Oracle 9i RMAN info

Has anyone found any particularly good information on RMAN for 9i?
Thanks
Julie

ok....done.....thanks
i logged in as oracle user where the user is in oracle.oinstall group.
i logged into rman using backup_admin user.
now its writing...no problem.
now my doubt is.....why im not able to take a backup if i logged in as backup_admin in linux.
i have already included the backup_admin os user in the oracle.oinstall group.
also, the profile is same as the oracle user.
the rman/ora920 folder's owner is backup_admin.
and i checked $echo $ORACLE_SID
its giving the correct sid.

Oracle 10g RMAN is not working in RHEL 4 after fresh installation

I downloaded Oracle 10g R2 from OTN at home for self study.
I have problem with the RMAN after fresh installation Oracle 10g in RedHat Enterprise Linux AS 4. (x86)
Everything seems works fine, database mounted including EM, SQLPlus, iSQLPlus etc.
But when I attempt to execute RMAN command on the terminal, nothing is happening. No RMAN prompt, No error message!
I ran the "relink all" command but no helps.
Please advice.

I guess you are a common Linux 'victim', you don't invoke Oracle's rman, but a Linux executable:

Check your PATH variable, you may move $ORACLE_HOME/bin to the top.

RMAN info in controlfile and V$ views

Hi all,
I was just wondering about how the information in the RMAN information held in the controlfile actually relates to that in the V$BACKUP_SET and V$BACKUP_PIECE views?
I'm slightly confused because, as part of experimenting with selecting certain backups for deletion (based on a hellish retention policy laid down in my place of work) we were trying to pick out backups based on the views and delete them from RMAN using the tag.
However, the output of LIST BACKUP.. does not seem to correspond to what's in the above views. In other words there are backups with tags in the views that are not actually known to RMAN itself (so when executing LIST BACKUP TAG '...' and entering a tag that is present in the views, RMAN returns no data).
Apologies if this is a bit rambling - although it somewhat sums up my scrambled thought process in this regard. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
IanM

Hi,
Really I didn't understand your question.
But I can share with you :

Oracle 9i RMAN backup filling up all disk and failing at the very end

Hello to all and thank you in advance for any input from any of you.
I am new in oracle and the only one in my company with a little bit of oracle knowledge, which is not a whole lot.
I inherited a few servers (Linux and Windows based). We mostly run all our production environment on a Linux box hosting oracle 10g release 10.2.0.1 but we had a legacy application server that still runs on 9i release 9.2.0.1.0. This server is a windows 2003 box, the previous DBA or someone else with admin rights to this machine compressed the whole drive where oracle resides, when I started summarying the oracle assets, I saw this server with no backups scheduled and a compressed disk with very limited space after this compression, only 13 GB left, the database if uncompressed would definitively filled up all the disk. The machine is in used and cannot be taken down for more than a couple of hours. We tried adding another disk but the machine only accept it as a hot spare. The database is in archive mode, when I tried to run a RMAN backup, it start filling up the database drive until it's empty and it crashes the whole machine, it seems like the buffer is growing and growing until it fills up the whole drive. The only way to get the server up and running again is to reboot the machine since the server is more than 6 years old we are not please with this action because we are afraid the machine would go south in one of those reboots.
Has anyone heard of similar issues when running RMAN on a compressed drive? Can the compressed disk have any involvement in this kind of odd behaviour? I tried running the backup in debug mode and creating a log in a different disk (the one where the backup is going to) and still the same issue. Again any help is much appreciate,
Sincerely,
Alex

