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;

[ N73 ] Cannot backup SMS from NBU file

Dear all.
I have a N73 phone. yesterday, I want to up my firmware's phone. So I backup my data ( contact, messages, calendar,.. ) to a NBU file ( I use Content Copier in Nokia PC Suite ).
After that, I restore data from NBU file. But, only contact is backup, and SMS cannot be backup.( I use ABC amber NBU converter to view NBU file, i still view my SMSs ).
Who know what happend? And what will I do to restore my SMSs?
Thanks a lots!

Since you save your SMS in the memory card, the utility will not backup the messages. It copies whatever is stored in your phone memory alone. After firmware update, your message application would have been configured to store messages in your phone memory (the default setting). Try changing the memory in use to your Memory card (Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use -> Phone Memory), and you should be able to view the messages that had earlier been stored there.
Had you selected the option to backup your mass storage also when running the Content Copier utility, you would've been able to backup the SMS stored in your memory card as well in the NBU file. But the file would be quite large, for obvious reasons.
I doubt if the other options given in this thread will work for you.
Let us know what happens

Cannot see or copy protected files to new computer

We purchased a new computer and moved our iTunes Music folder to it using our wireless home network. When using the new computer to look at the contents of the iTunes Music folder on the old computer, we cannot even see icons or folders for any of the protected songs. So, we cannot drag them over. After the move, we authorized the new computer within iTunes but we still have the problem.
We have also tried to use the old computer, where we can see the folders with the protected songs, but it will not let us copy them over (error message is "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the the file is not currently is unse.)
I know this sounds complicated but hopefully somebody has had the same ot a similar problem. Help please...

Same problem here. I have Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and iTunes 11.1.5.5 and I cannot open iTunes. I do not know of anyone who can. This is a widely known problem by users but Apple has yet to acknowledge this issue. There is no known solution.

Can't backup database in NOarchivelog mode

ok it finally shutdown cleanly.
I altered it in archivelog mode.
Now I can run a backup database command from rman?What does it cost to try it and see? What would be the worst thing that could possibly happen? An error message saying you can't do that?
And please note, this forum is not a chat line. Operators are NOT standing by. Posting a new message every two minutes to give an update on the fact that the database hasn't shut down yet is not necessary and not productive.
If there are a lot of pending transactions when you issue SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE, they will all have to be rolled back as part of the shutdown. That can take some time. And if you bypass that with SHUTDOWN ABORT, they will have to be rolled back as part of instance crash recovery on the next startup, which will also take some time. Five minutes may feel like an eternity when you are sitting there waiting for your command to complete, but is no reason to panic.

Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DB

I am deploying my application components on Oracle RAC database, when i install my app component i will run a script which creates a user and tablespace on bot rac-nodes(node1 and node2)
as database is clustered, the user are created on 2 nodes and tablespace is stored in a shared location for two rac nodes
i am able to successfully run my script on rac-node1 and and installed my component and when i started installing the app component on node2 getting error
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 7 - see DBWR trace file

ORA-06512: at line 1
"dbadmin_01.dbf is the custom tablespace which created by me"
i a mgetting error while installing the app component on rac-node2

You should not create database files outside of the ASM.
I'm not sure you can move the datafile, I would export the data from the tablespace (if there is data you need there), delete the tablespace and recreate it in the ASM, then import the data back.
If you want to move the datafile, you can try using RMAN (from node1).
First connect to the database with sqlplus and execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> offline;Then start RMAN: rman target /
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE '<file>' FORMAT '+<ASM_DG>';Then in sqlplus, execute:
alter tablespace <tbs_name> online;I'm not sure it will work, and I hope I got the commands right because I can't check it right now.
Good luck

Cannot read properties files in debug mode .....

I am using JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3.0.4) and cannot seem to read properties files in debug mode, while it runs fine in Run (non debug) mode!!
For code like this:
Properties props = new Properties();
String dbPropsFile = "/pol_main.properties";
InputStream is;
is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(dbPropsFile); <---- ERRORS HERE!
props.load(is);
I get error messages like:
"Unable to find source file for package oracle.classloader, filename PolicyClassLoader.java".
Cannot go any further.
I am using the "hotspot" virtual machine under Project debug options. Using Sun's
JDK 1.5 update 6 with Ojvm installed.
Thanks.

