RESTORE TABLESPACE

Hi,
We have our EUL set up and working fine until last week. Today I received a call from the user saying that they are unable to open any workbooks, complaining that it has lost the joins.
Upon investigation found that, these workbooks are built upon a couple of complex folders and when looked into the EUL found that these Complex Folders are DISAPPEARED.
I know my database is in Archive Log mode and the EUL owner is in USERS tablespace. I do not know at what point these folders disappeared. And we do not have a back-up of the EUL.
Can somebody plz suggest how to restore the EUL schema from the tablespace. I am thinking of going back to a week for restoring the tablespace.
Env: Oracle 10.2
Many Thanks
MK

Hi M_K!
There are two posible solutions for your problem.
1.) If you have a testing DB try recovery back some days (2 or 3) and look for the lost schema. If you can bring it back on this way do the recovery on your production system.
2.) If you don't want to recover aimlessly back in time then log miner will be your best friend. Do you know about log miner? If not, log miner is a tool for checking through your archive logs and read all the Redorecords. On this way you can estimate the time when your EUL got lost.
Hope this helps!

Backup/restore tablespaces in noarchivelog mode

In our office there is a oracle 10g box that's used for testing purposes.
It's only got 1 database, but each user has their own tablespace.
As it's not a 'live' box, archivelog and flashrecovery have been disabled by the dba probably in favour of speed.
I have a NUnit test suit that runs across a tablespace, and I am trying to restore the tablespace before each run.
In noarchivelog mode, RMAN allows me to take the tablespace offline, and create a backup - so far so good.
Later on, I am able to take the tablespace offline again, and issue a "RESTORE TABLESPACE" command.
But then I cannot bring the tablespace online without issuing a "RECOVER" command.
I have tried the NOREDO option but it still says that the file needs a media recovery before it can be brought online.
Is there a way to bring the tablespace online without applying the REDO logs ?
Or is tablespace backup/restore not possible because of noarchivelog ?
Thanks.

I tried the TTS method, and it was only marginally quicker than a data_only impdp.
I suspect this is due to the nature of a fresh nunit test database, where the metadata (huge tables structure, stored proc, etc) is often larger than the table contents itself.
In the grand scheme of things it might even end up slower, as i need to drop the tablespace including contents if i want to use TTS to load up the backed up dbf.
From the comments I'm guessing that there's no way of just updating the timestamp of the tablespace without applying the REDO logs then ?
I've tested other methods as well.
Flash recovery could only work on a table or db level, I can't take the db offline as there are other users on it with their own tablespace/schemas. (it was an old dev's box, we're reusing what we can)
impdb with the truncate and data_only flag seems to be the only viable option so far, with TTS up for consideration.

Restore tablespace from sbt_tape

Hi
by using list backup command I see that all the backups are in sbt_tape.
If I type
restore tablespace a;
Does ıt restore ıt dırectly from the tape into the database or do I have to take ıt from the sbt_tape manually on to the disk and restore ıt.

If you would have read the documentation (which, by default, and already for many months, you refuse to do), you would have noticed you need to configure a channel to the tape device, with proper parameters.
In that case you would have issued
restore tablespace ...
The other alternative doesn't exist, and shows that even after asking a plethora of doc questions, about RMAN, you still don't seem to understand anything of it.
Isn't it time you start reading those manuals?

Restore Tablespace incremental backup is not work as after reimage oracle

TheTablespace incremental backup Restore is not work as after reimage the oracle database or restore tablespace in standby machine(another machine) is not working .its working in the same machine without reimage .after reimage not working please clarify me ,
I need the solution as soon as please reply as soon as .
Commnads used:
This is the step is followed but i am getting backup or control file not found error.Its works i the application server is not reimaged ;
please give your valuable suggestion .
Product Used:oracle 11g in linux environmnet
1)Before taking backup get SCN number for restore.
Command applied: Select current_scn from v$database;
2)running Full backup of database
Command applied:
configure controlfile autobackup on;
backup database plus archivelog;

3)Running level 0 incremental backup
Before taking backup get SCN number for restore.

3) Running level 1 incremental backup
Before taking backup get SCN number for restore.

please calrfiy my following question:
1. After reimage(reinstall oracle database with application ).The aboove scenario is not working
2. After fullbackup what are the files needs to copy from (opt/oraclle/base/flash_recovery_area/dbname/) to repository because daily cleanup script will keep the data as sysdate -1 .
For fullbacckup we are currently copying entire (flash_recovery_area/dbname) database folder to repoistory.
3. after incremental backup what are the files needs to copy from (opt/oraclle/base/flash_recovery_area/dbname/..) to repository because daily cleanup script will keep the data as sysdate -1
For incremenatl backup currently we are copying (flash_recovery_area/dbname/backupset/<currentdate> and flash_recovery_area/dbname/autobackup/<currentdate>) folder to repoistory.
4.During restore we are copy entire things from repository to flash_recovery_area finaly apply the above mentioned restore command.
Tabelspace incremenatl restore is possible after reimage application server(fresh database)/another server with same database(standby machine) ....?
If we missing something in backup side please clarify me how to retore the tablespace incremental / level 0 tablespacae after reinstallion of server/another standby server.
Any information please let me know .I need the solution as soon as please reply as soon as .

Try the Recovery Manager (RMAN) instead. This forum is for feedback about the 11g XE Beta.

How to restore TABLESPACE not in backup set?

I was playing with RMAN on one of my test databases. Here's what I did.
1) Performed full backup on an ARCHIVELOG enabled database
2) I created a table space named TBLSP
3) shutdown the database
4) Corrupted the only data file in TBLSP
5) startup
As you all guessed database won't open. I was pretty sure that if I restore last full backup and roll archive logs forward, I would be able to recover my corrupted tablespace.
6) rman target /
7) restore datafile 'D:\oracle\oradata\training\tmptbl01.dbf';
8) I get
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 14 found to restore
9) Then I tried following and both worked(?) fine.
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('09/04/2006 12:20:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS')";
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('09/04/2006 12:20:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS')";
10) Now I can do ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Database is opened but I lost tblsp tablespace. What should I do to recover corrupted tablespace until its last consistent state.
Thanks...

From the error you received, I would assume you are not on 10g?
If you are on 10g, once you determine the tablespace containing the corrupted datafile, you could rename the datafile on the file system and issue the following in RMAN:
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore tablespace tblsp;
RMAN> recover tablespace tblsp;
RMAN> alter database open;or
RMAN> startup mount;
RMAN> restore datafile <corrupt_datafile_#>;
RMAN> recover datafile <corrupt_datafile_#>;
RMAN> alter database open;

Restore tablespace in RMAN is not working

Friends,
OS: RHEL AS 3.0
DB: 9iR2
New to RMAN
I am testing RMAN in our R&D server.
I just deleted one table in scott which is in the users tablespace.
then i went to rman.
SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE users OFFLINE IMMEDIATE';
RESTORE TABLESPACE users;
RECOVER TABLESPACE users;
SQL 'ALTER TABLESPACE users ONLINE';
after that, i logged in to sqlplus as scott.
but i didnt find the table which i deleted.
I know i can restore the table by point in time recovery using SCN.
but why the above rman command is not working?
where im making mistake?
thanks

Hi there,
This wont work as the recovery you tried and did was a "complete recovery".The dropped table will come back with an "incomplete recovery".You just restored the datafile from the backup.Table drop is not an "error".You wanted it to happen , you did that.Its not an error for oracle.So you need to do "incomplete recovery".
I guess following might be useful for you.yo u need to recover till the time when the table was existing and you will lose data beyond that point.so thats why it is called incomplete recovery.

Backing up and restoring tablespaces with RMAN

We have some tables that we want to backup and other tables that we don't.
We are separating these tables by tablespaces and schema.
SchemaA uses tablespaceA
SchemaB uses tablespacesB
We are also backing up
sys
sysaux
undo
tablespaces.
Lets say we lose our tablespaces and do a restore. I am assuming that all my stored procedures can be restored no matter which schema I save them in. even if I save them in a schema that has a default tablespace that is not being backed up because the code in is in the System tablespace.
Is my assumption correct?

Here the key concept is Mean Time To Recover(MTTR), usually it is faster and easier to use an export backup file for this purpose, but this doesn't mean RMAN is bad :) RMAN was, is and will be the best practice for Oracle's B&R.
Still you may assist your RMAN backup with a daily norows export backup and also maybe a file system backup depending on your environment and application's need. Backup's backup do not harm :)

Can rman restore tablespace to a different tablespace name?

