How to Recover Datafile in condition :
Old Instance was dropped but old controlfile still exist to new instance.

If there is RMAN .bkp backup, I won't post a thread in here, and just do :

The fact is there is no RMAN backup at all. Old database just dropped and uninstalled careless by my friend.
Fortunately there is still oradata folder(contain of control files and all datafiles).
But, I don't know to restore it manually and by system. I don't know file id of each datafile.
Helps / clues very appreciated.Well.If you have all control/online log/data files then there is no problem(also if you do not have pfile then create it manually according sample file).If your system is windows then create instance using oradim as
set ORACLE_SID=<SID>
oradim -new -sid <sid name> -intpwd <syspass> -pfile <pfile location>
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
startupif linux/unix then
export ORACLE_SID=<SID>
sqlplus "/as sysdba"
startup

Recover datafile using redolog file

Hi all,
please let me know if we can recover datafile using redolog file.
As my database has no archive log mode ON.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
For your information: NOARCHIVELOG mode protects a database only from instance failure, not from media failure.

Recovery using backup control file

Hello friends,
I have a scenario where i am unable to recover by database by using backup control file option can u pls give ur expert advice.
1) Database is working in ARCHIVE MODE.
2) One of my file was READ ONLY when i take my closed backup. At this time
v$log file output is :
group# thread# sequence# bytes member arc status first_change#
1 1 8 8192 2 yes inactive 4697463
2 1 9 8192 2 yes active 4717493
3 1 10 8192 2 no current 4717738
3) After 2-3 log switches i have made it READ WRITE.
4) After making it READ WRITE i have taken controlfile backup by using
ALTER SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO 'E:\ORACLE\CONTROL01.CTL';.
5) Again i have make some log switches.
6) Shutdown my database using SHUTDOWN option.
7) Copy my SYSTEM,UNDO,USER,INDEX datafiles from my backup (taken at
step 2) and CONTROL file (taken at step 4).
8) I have not copied my old redo log files so those are new.
9) I mount database & then use this command to recover database :
RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE AUTO;
10) My recovery process starts applying archived log files and applied upto
sequence no 9. When it starts applying last one 10 which is online redo log
and not yet archived my recovery process fails by giving this error:
ORA-00308: cannot open archived log 'd:\oracle\oradata\practice\archive\1_10.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
11) I try to open database using :
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
it gives following warning:
Error at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: datafile 1: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\PRACTICE\SYSTEM01.DBF'
Please guide me why it is so ?
Whether in BACKUP CONTROL FILE CASES system didn't recognise ONLINE REDO LOG FILES or it is anything else.
Regards
Sethi

Hi,
>>I am not using RMAN. I am taking user managed backups. Moreover i have tried what u said that make checkpoints also but again i came to the same result when it try to apply last archived log which was current redo log when database was started to shutdown it says unable to find the specified file & then when i open database using resetlogs it says system file needs media recovery.
it show error because you are using wrong approach of Recovery.
Alter database open Resetlog command is used only in incomplete recovery.
but your are giving
Recover database command,it means ur performing full recovery (means you have apply online redo logfile.) and after applying it you should open the database with Alter database Open command.
No need to give resetlog option.
Again Restore all backup;
Issue Recover database;
and open the database with
Alter database open;
Thanks

Regard ora-01207: How Oracle judge file is more recent than control file - old control file

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01122: database file 2 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 2: '/tmp/auxsys.dbf_rman'
ORA-01207: file is more recent than control file - old control file
How Oracle judge file is more recent than control file - old control file, then it thrown out error ora-01207.
It must compare data file with control file, but what compare?

Begin from the beginning.
Did you do a RESTORE DATABASE ?
Or did you selectively restore datafiles ?
Strange datafile name --- looks like it could have been a DATAFILECOPY done using rman.
It is a very bad idea to have a datafile in /tmp On some OSs, /tmp may get cleared of files on a reboot.

Tomcat Web-server uses old .class files

Hi Friends,
My Tomcat webserver uses old .class files. The problem persists even if I delete old class files. The new ones are formed but then if i again recompile, the new-old ones are used :)
Am I doing something wrong????
Please suggest!!

I have experienced this problem before as well. Tomcat seems to cache compiled class files for better speed. To get Tomcat to reload class files that I've recently recompiled here is what I do:
1. Go into the Tomcat server administration area (http://localhost/admin)
2. Choose the context that is using the classes that you want to reload (from Service / Host)
3. Make sure reloadable is set to true
3. Click save, and then commit changes
Hope this helps, but if there is a better way to get Tomcat to use the most recent class files I would love to hear it!

Issue in Printing, using Bursting control file

Hello All,
We are using bursting control file to print and email. Email option is working fine. But when it comes to printing, it is printing "PDF file not printed. 128MB of memory is required to enable direct PDF printing" in the printout.
We are using CUPS and below is the path we are using for printing,
ipp://localhost:631/printers/YG_MAIN
When we try to run the same program manually, by giving the printer name and number of copies to 1, then we are able to see the pdf output. Other normal bi publisher reports are also working fine, w.r.t that printer. We are facing this issue only when we are running xml bursting program, with print option.
Any suggestions please..
Here is the full bursting control file,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi">
<xapi:globalData location="stream">

</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>

BI Publisher bursting to CUPS printer doesn't use PASTA, so output doesn't get converted from PDF to Postscript which it does when you run it through concurrent manager.
You can put an entry in the $XDO_TOP/resource/xdodelivery.cfg as follows (replace for your printer):
<pre>
<server name="MYPRINTER" type="ipp_printer" default="true">
<uri>ipp://mycupsserver.mydomain:631/printers/MYPRINTER</uri>
<filter>/usr/local/bin/pdf2ps -paper A4 {infile} {outfile}</filter>
</server>
</pre>

How to use old nano ipod on new computer

How to use old nano ipod with new computer

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Trap The Duplicate Logging On FMS, LoggOff Old One And Accept New Instance.

Hi All,
I need help on the following topic of FMS 2.0.
On FMS Server I want to trap the duplicate logging, Logoff
Old One and accept New Instance.
The scenario is like this, if a user logged in with the name
wins” on FMS Application from his Office, after some
time he came to his home and want to logging again.
I want to disconnect or logoff the instance of application
which is logged in from his Office and allow him to logging from
his home.
Actually I want to implement the functionality like
Yahoo messenger.
Yahoo messenger gives the facility to login from another
system and logoff the previous instance.
So, tell me what I have to do to achieve this.
Thanks

onAppStart intitialize an object to hold all connected
clients, maybe called userList:
application.onAppStart = function(){
this.userList = {};
Then when someone logs in, they of course pass in their
username. Simply put that client in userList by its username.
application.onConnect = function(newClient, username){
this.acceptConnection(newClient);
this.userList[username] = newClient;
Then you can easily modify that code to boot the old client
if that username is already in use:
application.onConnect = function(newClient, username){
if(this.userList[username]){
this.disconnect(this.userList[username]);
this.acceptConnection(newClient);
this.userList[username] = newClient;
See if that works for ya.

How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

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?
Thanks for any advice.

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?

Recover datafile using cold backup in archivelog mode

Hi,
I have lost one of my datafiles i.e New.dbf from the disk. I have full database cold backup of last sunday. Also I have the archives. Is it possible to restore and recover only the lost datafile? Please help.

If you used RMAN to create the backup, then use RMAN again to restore that one datafile alone (RESTORE DATAFILE n) and then recover it (RECOVER DATAFILE n).
If you didn't use RMAN but you are sure that the backup was a COLD Backup, manually restore the datafile and then issue a RECOVER DATAFILE n from the SQLPlus command.
In either case you must ensure that the datafile is OFFLINE before you restore the file -- or take it OFFLINE with ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE n OFFLINE IMMEDIATE before doing the restore.
After the RECOVER is completed, you must bring it ONLINE with an ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE n ONLINE

•     Copy parameter file to Test Server. (Edit control file location on it)
•     Connect Rman
•     Set DB with new DBID
•     Startup Nomount (from new parameter file)
RUN

Old outlook file and New one...Same Job, different computer.

Hey Everyone -
I got kind of a unique situation (I think?) that I couldn't find an answer for.
My old work laptop (just for work email) had a graphic card meltdown and so I had to purchase a new computer. I was able to pull the hard drive out of it and salvage everything, including the outlook file.
Now on my new pc, when I set up my email (POP3) that is linked to some webmail website, I have everything that was online (at that website) in my current outlook.
I was thinking I could just take my old outlook file (7gb worth), bring it into outlook and combine them but I had no such luck. The other issue is, its still referencing the old outlook file off the old hard drive I have and it happens to be the same
exact name as the new one because its my name @ company name.com
Is there anyway to combine them or maybe even just import the new one, and THEN link it to the website?
Here's some screen shots:
They won't let me post screen shots.... If I can get "verified" I'll post them up...
Thanks!
AJ

What happens when you try to combine them? How did you try to combine them?
Copy the pst file to your new pcs hard drive. It can go in any folder - backing it up is easier if its in My Documents - rename it if the new data file has the same name. Open it in Outlook using File, Open, Outlook Data file. You could set it as default
and move all of the mail that arrived in the new pst into the old one or you can use both pst files.
