RMAN Restore Control File Fails - File Header Validation Fails

hi everyone,
This is 9i on Windows 2000.
I'm trying to restore a control file from a backup made by RMAN on another server.
I expected Oracle/RMAN to choke because it knows the backup file was not made from this servers database.
RMAN>restore control file from '......' gives ORA-19563 Control File header validation failed
Is there a way to force RMAN to restore a file, in a situation like this?
Thanks,
John

>>I expected Oracle/RMAN to choke because it knows the backup file was not made from this servers database.
What do you mean by this statement ? Do you mean that the servers are on different platforms ? If so first you need to do RMAN platform conversion to able to recognize the controlfile.
If not, Can you make sure of the following
1) source and target servers are same operating system
2) source and target database homes have same versions.

Rman restoration - Cannot identify file

Hi,
I am doing a RMAN restoration in linux server named I have a full backup plus next two days incremental backup to restore database till time.
I have created a instance started it wilth a pfile and restored the control file with below option
RMAN> restore control file from C:\backups\control_123.ctl';
The control file is succesfully restored...
RMAN > Alter database mount;
Database Mounted.
when i tried to restore the USERS tablespace i am getting the below error that file cannot be identified.
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece C:\Rman_files\hth_data_full_6304_1_770178761.bkp
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "C:\Rman_files\hth_data_full_6304_1_770178761.bkp
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
My question is it mandatory to move the rman and archive log backup files to the path that is specified in the backup control file, can we copy the RMAN files to some other location instead of default control file location and restore from there ?
Thanks

or just put the backup in the default location as in your case it is in folder "C:\Rman_files\"

Newbie has RMAN restore questions

I am new to Oracle and RMAN. We had a failure on a Windows Server running Oracle 9.2. I copied the backed up datafiles from RMAN to a recovery system. The production system is running again. I need to restore the old data on the recovery system, which is a clean installation of Windows Server and Oracle 9.2.
How do I get RMAN to see the backup set files that I copied over from our production system?
I tried this using the name of one of the backed up files:
CATALOG DATFILECOPY 'C:\BACKUP\ZEUS\DF0_ZEUS-2965_715266526';This returned "ORA-19563: datafile copy header validation failed for file C:\BACKUP\ZEUS\DF0_ZEUS-2965_715266526."
I think the problem is the one described at http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14192/maint007.htm:
If you try to catalog a datafile copy from a database other than the connected target database,
then RMAN issues an error such as the following:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

ORA-19563: datafile copy header validation failed for file /tmp/tools01.dbfI tried SET DBID so that the DBID is the same as the production database, but my results are unchanged.
Edited by: user12961563 on Apr 15, 2010 10:27 AM

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have tried "RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;" and the procedure "Performing Disaster Recovery" documented here: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10734/rcmrecov.htm. I run into these problems:
Not mounted: The RESTORE command fails with ORA-01507: Database not mounted.
Mounted: RMAN-06189: Current DBID does not match target mounted database.
So I run "SET DBID" to make the DBID the same as the source database, just like it says in step 3 of "Performing Disaster Recovery". The RESTORE command then searches some files and gives RMAN-06172: No autobackup found or specified handle is not a valide copy or piece.
The backed up files are in F:\Backup, and I have these settings:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\BACKUP\cf_%F';
The only thing I can think of is that RMAN is not looking in F:\BACKUP. Is there something else going on? I've read through scores of pages of docs, but can't find and leads.

How to Restore Control file to New Server

I want to test my backup by restoring the full backup of my production database on a separate test server.
I have taken following action for restore to test server:
•     Copy full backup to Test Server on same folder where it was in Production Server.
•     Copy parameter file to Test Server. (Edit control file location on it)
•     Connect Rman
•     Set DB with new DBID
•     Startup Nomount (from new parameter file)
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 TYPE DISK;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
Then we found following error:

Restoring Control file from snapshot

Hi,
As in RMAN the following configuration will create snapshot of control file.
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'product/10.2.0/dbs/snapcf_PROD.f'; # default
My question is how to restore control file from this snapshot to another location.
Regards
Krishna

Copy RMAN backup files including archive log backup files to the target server
Copy the SNAPSHOT CONTROL FILE or backed up control file from source server to target server.
Source Server:
RMAN> connect target /;
connected to target database: HRDMO (DBID=209403493034)
RMAN> show SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/opt/oracle/10g/dbs/snapcf_HRDMO.f'; # default
Target Server:
Export ORACLE_SID=HRDMO
RMAN
RMAN>startup nomount;
RMAN> set DBID=209403493034;
executing command: SET DBID
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/opt/oracle/standby/dbs/snapcf_crmprod.f'; # The location where you have it in target srvr.