Sybrand,
Thank you for your fast response, I am going to use your previous post to answer one by one your question,
1 The Oracle binaries --- on a compressed drive > Yes
2 The Oracle database control files redo log files and datafiles on that same compressed drive? > Yes
3 The archived redo log ditto? > Yes
I know for a fact (as I have been using that in 9i) you can create a RMAN backup on a compressed drive, and you can have your archived redo go to a compressed drive. No problemo! > Excellent good news!!!
But I would never touch the data files. Please note backup sets are multiplexed files consisting of multiple datafiles, so RMAN would need to do some calculations to decompress several blocks at the same time and to calculate a new block and compress it.
Do you have enough space to:
a) (preferred) to make datafile copies instead of a backup >
Not in the drive that hosts the oracle instance but yes on an external usb drive (1TB) I attached to use as a backup repository, maybe this is why I am having these issues. I only have 13 GB left on that drive where the oracle instance resides (actually as I explained in a previous reply to Mark, the server only has 3 slots for disks, two of them as configured as RAID 1 and the other is a hot spare because the RAID configuration manager cannot can only added as hot-spare. The raided disk are partitioned in two, one small partition is for the OS and the other is for the oracle instance). When you said make a copy of the datafiles, I assumed you are talking about doing manual backups, and copying the database after using using "alter tablespace tablespace_name begin backup; then copy the file; alter tablespace tablespace_name end backup;
b) use filesperset=1 on the backup command line, so the multiplexing (and associated calculations) stop. I have not tried the option of fileperset yet but I can tryi it and see if that helps.
Can you post the last few lines of the RMAN log where RMAN bombs out? Note: the last few lines. Not all of it, or you must send some paracetamol in conjunction! >
When I ran the debug option, I stopped the backup at less than 20% because I didn't want to reboot the system in the middle of the production time, the backup consumed at least 3 GB during the time was running. The times I ran the RMAN backup I didn't used the debug option so I don't have a log long enough to send unless you want the last few lines of what I have.
Thanks again for your input,
Sincerely,
Alex

Monitor the online backup progress in Oracle 11g (RMAN)

Hi,
is there a simple way to see the progress of the online backp for oracle?
We are using oracle 11g and using RMAN td level-0 and level-1 backups in the SAP environment(SAP Netweaver 7.01)
Regards,
Rakesh

Thanks Siva!
I was looking for something like a script which tells me the running backup progress.
Like the following script which tells the status of RMAN backup (completed/failed):
col STATUS format a9
col hrs format 999.99
select
SESSION_KEY, INPUT_TYPE, STATUS,
to_char(START_TIME,'mm/dd/yy hh24:mi') start_time,
to_char(END_TIME,'mm/dd/yy hh24:mi') end_time,
elapsed_seconds/3600 hrs
from V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS
order by session_key;

Can we restore oracle 11g RMAN backups to 10g server

Hi,
I have RMAN backups (full backup)of oracle 11g database. My server was suddenly crashed due to hardware failure.
We have another Oracle 10g server. Is it possible to restore RMAN backups of 11g database to Oracle 10g server???
Thanks

I don't have 11g server ready with me. The other server running oracle 10g and I dont have rights to install oracle 11g on the 10g server. So I can not test the RESTORE/RECOVER commands.
If anyone had experience in the past, please let me know whether we can RESTORE RMAN backups of 11g database to oracle 10g server...
Thanks

Oracle 12c - rman backup for all PDB

Do we have any ready commands that will take backup for all the attached PDB in oracle 12c (container managed db)?

To backup your entire container DB, connect to your CDB & issue a full backup:
rman> backup database;
Backing up your pdb, either connect to the target itself & issue a backup or
rman> backup pluggable database porcl1;
Backing up only the root, connect to the target &
rman> backup database root;
always condensed nicely here: ORACLE-BASE - Multitenant : Backup and Recovery of a Container Database (CDB) and a Pluggable Database (PDB) in Oracle D…

As far as rman - any version - I don't see any disadvantages.
If you have a flat tire beside the road, what are the disadvantages of using the jack, lug wrench, and spare tire provided by the manufacturer and conveniently packed in the trunk?

Need to learn Oracle Financials-Need Info

Need to learn Oracle Financials.Anyone with any info.
Please email [email protected]

There are so many versions and packages of Oracle. Which one should I learn?
latest version is oracle 10g
but i think you will go oracle 9i rel 2
because all commercial application use oracle 9i database.
Which is the easiest way to get trained and certified? What kind of certification do I need?
you need a oracle 9i dba certification
or may be 9i developer certification
it up to you
but oracle 9i dba is more valuable than developer track
you will learn this from oracle university
excellent oracle material for ocp (but it is too costly also)
http://otn.oracle.com/training/index.html
Or u will read your self
all oracle docs available athttp://otn.oracle.com/documentation/index.html
better you will read first this
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96524/toc.htm
download oracle software
http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
My need: to find a job that was similar to previous ones that I had. My previous job function was to develop database applications using Visual FoxPro,
in oracle ,oracle developer is used for such type of application
its front end tool
gui tool like v.foxpro
and oracle database is backend tool for store information
i think v.fox pro perform both work as frontend as backend
in oracle
oracle developer is front end(old name is D2k)
oracle database is back end
i am also a developer but now find job as dba.
i am always intersting in DBA . but in IT market
there is no entry level DBA job and
its very difficult to go for dba job without experience.
so my suggestion is
read your self
install oracle on u r pc read docs from otn.oracle.com web site
and find a job on oracle platform
BEST OF LUCK AND I HOPE YOU WILL GET A BETTER JOB SOON
hope it will help you

New to Oracle, why RMAN full backup has 3 backup files?

vendor set up the Oracle, but I noticed the backup has 3 files each time. not sure why.

