ORA-01858 error in RMAN during backup backupset format '/test/rman/%U'

Hello!
I am trying to perform bacup using command
RMAN> backup backupset completed after 'sysdate-1' format '/tmp/test/%U';
as described in:
asmcmd scripts
All backupsets are copied to /tmp/test/.
Everything is going fine except the last message from RMAN:

RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 07/18/2008 10:59:48
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
I suspect that rman is performing, at the end of backup, some internal work (store something in control file based catalog or so) and catches ORA-01858.
The destination catalog is local catalog (not nfs mounted remote dir).
RMAN is spawned from the same node the Oracle Database is running on.
I tested it on two servers.
Error occurs on both of them:
version 10g (ia-32) - flash recovery area on filesystem
and version 11g (Aix) - flash on ASM
RMAN-oracle10> show all ;
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default

How to diagnose the problem?
How check what RMAN is exactly doing when error occurs?
Or maybe there is better way to achieve this:
I want to move backupset from asm realm to remote server without storing them on local, non asm disk.
Any suggestions kindly welcome!
Thanx!

Solution:
NLS_DATE_FORMAT mus be set mannualy;
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY_MM_DD'
solved the problem..

ORA-01858 error in Application but not in sqlpluss

Hi.
I have this query that runs nicely in sqlpluss and the SQL Commands that came with Expressedition 10g, but when I put it in a report region it produce:
report error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
query:
SELECT temae.temae, NVL(antall,0) Antall
FROM temae LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT temae, count(temae) as antall
FROM okeiko
WHERE person = :P3_PERSON and dag >= to_date(DECODE(SIGN(to_char(current_date,'mm')-5),
-1, to_date('01-NOV-'||to_char(current_date,'yy'))-365,
0, to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
1, DECODE(SIGN(to_char(current_date,'mm')-10),
-1,to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
0,to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
1,to_date('01-NOV-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')))),'dd-mon-yy')
GROUP BY temae) p
ON temae.id = p.temae
where antall > 0
ORDER BY NVL(antall,0) DESC, temae.type, temae.temae
Before I added the decode part for the date it looked like this, and worked nice in the application:
SELECT temae.temae, NVL(antall,0) Antall
FROM temae LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT temae, count(temae) as antall
FROM okeiko
WHERE person = :P3_PERSON and dag > to_date('30-apr-06','dd-mon-yy')
GROUP BY temae) p
ON temae.id = p.temae
where antall > 0
ORDER BY NVL(antall,0) DESC, temae.type, temae.temae
This is the data structure
SQL> describe temae
Name Null? Type
ID NOT NULL NUMBER
TEMAE VARCHAR2(20)
TYPE NUMBER
Then it worked nicely in the application to.
SQL> describe okeiko;
Name Null? Type
ID NOT NULL NUMBER
PERSON NOT NULL NUMBER
TEMAE NOT NULL NUMBER
SENSEI NUMBER
REMARK VARCHAR2(4000)
DAG NOT NULL DATE
Can anyone se why application is complaining?
BTW report region also complains to_date('01-may-06','dd-mon-yy') does not have a valid month.

Marius,
I am not sure but try this:

Lession 3 oca sql fundamental doubts on ora -01858 error

SELECT last_name, hire_date
   FROM   employees
   WHERE hire_date = TO_DATE('May 24, 1999', 'fxMonth DD, YYYY');
   books mention it will leave a error (ora-01858 which is an non-numeric error )but the statement running perfectly while
by deleting that "fx"-prefix gives an error called ora-01861.
i am confused here??can anyone show me the right way?

Hi,
The outcome depends on your NLS settings. Probably yours are set to something different than AMERICAN. In you language the month of May may then have a different number of characters(?)
That's why you hit the ORA-01861 with the FX Format Model, and something else without. (Can't see why you should get ORA-01858, though)

Handling ORA-01858 error

hi every body,
How can i handle exception ora-01858 without
using when others then null;
I want something
like
when user_definded =ora-01858 then null;
when others then
v_ErrorNumber := SQLCODE;
v_ErrorText := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1, 2000);

in fact ,
I use a procadure that insert values into a table.
I want that when it reaches an ORA-01858 , then the error is ignored and continue
to insert others values,
but now , when I reach error it stops, how to deal with it ?

ORA-01858 error from Apex Report on working/valid underlying query

This view works, ie produces the right results when run (ie select * from ...) in SQL Developer and in the SQL Workshop section of Apex.
But when I attempt to produce an Apex report using it as the source of data, I get the following error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
The error is displayed before any part of the report itself is displayed, ie the Region Header is displayed and then the error message.
So far, anything I've been able to find on the forums or AskTom suggests that it is probably due to a date conversion problem. But the aim here is to summarise dated records by month, so I'm extracted the year and month elements of the date values, converting them to strings (using TO_CHAR), and then using the resulting 'Mon-YY' strings to group the results.
If there is a better way, I'm interested.
But I don't understand why Apex seems to be rejecting what appear to be valid results from a valid working query.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks again, Flavio. I'm learning and I appreciate your patience.
The solution you provided is very similar to the one I came up with after your previous message, but I didn't have the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE parameter. I'll go back and try it.
I appreciate your explanation re Apex not needing to know and Oracle assuming that the client knows what it is doing, but it puzzles me more.
The way that I originally had things, I think, was consistent with what you have explained, but it didn't work. To make it clear:
1 I had an Oracle view that had no parameters and contained the date literal in the where clause and worked fine in both SQL Developer and in the Apex SQL Workshop.
2 The view did not return any date values. Aside from the column headings and the first column (of character strings), the body of the table comprised integer values only.
3 So, when Apex called the view, I would have expected the Oracle server to independently execute the view and return the (dateless) results to Apex, which would then present the unmodified results in a standard report. This is, I think, what SQL Developer and the Apex SQL Workshop appear to have successfully done.
My expectation seems to be consistent with at least some of your explanation (ie [Oracle assumes] "+that the client knows what it is doing+" and "+apex doesn't need to know anything about the underlying query+"), but is not consistent with actual experience, where Apex seems to know that the underlying query contains a date literal and unsuccessfully (and unnecessarily) attempts to interpret it.
I'm obviously missing something about how Apex and Oracle interact in this situation. While I don't need to know - as I have a working solution now - it is valuable to understand how things work. Makes life easier and more productive.
Cheers,
Peter

