Standy controlfile

Hai
primary database name is orcl and standby database name is stby
i create a standby controlfile and after that i started the standby database ,put the database in nomount stage and i tried to mount the stanby controlfile
since i was creating the standby database in same system i provided a different name for standby controlfile and instance
but when i give the query for standby database in nomount stage as alter database mount standby controlfile
it throws the error as standby name stby is not existing in the controlfile and name orcl(name of primary database)is mentioned.now wat can i do to change the entry orcl as stby within the controlfile.
since controlfile generated is a binary file iam unable to change the entry
so how can i make my standby controlfile to get mounted in my standby database?
Regards
Ila

A Standby database has to have the same DB_NAME as the Primary.
As you are creating the standby on the same server, you should use DB_UNIQUE_NAME to provide it a unique name. DB_NAME must still be the same as that on the Primary.

Flashback database and Physical Standby databases

Hi,
We are thinking about the following scenario in our Production Standby databases. We are trying to do this to avoid number database cloning situations.
When we require live data to test data fixes :-
1. Switchover/failover the standby database.
2. opened this database in read write mode.
3. Apply the fix and test.
4. Flashing back the database prior to the SCN which did the switchover/failover.
5. Activate the standby again using a new standby controlfile.
Would you experts please comment on this idea?
Is this is possible? If so, would you please guide through the steps/some documentation.
Thanks in advance

This will not work according to me,
1)U can give previous SCN in rollback and gets the data till that SCN, but it will not become standby unless u make it a standby again manually by creating standy controlfile etc(may be this will be succesfull and limited up to check the data fixes).
2)Iif your first step succesfull then what about the fixes u test by applying patches using opatch and patchsets that cannot be rollbacked using flashback because they are copying new version files and adding some more configuration files to oracle home?.
There are lots of pitfalls and loop holes needed to be checked

Can not read trace of controlfile...

hello,
we have Oracle 10G production database on RAC on windows 2003 Enterpr 64 bit.
i wanted to take the trace of controlfile and read the contents of same..
i took the backup of controlfile with the
sql> alter database backup control file to 'd:\control.trc'; then with the help of tkprof i transferred that trace file into txt
tkprof d:\control.trc d:\control.txt but whn i try read that its giving me nothing..the size of the tracefile hows something 15480kb and that of the text file created by tkprof is only 2k..how is that?
i also tried to open the tracefile with wordpade..but it shows me junk value...
how can i read trace of that file
need your help...
thank you..

because thats the controlfile itself, and not its "trace"
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as 'd:\control.trc';

What is the diffrence between ' Contolfile ' and ' Standby Controlfile' ???

Hi Guru's,
Can someone please help me out with the diffrences between a 'Control File' and 'Standby Controlfile'.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Girish

Kind of reply you can always expect from Sybrand...anyways...the controlfile of any production database would always be having a bit in itself which identifies a database as a primary or a standby database, so whenever you try to query select database_role from v$database; for any production database it would always give output as PRIMARY and for a standby it would always give output as PHYSICAL STANDBY..Hope it clears your doubts

After every resetlogs you have to take fresh backup.
It seems you have opened your database in resetlogs and your backup is prior to this resetlogs.So the controlfile is showing inconsistance with the other datafiles.

How can I add a new controlfile in ASM?

In the ASM,I can't copy any file.How Can I create a new online controlfile? Thanks!

You can use "alter database backup controlfile to trace" command to get the control file contents.
Now you can use create controlfile:
1) If you use resetlogs, use file creation context form for specification of log files.
2) If you use resetlogs, use file reference context.
Why do you want to create a new control file. Is it for multiplexing purpose?
Reference: Chapter-12 of Oracle database administrator guide 10gR2
search for title "Creating a Control File in ASM" ...
Hope this will help you.

