Schedualing jobs in RMAN

HI,
I have tried and tested backup and recovery using RMAN.
Now, I would like to know how to schedule backups at regular intervals using RMAN. Is it possible at all to do this or should a batch file be written.
I am currently running ORACLE 8.0.5 EE on WinNT4.0.
Thanks in advance,
Vani

Greetings....
I'm looking for similar info. I am putting 8.1.7 with iFS 1.1.9 on windows NT. I plan to use RMAN for the backup. The database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. NO Recovery Catalog (so no scripts). I plan to use "closed, consistant, whole database backups".
I understand the '@filename' convention can run an operating system file containing RMAN commands, from the RMAN prompt.
I tried putting the rman login in an os file with the 'run' syntax following. The batch file executed and logged me into RMAN, but the processing stopped with the black screen and the RMAN> prompt.
Can I use the 'at' command in Windows NT to schedule the execution of the rman login AND an operating system file with RMAN commands?
There is good info in the Recovery Manager User's Guide and Reference (A76990-01), but I do not see a specific reference to setting up a scheduled 'batch' RMAN backup on NT.
thanks

Oracle 10g schedualed job did not start

Hi every one,
I am facing the following problem and I need your help:
There is scheduled job invoking a Procedure .The job does not run although the next run date is set. The job should run once daily. The next run date remains the same and the Logs for the job do not show any succssful or failure attempts. The job is enabled and is working fine in another system.
All the other scheduled jobs are running.
The Procedure can be successfully executed manually.
There are no simultaneous jobs that are scheduled at the same time.
The number of scheduled jobs is acceptable.
The platform is Sun Solaris 10 , RAC 10g

Hello,
Can you post your code ? Also look under following view dba_scheduler_jobs (status, next_run_date). Here is sample job that runs daily once in 9:00 AM. Your job status should be either 0 or 1,
BEGIN
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
      job_name          => '"MYSCHEMA"."MY_DAILY_JOB"',
      job_type          => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
      job_action        => 'begin
myschema.file_upload;
end;',
      repeat_interval   => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=9;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0',
      start_date        => SYSTIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'US/Eastern',
      job_class         => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
      auto_drop         => FALSE, --------- > auto_drop should be set to FALSE
      enabled           => FALSE
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute (name        => '"MYSCHEMA"."MY_DAILY_JOB"',
                                     attribute   => 'restartable',
                                     VALUE       => TRUE);
   sys.DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable ('"MYSCHEMA"."MY_DAILY_JOB"');
END;Regards

Combine RMAN step and an SQL step in Same Job ?

Hi experts,
This is 10.2.0.4 on Windows.
I want to add an email as the last part of my RMAN backup job (Scheduler job).
Because Database Control gui requires you to specify a Job Type - RMAN, SQL Script etc will I be able to do both things within a single job? Can I run a "Backup Database plus archivelog" in a SQL Script job type?
I am a SQL Server DBA still struggling with the simple tasks in the few Oracle databases I support.
Thank you.
John

It may not be possible to do it with Oracle's default job which is, to many of us, something to be avoided.
Write your own and you will find that you can chain jobs

Look at the demo for CREATE_CHAIN.

How do I cancel a rman job from command line?

Hello to all,
I am having some problems with a rman job that is running via OEM-GC. I get an error message regading the SPFILE and control file being locked due to another job accessing it. I found this in the RMAN ref guide:
To determine which job is holding the conflicting enqueue:
1. After you see the first RMAN-08512: waiting for snapshot controlfile enqueue message, start a new SQL*Plus session on the target database:
% sqlplus sys/sys_pwd@prod1
2. Execute the following query to determine which job is causing the wait:
SELECT s.sid, username AS "User", program, module, action, logon_time "Logon", l.*
FROM v$session s, v$enqueue_lock l
WHERE l.sid = s.sid and l.type = 'CF' AND l.id1 = 0 and l.id2 = 2;
You should see output similar to the following (the output in this example has been truncated):
SID User Program Module Action Logon
9 SYS rman@h13 (TNS V1-V3) backup full datafile: c1 0000210 STARTED 21-JUN-99
Solution
After you have determined which job is creating the enqueue, you can do one of the following:
* Wait until the job creating the enqueue completes
* Cancel the current job and restart it once the job creating the enqueue completes
* Cancel the job creating the enqueue
So with this in mind; How do I cancel the job from RMAN command line!!!
This is my output by the way:
SID User PROGRAM MODULE ACTION Logon ADDR KADDR SID TY ID1 ID2 LMODE REQUEST CTIME BLOCK
475 SYS [email protected] (TNS V1-V3) backup full datafile 0000018 STARTED16 23-APR-09 00000023EB8D488 000000023EB8D4A8
475 CF 0 2 4 0 113123 0
Any help will be gratefully received
Thanks to all that reply

I used the following to get the spid and killed the process on the OS.
set linesize 120
col sid for 999
col username for a14 trunc
col osuser for a18 trunc
col spid for 99990

, v$process p
where ( p.addr = s.paddr ) and s.type!='BACKGROUND'
and upper(s.program) not like '%CJQ0%' and s.program is not null and s.username is not null

Oracle EBS R12 - 11.2.0.2 - Logical Standby Database & RMAN backups

Hi all,
I have Oracle EBusiness Suite R12 running on 11.2.0.2. Our organization used to have most of the business in North America, South America and Europe; but now we are also in Australia, China and Indonesia. Previously running large reporting batch jobs and RMAN backups at night time in USA was feasible but now that is beginning to show up as performance issue for some countries.
I was thinking would it make sense to have a Active Data Guard logical standby database on a separate server in the same US based data center where we have our main servers and use that logical standy database for reporting and RMAN backups. I am especially concerned about RMAN backups. Would I be able to make RMAN backups from the logical standy database and somehow use those to recover our primary database if some issue happens?
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks all,

Active Data Guard only deals with physical standbys. If you are using a logical standby you can always open the database without using Active Data Guard option.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25608/rman.htm#sthref846 says that:
>
Backups of logical standby databases are not usable at the primary database.

