Noarchive mode to archive mode

Hi,
I'm trying to backup my database in online mode. I've 2 instances: BDPROD and BDPROD2. BDPROD is already in archive mode. I'm trying to change BDPROD2, but when I shutdown the database and run startup mount, I received the error: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor. After trying again, I received 2 new errors: ORA-24324: service handle not initialized
ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
Anyone have any ideia for help me?
Thanks

Hi,
My Oracle runs in Linux.

I've to change the ORACLE_SID?
It depends on how you are connecting to the database to do the shutdown/startup.
You should be doing it as a local connection. Log on to the linux server using the os account that owns the oracle installation, probably 'oracle'
set your environment variables correctly by using the oraenv utility as this:
oracle: . oraenv
That's "dot" "space" "oraenv"
You will be prompted for the correct ORACLE_SID.
After that you should be able to connect with a simple
oracle: sqlplus / as sysdba

Are we change nonarchive mode to archive mode using rman in enterprislinux

how can i change nonarchive mode to archive mode using Recovery manager in enterprise linux

Did you read the other post where you asked this same question: {message:id=3868427}

Looking for an advice in changing to archive mode my DB

Hello buddies!
I'm going to change a DB from no archive mode to archive mode. It's a RAc with ASM, 2 nodes.
What I need that somebody verify these steps and give me suggestions.
1. Login to one of the nodes (i.e. linux1) and disable the cluster instance parameter by setting
cluster_database to FALSE from the current instance:
ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=YAWIDB1
export ORACLE_SID
2. sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> alter system set cluster_database=false scope=spfile sid='YAWIDB1';
3. Shutdown all instances accessing the clustered database:
$ srvctl stop database -d YAWIDB
Using the local instance, MOUNT the database:
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> startup mount
Enable archiving:
SQL> alter database archivelog;
Re-enable support for clustering by modifying the instance parameter cluster_database to TRUE from the current instance:
•     SQL> alter system set cluster_database=true scope=spfile sid=’YAWIDB1’;
•     Shutdown the local instance:
•     SQL> shutdown immediate
•     Bring all instance back up using srvctl:
•     $ srvctl start database -d YAWIDB
Since the archive destination is pointing to this path: Archive destination /home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db/dbs/arch
I think I should do the next steps to change that to ASM disk group, but in these steps I'm not sure. Please let me know If I'm wrong or correct? Or if I need to add something else.
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1='+DG_DB1_ASM' SID='yawidb';
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
The order of the complete steps, are correct or shoud be different?
Thanks for your comments and suggestions ;
Al

You do not need to change cluster parameter, see steps below:
On node1:
$ srvctl stop database -d <db_name>
$ srvctl status database -d <db_name>
Instance <instance1> is not running on node <node1>
Instance <instance2> is not running on node <node2>
$ srvctl start instance -d <db_name> -i <instance1> -o mount
$ srvctl status database -d <db_name>
Instance <instance1> is running on node <node1>
Instance <instance2> is not running on node <node2>
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> alter database archivelog;
Database altered.

I would recommend creating a new ASM diskgroup and assign Flash recovery area to this group. This is part of ASM best practices as in case your Data diskgroup goes, you can use RMAN backups/archivelogs for recovery purpose.

Unable to enable archivelog mode and flashback mode

Hi,
I have oracle10g installed on Linux machine.
Everytime i try to enable ARCHIVELOG mode and FLASHBACK through the DB EM console and during the restart of the database, the database just startup and gets mounted, but does not get open. and not able to get the database to archive log mode.
and when i startup the database through the sqlplus i get this following error:
ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified
i am not able to enable successfully archive log mode and flashback mode.
in sqlplus i did the following and got the following:
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode No Archive Mode
Automatic archival Disabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 13585
Current log sequence 13587
so i was thinking maybe it is the archive log start sequence that is creating error.
because long back i had the database in archive log mode and because the archive log files got filled up, i disabled the archive mode and had to delete the archive log files.
Can someone help me bring the database in archive log mode which i am not able to successfully execute.
Thanks in advance,
Philip.

