Restore RMAN from different Database Rman backup

Hi Everybody
I am practicing Rman so I have one query that how to restore rman backup from another database.
For Example :
1. I have Rman backup of DB1 with level 0 and level 1 cumulative database plus archievelog
2. I need to import or restore Rman backup of DB1 to another database DB2.
What is the procedure for doing the above queries. Please anyone one help me out.
I have using oracle 10g r2 running in windows server 2003.
Thanks in advance.

These are the steps ; you need to write the appropiate commands for each step: Hope it helps!
1) Take appropriate RMAN backup of the database db1. Note that you should turn on the CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP configuration so that we have the controlfile backed up after the database backup. When we restore the controlfile on new host from this autobackup piece, it will have the information of the latest backup.
2) Create a PFILE for the destination database db2 using the database db1
3) Move the backup pieces and the modified INIT.ORA file to the new host. Starting from 10g it is NO longer compulsory to copy the RMAN backup pieces to exactly the same location on the new host as the production location.
4) Use the pfile created above to STARTUP NOMOUNT the database on the new host
5) Now invoke RMAN and restore the controlfile specifying the location where the controlfile autobackup piece is restored on this new server. You can mount the database once the controlfile is restored successfully.
6) You can skip this step if you have restored the RMAN backup pieces to exactly the same location they were backed up on database db1. If this is not the case then you need to catalog the RMAN backup pieces to make RMAN aware of thier new location on the new host. Note that CATALOG BACKUPPIECE command is available only starting from 10g.
7) Having determined the point up to which media recovery should run, start the restore/recovery using for example:
RMAN> run {
2> set until sequence 59 thread 1;
3> set newname for datafile 1 to '/new_location/system01.dbf';
4> set newname for datafile 2 to '/new_location/undotbs01.dbf';
5> set newname for datafile 3 to '/new_location/sysaux01.dbf';
6> set newname for datafile 4 to '/new_location/users01.dbf';
7> restore database;
8> switch datafile all;
9> recover database;
10> }

How can i do a RMAN backup of my database from the network ?

i'm using oracle 8i.1.7.3 with win server 2003
i want to know how can i do a RMAN backup of my database (sever machine A) from the network.
i'd like to save the backup in another machine (the same LAN, the same OS ).
to do that i've mapped a logical device in my comptur (z):
when i run rman command i got this error:

Hi,
ORA-19504: failed TO CREATE file "\\remote\save\"make sure you have created this directory and change it's ownership (chown command)to oracle.
also make sure that oracle user has permission to write to this direcotry (chmod command)
hope this helps

Howto make a consistent RMAN backup in an Standby database in Active DataGuard mode (Doc ID 1419923.1)

"Database Log In Failed - TNS could not resolve service name"

Hello.
I have an installation of Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) using WinXP Pro on my computer.
I have also installed the compantion CD on the same machine (In a separate home directory) so that I can use PL/SQL.
I have searched through the forum threads but haven't found any similar problem. The solutions that fixed other peoples problem don't seem to be applicable to mine.
I have created a user 'antagning' and some tables and also some PL/SQL procedures that compile fine. When I request
http://localhost:7777/pls/projekt/firsttest
(firsttest is the procedure. doesn't take any params)
I get the famous
Database Log In Failed
TNS could not resolve service name
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring
entry of the DAD for this URL is valid.
This is my DAD file:
<location /pls/projekt>
SetHandler pls_handler
PlsqlDatabaseUsername antagning
PlsqlDatabasePassword antagning
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ORCL
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlErrorStyle DebugStyle
</location>
and my tnsnames.ora looks like: (there is only one on the machine so there is no conflicting setups I think)
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =
localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
finally, this is my sqlnet.ora:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: c:\oracle10g\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
# install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
# authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
I haven't set any default domain because the database runs on my local computer and not on a microsoft server in a domain. Is that correctly concluded?
I get an OK message when I ping my TNS with "tnsping orcl" (Maybe that information is not relevant in the context)
My webserver is started and is running fine (I think). If I request:
http://localhost:7777/pls/projekt (without any procedure name)
I get the message that no procedure is specified to run so I get some sort of answer from the webserver, so far so right.
When I log in using sqlplus with my own created user account I have to leave the database field empty or the login will fail. If I specify the field with the string orcl
the login will fail. Does that imply that something is not quite right? Maybe that hasn't got anything to do with the failure message.
/Fredrik

Has anyone resolved the problems with using TNSFormat?
As is, I want to move to a shared server setup and to do that I want to use TNSFormat and point to a tns entry which is setup for IPC+Shared connection.
But the Oracle Home that has the Oracle HTTP Server (from the companion CD) does not have SQL*net installed and does not seem to understand TNS.
I have TNS_ADMIN setup, I have ORACLE_HOME_LISTENER poiting to the DB Home.
for the OHS home, using "sqlplus login/pw@ipcshared" works, but "tnsping ipcshared" does not, since tnsping does not exist in the OHS home.
I cannot install SQL*Net from the CD1, since it requires a dedicated/new home and does not want to install in the OHS Home.
The only format that works in a dedicated OHS Home setup is ServiceNameFormat.
Any help or input would be very helpful.
Regards
ps. This is a redhat linux setup.

