Hi,
This issue indicate corrupted database or corrupted logs. I suggest you to check and repair the database or check and repair the database log.
1. Check the state of database by following command: eseutil /mh "Path of the database"
Ps: Default path of the database is “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Mailbox Database\Mailbox Database.edb”
Default path of the log files is “C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Mailbox\Mailbox Database\E00”
2. If the state is in clean shutdown, move all the log files from the Transaction logs folder location and then mount the database.
3. If the state is in dirty shutdown, check if the log files that is indicated as Logs required is available or not.
4. You can run Eseutil ml “Path of the log file\e00” to make sure that the log files is required is in a Clean state. This command will help you check the health of all the log files in the location.
5. If the log files are healthy, then try Soft recovery with the command Eseutil /r e00 /l ”Path of log files” /p “Path of the database”
Note:
Make sure you make a backup of the database before attempting any kind of repairs
6. Once the command completes successfully, then mount the database.
7. In case the required log files are not available in a clean state or missing, either restore from a successful back up or perform Hard repair with defragment.
Refer to this file about hard repair:

Hope this will be helpful for you

Please help

Most likely not. What's done is done. Make sure the hardware is OK or you will end up in the same boat.......
Make a copy of the DB and all the logs before doing anything.
Then you can do the /P - and it will take several hours.
Make another copy
Once that completes, then do a /D to remove the cut page links. That will also take several hours.
fingers crossed....
You can also make a support case with us - if this is valuable data it's worth the cost!

Please help

Hi,
I think you could look into the Event Viewer to verify whether there are some related errors or warnings included. I think it could be checkpoint here. At the same time, you need to run the Exchange Best Practice Analyzer to have a general health check of
your server.
Actually, you could delete the public folder in the ADSI Edit if you like,
Open ADSI-Edit and got to configuration
Navigate to this path:
CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL
CN=Services
CN=Microsoft Exchange
CN=EXCHANGE_ORG
CN=Administrative Groups
CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)
CN=Databases
CN=PUBLIC_FOLDER_DATABASE
Just like a figure below:
Note: You need to make sure that there is no useful information included in the public folder database.

Renaming datafiles in control files with database mounted but not open

Hi,
I moved a database (physical files) from one server to another. I need to modify the contents of the control files since the directory structure of the servers are not the same (and I can't change that).
I know I can use ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE to produce a script that I can than modify and run with the instance started, database mounted but not open, and that will recreate the control files. I don't want to do that.
I was also told I can modify the datafile entries in the control files by starting the instance, mounting but not opening the database. Then I can issue the (this is the part I need help with) ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE <file1> to <file2>. When I tried this it complains that <file1> is not found. Obviously the command I used is not the right one,,, what is the right command for what I want to do.
Thanks,
Gabriel

How to use old archieve logs with a new control file

Environment:
ORACLE_BASE="/export/home/oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/export/home/oracle/product/8.1.6"
NLS_LANG=".UTF8"
2 partitions:
i) /data1 -- contains important datafiles (OS striping on 3 hard
disks)
ii) /export/home -- contains the oracle program, and SYS/SYSTEM
datafiles
Problem:
-/data1 cannot be read/mount (damaged)
-oracle failed
Action Performed:
-reinstalled OS
-mount /export/home successfully (all oracle system files,
instance init files exist)
-/data1 is an empty partition
-created the oracle user, and its groups
-chown recusively for the $ORACLE_BASE directory
-set all the oracle environment variables
-attempted to start the instance, but failed due to a control
file was
missing
-since control files were set to be mirrored, i copied a control
file somewhere
from /export/home/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control1.ctl to
/data1/oracle/oradata/<SID>/control2.ctl (i.e. have them back to
their original locations)
-the instance failed to start as well, since the datafile set in
the control files couldn't be found
-this forced me to re-create the control file... b4 i re-create
a new control file, i backed up the old one
-once the control file was created, the database can be started,
but, to oracle, all achieve log information are lost (although
the achieve log's physical files r still there)
-i imported the important data from a dump file that was
exported a week ago b4 the system failure
-since we r using the new control file, the redo logs switch
contains no achieve log information that the old control file
has, so running "recover database" doesn't do anything
Purpose:
since the dump file is a week old, i'd like to get the data
after my last export and b4 the system failure. the database was
run in arhieve log mode, how can i recover those data with the
new control file
Question:
-how can we create a new control file that can drive the old
achieve logs?
-can we convert the achieve log data (.dbf format) into text
format?
-can we still use the old control files to start the database?
-what's a suggested solution if we'd like to re-construct the
database up to the moment b4 the system failure in another
server?
thx

