Unable to crosscheck backupset

Dear all,
Database version is "9.2.0.3" and using RMAN to do online backup.
I got the following errors when I "crosscheck backupset", please see below:

Thanks.

ORA-19608: /backup/db/backup/RMAN/backup_PROD_748148824_40533_1_ilm9fm2o_1_1.bck is not a backup pieceDoes the file still exist on disk? If yes, rename it. CROSSCHECK will no longer find it and will change the status to 'EXPIRED' in the controlfile. Then you can remove the entry with 'delete expired'.

RMAN unable to read backupset file during Cloning

Hi,
I'm performing cloning operation on windows to windows. On target I have taken backup through rman using recovery catalog. I've taken fresh backup of database along with archivelogs and delete the obsoleted one using rman recovery catalog repository.
When I connect to Target,Recovery catalog and auxiliary instance after executing some commands RMAN gives error that it is unable to read backupset file. What could be the reason for this. I'm posting the Error Portion of RMAN listing please see it and tell me what could be the reasons as I have taken fresh backups and it seems that it is unable to read that particular backup.

If your RMAN backup exist on target server path.
Target Server: C:\Oracle\RMAN_BACKUP\
Put it on the same location in the auxiliary server.
Auxiliary Server: C:\Oracle\RMAN_BACKUP\
During cloning also connect with your recovery catalog as you are using recover catalog for the target server.

Difference Between Crosscheck Backup and Crosscheck Backupset

I am using 10gR2 on Solaris 5.10
I have a following RMAN script:
run
backup database;
crosscheck backupset;
crosscheck backup;
}What is the difference between Crosscheck Backup and Crosscheck Backupset? Can we just specify crosscheck backup?
regards

CROSSCHECK BACKUP - this command check all backup set and image copies
but CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET check only backupsets

Restore CTL file from AUTOBACKUP earlier than my backupset?

Hi ALl,
I'm new to RMAN and inheriting a backup procedure and have a question about an output when trying to do a restore.
Oracle 11G 11.2.0.3 on WIndows 2008 R2
This is the RMAN backup commands:
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET;
CROSSCHECK BACKUP;
CROSSCHECK COPY;
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUPSET;
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG DELETE INPUT;
EXIT;THen i copy the ORAFRA to another server and run the following commands (after shutdown)
rman TARGET / NOCATALOG
SET DBID=XXXXX;
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;The quirky thing is, the output of the last one says the control file was restored, say on May 26th.
In my backupsets, i have daily backups all the way until today, June 3rd.
In the ORAFRA, i dont have AUTOBACKUPS past May 26th though my backup job has been running fine since then.
Then i run this:
RUN
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE NOREDO;
}Thinking that i want to restore to the last full daily backup which is last night at 7pm (June 2nd).
With the control file being restored to May 26th, will this be possible or am i missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi mseberg,
Yes i wouldhave thought that the AUTOBACKUP folder would have folders for each of the past days, but it only has it until May 26 - so it's missing almost a week of folders.
The restore/recovery finished but when i tried to open the database, it threw an error:
Finished restore at 03-JUN-13
Starting recover at 03-JUN-13
using channel ORA_DISK_1
Finished recover at 03-JUN-13

Hi,
You cannot mix crosschecking with a range of dates and TAG.
With RMAN you must use with TAG or use with a range of dates.
But you can try create a RMAN command from Catalog.
Try it:
Connect on RMAN Catalog.
alter session set nls_date_format = 'dd.mm.yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
SELECT 'CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET '
|| LISTAGG (BP_KEY,',') WITHIN GROUP (
ORDER BY BP_KEY) BK_KEY
FROM RC_BACKUP_PIECE
WHERE DB_ID =
(SELECT DBID FROM RC_DATABASE WHERE NAME ='PRTUXDB'
AND TAG = 'PRIMARY_HOT_DB_BK_LEVEL0'
AND START_TIME BETWEEN '30.05.2012 09:18:48' AND '30.05.2012 09:37:32';PS. I used the column START_TIME instead COMPLETION_TIME because it's most common we know wich date backup was started, due scheduler (e.g crontab).

