Problem with RMAN incomplete recovery

Oracle Version: 9i
Operating System: Windows 2000
I have a problem with RMAN incomplete recovery until sequence.
According to my database structure ............
SQL> SELECT GROUP#,SEQUENCE#,THREAD# FROM V$LOG;
GROUP# SEQUENCE# THREAD#
1 14 1
2 13 1
3 12 1
I took the backup of backup of full database using RMAN and i am trying to recover like this:
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 7 THREAD 1;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
BUT i am getting a message saying there is no backup of DATAFILE 1,2,......10 to restore although my database is in archivelog mode and i took a backup.
Yachendra

Please consult v$backup_datafile.
It will tell you when the file was backed up.
RMAN will always search for a datafile backup prior to the logsequence or whatever is limiting the incomplete recovery.
Likely when you made your backup Oracle was already past sequence 7.

Problem with RMAN on Oracle8.1.7 on Redhat Linux 6.2

Hi, does anyone who is using Oracle with the configuration listed below having problems running RMAN?
- Redhat 6.2 with kernel upgraded to 2.2.16-3
- Oracle 8.1.7 EE for Linux
I don't seem to be able to start RMAN even though I have enable LARGE_POOL_SIZE in the parameter file.
Whenever I type rman at the prompt, it just hangs!
If I issue rman catalog rman/rmancatdb, it will return with an error saying can't connect to catalog.
I got these messages when creating the recovery catalog for the 1st time.
I suspect its the rman executable that is playing pranks with me. I even issue "relink all" and still can't run rman.
If anyone know a solution to this please reply. Thanks.

Hi there,
Its funny...I found a solution to my problem from oracle metalink.
if anyone face the same problem you can see the solution here.
The solution is....check your PATH in .bash_profile
Make sure the $ORACLE_HOME/bin is specified before the $PATH so that it can call the right Oracle rman executable. This is becoz Linux has a command by the same name rman.
The Oracle metalink explanation is below.
On typing rman at the command prompt, the process goes for a hang. The rman utility
is not invoked nor there is any error message displayed at the prompt.
If the user types rman -h , then the following error message appears on the
screen:
rman
[-f <ASCII|roff|TkMan|Tk|Sections|HTML|SGML|MIME|LaTeX|LaTeX2e|RTF|pod>]
[-S(ource of man page passed in)] [-F(ormatted man page passed in)]
[-r <man reference printf string>] [-l <title printf string>]
[-V(olume) <colon-separated list>] [-U(RLs as hyperlinks)]
[-b (show subsections)] [-k(eep head/foot)]
[-n(ame of man page) <string>] [-s(ection) <string>]
[-p(aragraph mode toggle)] [-t(abstops spacing) <number>]
[-N(ormalize spacing, changebars)] [-y (zap hyphens toggle)]
[-K (declare that page has no breaks)]
[-d(iff) <file> (old version of page source to incorporate)]
[-M(essage) <text> (included verbatim at end of Name section)]
[-R(ebus words for TkMan)] [-C (enable Tcl/Tk formatting)]
[-o (no op)] [-O <arg> (no op with arg)]
[-q(uiet--don't report warnings)] [-h(elp)] [-v(ersion)]
[<filename>]
Solution Description
Find out which rman utility is invoked by typing ,
'which rman' at the command prompt.
Ensure that the correct utility is invoked from $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Explanation
In linux, there is a OS utility called rman. This utility is used for formatting
purposes.This resides in the /usr/bin directory.
If the ORACLE_HOME is not set properly or the PATH variable contains ORACLE_HOME/bin
at the end instead of beginning, then the rman utility provided by oracle is
not invoked.Also, no error message is thrown out, since there is another utility
by the same name.
When the environment variables are properly set, then the correct utility is
invoked from the $ORACLE_HOME/bin
Good Luck to whoever needs this solution.

Problem with redundancy in CSS 11051

I have a problem with redundancy in CSS 11051. I use firewall load balancing and server load balancing. Load balancers which only load balance over 3 firewall switch from primary to master with no problems.
problem is with load balancers which load balance over firewalls and over servers two. whene the master is shutdown, backup keeps master function, all services on backup LB are alive, but it is not possible to display web page on address 10.10.7.16. Even if I try from the network 10.10.7.0/24, so before firewalls. below my config. any help appreciate.