Hi all,
I was wondering that can RMAN restore a tablespace to a different name tablespace in the same instance? I have the full backup by RMAN, I wonder I can do that or not? Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Rich,

Hi,
a tablespace is not necessarily a logical space to separate schema objects from one another (could be, but not necessarily, depends on your object distribution).
So what you need is: export your original user schema with the exp utility
then import this dump into another user schema with the imp tool (fromuser=old touser=new)
BEFORE you create the new user and you give it a different default tablespace. If you like to really separate the objects in tablespaces (like for transportable tablespaces) you may deny access to any of the tablespaces of old user to the new user. That makes sure data is not erroneously loaded in the old tablespaces.
Read the docs to understand this clearly if you like.

RMAN Restore tablespace across LPAR's

My Oracle revision is 10.2.0.4
I have a full backup of a Production database and I want to restore just ONE tablespace from the backupset to another database instance on a different LPAR. I have read the documentation on creating and updataing duplicate databases with RMAN but havent found if I can just restore one tablespace/datafile to another instance.
Help!!

You can try to use RMAN DUPLICATE with the SKIP TABLESPACE clause to skip all application tablespaces except the one you really want to restore:
>
SKIP TABLESPACE 'tablespace_name'
Excludes the specified tablespace from the duplicate database. Note that you cannot exclude the SYSTEM tablespace, undo tablespaces, and tablespaces with rollback segments.
>
(From http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta028.htm#RCMRF126).
From the duplicated database you should be able to transport the tablespace to the right database.

Edited by: user13748341 on 14-jun-2011 6:52You RESTORE the files from the backup of those files
You RECOVER the files to a point in time from the archivelogs since the backup from which you restored.
Go to tahiti.oracle.com and spend some time in the Backup and Recovery manuals to get clear on the concept of "backup", "recover", and "restore".

Restoring Tablespace in different location from the original location

Dear Experts
We are doing an Restoing of production database in to an another server. where the production database runs on Windows and the sap directories has been stored in 6 drives but in the second servder which has only 3 drives but high capacity. we want to restore the files from the production database (hich will have the drive reference ) to the new server ( which has 3 drives only) by referring only the sap directories so that it is safe to pull the data
in brrestore how the comman / syntax should be?
could any one guide us
regards
bala

Hi,
You will have to follow a redirected restore procedure for oracle rather than a normal restore.
For this you will have to do the following:
1. Take a full offline backup or an online consistent backup of your production database.
2. Backup control file to trace on your production server.
3. Display the back<SID>.log summary log in production and identify the u2018affu2019 or 'anf' file that was created for the production backup.
4. Copy the back<SID>.log and .aff/.anf files to the sapbackup directory of quality.
5. Now use the brrestore redirected option:
brrestore -m all,<source drive 1>=<target drive 1>,<source drive 2>= <target drive 2> -b <file-id>.aff
This performs a redirection of the file during brrestore operation.
6. Manipulate the control file trace you created above and change the drives accordingly. Rename it to control.sql
7. Then do the following:
>sqlplus /nolog
>connect / as sysdba
>@c:\control.sql
>shutdown immediate
>startup mount
>recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
The recover part is only required if you have used a online backup.
Hope this helps.

Restore tablespace using DBF file & structure export

Hi,
we've dropped our testing database - USER & TABLESPACE. We don't have any backup (nor control file), just .DBF file and older export (emty tables, same structure).
Is any possibility to recover dropped data?

Which .dbf files do you have and are they from a cold backup? If you have all the .dbf files, you could recreate the control file and recover your data.

Restore tablespace with indexes.

Hi
I ve lost a directory with some datafiles inside, these datafiles contained only indexes, we don't have any backup cause it was a develoment database, now I've created another tablespace and I'm trying to rebuild the indexes but it returns this message.
Alter index USR_CCONTROL.SYS_C008164 rebuild
TABLESPACE TS_CCONTROL_NDX2;
ORA-00376: file 2 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01111: name for data file 2 is unknown - rename to correct file
ORA-01110: data file 2: '/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/MISSING00002'
What could I do please.
Thanks

Well
What I did was to disable all primary key indexes that were inside the damage tablespace, after that I had to drop the indexes (1322) and recreate them on the new tablespace. Then take offline drop the damage tablespaces.
DROP INDEX USR_OPCOM.PK_OPC_CANON_AGUA;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX USR_OPCOM.PK_OPC_CANON_AGUA ON USR_OPCOM.OPC_CANON_AGUA
(CODIGO_CANON_AGUA)
LOGGING
TABLESPACE TS_OPCOM_NDX2
NOPARALLEL;
I don't know if it was the better to do but now the database is open and running.
Thanks
