Oracle9i job submission for backup & restore.

Hi All,
I am working on a utility for getting the backup,restore & sheduled the same as job to the oracle9i. i have created the script for taking the backup & restore but i don't have any idea to submit a job to the oracle9i jobs from my java application.
Thanks for any help.

I'm feeling a little dense today, so I want to reiterate what I think you are saying. Please let me know where I am wrong or something is missing.
1) You have written a Java program that executes an external O/S command.
2) That external O/S command is an *.cmd or *.bat file that includes logic to backup your database (Oracle commands?).
3) You want the external O/S command to run at some given time interval, but must be invoked through the Java program.
If I have any of the above correct, then I am also assuming that there is a tight coupling of the Java program with the scripting (invokes the scripts with specific dates, times, files, tablespaces, etc).
Again, if any of this is correct, then:
a) You could compile the Java program into Oracle and run it using the Oracle internal JVM as a stored procedure or function. This would allow you to schedule the execution of the Java program using Oracle scheduling.
However, I don't think I get it yet, because your concerns don't seem to match what I believe you are trying to do. I do have quite a bit of experience in these types of things, so I will try and help if I can.

RMAN parameters - to use more CPU for Backup & Restore

Hi Friends,
I am using RMAN backup on 11g database on windows.
RMAN is taking almost 1 hr to restore the database and i could see the CPU usage is very less - less than 10% during restore.
so how can i make the RMAN backup and restore faster by using more CPU on windows.

DB

Even better, check the wait events in your database and you'll know why the backup / restore is not as expected.

Flashback questions for backup -Restore -Recovery

Hello,
We are planning to implement flashback on our database, and i have configured flashback on my development database, but i have some question before adopt backup/recovery solution using flashback.
(1) If i have configured flashback database, and any non-temp datafile will be lost, will flashback will do automatic restore or recovery or what?
(2) Can we do incomplete recovery or point in time recovery using flashback database?
(3) if i revert to one of restore point, then open resetlogs are mandatory or what ?
Thanks and Regards,
V.SINGH

Hi,
(1) If i have configured flashback database, and any non-temp datafile will be lost, will flashback will do automatic restore or recovery or what?
no. It will not do automatically.
(2) Can we do incomplete recovery or point in time recovery using flashback database?
yes. you can use the restore and recovery method, but you have to disable flashback database during restore and recover time.
(3) if i revert to one of restore point, then open resetlogs are mandatory or what ?
yes, it is required. other wise you can open database in readonly mode.
If you have the metalink access refer below note for more clarity.

Using OEM to backup/restore DB using EMC Avamar (3rd party)

Hi,
I'm trying to find a solution for using OEM to backup and restore DB using EMC Avamar software.
Normally, we can backup/restore DB using Avamar through RMAN CLI using scripts similar to the following:
connect target /
run {
configure controlfile autobackup on;
set controlfile autobackup format for device type sbt to 'CONTROLFILE.orcl.%F';
allocate channel c0 type sbt PARMS="SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll" format '%d_%U';
send '"--prefix=11g/orcl/" "--flagfile=c:\flagfile\avtar-flags.txt" "--bindir=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin"';
backup database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel c0;
Where orasbt64.dll is the name of Avamar's 64bit library and flagfile contains some internal flags necessary for backup/restore operations.
Now, I want to use OEM for the same thing so, what I did was try to specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters under Backup Settings in OEM. I saved the following as the parameters:
"SBT_LIBRARY=c:\PROGRA~1\avs\bin\orasbt64.dll";
Even after this, the backup script generated by OEM does not contain this parameter. Naturally, backups to EMC Avamar fail.
I would like answers to these 2 questions:
1. How to correctly specify the Media Management Vendor Library Parameters?
2. Is there a way to specify all the parameters (--prefix, flagfile, bindir, PARMS etc.) so that the script generated by OEM is same (or as close as possible) to the one I use for RMAN CLI backups.
Thanks!

