Restoring archive log after cold backup
Hello forums users,
I read many thing on this topic but I didn't find the good answer.
I performed a cold backup each sunday.
My database is in ARCHIVE LOG mode.
Is it possible to restore ARCHIVE LOG files after restoring COLD backup?
Sunday : cold backup
Monday : new archive log have been created since cold backup
Tuesday : same as Monday
Wednesday : I would like to restore to Monday 22:00 for example
Can I restore cold backup + apply archive log until Monday 22:00 ?
Regards,
Guillaume
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel|time|logseq|scn
will do this and prompt you for the archivelogs.

RMAN not able to restore archive logs from net backup
Hello Everybody,
While trying to restore a datafile and then recover the database, RMAN failed with the following error stack.
RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 12/05/2007 09:19:24
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece arch-s110-p1
ORA-19615: some files not found in backup set

ORA-19614: archivelog thread 1 sequence 229 not found in backup set
But when I do a crosscheck the status is shown as Available. We are using net backup as MML.
Could you please suggest any alternatives to solve this issue.

To clear db2 archive log after db2 database backup
After db2 backup archive log remains as it is.is there setting to remove archive logs after database backup.DAS is not installed.
DB2 9.1 FP 6
os HP unixHello Anand,
If the archvied logs are not required, ie they are not required for restore
you can remove them.
You can check this is by running
db2 list history all for db <sid>
The above command will give you a detailed overview of the backup
history and what logs were archived and what logs were included or needed for restore of backups.
If they are no longer needed for a restore, then it is safe to remove them.
Kind regards,

Hi gurus,
I'm in a question, How to restore archive logs backuped?
Scene:
1- We backup the archive logs each hour.
2- We backup the database in a cold backup.
3- We restore the database in another machine.
4- We want to apply this archives in the database restored.
We already do:
1- Restore the archive logs in a temp directory;
2- Shutdown the application
3- Startup Mount
4- rman nocatalog target /
Possibilities already do:
5- Run the command:
RUN {
SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION to '/oracle/PRD/saparch';
RESTORE ARCHIVELOG FROM SEQUENCE 52939 UNTIL SEQUENCE 53333;
OR
RESTORE DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('2011-09-06:15:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS')";
RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('2011-09-06:12:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS')";
OR
RUN
SET ARCHIVELOG DESTINATION TO '/oracle/PRD/saparch';
RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
To test if this procedure were correct, we got the total entries of a table in production database.
After this procedures, we check a total entries of a table in database restored and the entries isn't equal a production database.
Could you help us?
Thanks,
Denis

