Restore Backup log file back SID .log and be*****.ant

Dear all,
I have to restore sap oracle online backup from source server to target server. We have taken the backup of source server on tape. Now we have to restore that tape backup on target server. We don't have back<SID>.log and be*****.ant with us.
How can we restore the back<SID>.log and be****.ant tape first by which we can start the restore online backup on target server or without this back<SID>.log and be****.ant can we restore the backup on other location ( which i tried but not working, it is asking for back<SID>.log file.
Thanks

Hi Ward,
As long as you have complete oracle datafiles, restore without logfiles can be done.
1. As a precauition, copy all /oracle/<SID> to a safe place during offline state (SAP down, Oracle down)
2. Replace each datafile from tape to the current datafile location. e.g /tape/sr3.data1 -> /oracle/<SID>/sapdata1/sr3_1/sr3.data1
3. Make sure that archive logs is complete from the point where you start online backup.
4. sqlplus /nolog
5. startup mount
6. You will likely found error with controlfile. Replace all oracle controlfiles from tape backup, then repeat the startup
7. recover database until cancel using backup controlfile
8. choose the archive where you want the point of restore
Good luck

  • Log file size is huge and cannot shrink.

    I have a live database that is published with merge replication and a couple of push subscriptions. I just noticed that the log file has grown to 500GB. The database is in full recovery. We do weekly full backups, daily log backups. I cannot shrink the log
    file back down to normal proportions. It should only be about 5GB. The file properties show an initial size equal to the current size, I cannot change that number and I don't know why it is so big now? How do I go about shrinking the log file. the normal DBCC
    shrink and the SSMS GUI to shrink are not doing anything and say there is 0MB space free!!

    As per your first posing log_reuse_wait_desc was LOG_BACKUP
    and in 2nd REPLICATION . i am consfused
    if
    log_reuse_wait_desc  column
    shows LOG_BACKUP then table log backup of your db, if it is REPLICATION 
    and you are sure that your replications are in sync then reset the status of replicated transactions
    You can reset this by first turning the Reader agent off ( turn the whole SQL Server Agent off), and then run that query on the database for which you want to fix the replication issue:
    EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time= 0, @reset = 1

  • Parse XMLFormatter log files back into LogRecords

    My app uses a java.util.logging.FileHandler and XMLFormatter to generate XML log files, which is great. Now I want to display those logs in my app's web admin console.
    I assumed that there would be an easy way to read my XML logs files back into a List of LogRecord objects, but my initial investigation has revealed nothing.
    Anyone have any advice?

    If you remove an "active" log file, then this can cause problems. If you remove an archieved log file, then it is OK.
    If you change the log directory, then you SHOULD inform all your applications that use this directory... Depending on the service, this information is usually stored inside the config files of the services.

    Hi Niladri,
    Please open a new discussion for this as it's a different question. Not only is this stated in the guidelines and makes it easier for other members to search for the right things, but it also increases your chances of getting the right answers, because users know you are looking at LSO rather than TEM and because many users, sadly, are driven by points primarily for giving answers and know you could not mark their answer as correct, because it's not your post.
    Please also give context info: which correspondence solution are you using (Smartforms, Adobe forms, SAPscript) and which version of LSO. 

  • I get the following error: Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers

    I get the error U44M1P7 Error log file location: /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers
    Does anyone have an idea what I need to do?  Thanks

    Did you ever find a solution? I am in sort of the same boat. I even had an Adobe rep try to help me. For some reason my Adobe App Manager does not work on my Macbook. It orginally did but one day it just would not launch. After numerous attempts of uninstalling and re-installing without success, the only workaround solution was to create another user on my Macbook and install the Application Manager on that user's account. I can then download the apps / programs and updates from there. When I log out of that user and back into my main account the Adobe programs work....well most of them. I have noticed that certain programs, like Muse will launch and work correctly under my second user account but it will not luanch without error on the main account.
    The fact that no one at Adobe seems to be able to provide a solution is frustraing. Everything worked fine one day, then its all messed up. Switching users is not an ideal solution at all.

  • How can I backup my files on an iPhone and iPad? I have a PC, not a MAC computer.

    I would like to backup the files on my iPhone and iPad. I usually back them up on a regular PC and external hard drive (a WD My Passport). I do not have a MAC computer.

  • How to restore the removed files back?

    Recently, in order to free up space of a WD external hard drive, I have removed some files. And I remember I have backed up them on another computer drive. However, yesterday, I found that these files were all missing from this computer
    drive. It was really strange.
    Is it possible for me to restore these removed files back? Any idea would be appreciated.

    Is there anyone that has used this computer drive before?
    Perhaps, there is some one that has accidentally deleted these files.
    OK! Don’t worry! In my opinion, you’d better not to use this drive right now and try to restore these files back by applying data recovery programs.
    To retrieve them back, you could ask for a professional service or also download a free data recovery tool. The former way could cost a lot.
    So, I suggest you to try a free data recovery program at first. There are many free data recovery programs available online, such as
    Recuva, Power Data recovery and iCare Data recovery Free, etc.
    Next time, you should never back up some important files only on one drive.
    Thank you for your listed data recovery freeware.
    Thanks a lot!

  • What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be

    What will happen when redo log file or archive log file, which is yet to be read by logminer is corrupted? It seems that the captures process hangs between “Paused for flow control” and “Enqueuing Messages”. How to come out of this condition without recreating the captures process?
    Any clue is helpful
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Basically you can't skip SCN since it will result in a data integrity issues (say you had skipped some inserts and later there will be some updates to a not replicated data).
    Streams maintain their own checkpoint tables with transaction related stuff. So there is no way you can jump over a range of SCN's without recreating capture.
    The only thing you can try - temporary give capture process a rule without any objects. But it will need to mine through the redo anyway.

  • Restore Backup control file doubt ?

    when restoring backup control file why we need to set the DBID first?
    Thankx..

    When using a recovery catalog and attempting to restore a lost control file, you encounter an error if there are other databases are registered in the recovery catalog with the same name as your target database. To resolve this error, you must uniquely identify the database by DBID for the restore operation. This requires determining the correct DBID for your database, and then using the SET DBID command to identify the target database before the RESTORE CONTROLFILE.

    my iphone 4 back side names and logo light how to change panel

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

  • Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    Hi, I am using my icloud on my iphone but am unable to find it on my mac book pro. It's not under my system preferences like it shows under the setup. Can I download it again? Or something. I just need to backup some files on my computer and am unable.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
      You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    I have deactivated my mobile me, switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Quit - or force quit - Aperture, if it is still trying to transfer MObile Me content.
    Then relaunch. When the "Mobile Me has ended" panel appears press the "Learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
    Then you should be able to open the Preferences in Aperture and and open the "Web" panel. Remove "Mobile Me" from the Accounts pane.
    Then also open the System preferences > Mobile Me panel and check if you are still signed into Mobile Me.
    If this does not work, try to disconnect from the Internet before you launch Aperture again.

  • Cansomeone please tell me what the simplest way is to backup your files from you Mac and then completely restore it back to when I first bought it? I do not want to download or purchase any software, and I would like to keep my important files-pics, music

    I just would like to completely reset my MAC. I dont want to have to download or purchase a software to download, and I dont quite understand what the time machine is supposed to do if you have not been told to use if before. Shouldn't mac have some type of in home software already installed? And how can I completely restore my mac back to its original system?

    1: Connect a external powered drive like a Firewire or USB drive. If you question the drive format or need to format it, first do that in Disk Utility before transfering any files to the drive. MSDOS, FAT32 or exFAT is best for any Windows or Mac to access the files.
    2: Transfer your files manually by dragging and dropping your Users Folders like Pictures, Movies, Documents and Music (do not use TimeMachine!!) Eject the drive and disconnect from the computer.
    3: Next insert the cd that came with your computer and reboot holding c
    4: Two screens in is a menu option called "Utilities" select Disk Utility.
    5: On the left is your internal boot drive, select it and Erase > Format HFS+ Journaled > Security Option > Zero All Data. Wait about a hour or so until it's finished.
    6: When it's done, quit and your back in the installer again, install OS X and when finished, shut down.
    The next time the computer reboots, it will go through the "welcome" video and the initial setup, just like a new Mac.

  • When upgrading from 10.7 to 10.8.2, are the system.log files backed up anywhere?

    One of my clients needs to confirm whether a USB device was plugged into their computer between two dates in September 2012 because they're worried some sensitive data may have been stolen.  However, their computers were upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8.2 on the 29th of November 2012, and since the kernel.log and system.log files have now been combined in this update, it has obviously created a new file in the new format.  Sadly, this has only come to light now, and there appear to be no backups of the whole drive from before this date.
    Does anyone know if the 10.7 logfiles would have been preserved anywhere during the upgrade, or are they lost for good?

    No, the merging operation deletes the old files during upgrading the OS X.  Have you tried searching even hidden files starting at the root level so see if anything has been hidden away somewhere?  I haven't seen the upgrade do that but if this is really important it may be worth the effort.