Hi Anant,
I'm also having the same issue. It fails because it doesn't understand the "send" command in OEM. Here is the output of the tape backup test:
RMAN> run {
2> allocate channel oem_sbt_backup type 'sbt_tape' format '%U' parms 'SBT_LIBRARY=/usr/local/avamar/lib/libobk_avamar64.so,
3> ENV=(PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/avamar/bin);
4> send "--flagfile=/home/oracle/scripts/backup/my-avtar-flags.txt"';
5> backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET current controlfile tag '04302012033156';
6> restore controlfile validate from tag '04302012033156';
7> release channel oem_sbt_backup;
8> }

When I use TSM it doesn't require the "send" command and it backs up successfully. I guess the other option would be to create an EM job to do the backups. However, this wouldn't populate the EM tables for backup reporting.

Can I use time machine for backup but also keep my itunes library on my external and not on my MacBook Pro?

I have two 1TB external drives that I planned on using for backup of my MacBook Pro (Not actually sure how to use them both as duplicate backups but I'l have to figure that out later). What I'm wanting to do is use the external as a backup but I'd also like to keep the majority of my music on the external drive so I can keep the space free on my MacBook. Is this possible?

Possible, but not advisable.
You would be using the same drive for backup & normal (live) uses at the same time. That pretty much negates the whole purpose of backup, at least as far as that single drive would be concerned.
Better to devote 1 drive to backup (TM or otherwise) and a 2nd drive for online (live) usage.
One more thing ... you don't really have effective backup until you have at least 2 separate backups on 2 separate drives, neither of which is connected to your Mac except for backup & restore operations. Three is even better.

Backup/restore using RMAN with no catalog

Hi all,
Can someone tell me if this is correct:
I have two identical machines, same configuration and same file structure, everything is the same.
On machine A, I have a 9.2.0.7 database running. I take a hot backup and try to restore it on machine B.
Note: I am using RMAN for backup/restore whith no catalog.
This is how I perform backup on machine A:
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '/backup/level0_%u' BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '/backup/control_primary' FORCE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL format '/backup/archivelogs_%s_%t';
On machine B, here is how I perform restore:
SET DBID 1221334455;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/backup/control_primary';
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
RESTORE DATABASE VALIDATE;
RESTORE DATABASE;
Recover database;
Thanks,

You forgot to restore the spfile or pfile on the second node to go to nomount state.
OR
You can use RMAN Duplicate to do this.

Lync Backup/Restore with SQL backup

Is it possible to backup and restore the XDS database (Lync topology and configuration information) using SQL database tools? Technet is very confusing, it describes in great detail how to use cmdletts to export the configuration then back it up with
te regular backups. But then at link for Backup - restore best practices it states "The simplest and most commonly used backup type and rotation schedule is a full, nightly backup of the entire SQL Server database. Then, if restoration is necessary,
the restoration process requires only one backup and no more than a day’s data should be lost."
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202184.aspx
Best Practices for Backup and Restoration
To facilitate your back up and restoration process, apply the following best practices when you back up or restore your data:
Perform regular backups at appropriate intervals. The simplest and most commonly used backup type and rotation schedule is a full, nightly backup of the entire SQL Server database. Then, if restoration is necessary, the restoration process requires only
one backup and no more than a day’s data should be lost.
If you use cmdlets or the Lync Server Control Panel to make configuration changes, use the
Export-CsConfiguration cmdlet to take a snapshot backup of the topology configuration file (Xds.mdf) after you make the changes so that you won't lose the changes if you need to restore your databases.
Ensure that the shared folder you plan to use for backing up Lync Server 2010 has sufficient disk space to hold all the backed up data.
Schedule backups when Lync Server usage typically is low to improve server performance and the user experience.
Ensure that the location where you back up data is secure.
Keep the backup files where they are available in case you need to restore the data.
Plan for and schedule periodic testing of the restoration processes supported by your organization.
Validate your backup and restoration processes in advance to ensure that they work as expected.

