RMAN for Express DB

Hi
Is there a special reason that rman is available on the linux beta and not on the windows beta?
Is there a plan that the rman executables are also available on the final release?
Regards
Stefan

I too would be interested to hear if RMAN is planned for the Windows production release.
We use it to manage disk space taken up by archive logging. Our customers typically would let their disks fill and the database hang rather than have to setup some OS copying / deletion of archive logs. It is only with rman that we have had the confidence to enable archive logging on customer installations. It is my belief that archive logging and recovery through rman has prevented us from having to recreate a production database on several occasions. One customer even managed to recover their undo tablespace from a total loss of that datafile due to RAID failure.
I would hope that if XE is intended for any production environment this feature is considered a necessity.
With rman it is also much simpler to implement a highly available database when compared with offlining tablespaces for backup. Without this capability how can high availability scripts be developed on XE - even if developed for SE(1)/EE?

Configuring rman for dataguard environment.

Hi all,
Here we have a dataguard environment with db1 as primary and db2 as physical standby database. We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. Can anyone provide the steps for configuring rman for incremental backups in this environment? We want to schedule the backups to be taken in standby db, (that is applicable in case of swithover too). In the case of swithover to db2 what all do we need to do in rman manually to resume backups in db1?
Thanks

Hello;
A Standby database is a copy of the Primary so if you try to register it RMAN will probably tell you its already registered. I would start with this :
Standby based backup
1. Enable auto backup of the control file and server parameter file. CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON.
2. Skip backups on datafiles already backup. CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION.
3. Set the archive deletion policy. CONFIGURE DELETION POLICY TO NONE.
You have to decide on the exact RMAN script you want to use, but since the database is registered you can perform backup on either the Primary or the Standby as the need arises.

Configuring RMAN for dataguard.

Hi all,
Here we have a dataguard environment with db1(db_unique_name) as primary and db2(db_unique_name) as physical standby database. For both primary and secondary the ORACLE_SID is 'oracledb'.We configured dataguard in 10g environments and we are not using grid control. And now we want to configure rman for incremental backups. We are using a third catalog database to which we registered from primary db successfully. During primary rman configuration it is showing conflicts. Even the changes made in primary RMAN configuration are applied on to the standby too which i think shouldn't happen in this scenario. How to resolve this issue? Is this happening because of the same ORACLE_SID for both primary and secondary? I'm attaching the link of the doc that we followed also the errors and configuration in rman. Can anyone help?

hi
what is SBT here?
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 3;
Channel Connections to Cluster Instances with RMAN
Channel connections to the instances are determined
using the connect string defined by channel configurations.
For example, in the following configuration, three channels are allocated using dbauser/pwd@service_name. If you configure the SQL Net service name with load balancing turned on, then the channels are allocated at a node as decided by the load balancing algorithm.
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 3;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO sbt;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE SBT CONNECT 'dbauser/pwd@service_name'Edited by: nisha on Jun 6, 2011 12:27 AM

Difference between LTS and lT for expression bulide

I am using the OBIEE 10g ,in the administration tools , can you tell me the difference between '...' button for expression bulide(Column Mapping) in the Logical Table Source and '...' button for expression bulide in the Logical Column ?
Thanks.
Edited by: kobe on Jan 8, 2012 10:00 PM

hai..
I wil tell you with example. In bmm layer, amount_sold is there and it is aggregated.Suppose, if you want to reuse that aggregated column, we cannot. At that time, create a new logical column ,goto-->expression builder-->select the logical fact table-->logical column(i.e,amount_sold).By doing this, we can reuse that amount_sold column.
Thanks,
:)

Very first step in configuring RMAN for a Backup

DB version:10gR2
I am a DBA supporting applications development and i am not familiar with RMAN. This weekend we are going to Patch 10.2.0.1.0 to 10.2.0.3.0. Before that i am going to take a backup of the entire Database containing around 57 schemas(total of around 600gb).
We don't have Tape drives. I am going to backup this up on three filesystems in the same machine. This instance is not running on ASM. What is the first step i should be doing in configuring RMAN for a backup?
Edited by: user10583227 on Jan 27, 2009 4:50 AM

Be careful, three filesystems doesn't necessarily mean the use of three channels. Could be more...could be less.
Are you in a position to shutdown the database? If not, you'll also want to backup the archivelogs with BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG. You may also consider creating a Guaranteed Restore Point which would allow you to rollback your database in minutes if the upgrade fails.

Backup procedure using RMAN for 11i Instance

Hi,
we have 11.5.10.2 instance
Node 1 = Application Tier ( 11.5.10.2)
Node 2 = DB Tier ( 9.2.0.7)
as of now, we are taking daily cold backup of both instances.
we want to implement RMAN online backup for DB and take cold backup every week end only.
so, what are the best procedures for implementing RMAN for 11i Database.
Please share your experience, if you have anybody implemented?
which one you prefer in RMAN backup ( backupsets or copy option or backupsets with compressed option) interms of performance.. our db size is 60 GB only.
we apply apps tier patches very rarely . so we want to take RMAN online backup for DB daily and take cold backup for entire apps and db in the week ends.

Hi,
This time, i am going to implement for Oracle 11i Database. thats why, i need you guys advice regarding 11i Database.Well, the same is applicable to 11i/R12 databases. You just need to configure RMAN the same way you configure it on any standalone database.
If you have implemented any where RMAN, can you share, how you are taking RMAN backup? I can share the scripts we use for backup using RMAN. If you are interested, let me know and I shall send it by email.
if we want to clone, are you cloning the TEST instance with RMAN backup or using cold backup.We use both, depends on the time frame of the cloning task and whether it is possible to use cold backup for cloning or not.
Please have a look at the following notes, it should be helpful.