Creating a new controlfile with datafiles in RMAN backup

Hi,
i am using oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) in RHEL5 server. i am trying to restore a RMAN backup from one server to another new server with new db name. i have taken out the spfile from RMAN autobackup and created pfile from it and edited the pfile with new dbname and directory structure and started the db in nomount with the new pfile. Now i have restored the controfile from the RMAN autobackup tried to put the database in mount state. But it failed due to the below error
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 11/05/2012 21:44:56
ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not 'DEVDB'
Hence i shutdown the database and started the db in nomount with new pfile and tried to create the controlfile with the new db name,but it failed as it is looking for the datafiles.
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DEVDB/datafile/o1_mf_system_80jq0kfw_.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
All my datafiles reside in my RMAN backup. How to get the datafiles from RMAN backup in the above scenario??
Regards,
007

Hello;
The location and filename and DBIS will be different, but you need something like this :
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman << EOF
CONNECT TARGET /
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
SET DBID 3754763357; #DBID of PROD database
RUN
   ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk format '/u01/oradata/backups';
   RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '/u01/oradata/backups/sb_t790762003_s85_p1';
   ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
   SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/system01.dbf';
    SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/CLONE/temp01.dbf';
   RESTORE DATABASE;
   SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
   RECOVER DATABASE;
   release channel c1;
ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS; So you need "SET NEWNAME" for all your files

What`s wrong with my controlfile multiplexing setup?

Originally, my database was using the default controlfile multiplexing setup and it was working perfectly fine.
But then, start today, it doesn`t work any more.
when i try to mount the database, it always throw below errors.
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more infoand when I look up the alert.log, it shows:
ORA-00202: control file: 'E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\CONTROL01.CTL, E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\CONTROL02.CTL, E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\CONTROL03.CTL'

Loss of all controlfile,database is automatic shutdown abort?

Your database is configured in NOARCHIVELOG mode. All the control files have been lost due to a hard disk failure but the data files are not lost. You have the closed whole database backup available to you. Which two statements are true in this scenario? (Choose two.)
A) The instance aborts.
B) The database cannot be recovered.
C) The database can be recovered by restoring the control files from the backup.
D) The database remains opened and you have to shut it down with the ABORT option.
E) The database can be restored till the point of the last closed whole database backup.

Its only when the process terminates that the locks are released and file is actually deleted at operating system level.I concur!
This behavior is *NIX only.

How to find out the Correct Controlfile script Trace .trc file in /bdump

Hi Guys
This is the most childish queries in this forum ..
I wanna know how to Find out the correct trace file when we Issue alter database backup controlfile to trace at sqlprompt for Creating controlfile script.
As i find it a bit confusing to go through the same Date & almost same time .trc files out of hundreds of trace file in /bdump directory to find the correct one.
if we 've to find the Alert log file in /bdump directory $ ls -l al* & we get the alert log file .... if there is any similar way to find out the controlfile script Trace file ?
Thanks & regards

MZcreation of the does not happen automatically. What script, and when does it run, do you have that creates the control file trace? Look for files in that time frame. Better, modify that script to specifically name the file .. BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS ....

Need of resetlogs in recovery from controlfile backup...

Hi,
Suppose we are recovering with controlfile backup, we have all archivelogs and online redologs.
After restoring the controlfile and recovering the database why there is need of *"open with resetlogs"*, because when we have all archivelogs and redologs the DB should recover to the point of failure.
Plz help and clarify.
Ashutosh.

Can you please correct if I'm wrong.

The Find my iPhone service option is given to you when you first set up the device. If you just reset it, you may have been given that option. So, in other words, the service may have been enabled even if you didn't realize it. You can then go to www.icloud.com and click on Find my iPhone, and have it play a sound. Or, you can use the Find my iPhone app on your mom's iPhone, but the service would still need to be turned on on your iPod.
Unlike Compukid said, Apple will not assist in locating a lost device without the Find my iPhone service.
I found that out 2 years ago, it's just that I thought Apple might have changed that.

Oracle 8.1.7.4 - restore controlfile

Hi,
I am wanting to know if you can use the following command to restore a controlfile, if you don't use an rman catalog with Oracle 8i (8.1.7.4).
restore controlfile from '<dir>/cf_rman.bus'
If you can't do this, then I am wanting to know alternative ways.
Appreciate any suggestions on this.
Many thanks

I dont know what rman 8.1.7.4 does or does not support. But you can go for user-managed recovery, as is the case with most of oracle 8.
cp /backup/control01.ctl /oradata/control01.ctl
Then recover using: recover database using backup controlfile.

Standy controlfile
