Online Backup Recovery Error-1033

Hi,
1.I took a successful Online Backup for Net Weaver Sytem through DB13 Functionality.
2.Database is Oracle .
3.When I try to Restore the Backup through BRTOOLS on the Server ,It gives SQL Error 1033.
Pl. find the enclosed Error Details:
Starting user session: OCISessionBegin(con=0, usr='SAPSR3', svc=152820D0, srv=152822D0, usr=15291560)

Ive already Consulted the Notes 655240 & 556232 for Solution. But, the problem still persist.
Please provide some Input for the same .

Nimish Bhatnagar

Hi Nimish,
Check out OSS note 35278, 445038 and 400241.
Can you please check
R3trans -d and get the log of trans.log
remove any old trans.log if you have any at that location.
if that doen't help try R3trans -x and get the log. Both write the log in file trans.log
Try the command "recover database".

  • Database open fails after online backup recovery

    Hi Friends
    We are trying to set up an additional server using the online backup of our DEV server. We have been following SAP Note 549828 for the same. Having restored the online backup, the open database failed.
    To resolve the same, in accordance to SAP Note 549828, we created a backup control file with success using the command
    create controlfile reuse set database DEV resetlogs noarchivelog
    However on issuance of the command
    RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL
    we run into an error as to
    ORA-00279: change 794638222 generated at 10/25/2007 12:43:20 needed for thread 1

    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/DEV/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1'
    We even manually copied the file system.data1 from the source to the target server but to no avail.
    Also the SQL command
    SELECT FILE#, CHANGE# FROM V$RECOVER_FILE
    displays a different change# for system.data1 while it is showing same number for all other datafiles.
    Please advice at the earliest as we are struck. Points awaiting their master.

    Some inputs addition to Erics comments
    The problem is you dont have archives ie Offline redo logfiles in correct location.
    /oracle/DEV/oraarch/DEVarch1_9766.dbf  Here DEVarch1_9766 is archive file which is misssing from location /oracle/DEV/oraarch. To recover DB you need Archives generated during hot backup.
    Generally these steps willl give you desired result.
    select * from v$logfile;
    We normally switch the log files to the number of log groups that exist
    alter system switch logfile;
    create a Backup directory to hold our hot back datafiles and Archives
    When the backup is complete check the backup location to see if all the files are available. We could now either FTP the same to the other system or copy over these files to another location in case of cloning on the same system.
    Copy over all the files to their respective filesystems and directories and then edit the file that was created using the backup controlfile to trace. Copy that file to the remote system and edit it accordingly.
    check that all the files are in the right location and edit that information in the control file
    Once the controlfile is run successfully and you get the statement processed, we can start applying the archive logs that we have moved to the archive log destination directory as per the init<sid>.ora file.
    do a recover of the database to its consistent state
    recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
    The create control file command only changes the structure of the database and the SID name, the header of the datafiles still hold all the required information. The above command would ask you to input the archive log file names one by one to do recovery or you could choose the AUTO option. Once the recovery process is complete, open the database with the resetlogs option

  • BI Online Backup recovery

    Hi experts,
    We need to make an online bakup of our BI system. But we had some infopackages that ran after the online backup, so the delta timestamps in ECC are greater than the timestamp of the backup.
    Do you know if after the recovery of the BI online backup the timestamps in ECC will be also reverted?
    If not, is there any way of performing this activity?
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards

  • Online backup recovery

    Hi All,
    I have the tape of online backup and that I have restored to the system. But it is asking about the more archive file i.e. I do not have. How can I restore these archive from this online backup tape. Can you guide me. Is it possible or not. Is archive file backed into online backup tape or not.
    Kindly suggest how to sort out this issue.
    Awaiting your reply.
    Regards,
    Ashu

    Hi Markus,
    I have used the following commands for restoring the backup :
    brrestore -m full -b <det_log_file> -c
    The above said command is not restoring the archive file but except archive all data file has been restored successfully.

  • ORA-01195:  online backup of file 65 needs more recovery to be consistent

    Hi,
    I was doing a clone by taking the hot backup from prod to dev. The backup was good. And then I created the control file, Then I passed the command
    recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
    It asked for the archived logs files. I supplied them until current time.
    Then I canceled.
    That's when I got this error
    ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
    ORA-01195: online backup of file 65 needs more recovery to be consistent
    ORA-01110: data file 65: '/d10/oradata/dwdev/kt01.dbf'
    ORA-01112: media recovery not started
    What am I doing wrong? I have not yet passed the command "Alter database open resetlogs"
    Should I do more logswitches in prod and pass those files to dev ? Or should I just put the kt tablespace in backup mode and copy the data files?

    Which set of archivelogs did you copy over to apply ? All the archivelogs from the first ALTER TABLESPACE ... BEGIN BACKUP to the archivelogs subsequent to the last ALTER TABLESPACE ... END BACKUP ?
    In the cloned datadabase, what messages do you see in the alert.log on having issued the RECOVER DATABASE command ? Does it complain about the datafiles being fuzzy ? Which archivelogs does it show as having been applied ?
    Can you check the log sequence numbers for the duration of the Backup PLUS ArchiveLogs subsequent to the Backup ?

