Rman incremental level 1 merge with level 0

from my reading of the rman backup document, it seems the merger incremental level 1to level 0 for recover only apply to merge with image copy, not the backupset. Is that true? However, such backup scheme will create a huge backup image copy, almost fill up my assigned backup depository directory. Is the following script works as merging with level 0 ?
{backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 for recover of tag 'bk$LEVEL0' database;}
It run without error and created a very small incr file size, but not sure it has the same meaning of "for recover of copy" as in other document.

If that is true, why we need to create an incremental level 0 backupset as the base for recover? I have one compressed backupset level 0 at beginning, then incremental level 1 for recover. with the "recover of copy with tag", it seems to create a redundant full backup. Also Iam confused, The "recover of copy with tag" is actually an image copy of the full backupset or the image copy of the original database.
My script as for full backup at beginning
{ backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0 cumulative device type disk tag 'Baanbk$LEVEL0' database; }
then incremental
{ backup as compressed backupset incremental level 1 for recover of tag 'Baanbk$LEVEL0' database; }
Should I modify the full backupset script?

Backup RMAN Incremental Level 1 without Level 0 - 10gR2

Hi,
I'm a bit confused after some tests.
The Question: It's mandatory to perform backup incremental level 0 before the level 1 using Oracle 10gR2 ?
On Oracle 11.2 it's mandatory but on Oracle 10.2.0.5 I don't know.
Test on 11.2. If doesn't exists level 0 rman take care about it and perform automaticaly level 0 before level1

...Docs said:
Incremental backups capture only those blocks that change between backups in each datafile.
In a typical incremental backup strategy, a level 0 incremental backup is used as a starting point. A level 0 backup captures all blocks in the datafile.
So, on Oracle 10.2.0.5 this not happen like on 11.2:

Hi Gokhan,
Thank you for point this.
After spending a time studying about this I find out this:
Your expanation apply only in Oracle 10gR1/R2.
Because there is differences between RMAN Version 10gR1/R2 and 11gR1/R2 about Incremental Level 1 and this confuse me.
Oracle 10gR1/R2 run only one backup incremental level 1 even if level 0 not exists .
Oracle 11gR1/R2 run two backups incremental if level 0 not exists. i.e level 0 first and after that level 1.
Oracle 10gR2
If no level 0 backup is available, then the behavior depends upon the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks changed since the file was created, and stores the results as a level 1 backup. In other words, the SCN at the time the incremental backup is taken is the file creation SCN.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup004.htm
Thats means wich RMAN run level 0 with name level 1. (i.e: Only one Backup) This is confuse.
Oracle 11gR1
If no level 0 backup is available in either the current or parent incarnation, then the behavior varies with the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks that have been changed since the file was created. Otherwise, RMAN behaves as it did in previous releases, by generating a level 0 backup.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV89500
Oracle 11gR2
If no level 0 backup is available in either the current or parent incarnation, then the behavior varies with the compatibility mode setting. If compatibility is >=10.0.0, RMAN copies all blocks that have been changed since the file was created. Otherwise, RMAN generates a level 0 backup.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmcncpt.htm#BRADV89500
Thats means wich RMAN run (automatically) level 0 first after finish level 0 backup RMAN run level 1 backup (i.e Two Backups). This seems right.

Block Media Recovery and RMAN Incremental Level 1 backup

Hi
I have read somewhere that Block Media Recovery will not work if a database is backed up using rman incremental 1. Is this true, and if so is there a work around?
I cannot seem to find this in oralce's documentation.
Regards
Me

Hi,
1) is Full Backup = Incremental level 0 backup?
Yes
2) When oralce say BMR does not work with incremental, will it work in the case I put forward. becuase Im doing an incremental 0...
But does you have the Archive logs available.. ?? If yes then it will Support.
3) Im my case will BMR work...that is use Incr level 0 on Sunday and then use archive logs for mon, tues etc
Yes, I believe.
@Hemanth .. am I right.. ?? Wait for your inputs...

If RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails...

