RMAN reporting of Netapp Snapshots

Hi,
The database snapshots taken using Netapp are diverted to RMAN catalog repository. Is there a way, where we can run the reports on which backup is failed/successful using RMAN.
Thanks

Thanksfor Backup sets and proxy copies the command is: LIST BACKUP : (You can list all backup sets, copies, and proxy copies of a database, tablespace, datafile, archived redo log, control file, or server parameter file.)
for Image copies the command is: LIST COPY : (You can list datafile copies and archived redo log files. By default, LIST COPY displays copies of all database files and archived redo logs. Both usable and unusable image copies are included in the output, even those that cannot be restored or are expired or unavailable.)
for Archived redo log files: the command is LIST ARCHIVELOG (You can list archived redo log files.)
Query the V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS view for information about the backup type, status, and start and end time. The status column of this view STATUS, This column has One of the following values:
* RUNNING WITH WARNINGS
* RUNNING WITH ERRORS
* COMPLETED
* COMPLETED WITH WARNINGS
* COMPLETED WITH ERRORS
* FAILED

RMAN report need backup

We have an incremental level-1 backup Mon-Sat and cold full backup on Sundays with retention policy of 7 days. While troubleshooting some backup issues (space issue, expired backups) I ran the following commands and trying to understand the output.
RMAN> report need backup database;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 7 days
Report of files whose recovery needs more than 7 days of archived logs
File Days Name
100 146 /orahprdidx/hprd/psindex05.dbf
RMAN> report unrecoverable;
Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations

RMAN> report need backup days = 7 database;
Report of files whose recovery needs more than 7 days of archived logs
File Days Name
100 146 /orahprdidx/hprd/psindex05.dbf
RMAN> report obsolete recovery window of 7 days;
no obsolete backups found
RMAN>
I looks like I need 146 days worth of archive log files to recover the psindex05.dbf. If so, what I could do to bring that into the 7 days policy?
The database is fine, I am not trying to recover the database.
This was setup by someone and now I am taking over with minimum RMAN experience.
I appreciate any help in this subject.

The datafile was offline. I guess it was created my mistake and hanging in there. Once I do the cleanup it should go away.

RMAN REPORT OPTIONS

i do not really understand the 'redundancy' option of rman report command.
like the one below:
RMAN> REPORT NEED BACKUP REDUNDANCY 2;
please, i don't understand what the word 'redundancy' means here.
I need help please.
thank you

Think of redundancy as number of full backups.
Redundancy 1 is 1 backup ago.
Redundancy 2 is 2 backups ago.

RMAN Report

Hi,
I am using ORACLE 10.2 G. I have done the following on my pc :
ALTER TABLESPACE USERS BEGIN BACKUP;
CREATE TABLE NOTBACKEDUP(ID INTEGER, STR VARCHAR(16)) TABLESPACE USERS;
INSERT INTO NOTBACKEDUP VALUES(1, 'ROW 1');
INSERT INTO NOTBACKEDUP VALUES(2,'ROW 2);
COMMIT;
ALTER TABLESPACE USERS END BACKUP;
How do I view RMAN Report ? I need to print that report.
Thanks .

Hi,
I have never used RMAN before, I need to print a copy of RMAN report to show that work that I provided in my question. How do I start RMAN ? and How Do I print that report ? I am still in dilema with respect to above statement.
Take time and try to refer to the below oracle documentation

Rman - "report unrecoverable" concept

Hi
I am readin g a book on rman (rman recipes 11g from APress).
I m not able to understand what is the purpose of "report unrecoverable" command. Book says:
>
Ref: Section 8.3 - page# 229:
You want to identify which datafiles have been affected by unrecoverable operations, since RMAN needs to back up those files as soon as possible after you perform an unrecoverable operation.
Use the report unrecoverable command to find out which datafiles in the database have been marked unrecoverable because they’re part of an unrecoverable operation. Here’s an example showing how to use the report unrecoverable command:
RMAN> report unrecoverable;
Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations
File Type of Backup Required Name
1 full /u01/app/oracle/data/prod1/example01.dbf
RMAN>Could someone please give example of unrecoverable operation(s)? And how could rman/oracle know before hand if such an unrecoverable operation is going to be performed on certain datafile(s)?
Thanks

