OracleAS 10.1.2 backups

I have an Identity Management set-up with the following components on a single linux server.
OID / SSO
Metadata Repository.
My current plan is to take hot backups of the database and just take a full filesystem backup to secure everything else.
Reading the manuals it appears that Oracle provide a Backup and Recovery tool with OracleAS but I can't see what advantages this would give me.
Will my plan successfully backup the system and am I missing anything by passing on Oracle's tool?

well, the main advantage would be that if you use Oracle's specific tool, then at least you have done your backup in the 'supported' way, if you later have a problem and need to raise a support call.
To my knowlege, there is no real problem backing in the way that you have described, so long as your filesystem backup method can deal with any files which might be locked.
cheers,
R

it appears to be i should not touch the soruce db.. i have access to only source db rman backups and need to create another db with different dbname/sid.. please do help...

When you performing RMAN duplicate why you making your script so complicated?
Your instance name and DB name can be different, But what is the contents in your pfile "D:\TESTDELETE\initclonedb1.ora" ? please do post
Have you started any other services related to ORACLE? check in start --> run --> services.msc any other active oracles services, Make sure you have clonedb1.
Startup in nomount
check the connectivity to target server.
SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO 'F:\app\HOME\oradata\clonedb1\TEMP01.DBF';Why you mentioning SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ? You have option of db_file_name_convert/log_file_name_convert in case if your file system different in Target & auxiliary.
BACKUP LOCATION 'F:\app\HOME\flash_recovery_area\orcl\'When you have backup in same location why you are mentioning this clause?
First run duplicate from auxiliary server as
rman target sys/*****@prod auxiliary /
RMAN> duplicate target database to "db_name";
Am not sure what you are trying to do. is it 11gR1 or 11gR2?
You have option of duplicate from active database without having backup also..
here some links please check it.

Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup

Hi
Can anybody provide AIX shell script for Oracle Apps R12 instance backup? Manually, i am able to backup but i donot have shell script to schedule through crontab.
Help me please.
Thanks

Rman can be used for Database, not for Application tier. Again, I assumed you are looking for a script to backup the database. For the application tier, you can simply do a filesystem backup.
I still do not understand your concern? Is it about using crontab? If so, then check here --> man crontab <--

Error While Restoring the Oracle Database using Cloud Backup

Hello,
I have been facing a serious error while oracle restoration. I have Backed up Complete Database. For Testing restoration, the DBA removed all the DBF, logs and Control File from there orignal Position.
He restarted the Database in "Startup nomount" mode. No i am not able to connect to target database from my Backup Server remotely.
Whenever i try to restore, it shows following error:-
***RMAN-04005: error from target database:***
***ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections***
***ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections***
***"ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections***
I am using Oracle 11g R2 x64-bit database and on Windows Platform with Windows Server 2008 R2.
Can Anyone help me by connecting, rman to the remote target database when it is in nomount mode.
I am not able to connect the sqlplus remotely.\
Thanks in Advance...
Regards
Pravesh Upadhyay

Devika,
You have to stop all your adapters, your repository, close all IStudio client and stop all sessions connected to this schema before running the oaiimport.
If you don't do this the oaiimport will not work properly as the script will not be able to drop the user and will try to re-create existing objects.
Tip : use the following select to list the session using oaihub902 user (and get rid off them)
select username, count(*)
from V$session
where username in ('OAIHUB902')
group by username
order by count(*) desc, username

Oracle recovery from tape backup

A plea for help fellows,
Can an a few Oracle tables be recovered using datafile/s that were backed up to conventional tape back up?
The story is that a few days ago I started trying to recover tables for a warehouse (10.2.0.1.0) that appeared as recovered by using EM and rman script embedded in such that gave me a 'confirmation' that the rows were flashed back. It turns out that the rows were not there (unless something else has to be done after the confirmation message in EM), and this was done on three tables.
It has now passed the time (apparently) that I can flash back the tables, as I use the SCN for the relevent time to recover (a flashback query) and I get 'ora-01555: snapshot too old' - the undo won't reach back that far. The database is in archivelog mode. It has now reached a point where the data warehouse owner would like the tables back pronto, but only three of hundreds of tables. What is desired by the data warehouse owner is for the tables to be restored to a location where his team members can pick the 'necessary rows to recover' from a restored copy of the tables.
If I could restore whole tables - to different name, (even unnecessary ones) or even a whole tablespace - different name, the contents could be gotten rid of once it has been scavenged. But the tape restored data file/s would have a different SCN.
Can someone tell me how this can be done please? What is the level of difficulty?
Regards, David

So basically, you want to get 3 tables from an old hot or cold backup taken sometime ago, correct? If so, create another seperate db, restore the old db, recreate the controlfile, recover(if restoring a hot backup), open the db and then export the tables.
Another option is to use RMAN to restore the db, open the db and perform export.
You can then, say create another schema in the target db in another tablespace and then import the tables under the new user's schema.
Hope this helps.

