Create a standby controlfile using cold backup

Hi All,
We have to setup a DR for a production database.
Here we have the coldbackup which backups all the datafiles and the control file from the production database.
For cloining we generally copy them to another instance and then create controlfile manually. But for setting up as a DR , we would be creating it for standby controlfile.
I tried to google but I am not able to find a way to create a standby controlfile from the existing controlfile cold backup.
OS version solaris 10 , database version 11.2.0.1

KK

How to create standby controlfile from restored backup

Hi Techies,
I am re-building one of my DR server, Source and target DB is oracle 10g.
I have taken the source backup which is going to be restored on target, But I forgot to take a standby controlfile from source DB at the time (Pre/Post) backup.
Now the issue is I can create a standby controlfile on primary and copy the same to target, But so many datafiles are added after the backup which I have taken to restore and medias are already shipped.
I can send the other set of backup to DR site, but it takes a week time and I don't want to do that If I can regenerate it.
So any clue to create standby controlfile on target with restored datafiles?
Regards,
Nick Loy

Hmm... sounds like you perform this in a rather manual fashion...
Do you use RMAN for taking the backups?
Or maybe the BR*TOOLS?
With these tools you are usually safe from such mistakes - I can only recommend to use them!
However, since you don't have a control file at all on the target side, the only thing left to do would be to
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE NORESETLOGS;
on the primary side and manually remove the files that have been added since you took the backup from the control file script,
Afterwards you use the script on the standby side to create the control files.

Lars

How to restore specific backup file from RMAN?

Hi,
I am just begginer with Oracle DB so I do not have a lot knowledge.
I created two backups at April the 8th and April the 10th.
I did following from RMAN.
shutdown immediate
startup mount
configure channel 1 device type disk format '/opt/oracle/backup/std_%U';
backup database
startup
output was:
including current control file in backupset
including current SPFILE in backupset
it created two files: std-0so6l0vn(2 GB) and std_0to6l106 (7 MB).
First question - first file is backup and what is the second file???
Today I created also backup and it also created two files: std_0uo6morg (2GB) and std_0vo6morv (7MB)
Now I want to return backup from 2 days ago (*std-0so6l0vn*) but can't;
I do the the following:
shutdown immediate
startup mount
restore database from '/opt/oracle/backup/std_0so6l0vn'
but getting error - only SPFILE or control file can be restored from autobackup.
How to restore my backup from two days ago? It looks to me so complicated and hardly understandable.
What command to execute from RMAN to succeed in restore?
Thank you

I still can not restore database; I tried Honza method.
i try
startup nomount
restore controlfile from 'restore controlfile from /opt/oracle/backup/sss_11o7efd9_1_1';
And getting message:
no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

How to restore Emails to Mail from Time Machine?

Does anyone know how I restore my Mail contents?
I have restored my User to a Mac mini from Time Machine.
But my Mail contents were not restored.
I have not been able to find any intructions to restore my Mail contents.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

How to restore a site deleted from SharePoint Designer 2010

Hi All,
I have opened a test server site in share point designer 2010, & deleted that particular site in SP designer 2010,can anyone let me know how to restore the site by using SharePoint Designer?
I followed below mentioned procedure to restore the site using SharePoint Designer
Open SharePoint Designer, File tab, Sites under File Tab, Open site, specified the URL of site,opened..
It is getting connected to the Organisation network & showing "path does not exist,check the path and try again".
Whether, Is it possible to restore the site deleted from share point designer in site collection recycle bin. or
Is it possible to copy the site from Production server to test server.
Waiting for an response at the earlier.
Thanks in Advance.
Badri

Hi Badri,
1.You could not restore site deleted from SharePoint designer in site collection, you can only restore the site deleted from
UI in site collection recycle bin, deleted from end user recycle bin.
2.You can export the site from production server, then import it to test server.

How to restore all aperture photos from Time Machine

My 2 main Aperture libraries are all messed up (cannot get photos back into their correct projects, some thumbnails are empty, etc. etc. I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture library. How do I do this?

I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture library. How do I do this?
That are two tasks that you want to do in one - restoring from Time Machine and creating a new, merged Aperture library. Ths cannot be done in one go.
You can use Time Machine to restore your two libraries from the backup. But since Time Machine does not do archival backups of photo libraries, you can only restore the last backup TM made. Depending on when you last ran TM, this may very well be the current versions of your Aperture libraries.
To restore a library from Time Machine:
Connect the backup drive.
In the Finder navigate to the folder with your Aperture Libraries (for example "Pictures") and open this folder as the front-most Finder Window.
With this window selected, go to the TM icon in the Finder's menu bar and "Enter Time Machine".
In the TM Time Line at the right of the TM Time Tunnel select the current backup and select the Aperture library in the Finder window. Select to "Restore to" this library to a different folder, so that you do not overwrite your current library.
Once you have restored both libraries, check, if the projects that you are concerned about are now separated again and are showing all thumbnails.
To help you to create a new, combined library from the restored library, we will need to know more. There are several options, e.g.:
Merging the two libraries by importing one into the other.
Exporting all your originals, project by project, and reimporting them.
What is your Aperture 3 version number? Do you have the latest version 3.4.5 or an earlier version?
How to proceed will depend on what you could recover from Time Machine.

Léonie

How to restore iPhone 3G back from OS4 to previous version of the OS?

OS4 is PAINFULLY slow on our 3G phones. Anyone have instructions on how to restore the 3G phone back to the 3.x OS?

As there is no official way it cannot be talked about here...thus our suggestion for Google. If you cannot find info, try different search terms. Like rollback OS or something else.

How to restore previous session using the control panel

I have tried all pathways through firefox with no results. There is a way to restore previous session using the control panel. I tried it before and it worked but I forgot to write down the pathway and lost this method. Does anyone know it?
thank you

I can't think of anything useful in the Windows Control Panel, but perhaps you were using the System Restore feature? As a shortcut for that, you could try the Previous Versions tab of the Properties dialog for sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak.
First, I recommend backing up your current sessionstore files.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Copy sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak to a safe location (e.g., Documents folder). If you cannot see those file extensions, try this Microsoft support article: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
Then right-click sessionstore.js, click the Previous Versions tab, and see what is available.