Create standby DB with RMAN backup in Oracle 9.2.0.6

I am tring to create a standby DB in different host with different directory using RMAN. The commandv with which I tried to create the standby database is the follow:
(in the primary server side)
RUN
ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL DUP1 TYPE DISK;
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE FOR STANDBY
NOFILENAMECHECK
DORECOVER;
but RMAN give me this error:
Starting restore at 18-FEB-08

Additional information: 3
The standby database is in a different host with the same directory structure. I started (with nomount option) with the same init file that the primary database.
I read solution like the backupset must be copied manually to the standby host, but for me is not a solution.
The RMAN backup script is the follow (like
RUN {
CROSSCHECK BACKUPSET;
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUPSET;
crosscheck archivelog all;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE disk;
BACKUP
$BACKUP_TYPE
FORMAT '/rman/opferi2/df_sipd_%d_%u_%s_%p'
DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup format '/rman/opferi2/archive_log_%d_t%t_s%s_p%p' (archivelog all);
RELEASE CHANNEL ch00;
when $BACKUP_TYPE=0
Can anyone help my with this problem?? Thaks
Cristian.
PS. Sorry my bad english because I am from Latin America

Requirements are:
1 the backup should be accessible to both target and auxiliary database in the same location.
2 On Unix this can be arranged through NFS, provided you set the read and write buffer to 32k.
Obviously the backup can not be located in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs, as you can not mount a NFS directory over $ORACLE_HOME/dbs without loosing functionality.

Recovery Manager complete.
google found some questions, but not fittung answers.
So far:
- I checked the folder & users rights.
- I found some /tmp/ files - yes I "backup" the backuped archivelogs to-delete files in /tmp - I only active archivelogmode so I can onlinebackup
- I managed to login via rman and execute DELETE OBSOLETE manual - result above.
- Actual I delete the set one by one to find the problem set. (delete backupset 12345 ) from the list manually.
Some a good idea what went wrong?
additional: Is there a way to let oracle delete the empy archvielog-directories after deleting the logs within?
18:00- the command "RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE" also fails.

Any chance to reset/kill that file?
Is there a need to restart the dbms after rename the file?

Recovery window retention policy deletes archive logs before a backup?

Hi All,
Oracle 11G on Windows 2008 R2
This afternoon, I changed my RMAN retention policy from 'RETENTION POLICY REDUNDANCY 3' to RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3 DAYS'
However, i checked tonight and after my daily backup ran, all the archive logs prior to the backup had been deleted! Thus meaning i dont think i can restore to any point in time, prior to my daily backup. All the .arc logs were there after the backup. So i tried another test and kicked off the daily backup again. During the backup process, the archive logs got deleted again! Now i don't have any archive logs..
Is this proper behaviour of RETENTION POLICY RECOVERY WINDOW?? I thought it would keep all the files needed for me to restore to any point in time for the previous 3 days. When i used REDUNDANCY, with my daily backups, it kept 3 days worth of backups+ archive logs so i could restore point-in-time to any point. How can i use RECOVERY WINDOW so that i can actually restore to any point-in-time for the 3 days??
I wanted to change to RECOVERY WINDOW since i read that by using REDUNDANCY it only keeps X copies of a backup (so if i ran the backup 3 times in a day, i would only have those 3).
Thanks in advance.

Oracle 9i Data Guard on Solaris 9

I've set up a database on two separate servers and am creating a physical standby database using Oracle's documentation. Since there are few folks I can talk to who have run dataguard for a failover operation, I need some experienced advice.
Thus far, I have:
1) enabled force logging on the Primary Database and ensured the primary is also in archivelog mode and have defined a local archiving destination.
2) Copied the datafiles on the primary DB to a temporary location, and created a control file for the standby database.
3) Created a pfile from the spfile for future editing.
4) The next step is what I'm unsure of - copying the files from the primary system to the standby system (datafiles, standby control file, and initialization parameter file). Where exactly should each of these files being copied over be placed...in the same directories traditionally used, or should I create a "standby" directory as a subdirectory. If I drop for example the standby control file in the traditional directory (i.e., $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/(sid)), should the other controlfile be left there?
Any help would be most appreciated.

