RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore

RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile n found to restore

Hi,
on 11g R2 , Win 2008, I try to duplicate by RMAN NOCATALOG.
In init.ora of auxiliary I have :
init.ora
db_file_name_convert=('m:\base\OLDDB\data','m:\base\NEWDB\data')
log_file_name_convert=('m:\base\OLDDB\log', 'm:\base\NEWDB\log') 1- when duplicating RMAN displays :
set newname for datafile 109 to
"M:\BASES\OLDDB\DATA\EOIUAPP.DBF";; but for me reverse is expected since M:\BASES\OLDDB\DATA\EOIUAPP.DBF is the ancient/old name.
2-RMAN displays :
channel ORA_AUX_DISK_1: restoring datafile 00041 to M:\BASES\OLDDB\DATA\EOIUAPP.DBF But again the datafile should be restored to 'm:\base\NEWDB\data'.
And also:

I'm getting the above error when trying to create a duplicate database on the same server.
Steps
1) Create backup.

include current controlfile;
2) Restore / Duplicate

anyone can help?

use format command with backup.
eg:-
backup as compressed backupset database format '/u01/db/backup/%d_%I_%s_%T';
if it is archivelog mode then
backup as compressed backupset database format '/u01/db/backup/%d_%I_%s_%T' plus archivelog format '/u01/db/backup/%d_%I_%s_%T';
then copy the backup to the auxiliary instance server.
then try again the duplicate command.

Hi,
Can you please make sure the restore mechanism you are following is correct or not?
Mechanics of Restore Operations
RMAN automates the procedure for restoring files. You do not need to go into the operating system, locate the backup that you want to use, and manually copy files into the appropriate directories. When you issue a RESTORE command, RMAN directs a server session to restore the correct backups to either:
* The default location, overwriting the files with the same name currently there
* A new location, which you can specify with the SET NEWNAME command
To restore a datafile, either mount the database or keep it open and take the datafile to be restored offline. When RMAN performs a restore, it creates the restored files as datafile image copies and records them in the repository.

I am setting up an iPhone 5. I selected "set up as a new phone" but now need to restore from iTunes back up. How do I access the appropriate screen in the iPhone 5 which I am setting up?

The phone answered this for me - when I connected the iPhone5 to my computer it gave me a choice which included "restore from backup". Problem solved

Installed new harddrive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
you have a couple of options:
Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Restore - filename for datafile is missing in the control file

I am practicing RMAN recovery procedures and I encountered a problem that I do not know how to solve.
1) I took a hot backup of my test database.
2) Create tablespace TS_DATA_TEMP
3) Deleted tablespace TS_DATA which had 2 datafiles
4) Created tablespace TS_DATA with 1 datafile
5) shutdown database
6) logged into RMAN in nomount
7) restore controlfile from autobackup;
8) alter database mount;
9) restore database;
RMAN> restore database;

So i'm not sure what the problem is. Datafile TS_DATA.dbf is located in the control file but i'm getting the error: the filename for datafile 5 is missing in the control file.
Suggestions on what's wrong with the control file?

I found my mistake; a newbie error.
I did not know I needed to include in my restore command the 'until' option when doing incomplete recovery. I only included the 'until' option in the recover command:
original command
restore database;
recover database until sequence =123;
should be
restore database until sequence = 123;
recover database until sequence =123;
I usually run the command using a RUN block with a SET UNTIL SEQUENCE but this case I used the single commands separately.
RUN
+{+
SET UNTIL sequence 123;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
+}+

I can only backup the datafiles but not the control files and SPFiles

Hello, all,
I am using the Oracle 10g on a linux server which runs redhat 9. I want to backup the whole database to the disk, but not the flash recovery area. It is /rawdata. I will show how I configure the backup part in EM. Is there anything wrong?
1. the ARCHIVELOG is on
2. under Administration, in the All Initialization Parameters, I remove the string value of “log_archive_dest_1”. After that, I go to the SPFile and remove the string value of “log_archive_dest_1”
3. configure backup settings and policies. The Disk Backup Location field is set to /rawdata. Select Image Copy for Disk Backup type. Test Disk backup is successful.
4. go to Policy page. Select “Automatically backup the control file and server parameter file (SPFile) with every backup and database structural change.) input /rawdata into the filed: Autobackup Disk Location
Select “Optimize the whole database backup by skipping unchanged files such as read-only and offline datafiles that have been backed up”
Select “Retain backups that are necessary for a recovery to any time whin the specified number of days (point-in-time recovery)
Accept the default of 31days
5. go to Schedul Backup
6. select customized from the backup Strategy drop-down menu. Select the Whole Database
7. in the Options page, select “Full backup” in the Backup Type section. Select “Online Backup” in the Backup Mode section. Select “back up all archived logs on disk” in the Advanced section.
8. in the Setting page, select “Disk”
9. in the Schedule page, accept the default job name and description. Select Immediately to execute the job immediately.
10. just submit the job.
After several minutes, the job is failed while the Prebackup and Postbackup are succeeded. The log says:

It seems the system tries to find a file “arch_D-ORCL10G_id-770753237_S-1062_T-1_A-586368151_cqhvf270” in /rawdata. I just can not understand.
What should I do? Any advice is highly appreciated!

the string value in the field of 'log_archive_dest_1" under "All Initialization parameters" is "LOCATION=+DATADG/orcl10g/". The same value was in the field under SPFile.
I reset these values and tried to backup the whole database. The same error appeared. The log says:

Why the system keeps trying to find files under /rawdata? It is the destination, not the source.
Any help is appreciated!

RMAN only backing up 2 out of 3 control files

Hi, I have noticed my RMAN backup only backs up 2 of the 3 control files I have defined for my database.
Is this normal behaviour for RMAN ( since it only needs the 2 and effectively can create others from them ).
I don't see any errors in relation to the backup
I am using 11gR2. When I go into OEM Db Control and look at AVAILABILITY - MANAGE CURRENT BACKUPS I see 3 entries,
2 for the Control Files and 1 for the database files. Yet my database uses 3 control files !
Can anyone explain this please ?

Can anyone explain this please ?Actually RMAN backs up only one control file. You have three "multiplexed" and "same" controlfiles. If you want proof, delete them all except one, change CONTROL_FILES parameter in initialization file and start the db. It will start.

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

How can I move a pdf file from my pc to my ipad without overwriting all the pdf files in my ipad?

How can I move a single pdf file from my pc to my ipad without overwriting all the pdf files already in my ipad?
