then when it is back my transaction will be rolled back. Please let me know how it happens meaning is there any process to do this or something else?
A9. There's nothing that you need to do, it's handled internally by the database. I highly recommend reading through the concepts documentation for full understanding of this, as well as how things generally work inside the Oracle database.
Hope this helps.

Restore Database with Oracle 9i with a New Host using RMAN

Gurus,
I am trying to restore a database from some RMAN created files on a new host with a new directory structure for some testing. I do not have access to the source database.
The database is Oracle 9i.
The files that have been created are the following:
'C-2995630462-20110214-00' is the control file and SP file backup.
'B_ABM4KAJ5_1_1' is the database backup.
B_ACM4KARS_1_1 and B_AAM4KAIV_1_1 are archived redo logs
Here is the RMAN listing from when the files were created:

I am new to using RMAN and I'm hoping someone could point me in a direction of some documentation to assist with the scenario described above. I've looked at several Oracle documents but have been unable to find a way to separate out the spfile from the control file.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Meeran.
I have attempted to follow the directions from the RMAN document that you posted and have run into the following error:

It looks like it correctly tried to create a dummy spfile, but when attempting the restore from the file it breaks.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Great article for new DBA's who are trying to get that first DBA job.

I just came across this article, pretty informative, answers some questions I had when I first started. You can read it here

Yeah. God forbid I want new DBA's to read my article that is 100% relevant to this board and this topic. Hardly the same thing as Viagra Pills or African MILF's in your Area. The second post was an error, apologies.

First things as a new DBA

This may be redundant or at least covered many times in many guises.
I would like to know what would be the first five thing you would do as a new DB on a site?
I'm talking about general system gathering information or scripts you would run to see what you have on your hands?
It could be as simple as finding the version or possibly something more complex.
Be interesting to see what each individual DBA would do upon getting to a new site and not knowing anything about it.

I'm currently working my way through Expert Oracle Database 10g Administration so it may take a while for me to get up and running. I have ample access to the test system and the DBA is more than willing to help out. As you probably know though the DBA has only so much time for stupid questions so as long as I don't need to bother him or at least when I do I'd like to sound as if I did some research. This I'm hoping is where you might help. So from the list above I'd like to start checking and poking around the system, apologies if these may be simply concepts to you so all I ask for is a bit of patience and pointing me in the right direction:
*Locate the database backup job and verify that it is running, that the job looks correct, and search for evidense that it has been tested in the past, i.e., that recovery was accomplished.*
Is there a default place for this job or does every dba write his own? If so what type of things should I be finding out from the DBA?
*Run a query to check on the file allocation size, usage, and extendability. (Determine if File system, raw, ASM in use at same time)*
So this is a query. Are these the v$ type tables? If so which tables should I be querying. I can then go and look up the reference in the user guide.
*Check Oracle cron for any regularly scheduled tasks and ask system administrator to do the same for root's cron (if UNIX or Linux) Investiage scripts.*
cron is a unix based program if I am getting the picture correctly here. I will look up in google about cron but is there anything specific to the database I should be paying attention to
*Run a user to permissions report to see how many people have DBA privileges, object creation privs, etc ....*
This is a built in report from oracle?
*Look for, and Run Statspack or obtain AWR report for database and look over*
This may be a bit more advanced for me. I have heard this statspack being spoken about but have not quite understood the magic behind it. does the dba need to install it or is it already available. I see there is some info on it in the book so I may skip ahead if its important enough
*Of course, Oracle and OS version, but also if dedicated or shared server mode.*
This is obviously obtained with something like select * from v$version?
*Single or Multiple instance, standby ... so, HA requirements.*
HA? What is the full meaning? What type fo instance I will speak with the DBA about.
*Number of concurrent users, and if 24/7*
Is this possible to find out with a query?
*Storage , backup method*
This is obviously something I need to speak with the DBA about. Any suitable questions or is this a kettle of fish that I should open a new topic for.
*And getting a rough idea of how the application(s) are implemented and talking to the DB*
We are using Oracle Applications so the application is pretty much the standard that we get from oracle.
*Get familiar with the architecture (servers, instances, listeners, HA, backups) - for test and production environments.*
This is a pretty loaded question but again pointing me in the right direction of what I should be finding out about would be great
*Baseline of typical performance with AWR/statspack/Ignite - whatever tool is available and standard at the site.*
This is connected to the above info about performance monitoring
*Run a privileges audit *
Is this again a built in script or is there certain tables I should be looking at?
Thanks again and all help greatly appreciated

Can i change sqlplus and rman executible files rights in Oracle_home/bin

can i change sqlplus and rman executible files rights in Oracle_home/bin for security reasons, like following
chmod 750 sqlplus
chmod 750 rman
what will be the side effects of this

Note: My advise in based on Oracle Recomended files permissions ratherr the mentioned 750 file permission
To answer your question, I use examples like ensuring that oracle software owner (and related oinstall group) have discretory access to datafiles, controlfiles, redologs, hence using 640. Also that files like $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle (and related DBA group) are run by the software owner regardless of who executes it, hence using 6751. And others like trace files which contain sensitive hex dumps that you do not want others to see, hence using 640
So by "various processes and access permissions", I meant relateding to batch and users.

New Development and CA

We are in process of developing new eCommerce application on ATG. We also have a business requirement to manage images and products using BCC. Most of the business requirements in phase 1 of the project is to configure and deploy application code along with CA ( BCC / Merchandising). My question is whether it is advisable to do new application development along with CA configuration at the same time. What does ATG best practice say in this regard. My opinion is that we should do new application development (deliver new functionality) first to be followed by CA initiative. I have never directly worked on CA projects but I have been part of large teams with multiple initiatives where CA being one of the initiative and I have seen there are quite a few steps that one need to follow in configuring and deploying CA / BCC e.g. versioning of modules, modifying DB schema to support versioning etc. I don't want to run into issues where our main focus is to deliver new functionality and want to avoid the complexity of doing both new development and CA at the same time.
Edited by: 899085 on Nov 24, 2011 12:01 PM

The best practice recommendation would be to include any BCC/CA implementation as early as possible in your project plan. Understanding the process of how the business users will be using the tools and what impact any customizations to the ATG code your applications make are very important in a successful rollout of a site usign the BCC and Merchandizing. We tend to see that the projects which attempt to implement BCC/CA at the last minute are the ones that encounter the most problems. Projects which include the BCC and CA in the early stages of the applciation design, project planning, and UAT and load testing go through a much smoother test cycle and launch.

Hi I have just purchased a new iMac and I am trying to move my iTunes files into iTunes on the iMac. I have got as far as pasting the music folder from my pc onto the desktop of my iMac. How do I now put this folder into my iTunes?

I have just purchased a new iMac and this is all new to me as it is so different from my PC. I am trying to transfer my iTunes from my PC onto the iMac, I have got as far as pasting the itunes music folder onto the desktop but I cant seem to transfer that into iTunes on my iMac. Can anyone help me out with this?

See iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
BTW this list os for discussing the list itself. You'll get better response to questiosn you post if you post them to the correct list. I'll ask to have this moved to the iTunes list.