  • How does recovery work after an online backup

    Hello,
    While trying to conceptually understand how backup and recovery works, I came accross a question concerning hot (online) backup.
    This is a conceptual question (I am trying to understand how things work), it is not a "how should I proceed/ what should I do step by step" question.
    As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database). Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.
    Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.
    I believe that undo information from the time the hot backup was taken may be required e.g. in the following scenario:
    Assume we are taking a hot backup of a given tablespace, i.e. we are copying all OS files that make up this tablespace, while the database is potentially being used. Let D1 be one of the datafiles in our tablespace and let transaction T1 modify datafile D1. Let transaction T1 further be uncommitted while the copy of datafile D1 is being made and let (at least some of) the changes from T1 be included in the backup copy D1' of D1 (because DBWR has already written the modified blocks at the time they were being copied to the backup). Let transaction T1 be rolled back after the copy is completed. D1' will thus contain modifications from T1, while D1 will not.
    Now some time later the datafile D1 is lost. When recovering D1 from the copy D1', the (archived) redo logs will be applied to D1'. Before that, transaction T1 should be rolled back in the copy D1', because modifications from T1 must not appear in the recovered version of the database.
    I do however not understand, where the information to rollback transaction T1 exactly comes from. It may still be in the current UNDO tablespace. I do however assume that rollback information is not kept in the UNDO tablespace forever. I see three possible answers to this
    (a) There are some requirements which I missed so far to backup the UNDO tablespace whenever a hot backup is made.
    (b) Since the Oracle "RDBMS" has to be notified that an online backup is being done, it might store all relevant undo information (e.g. write it to the redo log) when the tablespace is put in backup mode.
    (c) There are situations when recovery is not possible due to "missing old UNDO information".
    Answer (b) seems the most plausible to me. I did however not find any confirmation of this and if (b) really is the answer, I would be interested to understand what information is stored where by the Oracle RDMBS and how it is used for recovery.
    To summarize I have the following questions:
    (I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?
    (II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?
    (III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?
    Thank you for any hints and answers
    kind regards
    Martin

    Its a highly technical question and I can be completely wrong due to my very less knowledge but I would attempt to answer still. Hope I say something sensible so bear with me.
    As far as I understand, an online backup of a tablespace can be performed by copying the OS files making up a tablespace while the database is up and being used (i.e. transactions are modifying data in the database).Correct. But it would depend on the tool you are going to use to do so.Using o/s level commands like CP and all would require you to manually copy the files to the backup location. Using RMAN, it would be lot easier and RMAN would take care of everything.
    Before the copying of the OS files starts, the Oracle RDMS must be notified that an online backup is being taken via "ALTER...BEGIN BACKUP" (such that some additional information is written to the Redo Log, which may be required for subsequent recovery using the online backup). Again, this is a requirement only in the case of user-managed backup . In that case, because of the fractured block issue , its important that the corresponding older information/image of the buffer is also copied in the redo stream and that's done when the begin backup command is used. Using RMAN, this is not needed as RMAN can read the consistent image which it would store in the backup piece, exactly in the same way in which select request is fulfilled by oracle for a dirty buffer which is yet to be made consistent.
    During recovery the Oracle RDBMS uses the copies of the OS files together with the online and archived redo logs in order to reconstruct all committed transactions and it further uses the UNDO tablespace to rollback open (uncommitted) transactions.Correct!
    Thinking about this, it seems to me, that in order for this to work in all possible scenarios the undo information from the time the backup was >taken may be required. Therefore backup of the UNDO tablespace should be taken as well (see the explanation for this assumption below). >However browsing the internet (including the Oracle online documentation) I did not find any statements concerning the backup of the UNDO >tablespace when an online backup is taken. Moreover I couldn't figure out when exactly such a backup of the UNDO tablespace must be done, to >ensure that the database can be recovered in all scenarios.The reason that its not a must to do so is that if the transaction is yet active, there is no way that Oracle would overwrite the Undo information of it, even if you may come after 100 years, it would be there. The Undo segment would mark those blocks as active undo blockswhich contains the information of that transaction whose status within the transacton table of that undo segment is still marked as active. So its there all the time in the undo tablespace. Now, for an instance, let's assume that the undo is not there as well( it would be but let's assume), the changes made to the undo segment's blocks are also recored in the redo as its just a change happening to any other segment like EMP,DEPT except with the difference that its not done by you but by oracle. So using that information, in the future , if there would be a need to replay those changes, necessary information to do so can be brought up from the redo blocks stored in the redo/archive logs. Yes, if there would be pending transactions that would require Undo information to get them rolled back and you have lost Undo tablespace and have no backup of it , you wont be able to bring back the database as it would be inconsistent and oracle would not let you to do it. In that case, you may require to use hacks to get it up and that would be really tricky situation.
    (I) Is there any requirement to backup the UNDO tablespace together with an online backup of a tablespace, and if so, where is this stated in the Oracle documentation?As I said above, it must be there if you are anticipating loss of Undo tablespace. If you have lost it, you would need a backup and all the archive logs and redo logs to recover and get it back to the point where the current database is . Rest, oracle would take care as it would reapply the redo contents of the undo segments over the undo segment and get it consitent.
    (II) What mechanisms ensure that uncommitted transactions can be cleared from the online copy of a tablespace (potentially a long time after the copy was taken)?As I said , pending transaction's undo is never overwritten by Oracle. Its always kept and marked as active undo . Only a transaction end would make it elgible to get overwritten and that too won't happen immediately(undo_retention would kick in) .
    (III) Do you know any links (Oracle documentation or other online resources) explaining these datails?I have to see if its there some where step by step mentioned and I shall update the reply once I shall find the link. Hoep someone else in the meantime finds it .

