Oracle Backup using AIX cmds

Hi all,
I need a clarification regarding Oracle DB hope you guys can throw some light on my question.
One of my client wants me to take backup of the oracle data file path (oradata folder) using AIX-OS Commands, when the database is running but
database is actually scheduled in RMAN backup regularly.
He stills insists to take a backup of the oradata folder of the database without even shutting down. I said tat backup would be incomplete, invalid and
it cannot be used to restore but client is saying he had restored it previously with tat kind of backup so he needs a backup.
Can you please clarify me, If i take a backup of the oradata folder using AIX commands such as tar or gunzip when database is running and db is in archive log mode.
Will I able to restore it or does the backup will be valid.
Thanks in advance..

Thanks,
NonudayThe answer is NO, NO, one thousand times NO!Er, as Hemant said, all you have to do is alter the db into backup mode. This is not deprecated, it's there for split mirror type backups (along with suspend, for some hardware). I suspect that's what the boss wants, this just sounds like a communication issue between OP and boss.

Unless the backup software you are using is "Oracle aware" (in which case under the covers it is actually a wrapper for RMAN or a user managed hot backup) you have trash, for the reasons you have already explained to your client.
I think you need to demonstrate to your client on a test machine ... with his bosses bosses boss present.Problem is, it doesn't always fail. Tivoli is aware of Oracle if done right.

PeopleSoft Oracle Document Techonology disabled if using AIX?

Does anyone have experience using the new Documents Technology_ in Peoplesoft while running AIX on the application and database side_? Looking through the delivered code for Consume Web Service component for instance I'm running across code specifically for disabling the build document messages check box for any system using AIX. Which makes me think that this is not ready for use with AIX.
IB_WSDL_IMP_LOC.Activate(Page PeopleCode)
/* Check for the platform — disable compound and collection creation for AIX_ */
If (%IntBroker.IsAIX()) Then
PSWSDIMPLOC_WRK.IB_CREATE_DOC_FLG.Enabled = False;
PSWSDIMPLOC_WRK.IB_CREATE_DOC_FLG.Value = "N";
End-If;
Also the DOCUMENT BUILDER component has the compound/collection elements similarly disabled too (surprise surprise!); so I can only create simple layouts.
I am still able to create documents that contain compound/collection elements but I have to manually create the schema and feed it to the Create Document from Schema which is a pain b/c it's buggy as hell and will only read the most stripped down schema, so that's one way I have found to work around it.

ram,
I am going to do the similar upgrade with replatform at the same time. I collect the information from forum and finally get an indicator to how to do it. You need to read the "Upgrading the Oracle Applications", B19297-01
"Installing Oracle Applications" B19296-01 and
"Maintenance Utilities" B19300-01
The documentation mentioned the way for upgrade an 11.0 version of EBS to latest release including some pre-upgrade tasks including the database version upgrade to work with 11i, etc.
Hope this help.

How to do oracle backup,restore,recovery using php?

Is there anyone know how to do oracle backup,restore and recovery using php? any tips... is there any ways to do that?

Are you referring to performing RMAN backup operations via the OSB web tool? RMAN operations are managed, not via the web tool, but through RMAN command line or Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM)

System copy using oracle backup/restore - sapinst does not restart after re

I am performing a system copy of a BW3.5 system, using the system copy procedures and Oracle backup/restore. on the target node, I have installed the CI. I have run sapinst to install the database up to the point when it tells me to install the Oracle Server software, then restore the backup, and choose 'OK' in the dialog box. As I did not want to leave this dialog open, I chose 'cancel'. I have now installed Oracle, and restored the database, but when I try restarting sapinst I get the following error, and sapinst quits:
FKD-00049 XML - Parser error: error: invalid symbol '' in literal 'SAPSYSTEM_DB
indind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPSYSTEM_ind_ind_ind_ind_ind_0_SAPComponent_ind_ind_ind_

Has anybody ever experienced this before, or have any clues as to what the problem is? This is a production system, and it is supposed to be available by the end of the week....