A "LIST BACKUP" at the RMAN command line would show the contents of each of the BackupSets, BackupPieces.
When you run a BACKUP, RMAN does show, on-screen or to the log file if you redirect to a log, which datafiles are included in which BackupSet.
When you RESTORE DATABASE or RESTORE ARCHIVELOG RMAN reads the repository and identifies the BackupPieces automatically for each BackupSet . You do not need to specify them. However, if you are restoring a Controlfile, you could specifically identify where you want to restore the controlfile from -- because the default behaviour is to restore only the latest controlfile backup, but you might choose to restore an older controlfile. This can be done with the SET UNTIL clause or RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'nameofbackuppiece' command.

Can we implement goldengate replication between Oracle to Oracle using RMAN

Dear All,
I have already implemented Oracle Golden Gate Between Oracle Database 11gR2 on Linux.
The method I have been using to copy database on Target is like this:
select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number() from dual;
expdp user/password directory=backup_dir flashback_scn=1355907575 dumpfile=gg.dmp logfile=gg.log schemas=radius
scp radius_dsl_gg.dmp [email protected]:/backup
impdp user/password directory=backup_dir dumpfile=gg.dmp logfile=gg.log schemas=radius
I want to replace this data pump with RMAN, because most of the time I don't have enough disk space to take data pump in production server. How can I replace it with RMAN and how can i track new records inserted in production database like we use flashback_scn in data pumps. Or is there any other better solution.
Has anyone done this, kindly share your knowledge.
Regards, Imran

You don't need a dump file for DataPump, you can load directly through a database link thus eliminating the space required for the intermediate dump file.
With RMAN you will either be looking for a point-time DB restore/recover as of specific SCN and then you can start the Replicat from that SCN. You can do a TSPITR + TTS if replicated data is a small subset of the entire database. If you can put the entire tablsapce to be read only then you can get away with only TTS as well. You configure Extract before you start any restore/recover and that's how you track outstanding changes.

backup spfile;
release channel t1;
dont think you need nb_ora_serv unless the NBU software didnt know where to send the backups but it should.
in netbackup admin console, look at the job activity and watch and see does a connection come in from the NBU client, the client being the server where the database resides
have you ever succesfully backed anything else from RAC to NBU? Took me ages first time to get it right.

Updating Oracle table with info from Sybase query

I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
I am fairly new to Java and JDBC. I am trying to figure out what the best method for updating information in Oracle tables with data from a Sybase table. I would prefer to use Oracle’s transparent gateway but this is not an option my company will pay for so I am creating a java stored procedure and using JDBC to connect to the Sybase database.
The process I think I need to go thru is
1.     Query an Oracle table to get the records that need to be updated and the “key” information to query the Sybase table with.
2.     Use that result to query the Sybase database to get the fields that need to be updated in the Oracle table for those records.
3.     Update the records on the Oracle table with the data from the Sybase query.
I know I can just do this procedurally, row-by-row, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to accomplish this with SQL and no loops. Is there a way to make a result set available as a “SQL table” for another JDBC query?
Basically what I would like to do is:
OraQuery = “ select sybinfo from sometable where updated_date = null”;
Statement orastmt1 = OraConn.createStatement();
ResultSet Orars1 = orastmt1.executeQuery (OraQuery);
SybQuery = “select update_date, sybinfo from sybtable where sybinfo = Orars1.sybinfo”;
Statement sybstmt = SybConn.createStatement();
ResultSet Sybrs = sybstmt1.executeQuery (SybQuery);
OraUpdate = “update (select update_date from sometable, Sybrs where sometable.sybinfo = Sybrs.sybinfo) set update_date = Sybrs.update_date”;
Statement orastmt2 = OraConn.createStatement();
ResultSet Orars2 = orastmt2.executeQuery (OraUpdate);
This may not be possible but if anyone has done something similar and wouldn’t mind sharing I would appreciate it. If there is a “better” way of accomplishing this I am open to suggestions.
Thanks

you can try using cachedRowSet() for the Oracle side query.
The rows in this could be populated using the sybase side query's resultset and then all of this could updated into Oracle in one shot.