File in File Browse item disappears if validation fails on any item ....

Greetings:
I'm using APEX 4.0. I have a region with 7 data elements, one of them being a File Browse page item. The BLOB file loads in the WWV_FLOW_FILES table first, then in the "After Submit" page processing, I move the BLOB into my own custom table. This works great in normal processing.
However, if any of the other data elements in this region fails validation, the page renders with the validation messages, but the file in the File Browse page item disappears. Therefore, the user would have to re-select the file to upload before they resubmit and process the page again.
How can I avoid this? Why does the path and file name disappear when page validation fails?
Thanks,
Stan

How can I avoid this? Why does the path and file name disappear when page validation fails?It is a required security feature. Per the HTML specification, APEX will not render a value in a file browse item on page show. This protects the user from nefarious persons changing the file item value during spurious "failed" validation (hoping the user is distracted correcting the "failed" item and does not notice) in order to capture a file the user does not intend to submit (e.g. /etc/passwd).

Xml validation in File to RFC Sync Scenario with Validation fails message

Hi All,
We are using PI 7.4 (Dual Stack) the Requirement is File to RFC Sync Scenario(File <---> RFC).and need to do XML validation against XSD Schema. if any Validations fails Response message should send back to sender.RequestResponseBean standard module is using for File to RFC Sync scenario but how to send the response message to sender if any validation fails. adapter level XML validation is not helpful for this requirement. please help out me how to achieve the requirement with graphical mapping.
Thanks in advance.

to validate schema you cannot solve it with graphical mapping but validating the schema in the AAE or the integration engine.
y recomend you to use the AAE validation at sender side, coz the sender system will be notified in case of schema errors.
The response will be validated at Integration Server level.
you can search in the forum, you will get many document about how to configure it.
take a look to my blog: PI 7.3 - XML Validation

If yes, then I believe you need to log a SR for this issue as none of us maintain this tool, and you need someone from Oracle (development team who maintain it internally) to verify why you are getting that error when uploading the files.

Rman restore file history

How to delete rman restore file history ? I restored datafile from backupset :
set newname for datafile 1 to 'D:\ORCL_K1\system01.dbf';
restore datafile 2 ;
and then i deleted file from OS .
When i try restore again , i get :
set newname for datafile 1 to 'D:\ORCL_K1\system01.dbf';
restore datafile 2 ;
then get :
datafile 1 is already restored to file D:\ORCL_K1\SYSTEM01.DBF
How to restore datafile again in d:\orcl_k1\

Thank's very much .

DMA File Validation failed

I'm busy upgrading a CallManager 4.1(3) cluster to 6.0. Ran DMA, and got the TAR file. I install UC6.0, and when I get to the point where it pulls the .tar file from my SFTP server, straight after, it gives me an error "DMA File Validation failed: No DMABackupInfo.inf file was found". I have opened the .tar file with winzip, and the file is there. i even opend the file, and it gives me all my network details, and I have made sure that this is all the info I used when i build the new server. Any ideas?
Kind regards
Louis

It said it was successful, but had warnings. I checked the warnings, and it was just with names like Du Plessis, with a space. The DMA file I used was 104mb, so last night I decided to restart the DMA backup, which takes 12.5hours, and it created a DMA file of 119mb. As this is in my lab, and nothing has changed, it obviously did not finish so successful as I thougt at first. So far it is importing, and it went past the previous error. Let's see what what that delivers. Thanks for your help anyway, as I would never have thought the DMA is corrupt.

I am trying to sync my 5th gen. nano. However, I keep getting an error message. The message says: The iPod, "whoever's" iPod cannot be synced. The file format is not valid. Don't know what to do except restore factory settings.

I could not find anything on this particular problem on apples support site. Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.

You need to be very specific. Exactly what are you syncing over to your iPod Nano? Can't help you unless we know which files are problematic.
Are you manually syncing or automatically syncing? If the latter, try syncing manually.
If you are getting the "the file format is not valid" message, suggest that you check out KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/sp569 which will tell you which files are "acceptable."
