Hi,
I am using oracle 10.2.0 on windows xp. my database is in archivelog mode. I am learning recovery. I take backup of database using

Finished restore at 03-SEP-09now i have two backup one is full database backup which will not work another is backup of all archivelog upto sequence 87 i think it should work.
but rman is choosing full database backup for restore.
so i need to force rman to choose archivelog backups for restore but don't know how to do it. please suggest.
Thanks

Recovering data when log files corrupt

I am interested to understand if you can easily salvage the data files if the log files corrupt for some reason. Thus far I cannot see how this can be easilly achieved as db_backup requires a working environment, and since the log files may have vanished, the LSN of the data files will be greater than of the last log - and therefore refuse to create the environment.
Ideally I guess, I am looking for a tool that can reset the LSN in place. It would be better to have access to your 100's of GB of data and accept a small amount of inconsistency or data loss than have nothing.
Thanks

Hi,
Resetting LSNs can be done using db_load -r lsn or using the lsn_reset() method, and it is done in place.
If your log files are corrupted, you would need to verify the database files (you can use the db_verify BDB utility or the verify() method). The actions you will further take depend on the result of verifying the database files:
- if they verify correctly then you just need to reset the LSNs and the file IDs in the databases and start with a fresh environment,
- if they do not verify correctly, you could restore the data from the most recent backup, or you can perform a salvage dump of the data in the database files using db_dump -r or db_dump -R and than reload the data using db_load; see the Dumping and Reloading Databases doc section in the Berkeley DB Programmer's Reference Guide.

Andrei

Can someone guide me on how I can create a new log file and get my database up and running.
Thanks
Anthony

After a bit more research I fixed the problem.
But just in case anyone else does the same stupid thing - here is how I fixed it.
connect / as sysdba
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
And database is up and running.

RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
can this happened due to data base or log file corruption, if so how can i check on that to verify the issue
Its not necessary if the issue is with network it would happen every day IMO it basically happens when load on network is high and you transfer log file which is big in size.
As per message database engine was not able to restore log backup and said that you must rebuild log because it did not find out log to be consistent. From here it seems log corruption.
Is it the same log file you restored ? if that is the case since log file was corrupt it would ofcourse give error on wehatever server you restore.
Can you try creating logshipping on new server by taking fresh full and log backup and see if you get issue there as well. I would also say you to raise case with Microsoft and let them tell what is root cause to this problem

Log file corrupt and can't open the database.

I use Replication Manager to manage my Replication; and there is only one site currently in my application.
I killed the App process with signal -9. (ie. $ kill -9 appID).
Then I try to restart the App, but the event_callback function got a PANIC event when to open the envirment.
The open flag is:
flags = DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL |
DB_INIT_REP | DB_INIT_TXN | DB_RECOVER | DB_THREAD;
ret = dbenv->open(dbenv, path, flags | DB_SYSTEM_MEM, 0);
What's the reason cause this problem?
How can recover it ?

First, what version of Berkeley DB are you running and on what system?
The error indicates something amiss in the log. The LSN values are quite
small. Can you run 'db_printlog -N -h <env path>' and post the log
contents?
If you are using BDB 5.0 or later, can you also post the contents of
the __db.rep.diag00 file in the environment home directory? Thanks.

Could anyone please tell me how to solve this problem.

Do you have it trying to read that same file on your C drive or is the file actually deployed somewhere on the server?

How to recover from corrupt redo log file in non-archived 10g db

Thanks very much for your help guys. I appreciate it. unfortunately none of these commands worked for me. I kept getting error on clearing logs that redo log is needed to perform recovery so it can't be cleared. So I ended up restoring from earlier snapshot of my db volume. Database is now open.
Thanks again for your input.And now, as a follow-up, at a minimum you should make sure that all redo log groups have at least 3 members. Then, if you lose a single redo log file, all you have to do is shutdown the db and copy one of the good members (of the same group as the lost member) over the lost member.
And as an additional follow-up, if you value your data you will run in archivelog mode and take regular backups of the database and archivelogs. If you fail to do this you are saying that your data is not worth saving.

Display string from a log file on a Dashboard?

Hello everyone,
I need a little guidance on how to solve this problem in SCOM 2012 R2.
I need SCOM to do this:
Read a log file on a specific application server (say its hostname is server21)
Look for the text: Total number of users: 15
Display the text “Users on Server21 =
15” on a SCOM dashboard (or something to that effect)
Sounds simple enough? Well, I am stumped :-(
I have read and followed tutorials on internet, telling me how to create a rule and alerts. However I don’t want alerts. I want this data to be simply shown on a dashboard.
How can I do that?
PS: I hear that I may have to create my own management pack with only server21 in it. Is that right?

Thanks for the tip. The powershell grid widget is pretty powerful. However it will take me quite some time and effort to write a PS script which can extract the exact info I need from that application's log file. I was hoping SCOM's own log parsing
capabilities would do it.
By the way, yes, we can create a MP and have only one server in it. We can use the (free)
MPAuthor to make a MP with only one server in it. Here is a video showing how to do it...
http://www.silect.com/static/mpauthor/MP_Author_Creating_a_New_Single_Server_Application_MP.mp4
I tried doing what I want using MPAuthor, but it again boiled down to me writing a PS script which can extract the exact info I need
from that application's log file.

Job number from alert log file to information

Hello!
I have a question about job numbers in alert log file. Today one of our Oracle 10g R2 [10.2.0.4] RAC nodes crashed. After examining alert log file for one of the nodes I saw a lot of messages like:
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j002_28952.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627358*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011

ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
Tue Jul 26 11:52:43 2011
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/admin/zeme/bdump/zeme2_j000_9684.trc:
ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job *20627342*
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
After examining trc files I have found no further information about error except session ids.
My question is: how to find what job caused these messages to appear in alert log file.
How do I map number in alert log file to some "real" information (owner, statement executed, schedule)?
Marx.

Sorry for the delay
Try this to find the job :
select job, what from dba_jobs ;
How do I find NLS_LANG version?SQL> show parameter NLS_LANG
Do you mean ALTER SESSION inside a job?I meant anywhere, but your question is better.
ORA-12705 - Common Reasons and How to Resolve Them [ID 158654.1]
If OS is Windows lookout for NLS_LANG=NA in the registry
Is it possible you are doing this somewhere ?
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'RRRR-MM-DD\"T\"HH24:MI:SS';NLS database settings are superseded by NLS instance settings
SELECT * from NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
These are the settings used for the current SQL session.
NLS_LANG could be set in a profile for example.
NLS_LANG=_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( correct )
NLS_LANG=AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 ( Incorrect )
you need to set the "_" as separator.
Windows
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
Unix
export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

SELECT top two longest running steps from a log file

Simplified example.
Our jobs write records to our own internal log file. I want to write a query that will pull log records for a specific job, between specific dates. This will help determine if the job is running slower than usual and to find the steps within the job that
are the longest running.
Jobs are identified by the Type field. Type=1 is a specific job name.
Each job writes a DESC=START record to the log at the beginning of the job. the Desc=START record will be updated at the end of the job with the ENDDT.
I want to pull the top two longest running steps (ENDDT-BEGINDT) for each job (Type) where the step startdr and enddt falls between the START startDT and end dt.
I also want to always pull key step names, like DESC=START and DESC=xya for each job.
LOG RECORDS
DESC,TYPE,BEGINDT,ENDDT
START,1,2014-10-22 07:56:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
aaa,1,2014-10-22 07:57:56.000,2014-10-22 08:57:56.000
bbb,1,2014-10-22 08:57:56.000,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000
ccc,1,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
xya,1,2014-10-22 09:55:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
START,1,2014-10-21 11:56:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
aaa,1,2014-10-21 11:57:56.000,2014-10-22 01:57:56.000
bbb,1,2014-10-22 01:57:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
ccc,1,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000
xya,1,2014-10-22 09:55:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
Desired result set.
If pulling job type 1 records for last 2 days, would end up with this result set. START and xya are always pulled and then the top 2 longest running steps for each of the START records.
DESC,TYPE,BEGINDT,ENDDT,Duration
START,1,2014-10-22 07:56:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
aaa,1,2014-10-22 07:57:56.000,2014-10-22 08:57:56.000
ccc,1,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
xya,1,2014-10-22 09:01:56.000,2014-10-22 09:56:56.000
START,1,2014-10-21 11:56:56.000,2014-10-22 02:56:56.000

Version Cue Log Files Corrupted.

Address:
Version Cue CS2 > config > configuration.
I'm trying to create a back up of my hard drive, as a precaution whilst running an Adobe Clean script but the back up software is finding corrupt Version Cue log files.
Are these files critical?
Is it okay for me to delete one or two if they have become corrupted?

This is why I don't use Version Cue.
But you will get much better help in the Version Cue Forum http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.2ccdf13f/

Apply exakt steps from History log file to another image?

Alright. If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on, you can look at the exakt steps you've made with all the settings for the individual tools and effects used. Also steps you make can be recorded with the actions tool.
My question is, are there any way to "play" the steps listed in the history log file, as if it were an action?
I need to apply alot of steps to several images but I never recorded the steps I've made with the actions tool. However they are "recorded" in the history log file and I could go in and look and recreate all those steps manually, but that would take too much time...
Are there any plug-ins or are there any other way to do what I need to get done?
Cheers
Martin

1. you can set your preferences to record the history to a txt file or the files metadata.
I assumed that is what the OP already did as indicated in
If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on,
wonder why there are no feature in Photoshop to replay all one have done, to any image?
As you know there is, it’s Actions (as with Scripting not all functionality records; Edit: and not all functionality is applicable to all files because of Color Mode and Bit Depth for example). But it is up to you to employ the necessary foresight to know what to record beforehand.
Also a non-destructive workflow can help make many effects/compositions/etc. easily transfer-/recreateable.

Best way to extract lines from a log file in Linux

My query is that I have a log file which is around 7 GB and I want to extract lines between a certain time range which should total up to half of the size to 3.5 GB. The lines start with a time range like “2014-03-11 17:35:00”. I want to extract the lines between “2014-03-11 17:35:00” to “2014-03-11 18:05:00”. What should be the best way as there may be a grep command or a sed command to do it.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

How about the following:
awk '/2014-03-11 17:35:00/, /2014-03-11 18:05:00/' infile > outfile