Thanks A datafile or tablespace are set to unrecoverable if any operation that had been performed (since the last backup taken on these datafiles) on datafile or tablespace that are unrecoverable.
A little explanation:
When ever a operation occurs on database i.e. any dml occurs on tables, these operation generates REDO information in redolog files. So when someone explicitly disable the logging information to redologfile(by hint no_logging), then datafile is marked as unrecoverable.
Oracle says it unrecoverable because oracle cannot perform recovery by reading from redologfile or archivefiles if datafile crashes and need a recovery. Thats why rman warns you about such operation which could have taken place and point you to datafile which had these operation performed. The operations which are unrecoverable are:
1) direct load/SQL load
2) direct-path inserts result from insert or merge statement
3) ALTER TABLE commands
4) CREATE and ALTER INDEX commands
5) INSERT /*+APPEND*/
6) partition manipulation
7) database object that has explicitly set with nologging option
8) Oracle eBusiness Suite concurrent job execution identified in Oracle metalink note: 216211.1
8) Oracle eBusiness Suite patches activities that involve database object manipulation
9) SQL*loader with nologging
So once you take the full backup of datafiles (which are affected by these operation) will clearout the Unrecoverable warning. Because now oracle has the backup of these files.
What preventions you can take for not making datafile to Unrecoverable?
Use force_logging

RMAN reports

Hi - need some tips on generating useful RMAN reports. (Not using Recovery Catalog).

Is it not possible to get that kind of information from the database views?
Thanks in advance.

You have to cross-check the times with your own backup schedules (e.g. you know when L0 backups are scheduled and when L1 backups are scheduled) OR backup run logs (using the LOG option or capturing the screen output).
Hemant K ChitaleHerman,
I tested tychos's solution (querying v$backup_set_details), and it looks Ok to me?

Unrecoverable_change# and rman report unrecoverable

I am running a test db oracle 11gR2 on windows server 2008.
I am running oracle suggested backup strategy for my backup operation.
So every night i run incremental backup and apply the previous incremental to image copies.
I am confused on why when i run a query like
select file#,name,unrecoverable_change#,unrecoverable_time from v$datafile
i have atleast one or two datafiles whose unrecoverable_change# and unrecoverable_time value is not 0.
Whether the operation was in nologging or not, since i have a incremental backup, why is the above value not 0??
However when i run in rman,
report unrecoverable;
rman does not report anything. So whats the difference b/w rman unrecoverable and the one from v$datafile??
can someone help me understand the correct concept of unrecoverable_change#??
Thanks.

Yes , this is right. At least with Oracle XE as show in following test case:

RMAN report to a table

Hello,
is there a way to create a RMAN report for all the backups that are being done in different databases and that report should be directly writing to a sample table.
the report should contain the colums like -
DBNAME BKPTYPE DATE STATUS STARTTIME ENDTIME .. and so on..
i've tried using some v$views like V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS,V$RMAN_BACKUP_JOB_DETAILS,V$BACKUP_SET_DETAILS. etc... but i need a some sql or pl/sql that should give me the complete report.
thanks,
vinay

Hi Vinay,
are you using recovery catalog then you can generate the backup report for all databases using the following query.
select
session_key, db_name,
min(r.start_time) start_rman,
min(c.checkpoint_time) start_controlfile,
min(d.checkpoint_time) start_datafile,
min(a.first_time) start_archivelog,
max(a.next_time) end_archivelog,
min(b.start_time) start_set,
max(b.completion_time)
end_set, min(p.start_time)
start_piece, max(p.completion_time) end_piece
from
rman.rc_backup_controlfile_details c
join
rman.rc_backup_datafile_details d
on c.session_key = d.session_key
join
rman.rc_backup_archivelog_details a
on c.session_key = a.session_key
join
rman.rc_backup_set_details b
on c.session_key = b.session_key
join
rman.rc_backup_piece_details p
on c.session_key = p.session_key
join
rman.rc_rman_backup_job_details r
on c.session_key = r.session_key
where
db_key =
(select db_key
from rman.rc_database
where name = 'alice1')
and
c.checkpoint_time >sysdate-14
and
d.checkpoint_time >sysdate-14
and
r.start_time >sysdate-14
and
a.first_time >sysdate-14
and
b.start_time >sysdate-14
and
p.start_time >sysdate-14
and
a.next_time >sysdate-14
and
b.completion_time >sysdate-14
and
p.completion_time >sysdate-14
group by
session_key,
db_name;

