Hi,
When i recreate controlfile ... It creates a set of datafile...

select name from v$datafile;
i dint find the files.. but when i gave

Problem while recreating control file : Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g version of database. i have multiple databases. I was not able to start one database which led to control file error. Then I found that the file got corrupted. I used the following syntax to restore my control file.
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "mydb" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG

MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
MAXDATAFILES 30
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 800
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 'redolog location' SIZE 500K
DATAFILE
'datafilelocation.dbf'
but it failed with the following error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01115: IO error reading block from file (block # 1)
ORA-01110: data file : 'datafilelocation.dbf'

ORA-27070: async read/write failed
OSD-04006: ReadFile() failure, unable to read from file

Does this mean the datafiles are also corrupted? if yes, please do let me know how i can restore my datafiles. my system is of windows XP 2002.
thanks,

Hi,
thanks for all your replies. But I am using the full path for the log and for the datafiles. Just didnt want to reveal that before. Anyway below is the complete path that i was using.

It is stull failing. I was not able to open the datafiles also. Looks like those are also very much corrupted. Does this mean my DB is crashed? Is there any way that I can correct the below error or only reinstallation would solve the issue. I do have all the database dump though. Please suggest me with the solution. I would like to make the reinstall as the last option.

Problem while Creating Control files while Cloning the Oracle DB

Hi,
I am failrly new to Oracle Administration. I have got the task of cloning our Production database into a new machine. With the help of various articles found over the web I have followed the below mentioned steps
1)Executed the Alter database command for getting the control file copy.
2) Taken the Datafiles,Control and redo log files copies into the Target machine.
3) Copied the Pfile with the neccessary changes into the target machine.
4) Edited the Create Control file syntax (generated from step 1) and executed the same on the target machine.
Now the problem I face is that I get the following error while executing the create Control file syntax
a)ORA-01503 - Creation of Controlfile failed.
b) ORA-00219 - Required controlfile size 41760 exceeds max allowable size 20000.
I am really stuck. Both my machine configurations and O/S installed are the same.
Please advice me on how to Proceed... Thanking you all in advannce.

Upgraded to 10.2.0.2.0, but problem with 'identifying control file'

I just applied the metalink patch to upgrade from 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.2.0 in order to install the SOA Suite. It was a clean install for 10.2.0.1.0, followed by applying the patch. I am now trying to run the new database, but I get an error:
ORA-00205: error in identifying controle file, check alert log for more info.
I edited by init.ora file, and the two control files are there as (ora_control1, ora_control2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Anthony

We had a similar issue and had to fix it by copying all the data files and control files to backup then ...
1) run database creation assistant to delete the database
2) using database creation assistant, create a new database with the same name
3) shut down the new database
4) leaving the new spfile in place, copy all the backups back over including controlfiles.
5) startup the database.
Don't know if it will help in your situation or not, but worth a try if someone else has the same type of problem.

Recreating control file in RAC with noresetlogs

Hi all,
I need to recreate the controlfile in a 2-node RAC environment (9i)
for altering the MAXLOGHISTORY value. I will be using noresetlogs as I
have all the online logs available with me.
I referred to metalink note (Note:118931.1) for the same, and to
clarify the same, it refers to set cluster_database to false and then
to true after creating the new controlfile.
Here I have Log Groups 1,2,5,6,7 belongs to instance1 and the rest belongs to
instance2
Below is the trace of controlfile...
create controlfile reuse database "prod" noresetlogs force logging
archivelog
maxlogfiles 64
maxlogmembers 3
maxdatafiles 800
maxinstances 32
maxloghistory 15000

group 2 '/dev/rprod_redo12' size 100m,

group 9 '/dev/rprod_redo24' size 100m,
group 10 '/dev/rprod_redo25' size 100m
-- standby logfile
datafile
Please clarify on the same, do the traced controlfile need to have some thread info for redo logs & do I need to make the cluster_database parameter to fale/true.
Thanks!
Prat

1. Create the trace file (with Create control file statements..)
2. Edit the trace file, to remove the log groups which doesn't belong to Instance 1 (in you case you would be removing groups 3,4,8,9,10).
3. Shutdown all the instances.
4. edit the init.ora file to make CLUSTER_DATABASE=FALSE:
5. startup nomount instance 1.
6. Run the edited trace file to create the control file.
7. shutdown instance 1.
8. edit the init.ora file to make CLUSTER_DATABASE=TRUE;
9. Startup instance 1;
10. Add the log groups for the instance 2 (groups 3,4,8,9,10)
11. Add tempfiles as indicated in the trace file.
12. Enable thread 2;
13. Startup instance 2.
As always, take backups.

