Shell script for archive log transfer

hi
I dont want to reinvent the wheel.
I am looking for shell script for log shipping to provide standby db.
What I want to do is, get the last applied archived log number from alert.log
Copy the files from archive destination according to this value.
Cheers

If you don't want to re-invent the wheel you use Dataguard, no scripts.
And your script should use the dictionary, instead of some bs method to read the alert.
v$archived_log has all information!
Also as far as I know, the documentation describes manual standby.
So apparently you not only don't want to reinvent the wheel, but you want the script on a silver plate on your doorstep!
Typical attitude of most DBAs here. Use OTN for a permanent vacation.

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Shell script for DB

Hi,
I have written shell script for below scenarios, can you please guide me to write this as correct way, requirment is,
1. i need to connect the database which is on unix server , but before connecting the DB some of the files needs to be removed from \tmp directory.
2. once removed the script need to connect the database and call the sql file which is in \tmp directory.
3. the output files will be stored in \tmp directory start with DB name.
4. finally csv files needs to be transferred to local windows with help of FTP. please find below the script
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/dbmon/DB1*
CONNSTRING=username/PASSWORD@service
sqlplus -s $CONNSTRING @/tmp/STATS.sql << EOF
EXIT;
EOF
HOST='xxxxx'
USER='xxxxx'
PASSWD='xxxxxx'
FILE='E:\STATS\DB1.*'
cd /tmp/dbmon
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
mput $FILE
bye
EOT
EXIT;
EOF
Thanks

Hi ASP
It's always a good idea to write entries to timestamped log file without which you will never know where the script went wrong or failed.
This is not tested but just a small example
#!/bin/sh
export LOG_DIR=/tmp/log
export LOGFILE=$LOG_DIR/`basename $0`_${TIMESTAMP}.log
if [ ! -d $LOG_DIR ]
then
mkdir $LOG_DIR
fi
echo "Removing the temporary files from /tmp/dbmon at `date +%Y%m%d_%H:%M:%S`" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
rm -f /tmp/dbmon/DB1*
CONNSTRING=username/PASSWORD@service
echo "Run SQLPlus file" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
sqlplus -s $CONNSTRING @/tmp/STATS.sql << EOF
EXIT;
EOF
echo "Now FTP the files to windows box " | tee -a $LOG_FILE
HOST='xxxxx'
USER='xxxxx'
PASSWD='xxxxxx'
cd /tmp/dbmon
ftp -vn $HOST <<EOF
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
ascii
cd E:\STATS
mput DB1.*
bye
EOF

Shell Script for Startup and Shutdown the database

Hi,
i want Shell Script for Startup and Shutdown the database in Solaries.
could any one can hep me where i can get this script. or send to me to [email protected]
Thanks & Regards,

SHUTDOWN
SHUTDOWN ABORT]
Shuts down a currently running Oracle instance, optionally closing and dismounting a database.
Terms
Refer to the following list for a description of each term or clause:
ABORT
Proceeds with the fastest possible shutdown of the database without waiting for calls to complete or users to disconnect.
Uncommitted transactions are not rolled back. Client SQL statements currently being processed are terminated. All users currently connected to the database are implicitly disconnected and the next database startup will require instance recovery.
You must use this option if a background process terminates abnormally.
IMMEDIATE
Does not wait for current calls to complete or users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
NORMAL
NORMAL is the default option which waits for users to disconnect from the database.
Further connects are prohibited. The database is closed and dismounted. The instance is shutdown and no instance recovery is required on the next database startup.
TRANSACTIONAL [LOCAL]
Performs a planned shutdown of an instance while allowing active transactions to complete first. It prevents clients from losing work without requiring all users to log off.
No client can start a new transaction on this instance. Attempting to start a new transaction results in disconnection. After completion of all transactions, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected. Now the instance shuts down just as it would if a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement was submitted. The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
The LOCAL mode specifies a transactional shutdown on the local instance only, so that it only waits on local transactions to complete, not all transactions. This is useful, for example, for scheduled outage maintenance.
Usage
SHUTDOWN with no arguments is equivalent to SHUTDOWN NORMAL.
You must be connected to a database as SYSOPER, or SYSDBA. You cannot connect via a multi-threaded server. For more information about connecting to a database, see the CONNECT command earlier in this chapter.

How to calculate storage space for archive log files and database backups?

Hi all,
I have a 1.8 terabyte Oracle 9i database and need to plan for how much additional disk space I will need to perform nightly backups and for archivelog files. Is there a script or formula available that can help me estimate how much required disk space I will need to hold a days worth of archived logs as well as a nightly export dump file and a full hot RMAN backup on disk?
Thanks!

