Recover Oracle DB 11.1.0.7 using target database controlfile RMAN Hot Backu

Hi All,
DB:11.1.0.7
OS:RHEL Linux 4 64-bit
Could anyone please share the "Steps to recover Oracle DB 11.1.0.7 using target database control file RMAN of previous Hot Backup"
We are not using Recovery Catalog.
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

If the current control file is still present on disk, you can merely issue a RESTORE DATABASE followed by a RECOVER DATABASE.
If you are not attempting a Complete Recovery (i.e. upto the last transaction in the online redo logs) and/or the online redo logs are not available, you would also include a SET UNTIL (scn or log sequence or time) clause in you RESTORE and RECOVER.
If the current control file is not available, you would STARTUP NOMOUNT, then restore the controlfile, then MOUNT the database before proceeding with the RESTORE and RECOVER.
Oracle will automatically identify and restore and apply the necessary archivelogs when you issue the RECOVER DATABASE. You don't need to manually restore them in advance. However, you will need sufficient disk space to restore the archivelogs (e.g. if the backup is 3 days old, Oracle will attempt to restore 3 days of archivelogs).
The standard documentation is at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmcomre.htm#i1009223

Check what oracle installed components are actually being used in database

I have been allotted a new database which I have to optimize. So I am thinking about removing some installed components which I think are not being used in any way in database (i.e procedures calls etc). I can see a whole lot of components like "SDO","ORDIM" which I think are not being used but previous DBAs have installed them. So, is there any way to ensure that no part of database are actually using these components so that I can remove these components. Also ,what are your expert comments about this?

Is this a production or a development environment? If an object isn't being used then it's not necessarily a problem (performance wise) unless it's cluttering up either your dictionary or raising concerns in regards consuming unnecessary space. Personally I'd recommend that it's better to tune what is being used / taking resources. It may be a once a year report or some old utility pulled out once a year, best check why these things are there.
If you go down the dropping route, rather than drop anything immediately lock accounts for an agreed period of time to make sure that the schema isn't used & check any references from other schemas to objects within the schema that you're planning to drop, potentially audit these to check whether they're being called by other schemas / checking dba_dependencies between schemas & objects using a hierarchical query to check sublevels.
There are also quite a few Oracle standard components that are installed by default that have interdependencies and won't necessarily be used in the dictionary (checking dba_features_usage_statistics)

Restore Database with Oracle 9i with a New Host using RMAN

Gurus,
I am trying to restore a database from some RMAN created files on a new host with a new directory structure for some testing. I do not have access to the source database.
The database is Oracle 9i.
The files that have been created are the following:
'C-2995630462-20110214-00' is the control file and SP file backup.
'B_ABM4KAJ5_1_1' is the database backup.
B_ACM4KARS_1_1 and B_AAM4KAIV_1_1 are archived redo logs
Here is the RMAN listing from when the files were created:

I am new to using RMAN and I'm hoping someone could point me in a direction of some documentation to assist with the scenario described above. I've looked at several Oracle documents but have been unable to find a way to separate out the spfile from the control file.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks Meeran.
I have attempted to follow the directions from the RMAN document that you posted and have run into the following error:

It looks like it correctly tried to create a dummy spfile, but when attempting the restore from the file it breaks.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Recovering primary using standby database

Hi all,
Here we have a dataguard environment with db1(db_unique_name) as primary and db2(db_unique_name) as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. And now we want to configure rman for incremental backups.After configuring we successfully took full backup in standby plus archive logs. Then as the test case we dropped one datafile from the primary and tried to recover it. It is showing the following error. Also when i tried 'crosscheck backup' from primary it is showing that all the backups taken in standby are 'expired'. But from RMAN connected to standby the same backups are showing as 'available'. Can anyone help to fix this?

Recover Database in RMAN vs SQL*PLUS

Hello,
Oracle 11.2.0.1, Oracle Linux 5.5 UEK.
I recently did a "recover database" in sql*plus, but an attempt to open the database gave ORA-01113, complaining the system tablespace requried more recovery. Then I used RMAN (nocatalog) and after the same "recover database" command I was able to open the database.
It seems there are differences between SQL*PLUS and RMAN "recover database" command. I have not been able to locate the chapter in the Oracle documentation that explains the difference. I have some ideas, but...
Thanks.
h3. Solution Summary:
The recover command in RMAN compared to SQL*Plus implements a more user friendly processing logic based on the current detected scenario. For instance, a RMAN recover database command may actually perform a "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" and automatically apply all archived and online redo logs if available. The same can be achieved with the recover command in SQL*plus, but will have to be done manually.

Dude wrote:
I did not remove any datafiles or redo logs. it is the same restore operation as before, and again RMAN "recovery database" succeeds, whereas SQL recover has trouble. This tells me something is different between the two methods. For one, RMAN does not requrie to specify "using backup controlfile".
Maybe someting about "resetlogs" that that RMAN recover can handle and SQL recover not?No,problem is there.If you using rman execute RECOVER DATABASE it also will apply online logs(if available) also and as result you will get complete recovery however you must open database with resetlogs option due to you recovered database using backup controlfile.So also you can recover and open database applying this online logs.After executing RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE you have to pass full path of online log then press ENTER so log will apply and you can open database with RESETLOGS.See below

Completed: alter database recover logfile 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\T\REDO02.LOG'And finally you see clearly that even if you execute RECOVER DATABASE from RMAN it actually execute RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE (from alert.log start until cancel using backup controlfile)
And these is not any difference.
Hope that help you and you got answer.

Recover tablespace is failing and not able to open database

Hello All,
I am using Oracle RAC 11g R2 on Linux. My database is running in NOARHIVELOG mode.
I am testing some RMAN scenarios.
After doing a the below scenario: I think the problem that I used switch log file!!!
RMAN> backup tablespace 'USERS' TAG 'TestBkp_FRA';
RMAN> backup backupset 10 format '/testasm/backup%U' delete input; -- here 10 is the backup set generated in the previous command
RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 tablespace users;
alter system switch logfile;-- many times i am not able to recover my users tablespace because of the below :

Auxiliary filename conflicts with a file used by the target database

Hi,
I am using RMAN backup to duplicate my prod database.

Can't restore backup, I don'find the right format to use for date with RMAN

Hi I would like to restore my database to a point in time but I can't because I am not able to find the NLS_DATE_FORMAT to use.
I don't know how to alter the session parameters at the RMAN prompt
I would like to restore to this time set until time 'May 10 2006 08:48:10';
Can't some one just tell me how to use thise settings? Please it is urgent

I am on Debian

Not able to create a database link using the database gateway of oracle 11g

HI,
While trying to create a database link to SQL server from Oracle ,using the database gateway provided with 11g, i am getting the following error while making use of it in selecting columns from tables :
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from test1@dblink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
These are the steps i have followed for setting up:
1.Ran the set up for the Database gateway.and mentioned the SQL server name and database .ALos set up a listener.
2. Added the following in the Listener.ora of Oraclehome 11/NETWORK/ADMIN:
LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost) (PORT = 1541)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=dg4msql)
(ORACLE_HOME= D:\app\20537\product\11.1.0\db_3)
(PROGRAM=dg4msql)
3.Added the following in tnsnames.ora inOracle home/NETWORK/ADMIN:
dg4msql=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1541))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql))
(HS=OK)
4. Following is the entry in initdg4msql.ora in C:\product\11.1.0\tg_5\dg4msql\admin:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=10.148.45.242:1433//SalesDemo
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
5. Created the database link :
create database link dblink
connect to "sa" identified by "<pswd>"
using 'dg4msql'
On running :select * from test1@dblink i get the following error:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from test1@dblink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
Is there any issue with the set or definition that I get the above error?

What is the version of the Oracle database in which you have specified/and use the database link?
If it is for example 10.2.0.3.0 you need to apply the mandatory patch for RDBMS bug 5965763 first before being able to use an 11g gateway. Have a look at MetaLink note 457808.1 for details about this patch.

Ed

ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery

I am trying to recover standby database, but it is giving the below error.
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery, recovery is already stated
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'I:\ORACLE\QAS\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM.DATA1'
when i checked in the alert log the recovery is not started. and later i hae given "alter database recover cancel' and the command end up with the below line
"media recovery not started".
it seems that the recovery has stuck in between.
please advise me how to kill the recovery session that's stuck. because i dont want to bounce the standby database.
thanks in advance.

Without dataguard and MRP, you are running a scripted standby.
In a scripted standby, a RECOVER DATABASE session would have an UNTIL clause (most likely UNTIL SEQUENCE). At the end of the recovery to that point (SEQUENCE#), it exits and shuts down the database.
Also, the scripting is such that when one RECOVER session is active, another session is not allowed to start. It may loop in wait state or exit and retry at the next scheduled interval.
Apparently your standby scripting is not robust enough to prevent another RECOVER session from starting off even as the first is active (and/or it doesn't have a proper UNTIL clause and stop, exit, shutdown actions)
What you have is a custom implementation of a standby database. Without complete details of the script, the "locking" between sessions (to prevent a second RECOVER from starting when one is already running) etc .... we really cannot do much to help you.
Your scripts should be maintaing status information . It should be possible for you to discover the "other" sqlplus session that has issued a RECOVER DATABASE but not yet exited (e.g. ... how about a simple "ps -ef |grep sql" and "ps -ef | grep ora" combination ??)

Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.For sure it is double work, To copy backup files on UNIX host.
Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

Recover oracle 9i without backup

we have HP for network mointoring and at backend we using 9i oracle ok and whats happened actully we have OS cluster here and the cluster machine was down from last 4 month i boot it after booting... mine oracle 9i crashed on oracle9i there was 2 databases one was Ovpi and one was SD
as sort we done configured Rman and backup archive files + control files
with the help of that we have recoverd OVPI successfuly but now we dont have backup of arcive files for SD backup is upto date so can when i run revover database; command its shows error for system01.dbf and wants to read some archive file that isuch as archive_sd_1550.log
but the latest archive file in directory is archive_sd_1549.log
So plz help me how can i recover this one
Regards,
Kamran J. Chaudhry

Crashed term is broad spectrum ,whenver the word crash comes it means you may lost controlfile or datafiles or redolog files or yours database block get corrupted or so on and on...As you mentioned yours server crashed its a question mark on every reader that what you crashed?
what it gives error when you try to open the database?
There is no thumb rule for recovering the database it alls depends on scenario.Crashing is not scenario ,scenario is losing controlfiles,datafile or logfiles.Please find out exactly what you lost ,if you identify what you lost then you can be ahead what to recover,otherwise just "crashing" and restoring and recovering the whole database is totally wastage of time as well lead to failure to recover the database sometime.

R3trans finished 0012 / cannot recover data file 1 file is in use or recove

Hi
After a system Cloning from PRD to SandBox, SAP doesn't start any more :
/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run/startdb: Terminating with error code 12
DB startup failed
On the other hand, I can start the database manually, but SAP still doesn't connect to the DB.
The R3trans -d returns the following :
2EETW169 no connect possible: "maybe someone set invalid values for DIR_LIBRARY ('/usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run') or dbms_type ('ORA')"
R3trans finished (0012).
DIR_LIBRARY is correctly set.
I tought may be the databse is inconsistent, so I tried to recover the it.
The recover command doesn't work too :
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01124: cannot recover data file 1 - file is in use or recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/oracle/SID/sapdata1/system_1/system.data1'
I shall be very grateful to you for any help !

Connecting to Oracle DB on Ubuntu 8.04 using SQL Developer

Hi,
I managed to install Oracle 11g on Ubuntu 8.04 using this guide:
http://www.pythian.com/blogs/968/installing-oracle-11g-on-ubuntu-804-lts-hardy-heron
But I don't remember the Username or SID, that's why I keep on getting ORA-12505 from SQL DEVELOPER
How can I get those missing informations?

But I don't remember the Username or SIDAssuming your DB is up and running, you can find out the SID by :
$ ps -ef | grep smon | grep -v grep
oracle 15298 1 1 10:59 ? 00:00:00 ora_smon_db11
$ here db11 is the SID.
About username, you can create one. Use Sql*Plus and OS authentication :
$ export ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