Best script for recreating control file

Hi
Yesterday I had a lot of fun trying to refresh a Dev db with an inconsistent backup (just learned that the offline backup from that night finished late and not before the db was started up again, thus making datafile inconsistent).
Today I will try again. I am waiting for the tape backup to finish restoring to the Dev datafile directory.
I would love to know if there is a template out there, or if we can agree here, for the best standard for recreating a control file through a @script.
I will include the one I intend to use here, minus the datafiles.
I am using the RESETLOGS, since we are using :"SET" database.

AIX 5.2
Oracle 9.2

I normally break it up into seperate scripts (even though the "trace" file generates a single script file).
1. The first is the CREATE CONTROLFILE itself. If successful , it also mounts the database.
The most important portion is to validate that we do have ALL the datafiles included.
(eg if you are generating from an old controlfile backup and some new datafile(s) have been added since that backup you had better ensure that you add them to the script , else the RECOVER DATABASE will ignore them and they will be unrecoverable after the OPEN RESETLOGS !)
2. The next portion is the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE which I never run non-interactively.
Always ensure that it is NOT an interactive run. If you really have more than a dozen archivelogs to apply, then you could just enter AUTO after supplying the first 3 or 4 archivelogs and wait for the RECOVER DATABASE to "error" out after it applies the last archivelog.
3. The next portion is a manual RECOVER to apply any Archivelogs that couldn't be applied by the AUTO -- eg Archives that weren't on disk but which I've restored OR the actual last Active/Current Online Redo Logs that hadn't been applied.
between step 3 and step 4,
to be safe : I could SHUTDOWN (it is MOUNTED but not OPEN) and take a Cold Backup of the database files and controlfiles. -- This can help me retry a RESETLOGS or restore a datafile that I might have mistakenly excluded from the CREATE CCF script
and re-"recover" database -- meaning that Oracle will recover that datafile alone.
4. Finally I review the alert.log, satisfy myself that I have applied all archivelogs and then manually issue the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.
5. Now I add TEMPFILEs (if 10g hasn't done it "automagically")
6. If I have time, take a Cold Backup OR initiate a Hot Backup asap.
I know that 10g now provides supported methods of recovering through a RESETLOGS, based on Incarnation ID, ... but still , old habits and old commands die hard.
Have I answered your question about how to format the CREATE CCF ? No. But I've just added some inputs on how I prefer the next few steps be done.

I am facing a problem while creating a new control file:
O.S=Windows 7 ORacle 10g
What i want to do:
1. The database has been created, now i have deleted the control file of my database to learn creating a new one.
2. I have issued the command :
create controlfile reuse database ipl noresetlogs;
3. I am getting an error
Error at line 1:

Hello;
So this is what I would do :
Backup Primary ( change to your directory as need )
RMAN RUN {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all;
backup current controlfile for standby format '/u01/backups/PRIMARY/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p';
release channel d1;
}Move the backup and duplicate like this :
rman target sys/password@PRIMARY auxiliary /
RMAN> run {
allocate channel C1 device type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby nofilenamecheck;
}For complete details of this method see :

Problem in creating control files

Hi
I am using oracle 9i
I want to import the excel sheet data into the database.
Please let me know how to create the control file for sql loader.
For that i created control file using the following code
set echo off ver off feed off pages 0
accept tname prompt 'Enter Name of Table: '
accept dformat prompt 'Enter Format to Use for Date Columns: '
spool &tname..ctl
select 'LOAD DATA'|| chr (10) ||
'INFILE ''' || lower (table_name) || '.dat''' || chr (10) ||
'INTO TABLE '|| table_name || chr (10)||
'FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','''||chr (10)||
'TRAILING NULLCOLS' || chr (10) || '('
from user_tables
where table_name = upper ('&tname');
select decode (rownum, 1, ' ', ' , ') ||
rpad (column_name, 33, ' ') ||
decode (data_type,
'VARCHAR2', 'CHAR NULLIF ('||column_name||'=BLANKS)',
'FLOAT', 'DECIMAL EXTERNAL NULLIF('||column_name||'=BLANKS)',
'NUMBER', decode (data_precision, 0,
'INTEGER EXTERNAL NULLIF ('||column_name||
'=BLANKS)', decode (data_scale, 0,
'INTEGER EXTERNAL NULLIF ('||