  • Error during Backup/Recovery settings configuration

    Hi all,
    Using the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server control,
    i am configuring backup/recovery settings for my infrastructure tier in a 10g Rel 2 application server environment. however after specifying the various locations for Log Files, Configuration files, Metadata repository database backup etc i get the following error after clicking the 'Ok' button.
    An Internal Error has occurred while performing the operation.
    Performing configuration ...
    oracle_sid: cinfra
    The command /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/perl/bin/perl /oracle/appn/oracle/infra/backup_restore/bkp_restore.pl -m configure -h /oracle/appn/oracle/infra -f > /infrahome/backups/log_files/2009-12-06_17-13-38_output.log failed with return code 255
    i am at a loss as to why i am having this error and how to fix it.
    I examined the log file and saw an error snippet saying
    *"Unable to get dbid from the database. Please ensure that ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set to the same values used when starting up the database and that the database is open.... Failure: Configure failed"*
    Also examined another file generated at the same time as the output log file and in there i saw the following
    *"ld,so.1: oracle: fatal: relocation error: file /oracle/appn/oracle/product/10.2.0/cm2t/lib/libjox10.so: symbol kgestKguard_: referenced symbol not found*
    *ERROR:*
    *ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact*
    *SP2-0751: Unable to connect to oracle. exiting SQL*Plus"*
    Apart from the infrastructure database, i have another database with SID 'cm2t' on the same machine and i am suspecting that OEM Application server control is referencing the wrong file while it's doing it's work. How do i tell it to look in the right place if indeed that is the cause of my problem?
    In my config.inp file all the right parameter values are in place.
    Thanks.
    Steve.

    Hi AMN,
    Thanks for your reply. I managed to solve it by taking the following steps.
    I use the runstartupconsole.sh script to start up my infrastructure tier. At startup it was using an LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to that used by an existing Oracle database instance on the same machine.
    I set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc correctly before running the runstartupconsole.sh script and after that i was able to setup my backup/recovery settings properly.
    I hope this will be useful to others.
    Steve.

  • Getting error while running script for online backup

    Hi,
    I am running a script for online backup but ended up with an the below error.
    *ERROR* [Backup Worker Thread] com.day.crx.core.backup.Backup Failed to create temporary directory
    Please help out in resolving this.
    Thanks in Advnace.
    Maheswar

    Hi mahesh,
    If you are using backup feature from crx console, I mean http://localhost:4502/crx/config/backup.jsp  I can say that we had also some problems with this functionalities.
    First off all what you need to check are the permissions, because when you check a source code there is line which creates a File object using a path specified by you to make a backup of repository.
    File targetDir = new File(req.getParameter("targetDir", listDir.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()));
    You need to have sure that the proper read write access has been granted for this path.
    Another issue is that maybe there was already prepared some hotfix if you are using CQ5.4. Please refer to the following link:
    http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Crx/CrxSystemAdministration/CRXOnlineBackup.html
    and also to this one:
    http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/crx/current/release_notes/overview.html which contains a hotfix number #34797 which was applied to backup.jsp file.

    I don't know much about Oracle or TSM but pipe failures are usually associated with network issues. I would check the network connection between your SAP system and TSM and also try find out if there wasn't a problem at the time of the backup(with both the network and TSM server).

  • Online Backup Problems - DOA Error

    Hi all!
    I tried to establish an online backup for one of my Testservers. I configured the init<SID>.ora in the same way as the file is configured on an other Server (Backup works fine there).
    In addition I adapted the parameter-file.
    Are there any other configurations have to be done?
    The Backup should be performed by an other Server.
    The Backuputility (BAckupExec 10) allready starts the BAckupJob but this Job fails (without any Error -> I canceled the job after 30 Minutes without writing data...)
    I planned the Job in DB13 - attached the second PArt of the Log!
    Perhaps somebody can give me a hint to solve the Problem!
    Would be great to solve that,