Unable to create Spotlight query for expression

I don't want to assume that the following Console Log entry is a Spotlight indexing issue since the PID is from MAIL however the following entry appears repeatedly every minute to five minutes:
"12/1/10 6:33:01 PM Mail[2698] Unable to create Spotlight query for expression ([email protected]) && (kMDItemContentType == 'com.apple.mail.emlx' || kMDItemWhereFroms == 'message:*'w)"
Why would Mail try to create a Spotlight query like this, why so often, and where should I look to correct or remove the offending source?
BTW, the noted email address has been changed for privacy. Otherwise the syntax is exact.
Thanks

I, too, have been seeing this same error ever since I started syncing my mail via .mac or whatever they call it these days. The whole experience has been so problematic that I've discontinued using it, but it's taken me weeks to clean up the disaster it's made of my multiple computers.
This issue seems to be one of the last remnants of the whole debacle, and I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to clean it up without having to do complete wipe/reinstall of everything, which is pretty much all that's left to try.

User interface controls for express vi's

Hi
Is there any way to provide controls on front panel for Express Vi's
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I do not know what you are talking about. Express VIs don't exactly have a front panel (unless you change them to a standard VI). Or are you talking about the configuration dialogs? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Configuring reports for express data(2)

We are in the process of configuring reports for express data.
In this regard we have done the following steps:
1.In the machine A reports 9i developer suite release 2 has been installed on Windows 2000
Professional Edition with the following utilities - (a) Oracle Reports Builder and runtime
support,(b) Oracle Express Connection Editor and (c) Oracle SNAPI are installed.
2.Express Server 6.3.4 has been installed on Windows 2000 Professional Edition in machine
B with Remote Operation SNAPI 6.3.4.0.
3.Oracle 8i has been installed on Solaris and the Express Support Administrator and User
Accounts have created and the xrb_admin.sql and xrb_user.sql have been run through the
respective accounts.
Queries
1.We have still not run the Express Oracle8 External Procedures on the Oracle8
gateway. Should we run this in order to get Express Data in Reports9i incase of the General
Maintenance where the Express data fetches the data from the Oracle8 gateway on the fly
?We are also not able find the Express Oracle8 External Procedures downloads after
extensive search on OTN.Please guide as to where can we find the downloads.
2.What are the configurations settings that have to be done in the tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora
and listener.ora ?

Ramakrishnan,
Express connectivity for Oracle9i Reports is installed by default as one of your pluggable data sources and it communicated directly with Express, which is a large change over Reports 6i in which you needed an Oracle8i database to talk to the Express database.
For Oracle9i Reports, you need to have:
1 - Express installed 6.3 or later.
2 - Oracle9i Reports
3 - The connection dialog (which is documented in the release notes if you need to set this up)
That's it. When you click on the Express PDS to access the data, it will read the connection dialog information and you need to supply the logon information to the Express database.
You should also look at the help topic for Express and you will find all the necessary documentation on configuring Reports and how to connect.

Configuring reports for express data

I am trying to configure reports for express data and in this regard I have done the following :
1.Machine A having reports 9i Developer suite Release 2 and Pluggable Express Connection Editor
installed on Windows 2000 professional.
2.Machine B having which Express Server 6.3.4 installed on Windows 2000 professional.
3.In Machine A created user OESDBA with Administrator privilige.
In the reports I am able to connect to the Express Server and attach the database and choose the
measure.Once all the other steps are done I am able to print the data on the reports.
But if I use a parameter form in which I give the HOST,USER and PASSWORD then substitute the
same in the express_server parameter value in the AFTER PARAMETER FORM trigger block then
the report gives an error saying that
Express query contains incorrect,missing or damaged information.
How to solve this error ?
Can any one help me out.

Help: Step by step instructions for Express and Extreme setup?

Hi everyone.
I have been trying for the last 2-3 days to get this going and for reasons unknown, I just can't seem to set up my network like I had it working before.
What I am trying to do is add an AEX (802.11n) to my home network to help extend the signal in house. My router is an AEBS 4th generation which is connected to an Efficient Networks Speedstream 5100 modem.
I know this set up works because I set up and it worked fine. I then rearragend my home office, unplugged some cables, and when I went to reconnect, everything went downhill. I didn't change any settings, I just unplugged and reconnected. I have only my AEBS connected, I get internet and everything works fine. When I try to add AEX, everything freezes up and I lose my connection.
I've done a hard reset on both AEX and AEBS trying to get this to work and still, nothing.
I started with the AEBS first and here are the steps I took:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wireless Tab > Create a network > Network Name > Radio Mode > Automatic > Radio Channel > Automatic >
Wireless Security > WPA2 > PassWord
I then add AEX to the mix:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
This is the configuration I used when I first setup my home network and had no problems whatsoever.
All this was done in 5-10 minutes.
Now, now I can't figure this out.
Any help?

I have AEBS connected to modem via ethernet cable. I then have ethernet cable running from AEBS to AEX.
Understand. Good plan.
I then add AEX to the mix:
Manual Setup > Airport Button > Wirelss Tab > Extend Network > Find home network > Wireless Security > WPA2 > Password
There's the problem......Extend Network.....Should be Create a wireless network. "Extend" is only used if you are trying to connect using wireless only. You are connecting using Ethernet.
Set Channel = Automatic and Radio Mode to your choice
Make sure that the Express is in Bridge Mode as well:
Internet icon > Internet Connection tab > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode) > Update
Then...very important to power cycle the entire network by powering everything off in any order you want.
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two, then the AirPort Extreme same way, then Express the same, etc until everything is powered back up