'DATE', 'DATE "&dformat" NULLIF ('||column_name||'=BLANKS)', null)
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = upper ('&tname')
order by column_id;
select ')'
from dual;
spool off
and after then i have written in the commond prompt like
C:\sqlldr username/password@host controlfile
then it is giving like this
Commit point reached - logical record count 1
Any Help?
Thank you

What does it say in the .log file?
What records are in the .bad file?
How many records in the data file - if 1 then it's all good.
Excel often puts column headings in the .csv file - you may need to SKIP the first record (look it up in the docs).
Don't hard code the filename into the control file - it's easier to do that when you load:
sqlldr u/p control=controlfile data=datafileRead carefully what FLOAT and DECIMAL mean. Unless you are dealing with binary datatypes (you aren't) you probably don't need these. Only DATE needs careful treatment.
Also, consider pulling the data in using an external table (if it is on the Oracle server already). Again, look it up in the docs - you'll still have to get the control definition right...

Hi...
Please mention the size of the redolog files..which you haven't and secondly, tempfile is not be added in the control file script, create the temporary tablespace later after opening the database
1. Change the control_files parameter in the pfile, which you have done.
2. startup nomount pfile='pfile/location/name/';
3.
create controlfile set database ntstrman resetlogs archivelog
maxlogfiles 50
maxlogmembers 3
maxloghistory 400
maxdatafiles 200
maxinstances 6
logfile
group 1 '/oradata/ntstrman/redo01.log' SIZE xxxM,
group 2 '/oradata/ntstrman/redo02.log' SIZE xxxM,
group 3 '/oradata/ntstrman/redo03.log' SIZE xxxM
datafile
'/oradata/ntstrman/sysaux01.dbf',
'/oradata/ntstrman/system01.dbf',
'/oradata/ntstrman/undotbs01.dbf',
'/oradata/ntstrman/users01.dbf'
;4. alter database open resetlogs
5. create temporary tablespace tempfile 'temp/file/location/name' size xxxM ;

Output is no longer available in the database control file

Hi All
in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) - on suse Linux 9, OEM (10.2.0.1.0); I'm getting when I try to look at RMAN reports that databases reports are "Job output is no longer available in the database control file." - one one database.
I've searched forum and only found one thread
(25/9/2007 - Re: rman backups )
that doesn't have any conclusion to the problem. Has anyone seen this problem before, and do you know if it means there is a problem with the control file?
Thanks, DW

Looks like Bug 4659734
I totally agree with what you say grylew "If you use rman catalogue you shouldn't get this error"; for me, on a Suse 9 Linux server (10.2.0.1.0 db), the error eventually found was ORA-19921 ;
RMAN-06900: WARNING: unable to generate V$RMAN_STATUS or V$RMAN_OUTPUT row
RMAN-06901: WARNING: disabling update of the V$RMAN_STATUS and V$RMAN_OUTPUT rows
ORACLE error from target database:
ORA-19921: maximum number of 64 rows exceeded
Which turns out to say it is a bug fixable by only 10.2.0.4.0 patch or 11g. So awaiting 10.2.0.4.0 I guess.
It all seems to be error assocaited with control file space; and I'f rather keep my control files healthy thanks.
Besides all this; for me the problem is pretty innocuous; it means OEM mis-reports success of archivelog backups; I can see they're successful in 'job's but not in 'backup reports'.
Thanks all for help, DW

RECREATE DATABASE Using CONTROL File After SUSPEND Database

Hello All,
Does someone can tell me if he does achieve recreating a database using "Backup Control File" after putting database in "suspend" mode?
The procedure looks like this :
1 - Alter DATABASE Suspend
2 - A Snapshot of the filesystem where the oracle datafile are located
3 - Copy of those files to another file systeme
4 - Startup setting a new database name
Does someone as do it successfully ?
Thanks for your answer

Carlos,
I tried to do it without putting the tablespaces in backup mode and it didn't work for me. At that time adding the backup mode wasn't a big deal for me, so I didn't investigate the problem thoroughly.
Logically thinking you sould be able to do:
1. suspend database
the SCNs recored in datafiles headers could be incosistent at this point
2. make a snapshot
3. mount the backup database
4. run recover until cancel using backup controlfile - I don't think you can avoid this step in case if you have inconsistent SCNs in the datafiles headers - you'll need to synchronize them
5. open resetlogs.
the suspend database should eliminate the possibility of inconsistent data within a block during the backup.
Just out of curiosity - why don't you want to put the tablespace in the backup mode?