Hi there,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Best regards

Hi,
I have a question. If the RMAN incremental level-1 backup fails, will the next level-1 backup attempt take backup of all changes since last successful level-0 OR level-1 backup?
Check the V$BACKUP_SET dictionary to confirm whether the last backup has been touched by data dictionary. If the failed incremental backup is picked up then the previous incremental backup will be required in case of the next DIFFERENTIAL INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 backup.
But to be on safe side , it is recommended you take a LEVEL 01 CUMILATIVE INCREMENTAL backup from Level 0 till date. So that the recovery process can go through even if the previous backup is not valid.
Thanks &
Best Regards

IView from second level navigation merged with Other page

Hi All,
I encountered a typical problem with iViews.
I have second level navigation with links as AAA,BBB,CCC (work sets) added to the Role-1.
CCC is a work set which is been added with pages CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3. (CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3 are also added to detailed level navigation).
Now on clicking of CCC (second level navigation link), I have page displaying with CCC-1 (which is working as desired).
Now I have page DDD wh.ich is directly to the Role-1. Hence now second level navigation is displaying as AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD on clicking on Role -1 .
Now when I click on CCC, while displaying the contents of CCC-1, DDD (page) is also displaying beneath of the CCC-1.
I don't want this DDD merging with CCC-1.
Can any one help me, how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.

Hi,
Just a thought : you could create a new workset and put DDD in it and see if that helps.
Regards,
Pierre

Rman Level 0 and Level 1

Hi Everybody
I have to schedule my rman backup in the following manner.
1. Weekly once level 0 backup has to run
2. Rest of the other days level 1 backup has to run to disk
3. In between the week if we moved all backup to some other destination, the backup schedule has to run the level 0 instead of incremental backup automatically.
Then level 1 backup follows the level 0 backup.
Can anyone help me out how to schedule this task that satisfies the above three condition.

Thanks Aman
My manager he needs like windows backup that level 0 run at once in a week and level 1 follows till end of the week if we remove the backup or moved within the week then backup folder will be empty that time level 0 has to run instead of next incremental backup.
For example: I am schedule the rman by following manner by windows schedule task with script.
1. Level 0 is scheduled at saturday only
2. level 1 is scheduled from sunday to thursday.
My manager he don't want like this. level 0 should not run by day like saturday. he wants script will check the disk if level 0 is existing or not
if existing it will replace the level 0 with new one.
if not existing it will create the new one.
Is there possible to run level 0 and level 1 in the same script.

Merge - 2nd Level Navigation

Hi there
Would really appreciate it if someone out there can put me out my misery.
Here follows the problem ...
The requirement on this project is to have really fine control over which reports users are shown. To this end, reports (iviews) are assigned to roles. Users are then assigned to the relevant role to give them access to the required reports.
In terms of the menu structure, many roles make up a menu. In order to not display menu items to which a user has not been assigned, we have gone with the merging approach.
Anyone out there know how to merge on the second level of navigation?
R1 = required top level tab
R2A, R2B = required second level tabs
R3A1, R3A2, R2B1, R2B2 = required detailed navigation items, each with their own structures defined with worksets
At the moment, R2A and R2B are assigned as delta links to R1.
R3A1 and R3A2 have the same mergeID as R2A. R2A has the lowest merge priority.
Similarly, R3B1 and R3B2 have the same mergeID as R2B.
For now, the test user is assigned to all the roles above, just so that I can see if the merging works.
The theory goes that if this works, I can assign the user to the relevant R3? roles and they will then only see what they are supposed to see.
All I see however, is R1, with R2A and R2B on the second level, but none of the lower roles pull through to the detailed navigation.
If I set R2A and / or R2B to be entry points, then they show as a top level tab, and the R3B1 and R3B2 roles are merged correctly underneath.
If I make them not entry points, then I don't get any merging.
Any ideas ... anyone follow what I am saying ... very difficult to explain this in text without drawings
Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew, Steve and Selvaraj,
Here is my work around. It's not easy to maintain, but it fulfills the requirement..
We can only merge roles appropriately in the 1st level, when we make them entry points right? If we add them to another role as delta link, whether they have inner role or not they see the roles content. Also we dont want their content to be seen in the second level.
My solution is again merging them in the first level and make them entry points with lower merge priority then our original entry point. However add our second level roles one folder with the same name and merge them with the 1st level role with the same id and make entry point.
The result is
My job
---My applications
App 1
App 2
Now the roles
roleMyApps : mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:1
roleSalesPerson mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:5, containing a folder named (my applications) * its the trick, and under it your original content.
roleFinancePerson mergeID=mergeApps Entry point, priority:5, containing a folder named (my applications) *, and under it your original content.
You can also use worksets rather then folders but I didn't try it.
Let me know if it helps, and reward helpful answers.
Regards,
Barış