RMAN9I HOW TO RESTORE ARCHIVE LOGS WITH LIMITED DISK SPACE
제품 : RMAN
작성날짜 : 2002-12-09
RMAN9I HOW TO RESTORE ARCHIVE LOGS WITH LIMITED DISK SPACE
==========================================================
PURPOSE
이 자료는 Oracle 9.2 이상의 RMAN에서 사용 가능한 MAXSIZE 기능에 대하여
설명할 것이다.
How to restore archive logs with limited disk space
Old Backup을 사용하여 RMAN으로 database를 recvoery할때, 모든 archived
redo logfile들을 Restore할 destination의 disk space가 모자란 경우를 종종 만난다.
이러한 경우 여러 개의 restore and recovery job으로 나누어 수행한다.
즉, 첫 번째 restore and recovery job이 끝나면 archived redo logfile들을 지우고
다음 적용될 것들을 restore한다. 그리고 다시 Recovery를 수행한다. 이러한 작업을
원하는 시점까지 recovery를 하기위해 반복적으로 수행한다.
Oracle 9iR2(9.2.0.x)부터 RMAN은 MAXSIZE option을 제공하는데 이것은 archive log
file이 restore될 disk의 space를 control할 수 있게 해 준다.
만약 disk space가 매우 제한적이라면, 즉 예를 들어 모든 archive log의 size 합보다
disk free space가 적다면 MAXSIZE option을 사용하는 것은 매우 유용하다.
이 OPTION이 기술되면 RMAN은 Media Manager에게 disk space 크기에 부합하는 만큼만
archive log들을 restore하도록 한다. 부가적인 restore operation들은 restore된
마지막 archive log가 적용될 때마다 발생한다.
MAXSIZE option은 이러한 작업들을 하나의 rman job으로 처리하게 해 주고
실수를 하지 않게 해 준다.
아래는 MAXSIZE를 설명하기 위한 예제이며 총 6 단계로 구성되어 있다.
STEP 1: Add data to the database to enforce log switches
STEP 2: Backup the database and archive logs and delete the logs
STEP 3: Add additional data to enforce new log switches
STEP 4: Remove the data file and simulate a database crash
STEP 5: Restore the data file from the backup
STEP 6: Recover the database using MAXSIZE
위 예제는 Unix와 Windows 모두에 적용될 수 있다.
STEP 6 는 다음과 같은 조건으로 두 번 수행될 것이다.
1) MAXSIZE가 archive log size보다 작은 경우:
이 경우 RMAN-6558 Error message를 만나게 된다.
그러므로 MAXSIZE를 archive log보다는 크게 설정해야한다.
2) MAXSIZE가 archive log size보다 큰 경우:
예를 들어 여러 개의 archive log를 포함할 수 있을 정도로 크게 설정하면
restore/recovery는 user에게 transparent하게 수행되어진다.
즉 archive log들은 restore된 후 applied되고 deleted되어 진다. 다시 새로운
archive log들이 restore되어지고 applied된 후 deleted 되어 진다. 이러한 작업은
recovery가 끝날 때까지 반복되어진다. 이러한 작업들이 진행되는 동안 RMAN은
아무런 Message도 발생시키지 않는다.
# Step 1: INSERT enough new data to generate log switches
create table rman_tst (col1 varchar2 (10));
begin
for i in 1..30000 loop
insert into rman_tst values(i,'test');
commit;
end loop;
end;
# Step 2: BACKUP the database and the archive logs automatically
# and then delete the input
run {
backup database format='/web01/usupport/krosenme/admin/backups/db_%d%s%t'
plus archivelog format='/web01/usupport/krosenme/admin/backups/arch_%d%s%t'
delete input;
# Step 3: INSERT enough new data to generate new log switches
begin
for i in 1..30000 loop
insert into rman_tst values(i,'test');
commit;
end loop;
end;
# Step 4: REMOVE users01.dbf file and crash the database
mv users01.dbf users01.org
shutdown abort
# Restore is now needed as the data file is deleted. The backup was
# taken before the new data was added to it, thus archive logs are
# needed to bring the database up to date
# Step 5: RESTORE the data file from the full backup
run {
restore datafile '/web01/usupport/krosenme/oradata/kro_920/users01.dbf';
# Step 6: RECOVER
run {
recover database delete archivelog maxsize 10 K;
# This will fail with RMAN-6558 as the archived log has a size of 16 KB,
# which is bigger than MAXSIZE limit of 10 KB. So the error is expected
# and MAXSIZE works as designed.
# Now rerunning STEP 6: but with MAXSIZE 50 K
run {
recover database delete archivelog maxsize 50 K;

Recovery Manager Reference, Release 2 (9.2)cold backup means offline backup, you shut database normally and copy datafiles to another location.
i think operating system does not matter that much but it is RedHat Linux Enterprise Server.
backing up archivelogs whith rman script which is:
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk format '$BKUPLOC/arch_%d_%u_%s_%p.bkp';
change archivelog all validate;
sql 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
backup archivelog time between 'SYSDATE - (30*60/(60*60*24))' and 'sysdate';
release channel c1;
so here is the details.
1. because everything is lost, we restored all files(datafiles, controlfiles, redologs etc) from offline backup meaning copied all files from another location to corresponding location.
2. want to apply archive logs which were created after cold backup till disk failure and we have these archive logs with backups which were taken by rman.
So
first of all, we want to register these archive log rman backups(because these backup information does not exist in restored controlfile)
and then restore them and then apply them.
we need rman commands to register these backups and restore them.

How to restore archive logs with rman
Hi,
here is the scenario:
we have lost everything because of disk failure.
we have a full cold backup and archivelog backups which were created after cold backup and were backed up with rman.
after restoring from cold backup, because archivelog backups do not exist in controlfile, how can we catalog archivelog backups and restore them?
could you give me the exact rman command for this?

RMAN: How to apply Archive Logs after recoverying of all physical files
Hi;
I am using RMAN Oracle10g; my test database has being corrupted. I have already taken 0 level backup through this command
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0 tag = Test_Weekly_database format 'O:\rman\backup\Full_Weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t'(database);
release channel c1;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to 'O:\rman\backup\Auto_Ctrl_weekly_%F';
allocate channel c1 type disk;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
BACKUP tag = Test_Weekly_Arch ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7' format 'O:\rman\backup\Archive_weekly_%d_%s_%p_%t';
DELETE ARCHIVELOG UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-7';
release channel c1;
After backing up I inserted few records in TEST123 table. And switch current log file.
Then my database has been corrupted. Now I have last 0 level backup (RMAN) and archive logs files on OS level.
I am recovering my database with the following commands; but archive logs have not being applied. And my inserted records were not presented in TEST123 table.
Kindly guide me

Archive Log vs Full Backup Concept
Hi,
I just need some clarification on how backups and archive logs work. Lets say starting at 1PM I have archive logs 1,2,3,4,5 and then I perform a full backup at 6PM.
Then I resume generating archive logs at 6PM to get logs 6,7,8,9,10. I then stop at 11PM.
If my understanding is correct, the archive logs should allow me to restore oracle to a point in time anywhere between 1PM and 11PM. But if I only have the full backup then I can only restore to a single point, which is 6PM. Is my understanding correct?
Do the archive logs only get applied to the datafiles when the backup occurs or only when a restore occurs? It doesn't seem like the archive logs get applied on the fly.

Thanks for the great explanation! So I can do a point in time restore from any time since the datafiles have last been written (or from when I have the last set of backed up datafiles plus the archive logs). From what you are saying, I can force the datafiles to be written from the redo logs (by doing a checkpoint with "alter set archive log current" or "backup database plus archivelog"), and then I can delete all the archive logs that have a SCN less than the checkpoint SCN on the datafiles. Is this true? This would be for the purposes of preserving disk space.Hi,
See this example. I hope this explain your doubt.

Restore archive log which were not backed up
Hi experts,
as per understandings, after the creation of database the scn will starts from 1 and it grows sequentially,
1)i have not taken any backup until today.
2) i deleted all the archivelogs, but i have database alive
3) taken a full backup.
so i tried to restore from scn 100 to 200.
restore archivelog from scn 100 until scn 200;error:
RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archivelog in recovery cataloag
now my scn is 504575
is it possible to restore archive log from 100 scn to 200 scn?
Thanks & Best Regards.
appriciated for the right answers.784585 wrote:
Hi,
iam not using any STANDBY database..But earlier you said "see if any case accidently missed archives are deleted, those archives need to apply in standby, so what can we do?"
So of course people thought you were trying to sync up a standby ...
i want to generate all the archives from the scratch of the database..
my question is , database SCN will start from 1, so all the database has information from 1 to end...so why cant we take backup again as archives from database?This is pretty basic. You cannot recover from a backup you do not have. You've already said
1)i have not taken any backup until today.
2) i deleted all the archivelogs, but i have database aliveSo with no backup and no archive log, what would expect to recover from?
OK, here's how it works.
As changes are made to the database, a record of the change is written to a memory (not disk) structure called the "redo log buffer". When a transaction is committed the redo log buffer is written to the online redo log file. You must have a minimum of two online redo log files. This online redo log file is of fixed size. When it is full, the process of writing to it switched to the other (or next, if you have more than two). When an online redo log file is filled, and writing of redo info is switched to the next file, the filled file is copied to a NEW archived log file. After going through all the online redo logs in this round-robin fashion, it will come back to the first and start overwriting its previous contents. The archived log files are given unique names so that they are not over written but instead generate a constant stream of new archivelogs. It is these archive log files that contain all of your redo info that pre-dates the oldest info remaining in the online redo logs.
In a recovery operation, the following happens
first, the database files are restored from backup, starting with the newest full backup that meets your recovery needs, then following with all incremental backups after that. You said you have no backups prior to today.
Second, after the files are restored from backups (which you said you don't have) additional redo information is applied to get the changes since the most recent full or incremental backup that was restored. This additional info comes from the archivelog files, which you said you didn't back up and apparently you deleted.
So, you've said you have no database backup and no archivlogs either backed up or original. So from where do you expect to be able to recover this information? -