RMAN backup for two databases with similar DBID

We have two databases with SID 'uiivc' and 'uiivc1' running from one of the HP Unix 11.11 PA-RISC server. I did configured RMAN backup for both databases. But it is found that both databases have same DBID [connected to target database: UIIVC (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC & connected to target database: UIIVC1 (DBID=3005194057) for UIIVC1] and backup configured via crontab seen running fine with full backup at weekend and archivelog backup at daily for both databases. Now my query is that will it create any issues at time of restoration since both databases have similar DBID? Does RMAN uses DBID to distinguish databases?
Kindly help to clarifiy

Hi Tycho,
I configured RMAN to store controlfile backups in different folders on each database.
UIIVC database:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/hot_backups/rmanbkp/uiivc/cf%F';
UIIVC1 database:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/hot_backups/rmanbkp/uiivc1/cf%F';

Thanks,

The message indicates that your database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. You cannot make an RMAN Backup of a database that is OPEN if it is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
You have two options
1. Make consistent RMAN Backups with the database only in MOUNT mode (SHUTDOWN ; STARTUP MOUNT)
OR
2. Configure for ArchiveLogs (create a target filesystem or FRA), set the database to ARCHIVELOG mode, monitor the volume of ArchiveLog generation, configure both Database and ArchiveLog backups.

RMAN backup of STANDBY database

I have just created a STANDBY database using Oracle 8.1.7 which I am trying to backup using RMAN. This would then not impact on the PRODUCTION database, yet still give a valid backup. The problem I am having is that contrary to what I have been told and read about the `duplicate for standby` command, it does not reset the DB_ID. This has the effect that you canot register your new STANDBY database in the RMAN catalog as it sees it as the PRODUCTION instance that was used to create it. I have found several `solutions` on Metalink, which all require the use of a `resetlogs` command, so invalidating the STANDBY database. Does anyone know of a way that I can bypass this problem and carry out valid backups of the STANDBY database ?
TIA
Mark Tindall
Email: [email protected]

Mark,
The STANDBY database must have the same DBID as the production or you could not use the backups taken at a standby
database to recover the production database.
To backup the standby database with RMAN, you must use a recovery catalog. Take at look at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96566/rcmbackp.htm#445993
for information on how to backup the standby with RMAN.

Oracle EBS R12 - 11.2.0.2 - Logical Standby Database & RMAN backups

Hi all,
I have Oracle EBusiness Suite R12 running on 11.2.0.2. Our organization used to have most of the business in North America, South America and Europe; but now we are also in Australia, China and Indonesia. Previously running large reporting batch jobs and RMAN backups at night time in USA was feasible but now that is beginning to show up as performance issue for some countries.
I was thinking would it make sense to have a Active Data Guard logical standby database on a separate server in the same US based data center where we have our main servers and use that logical standy database for reporting and RMAN backups. I am especially concerned about RMAN backups. Would I be able to make RMAN backups from the logical standy database and somehow use those to recover our primary database if some issue happens?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks all,

Active Data Guard only deals with physical standbys. If you are using a logical standby you can always open the database without using Active Data Guard option.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25608/rman.htm#sthref846 says that:
>
Backups of logical standby databases are not usable at the primary database.

RMAN backups : versions of database

I have been trying to restore an 11.1.0.7 backup to a 11.2 database. I've been having a few problems with this - it complaians about the contents of the undo tablespace. Am I capable of recovering from this situation ?
what are the general rules about restoring backupsets from one version of oracle into another ? I've not been able to find much documentation.
johnnied

Hi,
I thought that an upgrade might be necessary.Yes you have to do an upgrade if you go from 11.1.0.7 to 11.2.
in short:
restore
recover
Than start the upgrade.
However I thought/was hoping that rman backups might have been backward compatibleYour backups are forward compatible only you have to upgrade the database.
( I think correctly ? that rman backups are platform independent)No this is not true (which makes me think the error you get is caused because you restored to a different OS platform?)
You have to use the convert command in rman if you want to restore to a different OS platform.
Please follow the link.

On my server, we needed to adjust the vmm on aix for oracle to run best. Before I did that it was really slow.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-aixoracle/index.html
Specifically these as outlined in the document linked above:
Listing 3. Changing the default setting for the lru_file_repage parameter using vmo
root@lpar21ml16ed_pub[] > vmo -o lru_file_repage=0
Setting lru_file_repage to 0
root@lpar21ml16ed_pub[] >
Setting this to 0 tells the VMM that you want to steal only file pages and not computational pages. As this will change if the numperm < minperm or > maxperm, we will make maxperm high and minperm very low. Years ago, before the lru_file_repage parameter was introduced, we used to make maxperm low. If we did this now, we would stop the application caching programs that are currently running.
Listing 4 shows how we'll set these parameters:
Listing 4. Setting the minperm, maxperm and maxclient parameters
vmo -p -o minperm%=5
vmo -p -o maxperm%=90
vmo -p -o maxclient%=90
We also want to take a look at minfree and maxfree. When the pages on our free list fall below minfree, the VMM will start to steal pages, which we don't want to happen until the free list has beefed up the number in maxfree. The values should be similar to the ones shown in Listing 5.
Listing 5. Setting the minfree and maxfree parameters
vmo -p -o minfree=960
vmo -p -o maxfree=1088

Restore RMAN Backup in Different Database on Same RAC

We have 11gR2 2 node RAC on Linux. ASM and OMF is used for database. The database on it is backedup using RMAN.
We want to test the RMAN backup by restoring it to a new database on same server.
Can someone guide me to steps on how this can be achieved. I'm afraid this should not affect the actual database.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Yes, this can be done without disturbing your source db. Need more information on your DB structure (datafile asm diskgroups), all you need to do is restore as single node and convert to rac, since you want to test rman restore, you can restore to single node to prove your RMAN backups are intact.
Changes in init.ora
==============
db_file_name_convert= ("source dir structure","target dir structure")
log_file_name_convert=("source dir structure","target dir structure")
cluster_database=false
event="10298 trace name context forever, level 32"
_no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE
Set new database sid (export ORACLE_SID=NEW_SID)
sql>startup nomount;
rman auxiliary /
rman>duplicate database to "NEW_SID" backup location "Your RMAN Backup location";
The above are very high level general steps, please do take other steps into consideration as per your environment.
