Question about only new archive logs backed up in backup

Hi,
We are taking daily two online backup. We are running database in ARCHIVELOG mode. We configure database in PRIMARY and PHYSICAL STANDBY mode. Till now, we were taking all archive logs in backup. But it was causing problem of lot of space utilization of disk.
So based on search in this forum, I am planning to take only new archive logs generated since last backed up using following command.
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG all not backed up 1 times format '$dir/archivelogs_%s_%t' FORCE;
I am not sure about how it impact during restore and recovery when we take only new archivelogs in backup.
We restore database and then after perform always incomplete recovery till latest SCN capture in backup using following commands.
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SCN $BACKUP_LAST_SCN;
Do you see any problem/risk of implementing this solution going ahead?
Please let me provide your thoughts/inputs for this.
Thanks.

Hi,
We are not deleting archive logs from actual location after backup. We keep latest 6 days archive logs at actual location. But here we are planning to put only new archive logs in backup image which were not backed up due to disk size problem.
For your reference below is our datbase backup RMAN commands. We are taking full database backup.
run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 TYPE DISK;
delete noprompt archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-5';
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 CUMULATIVE format '$dir/level0_%u' DATABASE include current controlfile
for standby force;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG all not backed up 1 times format '$dir/archivelogs_%s_%t' FORCE;
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE format '$dir/control_primary' FORCE;
Then in this polich do you see any problem when we restore database as PRIMARY or PHYSICAL STANDBY on server. We are using Oracle 10.2.0.3.

Question about import in archive log mode

Hello.
I am a developer, I have ordered to write a script that makes the import of a schema of a database (release 9.2.0.7). That import will be done once a day. I have seen that in my development environment the import creates 54 archivers files (10M aprox. each), that means more that half a Gb a day, it seems too much to me.
I cannot see why all those archivers can be useful. Would a good way of proceeding the following?
1. Forcing an archiver just before the import (I do not know how to do that) so that a backup could be done to the state before the import.
2. Disabling archive log mode during the import and enabling it just after the import (I do not know how to do that).
3. Forcing a new archiver just after the import (I do not know how to do that).
Thanks in advance.

540M is not that much.
One would question why you need to import every day,
there must be better ways to do this.
The three steps you propose look like an awful
scenario, as it would require the database to switch
from archivelog to noarchivelog and vice versa.
This would require the database to close twice a
day.
The scenario is also incomplete as one would need to
take a backup after the import
If you can convince your DBA to close the database
twice a day, he should write the script, which he can
easily derive from the docs.
But likely he will visit Billy Verreynne to borrow
his lead pipe, and rightly so ;)
Sybrand Bakker
Senior Oracle DBAThanks for the answer.
A few things:
- Sorry for my ignorance, I have no experience in database backups, I do not understand why I need to backup just after the import.
- That database is not critical, it is just for a team who will test on that database several applications, so the database will only need to be open during the office schedule.
- I have no dba. The client has a dba for several databases but I have no contact with him/her nor my boss has.

Thank you for your help (again!),

The parameter log_archive_start is no more needed John (as suggested already) and the best way to check the archive options is through the archive log list command.

Two questions about the new iWeb

Hi
I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
thanks

Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

Hi
A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
(I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

Stupid question. RMAN - apply new archive logs

I have following scenario:
I have backup from last night + archived logs.
And have a lot of new archivelogs.
And I've lost main server.
Now I can restore this database on another host. And this database will have state of the previous database from last backup. Can I somehow apply new archivelogs to this database? (We have all archivelogs after backup).
Thank you.

Hi,
after restoring the backup on new server( on there exact same location).issue
startup mount;
recover database until cancel;<-- this cmd will apply are available archivelog.
alter database open resetlogs;

My HP, purchased in June 2012, died on Saturday. I was working in recently installed Photoshop, walked away from my computer to answer the phone and when I came back the screen was blank. When I turned it on, I got a Windows Error Recovery message. The computer was locked and wouldn't let me move the arrow keys up or down and hitting f8 didn't do anything.
I'm not happy with HP. Any suggestions?

Question about using new battery in old Powerbook

I have a pre-intel Powerbook G4, and the battery is pretty much toast (lasts about 15 minutes now). I have ordered a new battery for it, and I have this question about using it:
Am I smarter to keep the new strong battery out of the PB most days (as I usually work with it plugged in at home) and just pop it in when I know I will be out surfing on batteries? Or is it just as good living in my laptop 24/7 and only occasionally being called upon to do its job?
Current bad Battery Information below:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1144
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1115
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12387
Cycle Count: 281
thanks folks, Shereen

Hi, Shereen. Every Powerbook battery wants to be used — drained and then recharged — at least every couple of weeks. If you've always used your Powerbook on AC power nearly all the time, and not followed that pattern of discharging and recharging the battery every week or two, it's possible that your use habits have shortened the lifespan and prematurely diminished the capacity of your old battery. Of course it's also possible that your battery is merely old, as a battery's capacity also diminishes with age regardless of how it's used. You didn't say how old the battery is in years, so this may or may not be an issue. I mention it only because it can be an issue.
For general information on handling a battery for the longest possible lifespan, see this article. My advice on the basis of that article and long experience reading these forums is that it would be OK to do as you propose, but I doubt that you'd derive any significant benefit from it. You would still want to be sure of putting the new battery through a charge/discharge cycle every week or two, even if you didn't have a reason to use the Powerbook away from home or your desk, because sitting unused outside the computer is just as bad for a battery as sitting unused inside it. And you should never remove the battery from your computer when it's completely or almost completely discharged and let it sit that way any longer than a day or two.