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

Creating a control file copy with ASM

Configuration is Oracle 10.2, RAC, and ASM (Automatic Storage Management). I would like to create a second copy of the control file.
If this wasn't ASM, I could just bring down the database, copy the control file using an operating system command, modify the pfile to reference both the original and new copy, and then restart the database.
Since this is ASM, I cannot use an operating system command to copy the control file, and RMAN "BACKUP" (which is the only way I know to make a copy of the control file) will only work if the database is up. When I "restore" the control file using RMAN and change the pfile to reference both control files I get a message like the following when attempting to start the database:
ORA-00214: control file '+ASMGROUP1/db1/controlfile/current.271.566646845'
version 2241 inconsistent with file
'+ASMGROUP1/db1/controlfile/current.268.566661765' version 2236
Soooooo, how do I make and implement a second copy of a control file using ASM.
Thanks

Hi.
This is not testet so presede with caution as it is meant as a discussion ;-)
As I see it there is no logical way to extend the instance by adding a controlfile.
The following procedure might work (has not been tested)
I think you have to make a controlfilebackup with the database closed in normal mode using RMAN.
Further you might be able to edit the pfile with create pfile from spfile and further create spfile from pfile. Extending the controlfile parameter to represent number and names of controlfile needed.
With this done, the database is closed normal with a controlfile copy presented somewhere on the filesystem.
startup mount;
restore controlfile from '<backup controlfile location>'
alter database mount;
alter database open;
Any thoughts about this procedure guys?

ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file sys

Hello,
our RAC (Linux, 11.2.0.3.0) is rather new and we are still on gaining experiences with that system...
When starting the backup with RMAN we are getting the following error:
Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 04-JUL-12
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of Control File and SPFILE Autobackup command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at 07/04/2012 16:41:48
ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system
The reason for the error is clear ORA-00245 - in a RAC environment the location of the Snapshot Controlfile must be on a shared location.
When executing the RMAN command "show all" on each node, we are getting
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
for node #1
and
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
for node #2
When using a shared location for the Snapshot Controlfile do we still need to setup 2 different names for that file?
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD021.f'; # default
for node #1 and
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/<shared location>/snapcf_PROD022.f'; # default
for node #2
Or should we configure just one Snapshot Controlfile?
The RMAN setup for "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO..." must be changed on both nodes - correct?
Hopefully my question is clear enough - any help will be appreciated.

No, it must be configured on a shared storage:Not really required, i've RAC setup and snapshot is configured on local storage.
Configuring the RMAN Snapshot Control File Location
The snapshot control file is a copy of a database control file created in an operating system-specific location by Recovery Manager. RMAN creates the snapshot control file so that it has a consistent version of a control file to use when either resynchronizing the recovery catalog or backing up the control file. In Oracle RAC, the snapshot control file is only needed on the nodes on which RMAN performs backups; the snapshot control file does not need to be globally available to all instances in an Oracle RAC environment.
See below from doc.

Reg : control file recovery...

Hi gurus,
I am running oracle 9.1 db. Suddenly my DB get crashed and after that I could not able to start my db. During startup an error has been raised at the time of mount. The cause of the error is bcoz of Control file has been locked due to previous ubnormal db shutdown and while startup it could not able to open the control file..
I didn't have any backup of controlfile...
Is there any way to create a control file in nomount state and make the db up...
Thanks for your help..
regards.

in this situation,
start instance with nomount option
if you know the location and sizes of your datafiles, then, use create controlfile command to create a new controlfile. Once you done with it, you can start db with this newly created controlfile.

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.
Rgds,
SN.

Mv control files, redo.log, database fies

Hello,
I installed Oracle 10.2. on Unix.
we have created file systems for our data/control files.
some how we missed that part to define location for dbf, control & redo.log files during installation.
My question is how to mv all control files, redo.log and dbf files to one location to another.
for. eg:
currently there are installed in /opt/oracle/oradata.
now i want o move in /u03/oradata.
Please note:
Prior to that I'd like to put in archive log mode.
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
alter database archivelog;
alter database open;
DN

For DB and Redo files
conn / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
startup mount
host
$ cp old_name new_name
$ exit
alter database rename file old_name
to new_name;
alter database open
host
$ rm old_name
$ exitFor control files
1. Shut down the database.
2. Copy an existing control file to a different locations, using operating system commands.
3. Edit the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the database's initialization parameter file to add the new control file's name, or to change the existing control filename.
4. start the database.

How to dynamically create sqlldr control file using stored procedure

I am trying to dynamically create the control file (.ctl) and execute the same using a stored procedure.I would be passing the file name as a parameter to this procedure. How do I go about doing this?
The control file has the following structure. The file name (mktg) varies and is passed as an input to the stored procedure.
SPOOL mktg.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'mktg.csv'
INTO TABLE staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COMPANY_NAME,
ADDRESS,
CITY,
STATE,
ZIP)
SPOOL OFF ;
sqlldr scott/tiger CONTROL= mktg.ctl LOG=mktg.log BAD=mktg.bad

We are using oracle 9i rel 2.
I have not had much success with the creation of log and bad files using external tables when they are being used within a dynamic sql.
Plz check this:
