Recover until cancel

Oracle XE windows xp
hi
lets say I dont have any backup which is taken by RMAN
SQL>recover database until cancel
Media recovery complete.
SQL>recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
ORA-00280: change 2019545 for thread 1 is in sequence #1
Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
What is the diffrence between two recover options?
In the first recover statement why ıt doesnt let me to cancel redolog.

but I dont have an old control file,even no backupswhat do you mean by dont have old controlfile even no backups??
recover database using backup controlfile will not take care of the SCN within controlfile ,normally when you issue recover database oracle aplly logs from redo till the CKPT SCN at controlfile but in case of using recover database using backup controlfile oracle neednt to know the SCN to stop applying recovery it starts aplly all archive logs as possible.You use recover database using backup controlfile when you have controlfile is older then yours datafile or you dont have valid controlfile i.e corrupted controlfile.

RMAN - Incremental backup / NOARCHIVELOG / Restore & Recover Until Cancel

I'm testing out a weekly plan as follows:
Sun : Shutdown db, RMAN level 0 Incremental Backup
Mon-Sat: Shutdown db, RMAN level 1 Incremental Backup.
The database is NOARCHIVELOG mode and is 10.2 XE.
I then run a restore (which I understand to be to move the datafiles from the backup set to their online location). My next aim is to do a recover.
I'm really confused at this point. Say I take the backup the night before (either a level 0 or 1, I'm assuming that this makes no difference) then in the morning I drop a table accidentally. Okay - I want to go back to the position after the backup. When I do recover, I understand that Oracle applies redo logs written since the backup.
So I don't want a recover, I want a recover until cancel. When I issue this command it is suggesting that I use an archive log file. Well obviously I don't have any of those so I press cancel thinking that this will bring me back to the point EXACTLY AFTER THE NIGHTLY BACKUP and with my table back. But it doesn't!
I would be really grateful if anyone has a definitive answer to this - what are the steps to recover a database to the point after the backup was taken ignoring any changes since the backup.
Thanks all.
Tom.

Hi Werner
Do you mean if the online logs are available with the changes after the last backup until the database restore then there is a possibility to apply changes? Ie at this point I could put in the redo log names instead of the archive log names.
If they have been overwritten since the backup (ie cycled round completely) then is the behaviour to restore the database and then not apply any logs?
Do you know if this is documented anywhere? There seems to be an emphasis on ARCHIVELOG mode only, especially in the books I have seen.
Thanks,
Tom

Rman recover noredo vs. until cancel

Hi,
Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1
What is the difference please between rman +recover noredo+ and +recover until cancel+ ?
According to Oracle documentation, noredo can be used if the database is in noarchvielog mode and the online redo logs are lost. Does this mean it actually does not apply the archvielogs, even if available? Is this the difference from recover until cancel ?
Also, why do I need to run recvover until cancel using backup controlfile from SQL, and cannot use RMAN, which does not understand this command?
Thanks.

According to Oracle documentation, noredo can be used if the database is in noarchvielog mode and the online redo logs are lost. Does this mean it >actually does not apply the archvielogs, even if available? Is this the difference from recover until cancel ?If database is in NOARCHIVE mode, there are NO archivelogs to apply!

DB Back to a Specific Time with Archive Logs (Until cancel or time?)

I'll try to be as clear as possible with my intended goals and the limitations of the system I'm working with:
1. We have a test instance of our Oracle DB that I would like to be able to refresh with data from the production instance at any time, without having to shut down the production database or put tablespaces into hot backup mode.
2. Both systems are HP Itanium boxes with differing numbers of CPUs and RAM. Those differences have been taken into account in the init.ora file for the DB instances.
3. The test and production instances are using a SAN to hold the following file systems: ora_redo1, ora_redo2, ora_archlog, oradata10g. The test instance is using SAN snapshots (HP EVA series SAN) of the production file systems to pull the data over when needed. The problem is that the only window to do this is when the production system is down for nightly maintenance which is about a 20 minute period. I want to escape this limitation.
What I've been doing is using the HP SAN to take snapshots of the file systems on the production system mentioned above. I do this while the production DB is up and running. I then import those snapshots into the test system, run an fsck to ensure file system integrity, then start up the Oracle instance as follows:
startup mount
Then I run the following query I found on line to determine the current redo log:
select member from v$logfile lf , v$log l where l.status='CURRENT' and lf.group#=l.group#;
Then I attempt to run a recovery as follows:
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
When prompted, I enter the path to the first of the current redo logs and hit enter. After waiting, sometimes it says that the recovery completed, other times it stops saying there was an error and that more files are needed to make the DB consistent.
I took the above route because doing a recover until time (which is what I really want to do) kept prompting me for the next archive log in sequence that didn't yet exist when I took the SAN snapshot. Here was my recover until time command:
recover database until time 'yyyy-mm-dd:hh:mm:ss' using backup controlfile;
What I would like to do is take the SAN snapshot and then recover the database to about a minute before the snapshot using the archive logs. I don't want to use RMAN since that seems to be overkill for this purpose. A simple recovery to a specific point in time seems to be all that is needed and I have archive logs which, I assume, SHOULD help me get there. Even if I have to lose the last hour's worth of transactions I could live with that. But my tests setting the specific time of recovery to even 12 hours earlier still resulted in a prompt for the next, non-existent archivelog.
I will also note that I even tried copying the next archive log over once it did exist and the recovery would then prompt me for the next archive log! I will admit right now that I really don't know a whole lot about Oracle or DBs, but it's my task to try and make it possible to "refresh" the test DB with the most recent data with no impact on the production DB.
The reason I don't want to use hot backup mode is that I don't know the DB schema other than there are probably 58 or more tablespaces. The goal is to use SAN snapshots for their speed instead of having to take RMAN files and copy them to the test instance. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has ever tried this. But most of what I've found on line refers to RMAN, hot backup mode, or down time. The first two don't take advantage of SAN snapshots for a quick swap of all the Oracle file systems and I can't afford downtime other than that window at night. Is there some reason that the recover to time didn't work even though I have archive logs?
One final point. The recover until cancel actually worked a couple of times, but it seems to be sporadic. It likely has something to do with what was happening on the production DB when I created the SAN snapshots. I actually thought I had a solution with recover until cancel last week until it didn't work three times in a row.

I haven't completely discounted it but it seems like I would need to back up to files, then restore from files. I don't want to do that. I want a full file system level SAN snapshot that I can just drop into place. The does work when the production base is shut down. However, considering that I do have archive logs, shouldn't it be possible to use them to recover to a specific scene without having to do an RMAN backup at all? It seems that doing an RMAN backup/recovery would just make this whole process a lot longer since the DB is 160 gigs in size (not huge, but the dump would take more time than I would like). With a SAN snapshot, if I can get this to work, I'm looking at about a 15-20 minute period of time to move the production DB over to test.
Since you are suggesting that RMAN may be a better approach I'll provide more details about what I'm trying to do. Essentially this is like trying to recover a DB from a server that had its power plug pulled. I was hoping that Oracle's automatic recovery would do the same thing it would do in that instance. But obviously that doesn't work. What I want to do is bring over all the datafiles, redo logs, and archive logs using the SAN snapshot. Then if possible use some aspect of Oracle (RMAN if it can do it) to mount the database, then recover to a specific time or SCN if using RMAN. However, when I tried using RMAN to do it, I got an error saying that it couldn't restore the data file because it already existed. Since I don't want to start from scratch and have RMAN rebuild files that I've already taken snapshots of (needless copying of data), I gave up on the RMAN approach. But, if you know of a way to use RMAN so that it can recover to a specific incarnation without needing to runm a backup first, I am completely open to trying it.

Recover database until cancel using backup controlfile Fails with ORA-01547

Hi
First of all, I'm sorry for posting in this community as my issue doesn't have any thing to do with Rman, but I couldn't find any more relative Community to post in
our System is Oracle EBS 11i and the OS on the production is AIX 5.2 / and the DR is 5.3 / DB version is 9i
we have our Oracle ERP scheduled using crontab to take a database COLD backup daily using gtar -cvzf .
yesterday I needed to clone the database only, so I used my usual method witch is
1) on the source SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as '<dest>/makecntrlfil.sql'
then you can delete the Commented header and change the first command from
"CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE <SOURCE> NORESETLOGS ..."
TO
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE <TARGET> RESETLOGS <NO>ARCHIVELOG
2) de-compress the tgz files
3) on the target edit the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<source>.ora, $ORACLE_HOME/environment file
4)run /ORACLE_HOME/appsutils/clone/bin/adcfgclone.prl
5) delete old controlfiles
6) on the database run the script you created on firs t step to create a new control fole
7)recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
8) alter database open resetlogs
add new temp file system
this way I used to do it
but yesterday when trying to execute recover database it didn't work, and gave this error
ORA-00279: change 6450277404 generated at 02/28/2013 02:47:56 needed for thread

nothing strange in the original alert log file in the time of taking the backup
So can You please tell me what maybe wrong and why it used to work before and now it's not
take in consideration that we are on archive log mode, but not using Rman or the archived Logs for backup and the sequence it needed ( 188462 ) is too old and already deleted on Production.

"recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

Hello,
Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
First we restored, an online backup.
We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
Then we performed the recovery :
According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
The probleme is it prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

When restaring the database we could see that, a recovery of online redo log has been performed automatically, is it the normal behaviour of a recovery using "recover database until cancel" command ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
Let me answer your query.
=======================
Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
      then do not go for until cancel recovery.
2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
     process is    on.
3. During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying V$RECOVERY_LOG you    can find out about the redologs required.
4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
Hope this information helps.

Doubt in Recover database until cancel

Hi experts,
One query, I want to try out recover database until cancel. But my archivelog files are in tape drive. How do i do it as it ask for archiver destination directory for the archivelog file.
Or can any please explain how should i do it.
Thanks in advance
shaan

Hi Satist,
when i apply the other archivelog file, it again shows the error

I'll say it again in case you missed it the first time: V$ views are NOT part of the data dictionary. You can't read the data dictionary until the database is opened.
If you've performed a recovery 'until cancel', your datafiles are all in synch with each other. They may even agree with checkpoint change number in the controlfile. But what about your redo logs? By definition, they will have changes in them from a time after the point in the redo stream you got to when you said 'cancel'.
Therefore, the redo logs will be ahead of where the rest of the database has now gotten to.
And that is why you HAVE to open the database with a resetlogs operation (that is, 'alter database open resetlogs;'). That causes the existing redo logs to be wiped clean and thus cleared of any redo from a time after the time the rest of your database has been recovered to.

Recover database cancel using controlfile

Hi,
I want to know what means and what will do this command
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE
and what means the option
Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}
thanks for you help

I want to know what means and what will do this command
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE
and what means the option
Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}You can perform recovery by providing logs how you wish.
suggested - you can give enter, so that which thread & Sequence it wants it will apply one archive.
filename - if you want to mention filename(in case actual file name is different) ,ofcourse you can give one by one up to what archives you want to apply
Auto - If you want to perform recovery with all the available archvies, you can prefer option too
Cancel - if you apply any of the archives, when you want to cancel, If you perform this recovery will be cancelled.

RECOVER UNTIL SEQ= 1425

Hi,
my database in 9i. It is in archive log. It has crashed just now at 11 Am. I have the cold backups of last night 00 PM. I have also my today archivlogs and the last one is 1_5_636384500.DBF.
Can I open my database with cold backup and then do
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL LOGSEQ=636384500 THREAD= 1;
to have all my today transaction until 11 Am ?
If the syntax is wrong please correct it.
Many thanks.

Well, as orafad says, it helps to have the right syntax.
Also, you are doing incomplete recovery. That means you are using archivelogs which contain information which is unknown to the control file. You have to tell Oracle this, otherwise it will look in your control file and refuse to recover your database in the belief that it is already good and consistent.
You need
recover database using backup controlfile until <whatever>;
alter database open resetlogs;
As for <whatever> you can use 'cancel' or a time or a change number.
what should also work would be:
recover automatic database using backup controlfile;
In this case it will generate archivelog names and continually apply them until it can't find a log.
at that point you type in cancel and
'alter database open resetlogs;
(It will expect to find archivelogs in the directory it copied them to in the first place)

HP LaserJet 3700 - Reprints job until cancelled

I have a HP Color LaserJet 3700n on my network and I am attempting to set it up with OS X 10.7. The driver is built in to Lion and is unavailable anywhere else.
When I send a test page or any other print job to the printer, it repeats printing it until the paper runs out or I cancel the job. Something is wrong here but I can't see how to change any relevant settings.
Changing the driver to "Generic PCL" works fine but then doesn't support color.
Any ideas?

I suggest you redownload the drivers for your system.
LJ 3700 Win 7 32bit drivers
LJ 3700 Win 7 64bit drivers
See if that helps.
What the message is teeling you is that the installed drivers don't support collation. Its possible that the Win 7 drivers are not able to do collation yet. If that is the situation I would suggest using the support area to e-mail HP to see if this is true and, if so, when they might be available.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Duplication doesnt recover until set time asks for more archives

Hi all
Today i refreshed Database (TST)

Sep 24 21:40 CF_c-616662153-20130924-01_PROD.bak
this was the backup taken with catalog also
CF is control file
AF is archives
DF is datafiles
now while doing refresh i used
set until time "to_date(upper('24-Sep-20132133'),'DD-MON-YYYYHH24MI')+(1/24/60)";
Since 1st control file was taken and 21:33 and 1/24/60 means recover database until 21:33 + 1minute
After this also duplication is asking for archives which are generated latest .
please suggest me on this why database is not able to recover and left in mounted stage as it should be able to open database without any issue
Regards

Hi
I think i should go for restore control file from CF_c-616662153-20130924-01_PROD.bak
eg
restore controlfile from '<path>/CF_c-616662153-20130924-01_PROD.bak ';
in target database and then go from duplication and set until time mentioned below
which is the last control file backup and then go for
set until time "to_date(upper('24-Sep-20132133'),'DD-MON-YYYYHH24MI')+(1/24/60)";
Hope this will resolve this issue and database will refresh and open automatically without asking further archive information
please give suggestion or correct me if i am wrong ..
Regards

RECOVER UNTIL TIME

Hi all,
I try to flashback my database and when i do the command FLASHBACK DATABASE TO SCN 122343434; i receive the message saying that i don´t have any flashback logs. I don´t know why these logs disappear. What i whant now is recover database until time because i have all my archives. How can i do this??
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SCN my_scnnumber;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Is just that??
Tks,
Paulo.

Do you have FLASHBACK enabled?

Incremental backup and recover with UNTIL SCN options.

Hi there
My question is just about internal RMAN mecanisms.
Suppose i've cumulative method for backup with RMAN.
Reference backup provided by Level 0 (by night)
after that i've file001.arc, file002.arc during day
Baclup cumulative Level 1 (by night)
after that i've file003.arc, file004.arc, file005.arc during day
Baclup cumulative Level 1 (by night)
after that i've file006.arc, file007.arc, file008.arc, file009.arc, file010.arc, file011.arc during day
Baclup cumulative Level 1 (by night)
after that i've file012.arc, file013.arc during day
Baclup cumulative Level 1 (by night)
Suppose we need to recover with UNTIL SCN ... (incident can be identied by SCN #nnnnn, suppose SCN near of file008.arc).
Is Rman use benefits of incremental, or in this case (need to recover before particular SCN) systematically start with Reference backup (Created by Incremental Level 0) and then file001.arc, file002.arc ....
Platform:Oracle 10g

You recover using backup controlfile when you have lost the controlfile - should be obvious.
You recover until cancel when, for example, you want to manually see the archive logs being applied and decide when to stop recovering (maybe you have lost the archive log backups and want it to stop when you don't have any more left to apply).

Lost seq of redo log due to corruption and cannot recover database.

This db I am working on is a test database running 10.2.0.3 on OEL5. Unfortunately due to some human error, we lost the redo log sequence 1_28_xxxxxx.redo. As this was a non-critical db, we didn't plan any backups for the db... and now whenever I try to open the db I get the error:
