Oracle Database 10g restore from FRA backup only

Hello all,
this is my first post here.
I'm new to Oracle, so my question may sound silly to some of you.
I have installed Oracle 10g on a Windows 2003 Server and have configured the FRA to be on a separate Hard Drive.
I have configured the autobackup of controlfile and archived redo logs to be stored in FRA also.
I have created one test database, and then a full bacakup + incremental backups.
My question is, in case of a total media falure of the Windows 2003 drive, i will have only the FRA backups on the second HDD available.
How can I restore the database using backups from FRA only? I will do a clean install of Windows and Oracle 10g. What to do next ?
Thanks in advance

During install of Oracle 10g you shouldn't create a database.
Instead you should create a service only using the oradim utility.
Just fire up a DOS box and type
oradim -help
and follow the syntax for
oradim -new -sid etc.
Oracle comes with a dummy init.ora, edit that one setting the correct sid, and locate it in %ORACLE_HOME%\database\init%SID%.ora
Start the service and
startup nomount of the database using sqlplus connecting as sysdba
now in rman
connect target /
set dbid <dbid , first element of autobackup filename>
restore controlfile from autobackup;
restore database;
recover;
and you should be set.

    If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

    Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure.  I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
    Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

  • OCA Exam 1Z0-042 - focus on Oracle Database 10g R2 from Nov 1st.

    I was planning to take the OCA (Exam 1Z0-042) next week. But I recently saw that starting November 1, the focus of the exam will be on Oracle Database 10g R2.
    I have been preparing with the hlep of the Oracle10g Administraton I book from Sybex. Will the topis differ to a great extent now that the exam will focus only on R2? Has anyone taken this exam after November 1 and found a great difference?
    Thanks,

    Thanks bhuttie. I do plan to take the selftest exams but I was just thrown off with the words " focus on Oracle Database 10g R2" on Oracle's website. Did you take the exam after November 1 as well ?

    How to install Oracle software remotely?
    Remote Software Installation Steps: (For Solaris only)
    If you want to install Oracle Software remotely, you should perform the following steps. These steps are applicable only if your source and target machine are running Unix.
    For example, you can install Oracle Software from your home from Washington, DC to a target source in California.
    1. Pick your source server or machine for remote installation.
    2. Check that your CD is in your source CD-ROM drive.
    3. On the target machine, find your target machine name with the output of the /usr/bin/hostname
    4. On the source machine, login as a user.
    5. On the source machine, enable client access: % /usr/openwin/bin/xhost + target-machine-name
    6. Become root user by typing: su (don’t use -)
    7. Check that Volume Manger is running. # ps –ef |grep vold (if you see an entry that contains /usr/sbin/vold, Volume Manager is running. Then skip to Step 10.
    8. If not then do the following: # mkdir –p /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    9. # mount –F hsfs –r cdrom-device /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    10. Add the following line to your /etc/dfs/dfstab file: # share –F nfs –o ro /cdrom/your-cd-file-name
    11. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    12. If you see an entry that contains /use/lib/nfs/nfsd –a 16, then nfsd is running and skip to Step 16.
    13. If nfsd is running, then type: # /usr/sbin/shareall
    14. If nfsd is not running, then start nfsd by typing: # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
    15. Verify whether your source machine is an NFS server again by typing: # ps –ef | grep nfsd
    16. Make sure your source machine is exporting your product directory by typing: # /usr/sbin/dfshares
    17. Now, log in to the target machine by type: # rlogin target-machine-name –l user (not root)
    18. Then log in as the root user by typing: # su
    19. Go to the source machine by typing: # cd /net/source-machine/cdrom/your-cd-file-name ,then Skip to 24.
    20. If you cannot change to that directory in Step 19 and you do not have an auto-mounter on your network, then create amount point by typing the following commands.
    21. # mkdir /remote_products
    22. # /usr/sbin/mount –F nfs –r source-machine:/cdrom/your-cd-file-name /remote_products
    23. # cd /remote_products
    24. Redirect the target machine display to source machine by typing: # DISPLAY=source-machine:0; export DISPLAY (if you use a Bourne or Korn shell).
    25. Start the Web Start Installer by typing: # ./installer (or whatever the installer name program is).

  • RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database as read from the backup set

    Hello Experts-
    I am facing a very bizarre situations here, I was trying to restore a database from server 1 to server 2, first I take backup manually and then copy the backup to the server 2 location and restore it easily, I do this all the time but now I am getting this
    error:"RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database <database>as read from the backup set</database>". So I tried to verify the backup with restore verify only and I get the message the data is invalid. Here is the bizarre part,
    I tried to restore the same database from the backup taken by my backup job automatically and it worked and I restore verify the data and it is valid. So, anytime I took a manual backup and try to restore it I get an error, but I can restore the backup from
    my backup job, please advise and share your experience , thank you.

    Thanks inadvance

    I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

  • Upgrading from Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2)

    Hello everyone;
       We are in the process of looking into  upgrading from our current Oracle 9.1.0.8 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2): Windows
    We would like to download and install the 10.2.0.1 base release (Oracle Software).   When I go on SAP Marketplace
    https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/oracle-download  and goto the (Software Download) section and click on
    Oracle 10.2 Software (32-bit versions) to download  I receive a error  NO DATA AVAILABLE.
    Is there another area to download the Oracle Software? or do I need to purchase a CD from SAP or can I download this base release straight from Oracle? 
    Thanks for your time and have a great day.

    Hello Pellegrino,
    just download it from the SAP container for each product .. for example
    -> Installations and Upgrades - Entry by Application Group -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 -> Windows Server -> ORACLE

    Yes, the network connection could not be established. Like the error said.
    What you're asking about is the exact reason, but that could be any number of things and not at all related to code. You could have the wrong host, the wrong port. A firewall could be blocking the outgoing connection, a firewall could be blocking the incoming connection. Etc. etc.

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...