Sapinst error backup/restore phase create controlfile

Hello experts
I am doing a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools backup/restore.Oracle 10.2.0.5, HP-UX, ECC 6.0
Source = ZD1 and Target = ZD1 (Yes they are both same) Source was a fresh install with brand new Export data (SID = ZD1) and now we are replacing the database with a copy of our existing Dev system (also SID = ZD1)
Restored the backup over target using OFFLINE backup. Have not run any "recover database ...." or "alter database open resetlogs" yet because sapinst is suppose to do this.
My control script looks like this: filename = CONTROL.SQL
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ZD1" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 255
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
    MAXDATAFILES 254
    MAXINSTANCES 50
    MAXLOGHISTORY 23371
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 (
    '/oracle/ZD1/origlogA/log_g11m1.dbf',
then all the data file paths (which I verified to be correct)
ends with:
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
Now here is the issue:
1) When I manually run the CONTROL.SQL and then just do a alter database open resetlogs everything is fine. Database mounts and opens fine. However when I run the sapinst it tries to run the CONTROL.SQL again and messes up everything. I would like to skip this phase in sapinst and change ERROR to OK in keydb.xml file. Question is when should I do this ? Before starting sapinst so that it skips this or during the phase it stops and asks for backup/restore ?
2) Instead creating files manually I also let sapinst do this. But it throws an error during control file creation. When I used the above CONTROL.SQL it says must use resetlogs to open database. Then I restored all over again and added the line alter database open resetlogs at the end of CONTROL.SQL
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_61/sr3.data61',
'/oracle/ZD1/sapdata4/sr3_62/sr3.data62'
CHARACTER SET UTF8
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESTLOGS;
And then ran sapinst again from scratch and now it throws error file 1 needs media recovery.
This is weird and I don't know why sapinst acting smart here and wont let me do it and when it does it by himself it messes up.
Is my CONTROL.SQL scripts correct ? Whats the best approach here.
Thank you

Hello Nicholas
Thank you. I have replaced the CONTROL>SQL in the installation directory itself. Its in /tmp/sapinst_instdir/ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS And yes it IS picking up the control.sql that I provided and not the default.
DatabaseSAP
Thank you. I have never commented anything in keydb.xml before. But sounds like a good idea because if I can restore it myself I really want to skip this step. Should I just do it before start of sapinst and what exact lines to comment ? Which keydb should I edit ? I found several but looks like ./ERP/LM/COPY/ORA/SYSTEM/CENTRAL/AS/keydb.xml is the right one.
root@zepsapa1 # find . -name keydb.xml

./ERP/SYSTEM/ORA/CENTRAL/AS/log_18_Dec_2011_08_05_17/keydb.xml
Also what exactly am I commenting here ? I see step RunControlScript is the one causing problems and I dont want it to create any control files. Please advise what exactly I need to comment and when. And what about changing the ERROR to OK ?

Backup/Restore for my demo database

Howdy all. I am running Oracle 10g Standard Edition on Windows 2K Server. I have the following situation ...
I would like to make a standard demo database for my company. This database would be put on several machines and used by sales people to demo our software to possible customers. I need to be able to restore this database on a machine with Oracle 10g installed and then run our software on it.
I can make the database and run our software on it just fine on my machine. I am, however running into problems when trying to learn how Oracle and RMAN work with backups and restoring those backups. I am coming from the MSSQL2K environment where backup/restore is fairly simple and straightforward.
Will somebody please give me a basic idea of what I need to do in order to take the database on my machine and back it up and then restore it on another machine. I don't want to have the restore depend on a given file/directory structure. Our software depends on two tablespaces in the Oracle database. So, if it is easier to somehow backup the two tablespaces and restore them than it is to backup the entire database and restore it - then that is great. I will do it that way.
I am basically looking for the simplest approach for restoring this demo database wherever I want to quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
wally