RMAN problem with block corruption

RMAN-05009: Block Media Recovery requires Enterprise Edition
Could some one help me in providing solution for this . we we have standard addition only .
Thanks in advance ...

It appears that there was a NOLOGGING operation on an object that resides in '/db/gist1/data/gist1_gis_nologging_01.dbf' .
NOLOGGING operations, as the name suggests, do generate limited redo log, which makes the objects affected by them non-recoverable.
RMAN Blockrecover, as far as I understand, uses full and archivelog backup to perform the block recovery. Since the archivelog backup does not store any changes related to the NOLOGGING operation, then Blockrecover would not be able to help you even if you were licensed.
You can try to restore the object as of the most recent full backup…

Experiencing problem with retention of old emails

A co-worker of mine switched to their new BB, they have been experiencing a problem with the retention of their old emails. They have pictures and music that is being saved on an extended memory chip, but the built-in memory management program of the BB device continues to kick in and remove their old email. Is there a setting that will over-ride or disable the memory management app?
Does anyone have any information on this?
Please help.
Thanks,
BBcool

If they go to Messages > Options > General Options check the Keep Messages option. What is it set for?
Also, you will want to have them check their available memory. Go to Options > Status and check the File Free parameter. If it is low then they will need to free up memory as a low amount of memory may cause the loss of messages.

Problem with .cmd/batch file, while scheduling RMAN backup

I am running Oracle 10g on Windows. I Have written RMAN Backup script & saved it as .cmd file. Now i will schedule this via AT utility on windows. While i try to run this .cmd file then after starting RMAN it does nothing, neither RMAN gets connected to target database nor backup gets started. What may be the problem??
Contents of .cmd file are like this:-
RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
backup database include current controlfile;
backup archive log;

RMAN target 'sys/manager@test'
backup database include current controlfile;
backup archive log;will not work. You are passing 3 different commands to the Windows command interpreter. CMD executes the first command 'RMAN target ...@test" and waits for it to complete before it will proceed to attempt to execute the "backup database".
That is, the "backup database" command isn't being passed to RMAN at all.
You should put the two "backup" commands in a script file (as you would do for an SQLPlus script file) -- eg backup.rmn and execute it with rman
eg
rman target 'sys/manager@test' @backup.rmn

Problem creating physical Standby database with RMAN

Hi All
I am trying to learn oracle dataguard and as part of the process learning creating standby database.
Platform : Sun-Fire-V250 Sparc, Solaris 10
Database Version - Oracle 11R2
I am creating standby database on same server, so directory structure is different.
Following the instructions on Oracle site I managed to create a functional physical standby database. But I am not able to create standby database using RMAN. These are the steps that I followed-
1.Set up all necessary parameters on primary database as done while creating physical standby database manually, eg setting force logging, creating standby logs etc.
2.Edited parameter file on primary database as done while creating manual pysical standby database creation. Some of the changes done are-
On Primary Database:
*.FAL_CLIENT='orcl11020' #Primary database unique name
*.FAL_SERVER='stdby_11' #Standby database unique name
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto
*.log_archive_config='DG_CONFIG=(orcl11020,stdby_11)'
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/<dir>/flash_recovery_area/ORCL11020/archivelog
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) db_unique_name=orcl11020'
*.log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=stdby_11 LGWR ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) db_unique_name=stdby_11'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_1='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_2='ENABLE'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT='%t_%s_%r.arc'
*.LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES=30
Copied same pfile for standby database and modified following-
*.control_files='/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl','/<dir>/fra_stdby/stdby_11/stdby_11.ctl'
*.db_name='orcl1102'
*.db_unique_name='stdby_11'
*.FAL_CLIENT='stdby_11'
*.FAL_SERVER='orcl11020'
db_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11'
log_file_name_convert='/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11','/<dir>/oradata/orcl11020/redo_mem','/<dir>/oradata/stdby_11/redo_mem'
standby_file_management=auto