IPad 1 upgrade from 4.3.1 to 5.1.1 and error message 0e800400C during backup. The response I get is that it is trying to backup my ipad.

I'm trying to upgrade my ipad and it tries to backup before the upgrade. During the backup I get an error message 0e800400C and a promot that if I continue I may lose data (I'm ok with it. I have already cleared data and settings). When I press continue, the upgrade stops and the Ipad restores automatically. So, I'm unable to get it done. Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?

The first generation iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

well, your question was not clear, though, what I understand is, you want to move your DB from archivelog mode to NOARCHIVELOG mode, right?
First of all, check whether do you have sufficient space to archiving on your hard-disk.
Secondly, try the following, alter system archive log all;
also, give the steps that you are implementing or implemented to switch from ARCHIVELOG TO NOARCHIVELOG.

Hi,
Since the error ORA-19809 indicates the lack of space in flash recovery area during the media recovery, I suggested increasing the value of the parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.
Yes, during the media recovery the RMAN will restore the archived log to the default destination (only if the required archived logs are not already on the disks).You can confirm the restore location of the archived log in RMAN restore log/destination specified by parameters log_archive_dest_1/db_recovery_file_dest.

ORA-19602 during backup of a RAC database with RMAN

Dear All,
We have an Oracle 10g database on a 2 nodes. This database is running in noarchivelog mode. While doing an offline backup of this database, we encountered ora-19602 errors. See below:
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:55
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backupset
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 03/30/2009 09:56:10
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG modeBelow were the steps that we followed:
1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
2. We then "rman target /"
3. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
4. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
5. RMAN failed with the above errors
Can someone advice what went wrong? Thanks!

Hi..
1. We stopped both instances using "srvctl stop instance -d test -i test1,test2"
2. export oracle_sid=sid
3. We then "rman target /"
4. In RMAN, we "startup mount"
5. In RMAN, we "backup database;"
Changed step 2.
Also, from sqlplus can you check the
select name,open_mode from v$database;
select STATUS from v$instance;

RMAN ORA-19870: error reading backup piece 'location'

Hi All ,
I have run a restore from a RMAN backup and i got this error :
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece XX_df_23_11_2011_XXX_1_1.rman
ORA-19599: block number 616206 is corrupt in backup piece XX_df_23_11_2011_XXX_1_1.rmanThough the RMAN backup is still going on , it has not errored out, How can i find what all gets missing from the Source database , as in what all is present in the missing block ?
What is the use of MAXCORRUPT parameter ? can that be used here ? can this be prevented if i use maxcorrupt =1 and then run the restore ?
Also , Is there any way in which i can verify that all the backups are perfect before i drop my earlier database and run the restore. I think its the validate command but I am not sure, hence seek expert suggestion.
Please suggest
Thanks
Kk

Can anyone help me resolve this error?
Thanks,

Hi,
We finally got this issue resolved. I think the error was because the source database server was running 64 bit Oracle 9.2.0 and we installed a 32 bit Oracle 9.2.0 database on the target server. We then did a fresh install of 64 bit Oracle 9.2.0 database on the target server and the restoration worked. Also, after copying all the backup files to the target DB server, change the access rights of all those files and the folder containing them to 777.
Thanks,
Ashok

RMAN Duplicate DB fails to restore datafile created during backup.

Reason of failure is , there were datafiles created during backup. Question is , Is there a workaround to perform duplicate database to work.

allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS="BLKSIZE=262144";
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO DUP ;
}

I think there is no workaround and this is expected behavior - atleast till 10.2. If you refer oracle documentation, it says that it requires target database in either MOUNT or OPEN stage to duplicate database using RMAN. So RMAN will get current physical structure information about target database from its control file and when any file is not there in the backup, it will give error. Only way to resolve this is to take backup of these datafiles through RMAN either as backupset or copy. ( I think oracle can take hint from here and make RMAN database duplication possible for which backup is not available - its a small change in code - if backup not found, then start taking backup. Already in 11g, during RMAN duplication, RMAN can use backup from other server)

BR278E error during backup

HI all,
Our database backup was running ok for the passed 3 months after the SAP system was installed. Recently, I keep getting BR278E error during backup. Below are the error message:

The SAP system is on Solaris/Oracle running ECC6.0. LTO-4 tape drive is used for the backup. Tape_size in initSID.sap is set to 720000M. Current database size is 128Gb.
What is the reason for the backup failure?