I have a question about japan new depriciation engine using non-japanese chart of deprication

Hi, all
I have a question about link between new depriciation engine and chart of depriciation.
My client want to use US chart of depriciation as standard chart of depriciation becuase it has already standard setting like IAS deprication keys.
it means I have to create Japanese chart of depriciation by copying from US chart of depriciation(non-japanese sample(0JP))
I have a little doubt about it. In my previous project, I copyed chart of depriciation by copy from Japan sample Chart of depriciation(0JP) stored in SAP.
Is it possible to copy from non-japan sample charg of depriciation to using Japanese new depriciation engine? I worried some errors will occrues if I do not use sample chart of depriciation(0JP) .
If I need to use sample Japanese chart of depriciation, please give me the idea why I need to use Japanese sample chart of depriciation. I want to know the examples of non-Japanese asset accouting consultants who have working experience in the area.
Thank you.

Hi, Narasimhulu
Thank you for your support.
My client use one COA to all over the world. And not only Japan, other country aslo use the COD which is copied from that of US. Basic reporting line is for USGAP. I will customize 2 depriciation ares, one for US GAP and another is JGAP. No need to create TAX realted customize. It means it enought only adding Japanese new depriciation keys to Current US COD. No need to add more Japanese local requirements.
In this case, I want to know follwoing point.
I know COD controll depriciation keys, but I want to know more detail about COD, what kinds of controls COD do. What is Japanese local requirements. Why better to use COPY of JP COD.
Thank you.

New Archived log entry in alert log after cpu patch 19 applied

Has anyone applied October critical patch for 11.1.0.7? I applied the cpu Patch 19 (8892977) for 11.1.0.7 on several windows2008 servers and after the patch the alert log displays a new message everytime a redo log transfers. This only happens on servers that have archivelog on. It looks like there is some kind of trace set. Anyone know know what the message is?
Thanks,

Hi Mark!
Yes, Oracle informed me that this message is normal and is only used for formational purposes. I should just ignore it.
Did you apply patch19? I have also found issues with a high amount of "waits" of type of "other". Some jobs are running slightly slower also. Also, if you check your "database health link" on dbconsole home page you will see consistant "non-critical" alerts. I don't have these alerts on servers not yet patched. This alerts appear to be caused by wait events of "other".

A question about my new T500...

Hello all -- I am new here, and have a quetion about my new T500:
My new machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad T500, with Vista 64 bit installed. It is a pretty neat machine, as far as I can tell so far. This is my first laptop and my first experience with Vista after years of XP. My general computer knowledge is somewhat limited.
So here is my question. All have in the machine so far is Vista and Microsoft Office Home and Student, along with whatever Lenovo preinstalls. I plan to install Photoshop CS4 and Capture NX but have not done so yet, nor have I downloaded any photos or anything. When I go into "Computer" from the start menu it indicates that I only have 99 gigs free in my 160 gig hard drive! I did a quick add up of the visible programs installed in Vista and I get only about 1.2 gigs worth, and there seems to be about another 1.5 gigs of utilities in one partition. What could be occupying the other 58 or so gigabytes??? Vista cannot be this big, can it? How can I find out what is on the HD other than the visible installed programs?
Any help with this mystery will be very much appreciated. I am mystified!
Many thanks in advance...