I think I figured out something. In jDeveloper 10.1.3, open your project properties and click on the Run/Debug treeview branch. Now Edit the Run Configuration you are using (mine is Default) and check the Run Directory. If I change this to be the root of my source, which is one level down from my .jpr file, it now uses my standard path and finds my files. I suppose you could also change this to use the classes directory as the root as long as your props files were there too. My problems seem to be the result of my project root being one folder higher than my source root due to the way our project was imported from CVS. --Ed

Restore using incremental backup with noarchivelog mode

Hello experts,
We are running SAP on Oracle databse(IN NOARCHIVELOG MODE) for which we are having full offline backup on every sunday and post which incremental backups on rest of the days. We have scenario to do restore db to the state till last friday's incremental backup.
Please let us know the procedure for restoring till that point. If possible using brtools utility(which is SAP specific).
Thank You

Venkateshwar

Recovering a NOARCHIVELOG Database with Incremental Backups
Restoring a database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode is similar to restoring a database in ARCHIVELOG mode. The main differences are:
Only consistent backups can be used in restoring a database in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
Media recovery is not possible because no archived redo logs exist.
You can perform limited recovery of changes to a database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode by applying incremental backups. The incremental backups must be consistent, like all backups of a database run in NOARCHIVELOG mode, so you cannot make backups of the database when it is open.
When you are recovering a NOARCHIVELOG database, specify the NOREDO option on the RECOVER command to indicate that RMAN should not attempt to apply archived redo logs. Otherwise, RMAN returns an error.
To recover a NOARCHIVELOG database with incremental backups:
After connecting to the target database and the recovery catalog, place the database in a mounted state:
STARTUP FORCE MOUNT
Restore and recover the database.
For example, you can perform incomplete recovery with the following commands:
RESTORE DATABASE
FROM TAG "consistent_whole_backup";
RECOVER DATABASE NOREDO;
Open the database with the RESETLOGS option.
For example, enter the following command:
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

Cannot backup my files / copy my files and folders due to error message " The operation can't be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exists. "

Hi Apple community!
I have a [rather worrying] problem.
When I try to copy all my files from my documents on my mac [or the entire documents folder] into an external drive, I get this error message
" The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “.DS_Store” already exists. "
I am not given an option to skip this file or anything else.
But I simply cannot complete the operation!
I have tried deleting a few of the .ds_store files, [both in the original and in the destinations]
but no success.
The same thing keeps happening.
At first, this was just happening when I was trying to backup to my dropbox folder [the one on my mac's harddrive, which gets synced to the cloud],
but then I tried to back up my documents to my external hard drive, and I realized it is giving me the same error message.
So effectively, it seems I cannot backup my files anywhere!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

google found some questions, but not fittung answers.
So far:
- I checked the folder & users rights.
- I found some /tmp/ files - yes I "backup" the backuped archivelogs to-delete files in /tmp - I only active archivelogmode so I can onlinebackup
- I managed to login via rman and execute DELETE OBSOLETE manual - result above.
- Actual I delete the set one by one to find the problem set. (delete backupset 12345 ) from the list manually.
Some a good idea what went wrong?
additional: Is there a way to let oracle delete the empy archvielog-directories after deleting the logs within?
18:00- the command "RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE" also fails.

ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery

I am trying to recover standby database, but it is giving the below error.
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery, recovery is already stated
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'I:\ORACLE\QAS\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'
when i checked in the alert log the recovery is not started. and later i hae given "alter database recover cancel' and the command end up with the below line
"media recovery not started".
it seems that the recovery has stuck in between.
please advise me how to kill the recovery session that's stuck. because i dont want to bounce the standby database.
thanks in advance.

Without dataguard and MRP, you are running a scripted standby.
In a scripted standby, a RECOVER DATABASE session would have an UNTIL clause (most likely UNTIL SEQUENCE). At the end of the recovery to that point (SEQUENCE#), it exits and shuts down the database.
Also, the scripting is such that when one RECOVER session is active, another session is not allowed to start. It may loop in wait state or exit and retry at the next scheduled interval.
Apparently your standby scripting is not robust enough to prevent another RECOVER session from starting off even as the first is active (and/or it doesn't have a proper UNTIL clause and stop, exit, shutdown actions)
What you have is a custom implementation of a standby database. Without complete details of the script, the "locking" between sessions (to prevent a second RECOVER from starting when one is already running) etc .... we really cannot do much to help you.
Your scripts should be maintaing status information . It should be possible for you to discover the "other" sqlplus session that has issued a RECOVER DATABASE but not yet exited (e.g. ... how about a simple "ps -ef |grep sql" and "ps -ef | grep ora" combination ??)

RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore

I am cloning a new database using a full backup from previous nightly rman backup using a standby database utilizing catalog. When I run the duplicate command, I get
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 09/27/2011 15:04:05
RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore
But the backup of controlfile does exists in the right place. What am I missing?

thank you