Hi Angie,
You should always mention OS details while drafting message.
First, CHeck you must selected same SID as earlier while installation or Oracle and DB.
Secondly, you can skip this phase in SAPInst, bit technical for you.
Alternatively,
Recommendations
- Set parameters as per SAP Note 356370
- Change the swap mode from 'intermediate' to 'deferred' as described in
SAP Note 97179.
- Add /usr/sbin to the path of the user <sapsid>adm in the file
.cshrc, .login, .profile in the user's home directory. Enter the
following command(s) at the end of .cshrc, .login, .profile:
a) If using a csh, enter:
       set path=(/usr/sbin $path)
b) If using a sh, enter:
       path=/usr/sbin:$path
       export path

What commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR*Tools

Can somebody please help me urgently to know what are the commands used for taking backup of oracle database using BR TOOLS.Also specifythe commands in detail which can be used for taking backups of oracle database ,Online Redo log files in databse using BRBACK tool,Archiving of offline, redo log files using BRARCHIVE, and Restoring a Database using BRRESTORE tool Commands(Plese specify the commands with their Syntax used).Also specify the commands with their Syntax which are used for taking backup of oracle database(online,Offline redo log files) into Tapedrives using BRTOOLS commands.
Thanking You for helping (in advance).

Dear Ashish,
BRBACKUP / BRARCHIVE calls the operating system command to copy the files.
Simple approach to get the commands is as follows.
1. Set the BR_TRACE (as given in the SAP note 29321) and run the command for which you need to know the OS / SQL commands.
2. This will generate the log file with the trace information. This trace has the information of the commands used by the job you have run.
Hope this helps.

Madhukar

Waiting for kind reply ... ...You must not use or treat Expdp or logical backup as the Backup which can be used for future purpose. Please search forums their are so many links you lan find out and so many people told many time.. even ORACLE suggest that.
Go for Custom backups and RMAn backups.

SAP & Oracle Backup Integration

Hi,
Have Oracle 10g as backend for database & Legato Backup Software has been installed on the server. Could anyone please let me know that if i use DB13 for taking online & offline backups how would it integrate with the Legato Backup Software & is there any special licences required for integration with SAP. Hoping to get a reply soon...

Hi
For Oracle Backups the preferred backup method is RMAN. I suggest you read docs for more information. Try focusing on incremental backups as you suggested space constraints.

How to create backup using sql commands

can i create a backup using sql/sqlplus commands

I would actually advice you to use RMAN, instead of backup using sql commands, but if you want or have a requirment to do so..
First off all you should ensire that your databasse is in archilog mode.. (ALL PRODUCTION DATABASES should be in archivelog mode)
you can do it using sql*plus
archive log list
Then if you would like to make a cold backup (the only one posible in noarchivelog mode)
ypu have to
shutdown immediate
copy all database files (you don't need to copy redo logs) to another device
startup - to startup database
Actually I will suggest that your read User manager Recovery guide from oracle documentation

Tablespace level backup using data pump

Hi,
Im using 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 4,
I have one doubt, can we take a tablespace level backup using data pump,
bt i dnt wnt to use it for transportable tablespace.
thanks.

Yes, you can only for the tables in that tablespace only.
Use the TABLESPACES option to export list of tablespaces.*here all the tables in that tablespaces will be exported*.
and you must have the EXP_FULL_DATABASE role to use tablespace mode.
Have a look at this,

Oracle Backup tools

Hi Experts,
Plz guide me which is the best third party tool for backup & recover of database in Oracle and where can i get the trail version of this tool.
Thanx in Advance
Mani

Most people use RMAN nowadays, I don't think you need any other third party tools to do Oracle backup. Most storage vendor will try to make their tools to be integrated with RMAN rather than come up a new tool.
When it comes to backup/recovery of Oracle database nobody can do a better job than Oracle itself.

Please make Oracle 8i for AIX available for download

We need Oracle 8i for AIX...specifically Oracle 8.1.7.2.0 for AIX 4.3.3.
We were pointed to technet.oracle.com by our Oracle representative. We found the following available:
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7.0.1) for Linux (Intel), with OPS
     Oracle8i Enterprise/Standard Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Windows 2000/NT
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (64-bit) Release 3 (8.1.7) for Sun SPARC Solaris
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Sun SPARC Solaris
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 3 (8.1.7) for Compaq Tru64 UNIX
     Oracle8i Enterprise Edition (64-bit) Release 3 (8.1.7) for HP 9000 Series HP-UX
But nothing for AIX.
We have an urgent requirement to get this up and running for our Dev't work and it would be a great help if we can download it as opposed to waiting 10 days for the CD to be burnt and shipped.
Thanks...Larry

is there any link which i can use to show that oracle 8i is not suppported for any version of AIX ?Go to the "Lifetime Support Policy: Oracle Technology Products" document, page 4. Found at http://www.oracle.com/support/lifetime-support-policy.html
That document provides 'expiry date' for all most Oracle tech product.