3. Add relevant information in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files and then restart listener.
3. Created password file with same credential as primary database.
4.Up-to-date RMAN backup of primary database available.
5.Create standby controlfile with rman
While primary database s open (I tried with primary database in mount mode as well)-
$>rman catalog rman/paswd@rman target /
RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
6. Open a new terminal and startup standby database in nomount mode using parameter file created -
$>ORACLE_SID=stdby_11
$>export ORACLE_SID
$>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile='<location/initfilename.ora'
SQL>quit
$> rman AUXILIARY / target sys/passwd@orcl11020 catalog rman/passwd@rman
RMAN>DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY DORECOVER;
RMAN finishes without error but archive logs are not being tranported. Looking at the log, following caught my eye-
Error 1017 received logging on to the standby
Check that the primary and standby are using a password file
and remote_login_passwordfile is set to SHARED or EXCLUSIVE,
and that the SYS password is same in the password files.
returning error ORA-16191
FAL[client, ARC2]: Error 16191 connecting to orcl11020 for fetching gap sequence
Errors in file /<>dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
Errors in file /<dir>/diag/rdbms/stdby_11/stdby_11/trace/stdby_11_arc2_24321.trc:
ORA-16191: Primary log shipping client not logged on standby
So on both primary and standby I confirmed
SQL> show parameter remote_login_passwordfile
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
To make double sure that password files are same, I shutdown both databases, delete password files and recreated with same credentials.
Password files are called - orapworcl11020 and orapwstdby_11
Can someone guide me where thisngs are going wrong here please.

Not sure if I understood it clearly.
SELECT * FROM V$ARCHIVE_GAP;
returns no rows so there is no gap.
But could you please explain me the result of the previous query. To catch up again, on standby when I check
SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
SEQUENCE# APPLIED
75 NO
74 NO
76 NO
77 NO
I understand that though archive files have been copied across but they are not applied yet.
On primary when I give your query -
SELECT name as STANDBY,SEQUENCE#,applied, completion_time
2 FROM v$archived_log
3 where dest_id=2
4 and sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80;
I get -
STANDBY SEQUENCE# APPLIED COMPLETIO
stdby_11 74 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 YES 28-JUN-11
stdby_11 76 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 77 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 78 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 79 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 80 YES 29-JUN-11
stdby_11 75 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 74 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 76 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 77 NO 07-JUL-11
stdby_11 78 NO 07-JUL-11
I have intentionally given
sequence# BETWEEN 74 and 80
because I know in the current incarnaion of the database, max sequence is 78.
So my understanding is, the rows between 28-29 June are from previous incarnation, correct me if I am wrong
Archive files of the current incarnation, since I successfully created standby database are shipped but yet to be applied - am I right?
Then my final question is, when will these archives be applied to standby database?
I am sorry to ask too many questions but I am just trying to understand how it all works.
Thanks for your help again

RMAN DB retention policy

Hi,
Does following command ONLY helpful in level 1 incremental?
RMAN>CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 30 DAYS;
I want to configure to have 30 days backup must be available on tape.I also have policy anually to have tape backup and send to IRON MOUNT.
If I use following command
RMAN>CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 30;
is there any diffrence?
If CROSSCHECK BACKUP shows expired and updated repository.Can we use expired backup for recovery purpose?
Thanks

Delete archivelogs with rman

I have this setting on one database: 10.2.0.3 on linux x86
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 2;
When a backup occurs, i issue the following at the end:
delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
Which delete an old backup and old archivelogs on the server.
Situation: It happen rarely, but still, sometimes, I have to manualy delete archivelogs to make space.
Here is what i do: Ensure that the archivelogs which I am about to delete are backed up.
Then I issue the following Rman command:
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
which tells Rman that the archivelogs are not on the os anymore.
Is there a way to delete archivelogs with rman or oracle, not manually on the os?
note: i do not want to delete a backupset will doing so.
This is temporary solution. More disk space is comming and new backup scenario will be in place for this database.

Exists many ways to make this, as:
DELETE NOPROMPT FORCE COPY OF ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-1';
or
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG all DELETE ALL INPUT;
or
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG all NOT BACKED UP 2 TIMES DELETE ALL INPUT;
...