How to change from archive mode to noarchive mode

Hi,
I am running 10gR2 on Windows.
Does any one know the steps to change the database which is current in archive mode to noarchive mode?
Thanks

shutdown immediate
startup mount
alter database noarchivelog;
alter databae open;
archvie log list -- to check whether the archive mode is turned off or no.
Make sure you backup the database before and after.

RMAN in non-archive mode

All,
My database is running in NOArchive log mode. Few major tablespaces are created with NOLOGGING option. We run ETL process.
My question is can I use RMAN though my tablespaces are created with NOLOGGING and DB is running in non-archive mode?
if Yes how?
Thanks

user2486753 wrote:
But as per the document it says I can do the incremental backup also but i have shutdown the DB to do that, is that correct?correct., however, you really need to understand what that means (incremental) and how you would do recovery...
Again, read the docs and TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST, TEST!!!!

Changing of the timestamp in sender file adapter in archive mode

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to archive a file with timestamp different from that generated by XI.
Please let me know if this can be done and if so how can we handle the changes to be made to the timestamp in the sender adapter in archive mode.
regards,
Srinivas.

Srinivas,
Option 1) Create a bat file..to run the perl script you call..
Perl script..
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print("Starter that you want to change: ");
chomp($badex = <STDIN>);
print("Starter that you want added: ");
chomp($goodex = <STDIN>);
foreach $file (<$badex*>){
    @fields = split(/$badex/,$file);
    $goodfile = ("$goodex" . "$fields[1]");
    rename("$file","$goodfile");
Run that on the os
That should fix it.........
Option 2) On your local Machine create a java file..add this code to it
public class Utils
     public static int Randomizer(){
          int randomInt = 0;
          randomInt = (int) (Math.random()*1000);
          return randomInt;
public static void main(String[] args)
     Randomizer();
save and compile..
Create a bat file to add the number returned from the random to your targetFilename
so it would be something like..
mv oldFileName Newfilename+randomizer... and also get this command written to a file..helpful later on.........
Hope that helps
Regards

Processing Mode = 'Delete'; Archive Faulty Source Files; Add Timestamp ?

XI3.0 SPS 19
For FTP Sender adapter, if Processing Mode is Delete, and you want to Archive Faulty Source Files with an added timestamp, it does not work (meaning it does not archive the faulty source file at all).
Any suggestions?
If I change the processing mode to Archive, it works. But my requirement is to archive only faulty files after adding timestamp and the source files should be deleted if processed.
Thanks
JB

Hi james
If you are using FCC or Modules then only Faulty files will be archived.
The error that works with this should be a permanent error of file like field missing or compulsory field etc.
if i understand correct you are trying to use Archive faulty messages in delete mode and you have FCC right ?
I have also seen this behavior in delete mode it File adapter never archive. So it wont archive the faulty file as well.
Thanks

JSF 1.2 app is deployed only in exploded archive mode if JSF 2.0 facet used

Hi.
I'm developing JSF 1.2 + facelets application. The only way to configure eclipse WTP editors to properly handle xhtml pages is to install JSF 2.0 facet (there was facelets plugin before, but it was superseded by JSF 2.0 facet if I'm not mistaken). When application is deployed on WL, OEPE show message that JSF 2.0 applications can be deployed only in exploded archive mode.
Is there any way to make OEPE to believe that this application is based on JSF 1.2 (as really is)?
Regards,
Vadim.

Hi, Ian.
You are stating that it's a JSF 2.0 app by selecting that facet - the tooling relies on your facet selection to determine what features are available.Thought as much. Determining which JSF implementation will be active at deployment time looks like very complicated task and facet version is a reliable source of such kind info. Sadly :)
What "eclipse WTP editors" are you trying to configure?"HTML editor". Without JSF 2.0 facet it doesn't handle JSF taglibs' namespaces and EL expressions content assist/navigation.
The other option is to install JBoss Tools richfaces support, but for various reasons I'd like not to.
After using exploded deployment for a week now I see that it is not that slow as I initially thought (at least for a small project): JSP/XHTML changes picked up, class methods reloaded. Manual republishing is still not as fast as in case of the splitsource deployment, but it don't call it often.
Thanks.

