To schedule a database back-up

Hi All,
I am a D2k Developer and now to take a database backup i am using the following process
I create a button and write some code like
HOST('EXP ' || vUserId || '/' || vPassward || ' FILE=' || DIR_NAME || FILE_NAME || ' LOG=' || DIR_NAME || vFileName,NO_SCREEN);
Now I want to schedule this job at periodically basis that no required to any user interaction.
Please any one tell me how it is possible and how it can do?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sanjit

You should use Oracle Scheduler to run a job

If your ECC6 is on SP12 and above, use t-code : DBACOCKPIT or DB13OLD

Regarding database back up

Hi all,
I am new to database back up. Can anyone explain me what is the difference
between the back up which is taken using db13 in sap and taking back up
directly from sql enterprise server in windows.
Is it possible to do offline and online back up through db13?
Can anyone please suggest me in detail.

Sanjeev,
Well, you can't. If you schedule the backup, the BRTOOL set will address this. DB13 really only gives you a 'GUI' interface for the BRTOOLs as well as a scheduling capability. Remember that when you trigger the backup job from DB13, you're not executing this at the SAP level, you're executing this from the OS level via the DBTOOLs - you could schedule the same job at the OS level if you wanted.
If you trigger a BRBACKUP with the option 'offline', it will actually shutdown the database for you, perform the backup, and restart the database (return it to the state when the backup started). SAP itself will not go down per se, but obviously, it will not have connectivity with the database, and users who logon during this time will receive error messages regarding "no connection to database". Most folks, therefore shutdown the SAP system first, then trigger the offline backup.
Hope this helps.

MRP - scheduled at the back ground???

hii
Can somebody explain me how to set MRP to be scheduled at the back ground.
I have to create New MRP controller and do the MRP scedule at background for the same.
Step by steps activities for this and if any ABAPer help we have to get , mention that also.
Thanks

hii kumar
Thanks for ur response.
But i have gone through, still i need some clarification.
Whethere in satandard SAP system there no possibilities to do MRP scheduling at Back ground at MRP controller level.
What i m asking , i have one company code , 4 plants , i have only one MRP controller.
Using that controller i have to do the MRP setting at background (Automatic).
Note: One MRP controller is used for every material type , hence we have only one MRP controller.
For abouve requirement ,suggest how to proceed furthere .
Thanks

MS Scheduler is not backing up my database

Dear buddies,
I have created a couple of scripts which works fine when I access them from command prompt, eventually the backups are created physically.
Even when I click on my bat file the backup is being created successfully but using scheduler it creates the backup successfully for the first day while I didn't enter a value for the end date and didn't give any values for the advanced features. It creates the backups successfully on the first day of creation. I have recreated them twice.
The windows version: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.
My Scripts are as such:
Step 1
File: DBBackup.bat
set ORACLE_SID=DB
sqlplus/nolog @DB_Backup.sql
Step 2
File: DB_Backup.sql
connect sys/password as sysdba;
alter system switch logfile;
alter system archive log current;
$Rman target sys/password CMDFILE DB.rcv LOG DB_outfile.txt;
Step 3
File: DB.rcv
RUN {
backup database format='D:\Oracle_Backup\DB\%U_%I_%T.bkp' tag="everyday_full_bkup"
plus archivelog format='D:\Oracle_Backup\DB\Arch%U_%I_%T.arc' tag="arcbkp";
backup current controlfile;
restore database validate;
crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
exitI Checked the DB_outfile, and it was not even created which means the scheduler didn't run?
I just now clicked on the bat file and it ran and created the backups and also modified the DB_outfile.
How should I fix this?
Please guide me.
I can move on to use the DBMS scheduler but still would like to know whats the problem here because previously the scheduler was working and now I added the path to the sql using the format clause.
After that, when I try to use it, the first time the scheduler runs and not after that.
Thank You Very Much.

How Discoverer scheduler handles Database links ?

