Registering primary database to catalog 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. Also we configured one schema on a third machine as catalog database using following steps.
The steps executed in catalog database(appsdb):
SQL> create tablespace rmancatlog_tbs datafile '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/NEW/rman_catalog.dbf' size 500M autoextend off extent management local segment space management auto;
SQL> create user rman identified by oracle
2 default tablespace rmancatlog_tbs
3 quota unlimited on rmancatlog_tbs
4 ;
SQL> GRANT connect, resource, recovery_catalog_owner TO rman;
RMAN> create catalog;
recovery catalog created
Added tns entries of catalog database in primary and standby. Then from primary database we tried to register to catalog database. It is showing that it is registering. But every query afterwards in rman is throwing the error. Below are the steps and error:

How to un-register target database in Catalog DB?

I am using 8.0.5. I create a Catalog database and register a target database with it for online backup. How do I un-register a target database from the Catalog DB if I do not want to continue taking backup? Is there any 'unregister' command?
Thanks in advance

Let me try...
If u know your dbid (which can be found out by just logging into rman with the target databasse)
login ot the catalog database throught sqlpplus as the catalog schema owner...
run the following query..
SELECT db_key, db_id FROM db WHERE db_id ="dbid just found";
then run
execute dbms_rcvcat.unregisterdatabase(db_key, db_id);
This will unregister your database from the catalog. however keep in mind that you will lose all records of your old backups..

Oracle RMAN recovery catalog database in a Primary and Standby mode

Hello All,
The customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups. There are are 200+ databases running on OEL, RHEL and Windows. So we planned to host the recovery catalog database on Oracle Active DataGuard 11.2.0.1 Enterprise Edition on RedHat EL 5.8 version on two physical servers. The Primary Instance will be in one server in the Primary DC and the Standby Instance will be on another server in another DC. Also all the database datafiles are hosted in ASM Diskgroups on SAN (DATA, FRA, REDO, ARCH diskgroups).
Are there any specific RPM/patch/OS user custom/specific settings or configurations needed..?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Abhijit

"The customer wants the RMAN recovery catalog database to be highly available so that none of the RMAN database backup jobs are impacted at the time of taking the database backups"
Hi,
i think you can achieve HA for the catalog DB. (Rac and Asm should work fine)
There's no way (afaik) to use TAF with the rman backup. If you have a failure during a backup it simply fails.
There is no TAF in this situation.
Hope this helps.

Views to check the catalog database name from target database.

Hi,
Please help me to find view to check the catalog database name which is connected to my target database because I am new to the current environment where I am working now and the previous DBA have done the set up having 2 catalog database. I want view to check from target database, which can show the catalog database name to which it is connected to.
We can check the catalog database name from the following ways but I want views to check it from target database.
1.TNSnames.ora
2.Any backup script connecting to catalog database.
3.From catalog database we can use rc_database view to check the databases registered with the catalog database.

Please help me to find view to check the catalog database name which is connected to my target databaseYou can check for any RMAN backup jobs that been scheduled on the server.
In the scheduled script check rman command.
You can then identify the database alias (of the catalog db) that is used in the rman backup script.
Once you have found the database alias, check for the database alias entry in tnsnames.ora file present in your target database server.
Once the entry is found, you can find the IP address and catalog db name from the tns entry.

Catalog Database crashed

Hi All Gurus,
I am taking rman backups of 10 database servers using 1 catalog server.Last night one of my datafile in server 7 has been corrupted and it needed recovery.While i try to do recovery i found the catalog server was also corrupted.So BIG problem.
I have rman backups of all servers on tapes and disks but i do not have backup of Catalog database.So Struck here?
Now i want to restore my database's datafile and also catalog database.I search on net but not found any document of how to restore the catalog database and the datafile.
Please help me in this how can i restore datafile of my database as well as how can i restore my catalog database so that it will be in its previous stage.
What will happen to my old rman backs which i taken through my damaged catalog database.How they will be sync. with current catalog database.
Regards
Sahil Soni

Hi Sahil,
Now i want to restore my database's datafileJust connect to the target database (and not the catalog) to restore and recover the corrupt datafile.
For syntax see.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta051.htm#i85188
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta044.htm#i84135
and also catalog databaseYou could create a new catalog if you have no backup to restore/recover from.
Than register all databases in the new catalog.
Rman backup metadata will automicaly be synchronized from the controlfile to the catalog.
Be aware old rman backup information will age out of the controlfile due to the setting control_file_record_keep_time.
So the old catalog might have had more information in it.

Config recovery catalog database

dear all.

I want to create a NEW database for recovery catalog, this database what characteristics must to have ?? Anyone have a link or document where explain me how to create a database (only i need database creation) for recovery catalog.???

The version is ORacle 10gr2

hi,
the recovery catalog is just a normal database with a schema called rman or whatever you choose.
it should ideally be on a separate server to your target database. The RMAN database as with any other database should have multiplexed control files and redo files.

10204 catalog database 112 target database and OEM

catalog database is 10.2.0.4 on server CSERV
OEM server is 10.2.0.4 OSERV
target database is 11.2 on server TSERV
I ran the RMAN command from RSERV (v10204) and registered target database (v112) without error
I went into OEM->TARGET page ->Maintenance->Recovery Catalog Settings->
     selected Use recovery catalog
     (the correct catalog was listed in the drop down (CSERV:1521:RMANUSER-rman_schema1
     added the OS username/password for TSERV
     pressed 'OK'
The error that was returned was:
"Recovery catalog scheme version 10.02 is not compatible with this version of RMAN."
I'm sure i'm doing something stupid, but would really appreciate any help.....
Regards,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Probably you used a 10g rman client on the command line to connect to both the target (11.2) and the catalog (10.2.0.4) during registration.
(according to the compatibilty matrix this works).
Be aware:
When using an older version of the RMAN client with a newer version of the database, you do not get the features of the newer version.According to your own information Grid uses the 11gr2 software.
added the OS username/password for TSERVWhich is incompatible with the 10.2 catalog.
Unfortunately, we can't upgrade the catalog at this time.You can upgrade the catalog schema without upgrading the catalog rdbms (but probably you do not want to execute any change during xmas and new year).
Please check:

Query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database

Hi,
How to get the recovery catalog database name from the registered target database?
i dont know my recovery catalog database for my target database.
I know we can use the query
select * from rc_database;
from recovery catalog database to know all the registered database with the recovery catalog but I want to know is there any way or query to identify the recovery catalog database name from target database to which the target database is registered
With Regards
Boobathi P

You can check the backup scripts which you use to backup your target database to get the catalog database name.
And check the corresponding connect string in TNSNAMES.ORA file or tnsping to get the server details of the catalog database.

Advantages of using higher version of catalog Database.

Hi Gurus,
Wanted to know what are the advantages of using higher version of catalog database.
for ex: my target database is 10.2.0.4 and catalog database is 11.2.0.1

The very reason is that you would be able to use all the new features offered by the current release. Like, 11gr2 offers Virtual Private Catalog which you can only use in 11.2. So its better that you move your catalog too to the higher version when you upgrade your database.