I am sure this has been decribed many times ... but here it goes anyway
If the actual hard drive (*not* partition!) is 160 gig (written on it), first of all it will only have about 154Gb actual space to be used by the computer - just the thing how manufacturers count those bytes.
Lenovo has a restore partition, I don't remember the exact size (I have deleted it), but it would be around 15Gb if I remember correctly. You also have a startup partition probably (1.5Gb). You can find out what partitions you have in Computer Management. Just open Vista start menu, type in Computer Management (into the search box at the bottom), then open Storage --> Dist Management. Here you will see the partitions. You can read around these forums and other places on the internet how you can get rid of the restore partition if you really do not want it. But don't go just deleting it right away.
Vista x64 takes about a good 20 gigs on your hard drive. Do remember, that because Vista 64 includes WOW64 (Windows on Windows) that means that many things are essentially duplicated: once for the 32 bit applications and once for the 64 bit applications. That is why Vista x64 is larger than Vista x86 (32bit). However, you need x64 if you have 4Gb of RAM. However also remember, that when you look at the C:\WINDOWS folder, that inside there are also "symlinks" to files. So if you just count everything you will get a bigger size than what it actually takes up.
You have hibernation enabled (by default), so if you have 2Gb of RAMs thats another 2Gb, if you have 4Gb of RAM, thats another 4Gb of space.
The paging file by default takes up a variable amount of space, could be anything between 3-6Gb (if you have 4Gb of RAM).
So that's about it. If you add those up (in case of 4Gb of RAM) you get about 46-47Gb of space, at least. Plus any applications and utilities, drivers, etc you have. Lenovo systems by default come with quite a few things.
Windows has probably system restore enabled, which eats up yet again hard drive space.
You can turn things off and tune your system if you really feel that you are running out of space. But until then I would not worry too much about it. You can find many guides around the internet on how to affect various things I referenced above.
If you want to see hidden files (like paging file and hibernation file) you can turn that feature on in Vista. That will certainly help you see most of the things that take up space (not everything). You can find many tutorials by googling, such as
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html
Hope this helps

Question about the new i5/i7 processors

I have been wondering if anybody had a definitive answer as to whether the new i5 and i7 processors are the desktop chips or their mobile counterparts? I know previous gen imacs use mobile parts but I've heard conflicting reports about the new 27 inch imacs. Some people say they are using desktop parts now while others claim they are still mobile processors...does anybody here know? I can't seem to find the information because I'm not really a techie so I don't really understand intels system for identifying their processors. The reason I ask is I recently placed an order for the i5 imac, I was comparing some i5/i7 benchmarking tests and ultimately decided the i5 was more than up to the job...however, now I don't even know if I was comparing the right chips (I didn't know there were different versions of the i5 and i7). Also, I had some concern with the heat issue, from what I've read the i7 produces tremendous heat so I also factored that in to my decision. I know Apple makes quality stuff (I love my MBP) and they placed the GPU and CPU on opposite ends of the imac, AND it has 3 fans AND the back is basically a HUGE heatsink lol...but I still wonder if the heat will cause the i7 to have a shorter expected life than the i5?(which is also pretty hot I guess). I thought I had my mind made up but this is turning out to be a very confusing process for me. If heat will effect the life cycle with only a relatively small power boost I'll stick with the i5...but if the versions of the chips they are using are mobile or not going to have this problem than I don't know what to do lol. Also, could you replace the i5 with an i7 later on down the road? AHHHH....can somebody help I'm spending so much money here I don't want to make a mistake :/

thanks for the help everyone. After reviewing all the information I think I'm gonna go with the i7...it will be $180 for me because of a student discount so in the end I guess thats not too much to pay for the increased speed and hyper-threading (which I probably will see no benefit from now but down the road...who knows). I had to cancel my order for the i5 anyway because after going into the Apple store last night to fondle the 27 inch imacs (which I hadn't seen in person yet) I realized I did not like the new keyboard ( don't get me wrong its a nice product but I use the Adobe CS4 software for digital art and animation so so lacking a numerical keypad for keystroke shortcuts is a little impractical for me).
Since I had to cancel and reorder anyway I'm now thinking I may as well upgrade to the i7 and be done with the doubting my decision lol. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I will probably order today. Apparently the i5 and i7 have the same wattage so I guess if one will overheat the other will too so that kills that debate in my my mind.
BTW if anybody has not yet seen the 27 inch imacs in person yet they are behemoths...beautiful behemoths. I can't wait to have that much canvas space to paint in Photoshop.
Thanks again everyone.

Quick Questions about the New T530

With the T530 finally showing up online for those of us in the U.S., I have thrown it into the pool of models I am considering and comparing it to the T520, but it is getting very hard to find information about it. Here are my top questions about it that I can not find answer to.
#1: Can the backlight on the keyboard (if you choose to get one with it) be toggled? If so, would it be through bios, a key combo, or software?
#2: Will accessories for the T520 be compatible with the T530? Including the 9-cell and the slice?
#3: Because this is a new item, and there might be high demand, is there a possibility of shipments bottlenecking? I.E.: if I buy one right now, will my order get postponed multiple times and take months?
Sorry if these answers have already been answered elsewhere, but I really did try (used Google and the forum search) to find the answers before posting. Plus, I'm sure there are a few people like me trying to decide between the T520 and Ivy-equipped T530, so maybe this thread will help them too.

joshua144,
This is a bit outside my area of expertise, but I don't think the slice battery from T420/T520/W520 generation will work on the new systems like T430/T530/W530 which require battery authentication.
Check the tabook http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf to know which battery options are supported on which systems. And note that the slice battery option for T520 is different than the slice battery option for T530.
Just because the 28++ battery (from your link) is backwards-compatible with the older systems, does not mean the older batteries like 27++ are forward-compatible with the new systems.
As for your other question about FN and CTRL, the FN button is still on the outside of the keyboard just like ThinkPad has always been. And there is still the BIOS option to swap CTRL and FN.