Rman backup full then level 0 and level 1 Weekly

Please share your thoughts of backups.
Friday -> Take a full rman backup
Saturday -> Take a level 0 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply level 0 ?
Sunday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Monday -> Take a level 2 rman backup -> If recover needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Tuesday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recover needed restore full and apply incremental 2 ?
Wednesday -> Take a level 2 rman backup -> If recovery needed restore full and apply incremental 1 ?
Thursday -> Take a level 1 rman backup -> If recovery need restore full and apply incremental 2 ?
Thanks

Please note that Full and level 0 backs are same...
Sunday -> Take a level 0 rman backup
Monday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Tuesday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Wednesday -> Take a level 2 rman backup
Thursday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Friday-> Take a level 1 rman backup
Saturday -> Take a level 1 rman backup
Taking level 2 in the middle of the week, so that in case of any recovery you need ao apply changes since the last level 0, 1 or 2

RMAN level 0 and level 1 tablespace/database relationships

If I take an incremental level 0 backup of an entire database and then take a level 0 of an individual tablespace, does an incremental level 1 backup of that tablespace reference the incremental level 0 of the tablespace or of the entire database? If I change the order of the level 0 backups, does it change the reference of the tablespace's level 1?
I guess what I'm asking is does the the level 1 incremental reference the latest level 0 regardless of whether it's for the whole database or just the tablespace or does a level 1 always reference it's own level 0?
Also, if I take a level 0 of the database Sunday night, and then a level 1 of the database every night after that as well as multiple level 1s of a tablespace throughout each day, will Tuesday night's database level 1 include all of Monday's tablespace level 1s?
I just can't seem to find oracle documentation about these relationships.

Hemant K Chitale wrote:
"Database" and "Tablespace" are logical groupings for our convenience.
RMAN tracks backups at the datafile level.I think that is exactly what I was looking for. I just want to clarify my understanding.
If I run a level 0 on the database Sunday night, a database differential level 1 each night, and a level 0 on a specific tablespace each morning at 6AM followed by hourly tabelspace differential incrementals only for that tablespace, then Monday night's level 1 will be an incremental of the entire database pointing to Sunday's level 0 except for that specific tablespace for which it will be incremental from that tablespace's last level 1. Does that sound right? If so, then it sounds like to restore the entire database to its state on Tuesday at noon from media, I have to put these backups back on disk before running the RMAN restore:
- database level 0 from Sunday
- Monday night's database level 1
- Tuesday's tablespace level 0
- Tuesday's tablespace level1s from 7AM - noon
This means I can avoid putting Monday's tabelspace incrementals back right? From what I gather, the RMAN restore will put the blocks back into the datafiles at their correct SCNs, and then if there are any archive logs after that point in time, the RMAN recover will apply them. Does that all sound correct?

"A.swf" on level 0 to a "B.swf" on level 1 with an "gotoAndStop(5)????

Has enybody an idea, how i can refer from a flash "A.swf" on level 0 to a "B.swf" on level 1 with an "gotoAndStop(5). I tried it with:
loadMovieNum("B.swf", 9), gotoAndStop(5);
and other variations. It didn´t work anytime. Has anybody an idea how it can work?

If you are trying to tell the B swf to gotoAndStop(5) after it has loaded, you need to wait until it has loaded and you need to target it as well. Look into using the MovieClipLoader class. If you look at the MovieClipLoader.addListener section of the help documents it provides an example of how to listen for completion of loading. After loading you need to target the loaded movie... just using gotoAndStop(5) alone is tagerting whatever timeline that code is in, not any specific object.

Changing width of a Sidebar in One Level Tabs with Sidebar.