OEM and rman reporting

Good Morning.
I've just installed Grid Control 11g, and have it successfully monitoring several of our databases.
One of the pages shows the database RMan backups. Is it possible to get these eMailed out ?
The databases are backed up using RMan, but there is no catalog involved. Is it possible to get the RMan stats out (Such as size, speed, time taken, successful or not from the control file), in which case I should be able to write my own report out, and have these eMailed out..
Thanks in advance

Yes you can get that .
Create a job of type RMAN and then configure email notification for that.

RMAN reporting using SQL*PLUS

I am trying to create a report that will take some of the rman schema views/tables and put it in a specified format for a report. I need to get the database name, start day and time, end day and time, how long the backup took in seonds, the backup status and the number of bytes of the backup. I also need it to span 2 days, i.e 6pm yeterday to 8am today. So far here is what I have:
select a.name,
to_char(MIN(b.start_time), 'MM-DD-YYYY') as "Start_Day",
to_char(MIN(b.start_time), 'HH24:MI:SS') as "Start_Time",
to_char(MAX(b.completion_time), 'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as "End Day",
SUM(b.elapsed_seconds) as "Seconds",
b.status
from rman.rc_database a, rman.rc_backup_set b
WHERE a.DB_KEY = B.DB_KEY
AND a.DBID = B.DB_ID
AND trunc(b.Start_time) = trunc(sysdate)
GROUP BY a.name, b.status
order by 2,3,1
It only works for the current day and I can't seem to find the byte size for the backup piece. Any suggestions on how this should work I would relly appreciate it.

This is not a right forum to post your problem. This is SQL PL/SQL forum.
Please post it in Database General Forum.

Rman :: report backup tag= ??

hello all,
few weeks back i took a full backup of my database using rman and specified a tag like ' %weekly.......%' . Now i dont remember the name of the tag.
how would i find the TAG ?. I checked the TAG column in v$backup_piece, but to no use.
TIA,
JJ

but list backup summary did not get me the tag !!How no??
The 'list backup summary' show the TAG yes...

RMAN + Netapp (NAS) to clone - Help Me, Obi-Wan

I have database PROD instance that runs on linux server #1.
I have database DEV instance runs on linux server #2.
The databases for both instances live on a Netapp NAS (in different directories, of course). Everything is 11gR2.
The backup method is a hot backup using a Netapp snapshot, not RMAN.
In the past, I've cloned PROD to DEV manually. Now the dev team wants to automate this so it can be run as a script (i.e., run a script and DEV is wiped out and replaced with a copy of PROD renamed to DEV).
I'm wondering if it would be easiest to do this with RMAN DUPLICATE, even though I'm not using RMAN to backup. The DBs are about 300GB and will probably grow a bit more.
I'd like to avoid having to create an RMAN backup of 300GB and then another 300GB for the datafiles as part of the cloning process, if that is possible. As you can probably tell, I am not the world's greatest RMAN expert - just looking for the easiest path.
Is this a good approach? Any gotchas?

