Question on recovery of redolog file

hii,
how to open database,
when block corruption error in redolog file.
there are two archive redo log groups.
and database in non archive mode.
thank's in advance

I think this is a very difficult situation. You cannot proceed in opening your database as your redo log is corrupt (current I guess :( ). Your database is no noarchivelog mode, which makes it more diffidcult.
When you say you have two archive log groups, do you mean redo log groups?
Are those groups multiplexed?
In this case you can still recover from this error by dropping the corrupt redo log file and using the valid surviving redo log member.
If you have only two redo log groups, not multiplexed members an no archivelog mode, then I suggest you to dump the contents of your redo log file and detect up to which point you still can find a valid SCN, so can execute an incomplete recover until that scn.
Procedure to dump the contents of your redo log file is:
alter system dump logfile '/xxxx';
This will create a text file with the contents from your redo log file, once you have it you can check up to whic valid SCN you can get. Next perform an incompete recover until that found SCN.

  • Instance fast recovery and redolog file size

    Hi,
    Could you please explain me how size of redolog file helps to recover instance faster?
    Thanks
    KSG

    Very quickly I shall try to tell.
    The answer lies in the relation of the number of dirty buffers needed for the recovery. The number of dirty buffers needed for recovery are limited by the checkpoint process when DBWR is pinged to write few of them to the datafile. So with a log switch you are going to hit a checkpoint. So if the size of the log files is going to be smaller, the checkpoint frequency would be large thus making the buffers being written to the data fikles more aggressively and limiting the time for the instance reocvery. The biger you make them, the more longer it would take for teh checkpoint to happen and thus in the case of instance recovery, it would bemore time required. That said, using a small sized log file would also lead to "cehckpoint inicomplete" error as well since it may happen that DBWR won't be able to match with the speed of the checkpoint event being generated and its own writing speed,.

  • All redolog files lost in oracle 8i

    Hi,
    i had a disk corruption where i lost all redolog files and my db was down how i can make db up.
    workaround:
    in os level i manually created the lost redo log files (same path what was earlier):

  • Increase redolog file size - Merits and Demerits

    Hi
    Currently, we are in  9.2.0.7.0 oralce version and having redolog file sizes (Mirrlog and origlog) of 100MB.
    Now we are planning to increase the size to 200 MB so that we could reduce the number of archive log files.
    Can you please let me know what would be the demerits of bigger size in redolog files?
    And also let me know the step by step process how to increase the size of redolog files?
    Thank you

    > I understand what you are saying but in our situation our backup policy is one time online backup  and one time offline backup in a week.....Online backup is on Thu and Offline backup is on Sunday.......
    >
    > In case of system crash if needed we would need to apply archive log files; If we have lesser number of archive logs; recover database would be faster.......correct me if am wrong.
    You are wrong.
    Ok, let's see an example:
    You took your backup on sunday midnight and your DB needs recovery on wednesday.
    Meanwhile you created say, 800 M worth of redolog data per day.
    That sums up to (monday, tuesday, wednesday) 3x800 M = 2400 M that need to be recovered.
    Going with your current setup (100 M redolog size) the largest archivelog file can be 100 M, makes 24 files to restore and recover.
    After changing the redologsize to, say 200 M, you only have 12 files to restore and recover.
    But know what? It's still 2400 M of data.
    Since you will likely not put every archivelog file to its own tape, but rather change the tape each day (just an assumption) or maybe don't use manually operated tapes at all, the little latency overhead in handling tapes doesn't count in to your overall recovery time.
    All in all you still need to feed the same amount of data to the recovery process.
    Apart from this:
    if you're discussing short recovery times, than you'd never perform just two data backups a week.
    You'd make online backups every day - maybe incremental ones.
    You' d use the flashback recovery area.
    An additional thing often overlooked: in many cases the ultimate performance killer for a restore/recovery scenario is not the technology in use.
    It's that when the case is there, the DBA is not sure anymore, what do to.
    He wonders:
    Where the good backups are.
    How to get them back from the 3rd party backup tool.
    How to check them.
    Where to get a different storage system because the original one is broken.
    How to figure out what needs recovery
    How the tools work
    By ensuring that you always master the theory and the how to of restore and recovery - that's how you make it quick and painless (and dataloss-less).
    regards,
    Lars

  • When are Redolog files reset to zero size? Manual reset possible?