Jeffrey, here's what I use to do this, I have a production database that on occassion I need to make a copy of to perform some testing on, so I just use this to create an "auxiliary" database using the RMAN backups from the production database. I thought in 10g there was a database clone function, I'll have to look that up and get back to you, anyway, here's the instructions I use.
Target Database = RMAN Target (Source database to be copied.)
Auxiliary Database = RMAN Auxiliary (Duplicated database end result)
1. Copy the target databaseâs init.ora file to the auxiliary databaseâs location.
2. Modify disk locations for control files, archive logs and dump dests in init.ora if required
3. Create locations for data files, dump dests, control files and log files
4. Copy RMAN backup files and archive logs to same location on auxiliary DB server as they are on target DB server
5. Create Oracle Service using ORADIM utility
6. Start instance in nomount
7. Create listener.ora entry on auxiliary server
8. Create tnsnames.ora entry on target server
9. Connect to rman catalog, target and auxiliary from the target server:
     RMAN> connect catalog rman/<password>@<catalog db>
     RMAN> connect target sys/<password>@<target db>
     RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/<password>@<auxiliary db>
10. Run the following (modify the sequence count and datafile renames as required.)
run{
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SYSTEM01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 2 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\RBS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 3 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\USERS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 4 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TEMP01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 5 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\TOOLS01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 6 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\INDX01.DBF';
set newname for datafile 7 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBDATA.DBF';
set newname for datafile 8 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBIDX.DBF';
set newname for datafile 9 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\SMDBTEMP.DBF';
set newname for datafile 10 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITDATA.ORA';
set newname for datafile 11 to 'e:\ORACLE\ORADATA\MTSD\AUDITAR.ORA';
duplicate target database to mtsd
logfile

Backup & Restore loses "Groups" in "Contacts" - request for fix

Hi,
I am a new Blackberry user and have found that the Blackberry Link backup/restore functions fail to keep track of my Groups within my Contacts list. When I carry out a Restore all my Contacts are restored but all my Groups within Contacts disapperar (although the contacts within my Groups are still retained in my Contacts list).
Does anyone have a fix for this issue please?
I am using Link v 1.2.1 (build18) and BB release 10.2.1.2977 on my Z10.
I do not want to Sync my phone contacts with my Address Book on my Mac since I use them independently.
Thank you for your advice!!

Yeah, for some reason Groups are not restored. Syncing wouldn't work anyway since groups are not sync'd either.
I would suggest updating to the latest version of LInk which is 1.2.3.48. I haven't tested for the backup/restore of groups, though.

REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE on BlackBerry Protect for BB10 operating system ?

Does anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else know if BlackBerry will introduce for the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system, the >
REMOTE BACKUP & RESTORE feature as is available on the BlackBerry Protect on the
operating 7 system ?
This is a vital secure cloud backup to the BlackBerry servers and was used by millions of BlackBerry customers on the BlackBerry Protect on the BlackBerry operating 7 system, but it was not included by BlackBerry on the BlackBerry Protect on the operating 10 system.
This is vital and needed most urgently so we can do secure and reliable cloud Backups and Restores from our BlackBerry 10 devices to the secure BlackBerry cloud servers.
All other third party applications to download and use as an alternative, simply do not work and are not stable or reliable or safe or secure.
This was the only totally safe and reliable and secure cloud Backup and Restore and BlackBerry must bring this feature back as either an update or as a new download, but it must be introduced in to the operating 10 software.
Please can anyone at BlackBerry or anywhere else tell me if it will be on the operating 10 software in the near future ?
Also BlackBerry must bring the ( SELECT ALL ) feature to its operating 10 software.
This was a vital feature on the operating 7 software that has also been left out.
This feature is vital when wanting to delete or transfer ALL files in a stored location on the phone or SD card.
If you have for example 100 songs or pictures or documents saved and you want to delete all in one hit, then you would just go in to that folder, for example, just the picture folder if you want to delete all pictures and then you would press >
( SELECT ALL ) and all the contents of that folder you selected would be deleted, in the same way, you can also click on > ( SELECT ALL ) on the contents of that folder to transfer those contents in one hit using Bluetooth to another mobile device or computer.
At this moment when you use a BlackBerry 10 device, this feature is not there and you need to go in to that folder and manually select each and every item that you want to delete or transfer, one item at a time, which is very time consuming and frustrating.
Does anyone at BlackBerry know if this >
( SELECT ALL ) feature will be available for the BlackBerry 10 operating system in the near future in a software update ?
Can anyone please help ?
Any information on my above two issues ?

I know BlackBerry is working on their cloud service but no word on when or just what they will offer in the future.
As for "select all" that would be nice but haven't heard anything about it coming. It's not in 10.3.1.

Packup - a simple backup/restore/migration script for Pacman

I have seen numerous posts on the forums asking for an easy way to backup and restore installed software for purposes of backup, migration or simply for convenience. Packup attempts to fill this void. Simply put, Packup is an ncurses wrapper for Pacman which provides a simple backup/restore/migration system for Arch. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself!