Here is another way of setting up standby
take a backup using following script and restore it as duplicate. Before restoring, make sure you have all the necessary configuraion set for standby and primary communiction. All the backedup archivelogs are available.
run {
sql 'alter session set optimizer_mode=rule';
# Clean up the repository - prior to the backup
crosscheck backupset;
crosscheck copy;
configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/your path/%%F';
# Allocate Channels.
allocate channel c1 type disk format '/your path/logs_%T_%U';
#crosscheck copy of archivelog all;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY;
backup as compressed backupset
archivelog all
tag archive_logs
delete all input;
# Release Channels.
release channel c1;
allocate channel c1 type disk format '/your path/dbf_%T_%U';
allocate channel c2 type disk format '/your path/dbf_%T_%U';
allocate channel c3 type disk format '/your path/dbf_%T_%U';
allocate channel c4 type disk format '/your path/dbf_%T_%U';
backup incremental level 0 cumulative
as compressed backupset
database
plus archivelog
tag database_inc0;
backup as copy current controlfile
format '/your path/bacracp11_control.ctl' reuse
tag control_file;
# Release Channels.
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
release channel c4;
for restore use following configurtion; please make changes to this according to rman setup
run {
allocate auxiliary channel c1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel c2 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel c3 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel c4 type disk;
Make sure set all the files from your primary database use following example
set newname for datafile 1 to '/your path/system01.dbf';
set newname for tempfile '/your path/temp01.dbf' to '/your standby path/temp01.dbf';
duplicate target database for standby;
switch datafile all;
switch tempfile all;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
release channel c4;
}

Hi guys.
I am new in oracle database.my database is in no archive mode
i want to take backup through RMAN .

backup database;
but fail to backup. please see error
ORA -19602: cannot backup or copy active file in noarchivelog mode

Enable archiving in 10g
1. shutdown immediate;
2. edit init.ora set log_archive_start=TRUE /*Set this if your database is 9i. If 10g DB then ignore this step*/
3. startup mount;
4. alter database archivelog;
5. alter database flashback on; /*Not required to enable archiving. Just extra info to enable flashback logs*/
6. alter database open;
7. archive log list;
Now take backup
run
allocate channel ch1 type disk format '%D_%d_%t_%T_%s.bak';
backup database plus archivelog;
report obsolete;
delete noprompt obsolete;
crosscheck backupset;
crosscheck archivelog all;
resync catalog;

Dbms_scheduler job on windows

Hi
Oracle 11gR2 on windows.
I am trying to schedule a rman backup job through dbms_scheduler however backup doesnt happen. Note that backup works if I initiate manually (by double clicking hotbackup.bat)
Same scripts work in 10g database, not sure why it doesnt work in 11g.
1-) Create schedule
BEGIN sys.dbms_scheduler.create_schedule(
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=20;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0',
start_date => systimestamp,
comments => 'schedule for the backup job',
schedule_name => 'my_backup_job_schedule');
END;
/2-) Create job
BEGIN sys.dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'daily_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'E:\rman\script\hotbackup.bat',
schedule_name => 'my_backup_job_schedule',
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
comments => 'Job which backup the db',
auto_drop => FALSE,
enabled => TRUE);
END;
/3-)hotbackup.bat
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c rman target sys/sys @E:\rman\script\backup.rman LOG=E:\rman\log\rman.log
exit /B 0 4-)backup.rman
run {
set command id to 'rman_backup';
crosscheck archivelog all;
crosscheck backupset;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt expired backupset;
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE FORMAT 'E:/rman/backupset/database_%d_%u_%s_%T' PLUS ARCHIVELOG FORMAT 'E:/rman/backupset/archivelog_%d_%u_%s_%T';
backup current controlfile format 'E:/rman/backupset/control_%d_%u_%s_%T';
crosscheck backupset;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt obsolete;
delete noprompt expired backupset;
delete noprompt expired archivelog all;
}

When running a Windows shell script, your job_action needs to be the command interpreter, with arguments that name the script it should run.exec dbms_scheduler.create_job(-
job_name=>'batchfile',-
job_type=>'executable',-
job_action=>'c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe',-
number_of_arguments => 2,-
enabled=>false,-
auto_drop=>false)
exec dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('batchfile',1,'/c');
exec dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('batchfile',2,'c:\tmp\batchfile.bat');
exec dbms_scheduler.enable('batchfile')
select job_name, status, error#, actual_start_date, additional_info
from user_scheduler_job_run_details where job_name='BATCHFILE' order by actual_start_date; You might want to start with a very simple batch file.