    As far as I know redolog files contain all stuff which is changed during operation of an Oracle database.
    However I wonder if there are events when these files are AUTOMATICALLY reset to zero.
    I guess it is when I do a full offline backup.
    Is this correct?
    Are there any other events when this happens automatically ?
    How can I manually reset/initialize Redolog files to an empty state?
    Peter

    What did you mean empty redo logfile?
    if you mean zero size on redolog files....
    We can not reset redo log files to empty (zero).
    I guess it is when I do a full offline backup.That mean your database offline... no operation, so no redo log generate. but not mean you can make redo log empty anyway...
    If you mean redo log file no need for instance recovery.
    redo log groups have "INACTIVE" status -> is no longer needed for instance recovery. It may be in use for media recovery. It might or might not be archived.
    check from v$log
    UNUSED - Online redo log has never been written to. This is the state of a redo log that was just added, or just after a RESETLOGS, when it is not the current redo log.
    CURRENT - Current redo log. This implies that the redo log is active. The redo log could be open or closed.
    ACTIVE - Log is active but is not the current log. It is needed for crash recovery. It may be in use for block recovery. It may or may not be archived.
    CLEARING - Log is being re-created as an empty log after an ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE statement. After the log is cleared, the status changes to UNUSED.
    CLEARING_CURRENT - Current log is being cleared of a closed thread. The log can stay in this status if there is some failure in the switch such as an I/O error writing the new log header.
    INACTIVE - Log is no longer needed for instance recovery. It may be in use for media recovery. It might or might not be archived.;)

  • Resize online redolog files, make RMAN obsolute backups as usable

    Dear Guru's,
    I have following doubts, please clarify me on the same. thanks in advance
    1. why can not we resize online redolog files instead of re-creating the same with large size and remove the older onces.
    2. How can we make RMAN obsolute backups as usable ?
    Thanks.

    I configured RMAN backup recovery window of 15 days. after 15 days the backupsets which were older then 15 days are obsolute. now i have to restore the backup of 15 days older(obsolute backupsets) backupsets to the database. but when i do restore it defaulty takes latest backupsets other then obsolute onces.
    how do i restore older(obsolute backupsets) backupsets to the database?
    If i used the CHANGE cmd, how to do that.
    RMAN> change backupset tag weekly_backup_20052013_02:45 _______________
    do i make latest backupsets unavaliable to restore the older once....
    RMAN> change backupset tag weekly_backup_20062013_02:00;
    Thanks in advance...........
    Obsolete backups are always usable, until you delete them with DELETE OBSOLETE.
    If you want to restore from a backup other than the latest, use an until clause:
    run {set until time = 'sysdate - 15';
    restore database;}

  • Offline redolog file are delete in Oracle 11

    Hi
    We recently upgrade our Oracle release from Oracle 10.2.0.2 to Oracle Database 11g Release 2.
    I was running the process to table compression with BRSPACE 7.20  using the command:
    brspace -u / -p /oracle/LUK/112_64/dbs/reorgEXCL.tab -f tbreorg -a reorg -o SAPR3 -s PSAPLUK -t allsel -n PSAPLUKCOMP -c ctab u2013SCT
    The process finish ok but I have a problem with Offline redolog, it are generated succesfully but it are delete after a short time, it disappear from the filesystem, I donot understand this behavior, the delete of archive log is not a deliberate configuration.
    If I execute the archive log backup I allways obtain a lot of warnings with redolog file not found:
    Offline redolog file '/oracle/XXX/saparch/XXXarch1_11155_666372933.dbf' not found
    After compression process the Offline redologs files are being delete too.
    I need to know the reason for this behavior, may be a wrong parameter in our database?
    It is a normal situation with Oracle 11?
    What happen with the Database and backup/restore strategy without offline redologs?
    Next week I need to upgrade the oracle release in our productive system, in this system the archive and database backup are very important and I need to solve this issue or fix it.
    Please help me to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advanced,
    OMM

    Hi,
    Offline redolog file '/oracle/XXX/saparch/XXXarch1_11155_666372933.dbf' not found
    Such messages are only seen if some one has deleted/moved the complained offline redo log files form the Archive Log destination.
    Please ensure that if someone has moved/deleted the offline redo log files or not ? It may be done to accommodate space in Archive log destination, as the reorganization/compression activities will generate more archive logs.
    Also try to perform the same activity again and monitor the archive log destination directory. As i think, such "Offline redo log file deletion after Table Compressions activity done by BRSAPCE " behavior is not possible at all. 
    What happen with the Database and backup/restore strategy without offline redologs?
    Offline Redo log files must require in Database media Recovery process. Without it only Point-in-time recovery is possible.