I have 2 databases (both Oracle). created a view based on the another database view in the current database using the database link.
I ran the workbook in discoverer Plus successfully.
I scheduled the workbook without any problem
when I tried to open a workbook, I am getting the following error..
ORA 01017: INVALID USERNAME AND PASSWORD; LOGIN DENIED ORA02063:PRECEEDING LINE FROM
INPTR (INPTR is the name of the datasource )
Any ideas??
Thanks

See my reply to an earlier post today: "How to Connect to Discoverer Viewer " for more information. (How to Connect to Discoverer Viewer
Since you have not installed an infrastructure and associated Discoverer with it, you will not see any button / link to create public connections in EM (App Server Control).
You cannot use an existing database for your infrastructure. The Oracle Application Server infrastructure is installed in its own database.

does this means my rman utility is working properly or that my database path is not accurate..bcz that is the correct database path i entered.

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
-H Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
usage help.
-V Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
-C <version> Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
version specified by <version>. The version has
the form "x.y[.z]". For example, -C 10.2.0
-L Attempts to log on just once, instead of
reprompting on error.
-M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
have the form:
HTML ON [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
[ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] ON]
-R <level> Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
that interact with the file system. The level can
be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
disables all user commands interacting with the
file system.
-S Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
commands.
<logon> is: {<username>[<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / }
[AS {SYSDBA | SYSOPER | SYSASM}] [EDITION=value]
Specifies the database account username, password and connect
identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database
administration privileges.
<connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
or Easy Connect.
@[<net_service_name> | [/]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
<net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
to a connect descriptor.
Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
database net service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
server computer.
Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
<service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
want to access.
Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
Service name is ORCL.
sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
database.
The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

How to revert a database back to one day previous state.

Hi,
Of course, if no backup, then no restore.
However, unfortunately there is NO database backup available i.e. export/expdp/OS Backup/RMAN/Flashback. But, the requirement is to prepare another database on another server with one day back state. So, can we take fresh backup of the database which has all the archived logs, and restore it on another server as one day back previous state.
Is there any possible way to do this by using existing archive logs? Can LogMiner help in this regard?
Thanks,
SYED.

Technically you could get lucky - but I wouldn't want to pretend that the following procedure is sensible or a safe way to back out a production system.
If you have all the archived redo logs since the moment you want to get back to then you could, in principle, copy the database, run up logminer and extract all the UNDO_SQL that it gives you from the present back to the point in time you want to get to. You can then apply this, one transaction at a time, in reverse order of original application.
Problems I can think of:
<ul>
a) It's likely to take a long time to do this, and you'll probably want to have a lot of manual control and checking.
b) If you've done any drop tables or truncate tables in the interval you can't reverse them out.
c) If you've done any nologging dataloads you won't be able to reverse those out
d) There may be some data types that logminer won't cope with
</ul>
Other people may like to supply more reasons why this is not a good idea for a production system - but it might just be good enough to solve whatever problem you have.

Thanks in advance
shailender

In a very simple manner, you can shutdown your database and copy all datafiles,control files and log files or you can use Export utility to have an online data export of a user or who~e database.

Sharepoint Database back up

Hi,
We are doing back up of Sharepoint 2010 using following way:
- Taking back up of all database of Sharepoint 2010 from SQL Server.
Will this be sufficient in case of disaster recovery? OR Microsoft recommend to take Sharepoint farm back.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know the best way we need to back up the databases for SharePoint.
Regularly backing up content databases reduces data losses that might occur from hardware failures, power outages, or other problems.
It is a simple process and helps make sure that all the data is available for recovery, if that is required.
Based on your need, you can choose farm or granular backup for SharePoint.

Database back up settings

we are taking backups daily by automatic back up . I like to keep only the current backup .
that's if i taken a back up yesteraday (9/9/2009) , today also going to take the back up ( i like to overwrite the back up )
can i do that setting in SAP
regards
kavitha s

Hi!
This is not a setting.
1. You have to create a New Folder in a Particular Loaction - use command prompt codings to create it.
2. Move the Backup file of previous day to this folder - use command prompt codings to create it.
3. Delete the New Folder - use command prompt codings to create it.
4. Create all the above said coding as a batch file and schedule via system Schedule.