I'm not sure how to estimate the size of your backups, especially if you use incrementals. However, the space required for archive logs will be equal to the amount of REDO your DB generates. I would count the number of log switches per day with a query like the following:
select trunc(first_time), count(*)
from v$log_history
group by trunc(first_time)
I would then take the average and multiply this count by the size of your redo log files (assuming they are all the same size).

Validation failed for archived log

Hi,
oracle database version 11.2.0.4
OS centOS 6.5
Recently i have set rman backup scripy on production Database, As we are using dbvisit for standby database for that we have set cron which run in every 10 minutes it generates archive and copy it to standby side,
but sometimes backup failed due to expected archive is not represent at location so i put "crosscheck archivelog all" in script now backup is running fine, But i have analyzed backlog file getting
"validation failed for archived log" the time stamp i have checked validation failed archive is current day and yesterday even though archives are present at the location and CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 14 DAYS;
Guys i am worried it shouldn't be a big issue for me,
please suggest what is wrong

What are you trying to do exactly?
It's working but you have to put it in a loop. Fine, what's the problem you are having?

Shell script for export backup in oracle 11g

Hi,
Oracle version 11.2.0..
O/S-AIX
How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.
Regards,
Raju

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;

"recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

Hello,
Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
First we restored, an online backup.
We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
Then we performed the recovery :
According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
The probleme is it prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

Thank you very much for your help.
Frod.

Hi,
Let me answer your query.
=======================
Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
      then do not go for until cancel recovery.
2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
     process is    on.
3. During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying V$RECOVERY_LOG you    can find out about the redologs required.
4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
Hope this information helps.
Regards,
Madhukar

How can I set destination for archived logs?

I would like to know:
how to set destination for archived logs?
how to identify the init.ora that is used for my database?
With rman using compressed backupset by default and and making
backup database;
What does it backup exactly?

Another thing I am wondering, when I make a backup with rman : backup database.
It saves the backups in the directory autobackup from the flash_recovery_area but it seems that it only saves the data files and the control files.Isn't there a way to sava archived logs files, control files, datafiles in a single backup?
In fact I would like to make a full backup using rman on sunday of everything and a incremental backup all days of the week how can I acomplish this with a retention of 7 days?

Secondary destination for Archived logs

Version: 10.2, 11.1, 11.2
We occasionally get 'archiver error' on our production DBs due to our LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 being full. How can I have a secondary location for archive logs in case my 'primary' location (LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1) becomes full ?
I gather that LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 is reserved for shipping archive logs to Dataguard standby DB in which you specify the tns entry of standby using SERVICE parameter.
Can I specify LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3 as my secondary location in case LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 becomes full ? Is it what LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n meant for ? Although the documentation says you can have upto 10 locations, I am confused if they are meant to store Multiplexed copies of archive logs ? That is not what I am looking for ?

>
Hi again Tom,
I have one more question:
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_4 = 'LOCATION=/disk4/arch';
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3 = 'LOCATION=/disk3/arch
    ALTERNATE=LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_4';
ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_4=ALTERNATE;
SQL> SELECT dest_name, status, destination FROM v$archive_dest;
DEST_NAME               STATUS    DESTINATION
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1      VALID     /disk1/arch     -------------> Dest1
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2      VALID     +RECOVERY       -------------> Dest2
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_3      VALID     /disk3/arch     -------------> Dest3
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_4      ALTERNATE /disk4/archMy understanding is (and I'm not terribly sure at the minute - don't have a test system to hand. I haven't
set up a backup/recovery strategy in a while - I just restore backups from time to time (normally every 4 weeks)
to ensure that the database recovers as it should) - my understanding is that under the scheme above
DEST_3 will be a copy of what's in DEST_1. DEST_4 on the other hand will "step in" should DEST_1
or DEST_3 fill up/fail.
As to DEST_2, I'm not sure - maybe something to do with Fast Recovery Area? I've Googled but can't
find anything - the trouble is that all the pages about this contain the word "recovery" and the "+"
sign doesn't appear to affect the search - does "+" mean something special to Google?
I don't have a system at the moment - if you do, why don't you test and see? On a test system, fill
up the file system for DEST_1 with rubbish and check to see what happens?
All of the above is to be taken with a pinch of salt - I don't have a system to hand and am not certain,
so CAVEAT EMPTOR
HTH,
Paul...