Test cold backup database in archive mode

Hello,
We doing every week a cold backup from Oracle database, us database is in archive mode.
We would like to test us cold backup in other server but the drive where we have to copy
the datafiles and logs and rollback are different on this server.
In the production server the oracle_home and the oracle_sid:
ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
and on the other server to test the backup are:
ORACLE_HOME=I:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2
ORACLE_SID=ENCY
Can somebody help me saying please the steps that I have to follow to restore the database in other server
to test if the last cold backup is fine?
My understand is copy the files(datafiles, log files, control files, pfile,...) in the new server, when everything is copied into new server,
I have to:
Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile
Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog files
Thanks.

Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile
Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog filesYou shoud modify and rename only in case if path to datafiles, redologs, controlfiles, dump, archive log directories is different on test server.
If that will be the same, then no need to rename.
If it is different, then modify pfile in order to meet correct one paths.

When you attempt to startup the cloned database on the new server you will find that it needs recovery -- because it was taken in hot backup mode.
That is why you need to copy the archivelogs that are generated from the first archivelog after the first "alter tablespace begin backup" to the first archivelog after the last "alter tablespace end backup".
I see that you are also including a CREATE CONTROLFILE script.
You would run that at the cloned environment.
Then you would issue the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL command to make the clone consistent.
You can, of course, use the same method to copy these archivelogs as you use to copy database files -- tar, cpio, tape, etc.

CONFIGURE DATABASE IN ARCHIVE MODE

Hai
I am just trying to change the database to archive mode.As part of this I need to set the parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_START to TRUE in the init.ora file.But I am not able to find this parameter in the init.ora file(any of the archive parameter for that matter).Please advise where can I find and set LOG_ARCHIVE_START parameter.
Thanks
Jay

LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
Parameter type
String
Syntax
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = filespec
Default value
Null
Parameter class
Dynamic: ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values
Any valid path or device name, except raw partitions
Real Application Clusters
Multiple instances can have different values.
Note:
For Enterprise Edition users, this parameter has been deprecated in favor of the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters. If Oracle Enterprise Edition is not installed or it is installed, but you have not specified any LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters, this parameter is valid.
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is applicable only if you are running the database in ARCHIVELOG mode or are recovering a database from archived redo logs. LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is incompatible with the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters, and must be defined as the null string ("") or (' ') when any LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter has a value other than a null string. Use a text string to specify the default location and root of the disk file or tape device when archiving redo log files. (Archiving to tape is not supported on all operating systems.) The value cannot be a raw partition.
If LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is not explicitly defined and all the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters have null string values, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST is set to an operating system-specific default value on instance startup.
To override the destination that this parameter specifies, either specify a different destination for manual archiving or use the SQL*Plus statement ARCHIVE LOG START filespec for automatic archiving, where filespec is the new archive destination. To permanently change the destination, use the statement ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = filespec, where filespec is the new archive destination.
Neither LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST nor LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT have to be complete file or directory specifiers themselves; they only need to form a valid file path after the variables are substituted into LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT and the two parameters are concatenated together.

Recovery in archive mode, but no archived logs

Hi,
I hope someone can help me with the following question.
I have a 9.2 database in archive mode. Suppose on t=t0 I make an online backup. At the end of this run, I will do an "alter system switch logfile" statement to capture the latest transactions (more or less also at t=t0). Later, at t=t1 we do some transaction and more archived redologs are created. At t-t2 I need to restore the complete database, but I have LOST all the archive files as from t=t0. Now the question is, is it still possible to recover (even it means to go back to t=t0)? I have tried it, but always the system suggests to apply the (missing) archived redo's, and it seems I cannot escape this. But, Is it possible to get back to t=t0?
Thanks a lot, for any clue or pointer !

If you take a hot backup and you lose the redo logs, you have a fundamentally inconsistent backup. Each tablespace will be internally consistent, but they probably won't have the same SCN as the control files, so you'll get this message.
Do you have an earlier hot backup and the archived logs that would restore that backup to the point in time (t=0) where you took the latest hot backup? Personally, I generally like to keep at least 2 or 3 old backups, with archived log files, just in case something goes wrong with the most recent backup.