Scheduling jobs through dbconsole

Just trying to clear my concepts about automating jobs, my understanding is we can automate jobs through crontjobs (on unix) /taskscheduler (on windows)
The other option is DBMS_SCHEDULER.
any jobs like RMAN backups or sql scripts running should show up in below query(they are not running through Scheduled Tasks (its window box)
but i see few jobs & RMAN backups running on one db but i can't see them in this query, what i am missing?
SQL> SELECT owner, job_name, enabled FROM dba_scheduler_jobs;

Moving backed up file in disk to tape using RMAN

Hi All,
Is there a way in RMAN to move an already backed up file present in disk to tape?
The scenario is as follows:
RMAN backs up database to disk on week days initially. At a particular day, say during Saturdays, those backed up file (made on week days) in disk will be moved to tape (to clear disk space). I wish to know if RMAN has this capability to move the backed up file from disk to tape (FLASHBACK is not enabled in the database). This will help RMAN to restore the files from tape in case of restore/recovery. I don't want RMAN to take the backup on tape straight away.
Oracle Database Version : 10.2.0
OS : SunOS 5.10
I'd be grateful if you can provide me with suggestions.
Thanks,
...

RMAN will not move the already backed up files.
Instead you can use CATALOG START WITH option to move the files from disk to catalog.
Schedule this as a job then RMAN will move the backup files.
refer this,

RMAN COMMANDS

Hi hussein,
I got these RMAN backup commands from someone's scripts (previous dba).
rman1.exe
========
#!/bin/sh
export ORACLE_SID=PROD
export ORACLE_HOME=/u02/oracle/PROD/db/tech_st/10.2.0
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
rman target / @/u05/RMAN/backup.cmd log=/u05/RMAN/backup.log
backup.cmd
=========
run {
     CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
     CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u05/RMAN/%F';
     backup format '/u05/RMAN/%d_LVL0_%T_%u_s%s_p%p' database;
     delete obsolete;
     }I think this is for RMAN 10g.
Will this script good for 9i and 11g?
What else is lacking in this script ? specifically in the "configure backup pamaters"?
Thanks a lot,

Regard's1. you can query this DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS view (its contains information about all Scheduler jobs in the database)
2. since the "dba before" might be using third party tools, you can monitor the process on solaris OS.
e.g
-bash-3.00$ ps -ef|grep -i ora
you can monitor the STIME, CMD column to identified new process runing that you did not start. By tracking the PID and PPID, you can know the third-party tools and other information!

RMAN - upgrade catalog taking too long

Hello ,
I am trying to upgrade the rman catalog and it is taking too long to upgrade , infact after 4 hours wait time it is still excuting the upgrade command .
Target database is : 11.2.0.3 PSU1

upgrading the rman catalog to 11.2.0.3 .

Need Email Notification of Job Completion Status

Hi experts,
this is 10.2.0.4 on the Windows platform
I have a simple little job that has Job Type: RMAN Script
Backup Database plus archivelog;
I have installed UTL_MAIL.
How can I have Oracle send an email to me when the job fails?
( This is not a Scheduler job though it runs on a schedule. I used the Database Control gui to create it.)
Thanks. John

I would just modify the stored procedure or batch script being ran to issue the email as the last action it takes if no errors were returned by prior steps/actions.
One way to add an extra action to existing stored code without changing the stored code itself is to write a cover routine that calls the existing code, tests the return code, and issues or calls the additional code (email in this case)

Rman repository and target

Hi,
my RMAN repository is in 10g R2, and target is in 8.1.7.4. I want to know when I backup by RMAN what would be the RMAN version executing the job ? RMAN 8.1.7 or RMAN 10g ? Thanks and regards.

Yo would be using the RMAN executable in the target ORACLE_HOME (ie, RMAN would be 'local' to the database).

Suspend job in Enterprise Manager

Hi everybody.
I have a problem with my oracle enterprise manager jobs. I schedule a job with rman commands for my database backups and it works fine every day, but sometimes, like yesterday, Oracle enterprise manager shows a message with "Trabajo Suspedido" (suspend job). I delete the job and I recreate again, but the job again is suspend.
Anyone can help me?

The alert log in 10g has format like this:
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/<DBname>/bdump/alert_<SID>.log
It usually records basic job actions, that's why I asked for it.
I'm not sure, but would be good to check if the job suspended due to exceeded schedule window.
There is also option to resume a suspended jobs.
Also you may try to query:
select to_char(log_date, 'DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS') as LOG_DATE, OWNER, JOB_NAME, JOB_CLASS, OPERATION, STATUS, USER_NAME
from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_log
order by 1;
and
select owner, JOB_NAME, PROGRAM_NAME, JOB_ACTION, schedule_name, to_char(start_date, 'DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS') as START_DATE, REPEAT_INTERVAL, enabled, state, comments
+from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS --+
where job_name like '%<place_you_jobname>%';
to find more details and analyze history of those events.