SAP R/3 on Oracle 9i : check online backup

Hi there,
I would like to integrate a check on the status of the online database backup (which runs on a daily basis) into a central monitoring system.
On way to do it is to check on OS level for the latest backup log file and read the status at the end of this file.
I wonder if it's also possible to check the backup status by doing a select on database table(s) and if so which table(s) should I query ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Erik

Hi,
You can implement CCMS alert configuration in your system to check the status of daily backup. For that use tcode RZ20->Monitoring>Oracle>Backup/restore>Backup status>Last succ. complete database backup or Last brbackup run
YOu also need to create a monitoring method in RZ21.
Please refer SAP Note 0176492 for details
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Oracle 10G Express Edition backup issues

After a backup job is run on our Oralce 10g Express Edition Server our system users can't access their web login page -
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex - To access their databse.
What i need to know is this.
I do a daily backup of the Oracle DB manually, the one that comes with express edition, but when the backup is comple users can't access the afforementioned web address as i have stated
1 - Does anyone know what can be causing this?
2 - When i backup the database manually where does the database actually backup to?
3 - I was thinking of backing up the Oralce DB manually usning XE's own backup then running Symatec backup Software to backup this file.In the event of a system crash i could then simply restore the operating system (windows 2003), reinstall XE and import the file i had backedup with XE . Does this sound like a good solution

No idea why users cant access the login page, maybe trying to post on XE forum Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) may help for this.
But you may use Rman with XE, it is a best practice for Oracle B&R and it is easy to control the backup destination with Rman - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/admin.102/b25107/backrest.htm#sthref414
Also these demos may help - http://psoug.org/reference/rman_demos.html

Oracle 9i TEMP tablespace backup problem using RMAN!

Oracle8/8i whole backup is ok for our backup software(using RMAN without RC database), but for Oracle 9i, I get following error messages when backing up temp tablespace.
1. RMAN-20202: tablespace not found in the recovery catalog
2. RMAN-06019: could not translate tablespace name "TEMP"
I check some views of Oracle9i, and know some changes happen for temp tablespace in 9i, but how to deal with this problem. Any idea, please!

In 9i RMAN does not restore temporary datafiles. Instead, you should create them after your restore. I believe that Oracle is going to make a change to this in the next release of 9i and have RMAN create the temporary files. You can view the temporary datafiles @ v$tempfile.
I believe RMAN doesn't restore temporary files because they are locally managed and not in the control files. RMAN reads the controlfile of the target database to obtain info about backups, datafiles, etc.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Restore from Online backup without any archive logs

Hi,
May be a dumb question. If I have a good online backup (say it took 2 hours to do that. And there is database activity while backup is going on), and lost all the archive logs happened after the online backup, is it possible at all to do the restore using that backup? complete or incomplete? and bring back the database to normal operation mode? Some details on this.
Thanks.

Let us see the reasoning behind this.
Database:WORLDDB
WORLDDB configuration:-
TBSP_WDB
->TBSP_WDB_01.dbf
->TBSP_WDB_02.dbf
SYSTEM
->SYSTEM.dbf
USERS
and so on for the tablespaces.
CASE 1:-
User managed backup.
You issue
ALTER TABLESPACE TBSP_WDB BEGIN BACKUP;
DB keeps working all transactions are recorded in the redo stream, the scn information is not updated in the file header.
Also note that the other tablespaces were been continuously worked on hence their scn numbers are a moving target.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96572/osbackups.htm#10012
So if you begin tablespace TBSP_WDB backup at time t1 and by the time you are done with your backups you are at time t2, you will need all of the archive log's between time t1 and t2.
CASE 2:-
If we do with rman, rman takes care of the file header update information and goes on its merry way, those details are hidden from the end user. If one of the tablespace is fractured, updated while backups are going on , rman knows about it and will re-read the affected blocks in question.
My thinking would be that you might need archive logs, unless it is a cold backup, with switch logfiles in between.
If you do hot backups you need archivelogs is my thought. The number of archivelogs required will be decreased considerably through rman.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmconc1.htm#458821
Summary:-
Either way archivelogs are needed.

OLD Oracle 7.1.6 Backup question

Hi Folks,
I am working on a VERY old version of Oracle (7.1.6.2.0) running on an equally old HP9000 (HP-UX 9.05) system (think early to mid-1990's). I have been tasked to backup this database and I'm having problems locating the correct documentation to perform this duty. Can someone please outline the steps required to backup a database either admin tool or from the command-line SQL*Plus interface?
Thank you in advance.

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.