I am using a One Level Tabs with Sidebar.
How can we change the width of the sidebar??
Thanks,
Deepak

Sam,
In the sidebar region of One Level Tabs with Sidebar., I am using LIST, so when I clicked the " show edit links" of LIST region, it's using template as Navigation Region. Then I did the following modification.
Original Code
<table class="t16NavigationRegion" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="210" style="table-layout:fixed;">
<col width="25" /><col width="85" />
Modified Code
increases the table width from 210 - 310 - nothings happens
<table class="t16NavigationRegion" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="310" style="table-layout:fixed;">
<col width="25" /><col width="85" />
increases the col width from 85 to 185 (table width remains same as 210) - sidebar region width increases (FINE)
<table class="t16NavigationRegion" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="210" style="table-layout:fixed;">
<col width="25" /><col width="185" />
decreases the width of table from 210 - 110 - nothings happens
<table class="t16NavigationRegion" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="110" style="table-layout:fixed;">
<col width="25" /><col width="85" />
decreases the col width from 85 to 45 - nothings happens
<table class="t16NavigationRegion" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES# border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" width="210" style="table-layout:fixed;">
<col width="25" /><col width="45" />Also, what are thses two columns width for
<col width="25" /><col width="85" />Thanks,

Data level Security with Oracle Apps as Source

Hi all
I am implementing Data level Security with Apps as Source(OLTP) on Single Sign On.(Oracle has provided the Vanila rpd & we are working on that)
I need to Filter data based on Business Group, Users are created in Apps and they are registered with some Responsibilities.
(for eg, OBI User CHINA is a Responsibility; Now he will get only Business Group ID for China)
I have created Groups in rpd with same name as the responsibility in Apps.
I have created Initialization Blocks from which I m getting only 1 business group ID for every :USER.(I tried the code in TOAD & I m getting the correct BG ID)
I have created Group in WEB with the same name as the Group name in rpd.
If I say show all Users and Groups in WEB, I m getting the APPS Users.
I hv Reloaded the server metadata files and restarted the BI Server/WEB Server also...
But in the Report, I m getting all the Business Group Ids,
Plz advice if I m doing something wrong.
ThanQ
Anand

You need to be creating your "business groups" as a group in the RPD, init blocks to retrieve the user business group at login. Filters in the Logical table sources to restrict data to relevant business groups only.
Presentation 'Web Cat' groups with the same name as the RPD groups so a user inherits membership automatically.
I'd suggest sourcing a vanilla OBIA rpd to see how it is implemented out of the box.

How to set dimension level security with multiple levels

Hi,
We have hierarchy with Level 0 codes to Level 4 codes.
For e.g.
Region 1 : Level 0 code 10000, Level 1 code 10001, Level 2 code 10011, Level 3 code 10111, Level 4 code 11111
Region 2: Level 0 code 20000, Level 1 code 20001, Level 2 code 20011, Level 3 code 20111, Level 4 code 21111
Region 3: Level 0 code 30000, Level 1 code 30001, Level 2 code 30011, Level 3 code 30111, Level 4 code 31111
From SSAS role administration, I would like to assign a user permission to all Region 1 codes and only Level 3 code (30111) of region 3.
How and where do I set this kind of permission?
Thanks in advance.

Export OMF with levels

Hi there,
I am trying to export an omf in FCP 7.0.3 with levels, but the audio guy doesn't see the levels. He is using a pyramix system.
I have heard that automatic duck has a plug in where you can export to aaf with levels, but this is an expensive program.
Is there an other way to do this?
regards, Micha

Dear Nick,
I know how to export an OMF, but my problem is that the de audio editor doesn't see the levels. The manaul says that this should work, but it doesn't. He does see the cross fades, but not the levels.
I am now trying a workaround by media managing a copy of the sequence without video and make a XML file, but the problem there is that the although I removed all the video, the media manager still includes the video in the export.
The audio editor can read the xml file with the levels and the cross fades, but the export is now very big (it is a 50 minutes sequence) because the video is still included.

Message Level Security with SOAP Adapter

Hi,
I need to use Message Level Security with my SOAP Adapter. Please let me know if anyone has done the same in the past?
What are the steps I would need to do? How can I use WSS based security in the SOAP Adapter?

Hi,
Message-level security is recommended and sometimes a prerequisite for inter-enterprise communication.
It improves communication-level security by adding security features that are particularly important for inter-enterprise
Message-level encryption is required if message content needs to be confidential not only on the communication lines but also in intermediate message stores.