If you want to take the Netapp snapshot approach, it is very fast and easy to script.
copy PROD's /etc/oratab file over to DEV as "/etc/oratab.PROD"
make a copy of DEV's /etc/oratab as "/etc/oratab.DEV"
make a pfile of PROD's spfile/init file and put it on DEV as /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV/dbs/PROD_to_DEV.ora
modify the pfile as needed (lower memory params if dev has less resources for example)
create symlinks on DEV to mimic prod:
ln -s /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/PROD
ln -s /u01/app/oracle/admin/DEV /u01/app/oracle/admin/PRODBasically all you need to do is start the snapshot up as prod and run "NID" to change the DB from PROD to DEV.
This can be scripted like this (you'll most likely need to modify the skeleton script to fit your environment):
#!/bin/bash
cp /etc/oratab.PROD /etc/oratab;
export ORACLE_SID=PROD;
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/PROD;
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' << EOF
startup mount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV/dbs/PROD_to_DEV.ora';
quit
EOF
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV/bin/nid target=/ DBNAME=DEV<<EOF
Y
EOF
cp /etc/oratab.DEV /etc/oratab;
export ORACLE_SID=DEV;
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV;
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' << EOF
startup mount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV/dbs/initDEV.ora';
create spfile from pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/DEV/dbs/initDEV.ora';
shut immediate;
quit
EOF
sqlplus '/ as sysdba' << EOF
startup mount;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
quit
EOFThat's really all you need to do on the DB conversion side. It's fairly simple to script up the taking of the netapp snapshot and mounting it on DEV and then calling the above DB conversion script.

Weekly/Monthly Snapshot Report

Hi,
I have now three cubes Daily,Weekly and Monthly cubes...
I had made copy of the daily cubes as weekly and monthly.. There is no difference as such structure wise...
But what extra i need to do to make these weekly snapshot report and monthly snapshot report..
Now all three cubes are added in multiprovider and multiprovider was used in the definition of the query..
For daily cube report though, i had simply restricted infoprovider as daily cube and designed the query..
But what about weekly and monthly snapshot reports?
as snapshot reports are basically meant for comparing time periods how i could achive the same in reporting?
What i am contemplating as follows:
1) Since these are comparing different times ( for weekly snapshot, you must have at least two different weeks of data to compare ) i guess we need to include a time chararistic 0CALWEEK for Weekly snapshot, 0CALMONTH for Monthly snapshot..
But even after including this time charactristic, how i would be comparing?
i am not clear on how to creata a snapshot report
What one has to do in the weekly and monthly cube to be able to compare the data on weekly/monthly basis?

Simran,
Weekly Snapshot means entire data has to restated against each week.
For example to check open orders status week wise, entire open orders(till end of current week) has to restate against current week. at end of the week, need to pass remaining open orders as next weeks snap shot.
In this way we will get snapshoting of open orders week wise. We can use these weeks to compare.
For weekly snapshot add week to cube, and at end of each week pass current week closing balances as next week opening balances + transactions in that Week gives snap shot of that week.
For example Check: [HOW TO HANDLE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SCENARIOS IN BW (NW2004)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f83be790-0201-0010-4fb0-98bd7c01e328]

Run single, consolidated AWR report on 4 adjacent snapshots?

We typically collect snapshots in 60 minute periods for our instances. Recently, a customer ran a test for 3.5 hours. I created an ADDM report spanning the 4 snapshots (useful). However, being able to generate an AWR report for the same 3.5 hour duration would add additional insight.
Currently, I can generate 4 separate AWR reports, one for each hour. However, I'd like to be able to create a single, consolidated AWR report. This way, I don't have to manually sum useful numbers like Executions contained in 4 separate AWR reports for SQL ordered by Elapsed Time, etc.
Can I create one, aggregated AWR report? Or is my only other option to revise the snapshot collection duration before the next scheduled load test occurs (e.g. to 3.5 hours for a 3.5 hour load test)? Would prefer not to have to do this. But is it the only available option to accomplish what I need?
Thanks very much.

Thanks Rob. I'm able to run an ADDM report for the 3.5 hour duration I need. No problem there. I want to run a consolidated "AWR report" on multiple snapshots, e.g:
Performance > Snapshots > Click a snapshot ID > Click Report tab (by default you are on the Details tab).
This AWR report gives a lot more information than an ADDM report.
Can I select multiple snapshots for the AWR report? I'm already doing so with ADDM reports.
The title for the "AWR" report I'm interested in is: "WORKLOAD REPOSITORY report for." It doesn't have ADDM findings in it because it's not making recommendations--just reporting a large amount of snapshot details.
I'm guessing now that the answer is "no" to what I'm asking. Hope this makes sense.