  • Standby redolog files

    Hi
    I think standby redolog files are not required if I open the physical standby database in read/write mode by using flashback database techonology. Kindly let me know if I am wrong.

    Hi,
    Thanks for coming back on this, sorry for confusing with my question, I will re-frame my question as
    "I think standby redolog files are not required on PRODUCTION, if I open the physical standby database in read/write mode by using flashback database techonology", basically I wanted to know that standby redologs on production and standby are required only when switch over are switch back are done.If you would open(using any technology wether flashback or without it) your physical standby database (keeping production also in open mode) that means both these database are now independent and redo logs(archive logs) of any of the database cannot be applied to each other. Hence there would not be any use of standby redo log files.
    Standby redo logs are used to get the redo files(data) on the standby database from the primary even if the redo log is not archived on primary. Hence if you want that feature in your standby database it is necessary to have standby redo log files.
    Yes standby redo log files are not required for production but oracle recommends it to make smooth switch over.

  • Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running.

    How the size of the redolog files will hurt your database performance ?
    Can change the size of the redolog files while the database is running in oracle 9i. ?
    What will be its impact on the standby database ?
    Thanks in advance.

    redo logs that are too small can cause waits on the switches for heavily utilized systems. logs that are too large are a pain the a$$ during recovery. check v$loghist to see how often switches occur - an average of 20 minutes is good; if you have many switches happening back-to-back, that's a bad sign.
    you can change the sizes while the db is up. choose a redo group that is INACTIVE, drop it, delete the files, and recreate it with larger files. then force a switch ("alter system switch logfile;"), and do another inactive group. I actually prefer to do as many switches as necessary to make the new group active so I can verify that I didn't screw up before dropping the next group.
    not sure of impact on standby database.

  • Restore hot online backup without redolog file

    Dear
    I had taken a online backup (begin / end tablespace) of all datafiles. Before end backup I had taken backup of current controlfile with O/S command.
    Now, I want to restore this backup.
    I have only :
    datafiles (taken with begin / end backup)
    controlfile (taken during begin / end backup)
    Archive Log (from backup to up till now)
    What steps I have to take for recovery with missing redolog files.

  • Recovery of deleted file in KM

    Hi everybody!
    I´ve got a question about the recovery of single files which were deleted in a KM repository or a collaboration room. How can one recover such a file? There must be some way.
    Christian

    Hi Christian,
    I don´t believe this
    Informatics isn't a matter of faith
    Believe it or not, it's a fact.
    Is there any?
    In general: No. But keep in mind how different KM repositories can be. As far as CM (DB) repositories are concerned, the DB backup is the only way. For other repositories / repository kinds other rules may hold (for filesystem repositories, filesystem backups may do the work, even if metadata would be lost which is stored in some DB).
    Hope it helps

  • Redolog files gets archived

    dear friends,
    i have one confusion please help me to clear it out,When the database is in NOARCHIVE MODE,does redolog files get archived? bcoz when i run the query select * from v$log and when i tried to delete active redolog group,i got error and redolog group needed for instance recovery.so,pls help.your help appreciated,thanks.
    os:5.7rhel
    db:10.2.0.3

    when any redolog file got deleted at os level irrespective of redolog file status whether it is active or inactive or current,users continue to work on database until log switch occurs.when log switch occurs and oracle comes to the dropped log file to write (dropped at os leve),oracle didnt find the dropped logfile at os level,oracle throws an error and users get disconnected from the database.
    suppose we dropped a current logfile from os level,when logswitch occurs this dropped logfile
    (status= current,at the time we dropped) becomes inactive redolog file till oracle comes to overwrite it.
    we recover the inactive redolog file as shown below
    sql>startup mount;
    sql>alter database clear logfile group 1; (if logfile belongs to group 1)
    sql>alter database open;
    am i right? please correct me if i m wrong.

  • Redolog file deleted

    Is there any OTHER WAY

    Here's the remedy for you :-
    sql > shutdown immediate ;
    sql > startup mount ;
    sql > select * from v$log (to check the sequence of the current log)
    sql > recover database until cancel ; ( provide the log to cancel recovery)
    sql > alter database open resetlogs ;

  • How to read the contents of redolog files?

    Hi,
    I would want to read the contents of the redolog files on my database.
    Actually, I can't because these files are binary files*. I would want to know if there is a way to read these redolog files , if for example Oracle has tools to learn these redolog files.
    Thanks.

    In order to read the content of the Redo Log files, you should use Logminer Utility
    Please refer to the documentation for more information:
