    Hi Selvi,
      It would be better to ask this question in the RDBMS forum -

    Hi,
    I have upgraded the database from 9.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.4 and for some time compatible parameter remained 9.2.0.0.
    Recently i have changed compatible parameter to 10.2.0.4.Now I could open the database with pfile but when I am trying to open database with spfile then I am getting following error:--

  • ORA-01665 : control file is not a standby control file

    I've already tested Dataguard configuration on Oracle 10g Enterprise edition for Windows.
    While configuring the same in Sun Solaris, I'm receiving this error:
    ORA-01665: control file is not a standby control file
    Steps I follow are as below:
    1) Creating a password file on both databases (primary and standby)
    2) Force logging primary db and shut it down. Take a cold backup of redo log files and datafiles.
    3) Transferring them to Standby db.
    4) Starting primary db in mount mode and creating a standby controlfile. Transferring standby controlfile to proper location defined in standby init file.
    5) Start primary db in read-write mode and secondary db in mount mode using:
    alter database mount standby database;
    I receive this error while firing this SQL.
    Can anyone please help me out solving the same.

    I'm already done with the same. Find log below:

  • ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file sys

    Hello,
    our RAC (Linux, 11.2.0.3.0) is rather new and we are still on gaining experiences with that system...
    When starting the backup with RMAN we are getting the following error:
    Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 04-JUL-12
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

    ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system
    The reason for the error is clear ORA-00245 - in a RAC environment the location of the Snapshot Controlfile must be on a shared location.
    When executing the RMAN command "show all" on each node, we are getting
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
    for node #1
    and
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
    for node #2
    When using a shared location for the Snapshot Controlfile do we still need to setup 2 different names for that file?
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
    for node #1 and
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
    for node #2
    Or should we configure just one Snapshot Controlfile?
    The RMAN setup for "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO..." must be changed on both nodes - correct?
    Hopefully my question is clear enough - any help will be appreciated.

    No, it must be configured on a shared storage:Not really required, i've RAC setup and snapshot is configured on local storage.
    Configuring the RMAN Snapshot Control File Location
    The snapshot control file is a copy of a database control file created in an operating system-specific location by Recovery Manager. RMAN creates the snapshot control file so that it has a consistent version of a control file to use when either resynchronizing the recovery catalog or backing up the control file. In Oracle RAC, the snapshot control file is only needed on the nodes on which RMAN performs backups; the snapshot control file does not need to be globally available to all instances in an Oracle RAC environment.

  • Getting a ORA-00201: control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with 10.0

    I have just shut down and restarted a production database. It will not open.. It wasn't recovered, upgraded or anything, it was shutdown and an attempt was made to restart it.
    ORA-00201: control file version 10.2.0.1.0 incompatible with ORACLE version
    10.2.0.0.0
    There does not seem to be an spfile.
    what could be going wrong here?

    It sounds like someone made a change to the COMPATIBLE parameter and saved it to SPFILE (or even updated the init.ora file) only to cause a problem on restart but you say there was no SPFILE. Have you tried changing the COMPATIBLE parameter back to what it was on the previous start? Check the alert log for the history of changes and previous values.

  • Ora 10g control file space usage

    Hey;
    Is there a way to find out how much space is actually used in an oracle 10g control file?
    We just discovered that two raw volumes holding control files are 96 megs and the third is 48 megs. There's some history on how that happened which, quite honestly, is irrelevant. It obviously needs to be fixed; however, I'm curious to find out how much space is actually being used. It's obvious that it's less than 48 megs or the database would have crashed. If it's 47.9999 megs, this is a "let's do it now" thing - if it's less than that, we have some breathing room - like to this saturday when the maintenance window is.
    Thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions.
    Doug O'Leary

    Dear dkoleary!
    Please have a look at this:
    >
    You can calculate the size of the controlfile from V$CONTROLFILE_RECORD_SECTION. The size of each section is RECORD_SIZE * RECORDS_TOTAL rounded up to a whole number of blocks. The controlfile block size is the same as the database block size. You then need to double that size, because all data in the controlfile is stored in duplicate. This is needed to recover in case the instance or system crashes in the middle of a controlfile transaction. Finally, you also need to allow 1 block for the file header. There is a script called controlfile_size.sql on the Ixora web site that will do this all for you.

    Yours sincerely