MDM 7.1 not start after cold backup
Hi
after cold backup the MDM 7.1 not make mount the the repository
the sap is up the DB is up only the MDM not mount
it's a cold backup

the server is win x64
need your help what i need to check?
regards
Naor ShalomHI Naor,
Do one thing,assign a password to the user and pass that password or pass "sapmdm" as password for Admin (default password).With SAP MDM 7.1 there is no blank password and such users wont work.
Also for your reference please go through http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80765a21-78f3-2b10-74a2-dc2ab57a1bd2?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Let me know your findings.

Applying Archive logs after restore by RMAN
We user RMAN for our backup. I wanted to restore the database and apply all the archive logs.
After I use
RMAN> Restore database ( from last night backup)
RMAN> Recover database
And now I want to apply all the archive logs from which were generated from last night backup say 11:00 pm till 10:00 am today morning.
How can I apply the archive logs.
ThanksI have the RMAN backup on tape , and I have the archive logs on the disk , as the archive logs would be backed up only the following night.
i.e i want to restore a 10th night backup , and apply the logs from 10th night 11:00 pm to 10:00 am 11th morning. As the archive logs would still be on the disk , how can I apply them..
Thanks -
How to backup the archived log after a crosscheck .
Hi all,
Here is the scenario:
My archive area got full, I moved some archived logs to another destination. My main script to backup archive log raised a error informing that some files were missing, so I issued a crosscheck archivelog all command.
I realized that I did something insane and is there any way to fix it? I mean, how could I backup the missed sequence? Because I'll need to send them to a tape and also register the files in the RMAN's catalog.
Regards and thanks in advance,

Recovery window retention policy deletes archive logs before a backup?
Hi All,
Oracle 11G on Windows 2008 R2
This afternoon, I changed my RMAN retention policy from 'RETENTION POLICY REDUNDANCY 3' to RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS'
However, i checked tonight and after my daily backup ran, all the archive logs prior to the backup had been deleted! Thus meaning i dont think i can restore to any point in time, prior to my daily backup. All the .arc logs were there after the backup. So i tried another test and kicked off the daily backup again. During the backup process, the archive logs got deleted again! Now i don't have any archive logs..
Is this proper behaviour of RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW?? I thought it would keep all the files needed for me to restore to any point in time for the previous 3 days. When i used REDUNDANCY, with my daily backups, it kept 3 days worth of backups+ archive logs so i could restore point-in-time to any point. How can i use RECOVERY WINDOW so that i can actually restore to any point-in-time for the 3 days??
I wanted to change to RECOVERY WINDOW since i read that by using REDUNDANCY it only keeps X copies of a backup (so if i ran the backup 3 times in a day, i would only have those 3).
Thanks in advance.Hi All,

A Group of Archive Logs Will Not Backup
I restored a database to a different server, and while that was happening I copied some logarchives out of the production logarchive directory. After the restore completed, but before I put those logarchives back into that directory, I ran CHANGE ARCHIVELOG ALL CROSSCHECK on the production server to sync the catalog with the database. That was a mistake to do that yet. I then put the logarchives back into the production logarchive directory and tried to run a logarchive backup. I should have put these files back before running crosscheck. Now I receive this error:
RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20242: specification does not match any archive log in the recovery catalog
How can I backup these production logarchives that I copied back into the logarchive directory?
Thank you.Database version? To know that makes it easier to advice, because since RMAN was introduced in 8.0 there were some changes.
In 10g and higher use 'catalog archivelog...'.
