Regards,
Adnan Hamdus Salam.If your database`s last shutdown was clean(SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE) then you can open database as
1) Backup current database(take cold backup)
2) if you use pfile then edit it and UNDO_MANAGEMENT=MANUAL also if you use spfile then ALTER SYSTEM SET UNDO_MANAGEMENT=MANUAL SCOPE=SPFILE then
3)SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE and STARTUP MOUNT
4) Now ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/misc/live_tbs/undotbstest.dbf' OFFLINE DROP
5) ALTER DATABASE OPEN
After that you can create new undo tablespace and set UNDO_MANAGEMENT=AUTO

Undo tablespace recovery from RMAN backup

Hi,
Lets's assume we have RMAN backup and archivelog backups, and now
my undo tablespace's disk crashed ,how can i recover?
Can i recover while database is up?
Thanks,
Kumar.

to recover UNDO tablespace from RMAN backup you must shutdown the database and start it in the MOUNT state to recover the missing files as follows
rman target /
RUN
STARTUP MOUNT;
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch3 TYPE Disk;
RESTORE datafile 'c:\u01\prod3\undo01.dbf';
RECOVER datafile 'c:\u01\prod3\undo01.dbf';
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch3;
hope this will help you

How to recover without backup?

My ThinkPad T43 got virus, I formated it and installed Windows XP Professional. Then try to recover it to manufactury status, but can't install the Rescue and Recovery file. It says " can not find the required file for installing Rescue and Recovery, can't continue. Make sure the correct .tvt file is in the same folder where the installing package is located."
Please help! by the way, I don't have a backup file.

Hi imjscn,
I don't know what you are trying to establish here nonetheless RnR from Windows does not put thinkpad to factory settings. Only preboot RnR has this ability. If you did not delete the recovery partition wile formatting, you can subsequently recover it through following method:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-54483
Hope it helps.

Recover database after lossing system tablespace without backup

Hi
My database fail because of hardware failure and then system tablespace corrupted. other tablespaces and control files are OK. Can I recover my database without backup of system tablespace?

hi,
if you have not taken the physical backup (inconsistent or consistent) then you can not recocver it. you need to have some backup up strategy with RMAN or Manual. Do you have hardware (Disk) Mirroring to cover the media failure??
Atleast if you have the logical backups?? then create the database and import it..
Thanks

Undo tablespace currupt and no clean backup

Hello,
We are facing critical problem with database. We have not any clean backup and database in no archive log mode. Suddenly database is shutdown and when we are trying to open database it is giving error:-
ORA-01172: recovery of thread 1 stuck at block 350230 of file 3
ORA-01151: use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed
File 3 is Undo file.
Is there any way to open database?
Thanks in advance and please reply us ASAP.

1) First, follow Howardjr recomendations and allways do a backup first.
2) Open a SR with Metalink to help with your problem
3) If you want to try something here are some options, but never skip the point 1 previously explained.
Well, you have two possible scenarios, one supported other unsupported.
This is an inconsistency issue..
Solution
============
*1]Supported Solution:*
Restore-Incomplete recovery the DB from backup or rebuild the DB using an export dump.
*2]Internal (Not-supported) Solution:*
Update undo$ to change the status$ = 1 (undo segment is dropped) for the corrupted undo segment.
Caution:
This is NOT a supported solution. Therefore ensure that a full database cold backup is taken bbefore doing this data-dictionary patching.
Steps to do the patching:
1) First ensure that a full database backup is taken.
2) Modify/add the following parameters in initSID.ora:
undo_management=manual
job_queue_processes =0
aq_tm_processes=0
systemtrig_enabled=false
3) Shutdown
4) Startup restrict pfile
5) set transaction use rollback segment system;
if set transaction above fails, then not to proceed further.
6) Update undo$ to change the status$ = 1 (undo segment is dropped) for
the corrupt undo segment.
update undo$ set status$ = 1
where us# = <'undo segment id'>
and ts#=<'tablespace id'>
and file#=<'file id'>
and block# = <'block id'>
and status$=2;
or
update undo$ set status$ = 1
where name = <'corrupt undo segment name'>
and status$=2;
This will update only 1 row. Rollback the update if more than 1 row is updated.
7) Commit;
8) Shutdown abort
9) Set back in init.ora parameters modified in Step 2.
Startup restrict
10) Drop the corrupt undo tablespace using command:
drop tablespace <corrupt undo tablespace name> including contents;
11) Create new undo tablespace.
In initSID.ora, set undo_management=auto, undo_tablespace=<'new undo tablespace name'>
Restart the instance.
12) Take a backup.
*Parameter offlinerollback_segments is not useful:*
Trying to drop the corrupt undo segment or the undo tablespace by setting parameters undo management=manual and offline_rollback_segments in initSID.ora will fails with error: ORA-00600 [ktssdrp1].
To see the information about the corrupt block use this query:
select us#, name, ts#, file#, block#,status$ from undo$
where (ts#, file#, block#) not in
(select ts#, file#, block# from seg$ where type# in (1,10)) and status$ > 1;I had the same problem some time ago, and the unsupported solution works great, but never try it without a full backup first.

Recover Database without backup

Hi Joel,
I have read most of your postings regarding database recovery, but still encounter problems.
The background is: Our NT server was crashed last weekend, due to harddisk failure. We are able to retrieve back all the datafile, control file, everything in tact. But after recovery, the OS fails to recognize the ORacle and require reinstallation. We don't know how to re-associate this new instance of Oracle with the old databases that we have created.
I did create a new DB in the new instance, copy back the datafiles, control files to replace it, and run the recreate control file command that you have suggested. At the very final step, when doing recovery, it shows this message:
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery

O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
---Tried a search on the machine, but failed to find such file.
How can I proceed from here?
Thanks and regards,
Suhandy

if the datafile does not contains tables that are needed for some application , or not belong to system,sysaux tablespace , offline datafile can be some solution.
To recover a datafile without backup you need alll the archives from the date that the datafile is created.
Please make a procedure for backup
A sample backup script can be founded http://mikegeorgiou.blogspot.com/2007/04/user-manage-backup-9i.html

Backup/restore of undo tablespace

Hi,
from backup basic doc:
"You should not have to concern yourself with undo segments or manage
them directly as part of your backup and recovery process. "
Does this mean that undo tablespaces need not be or should not be backed up? And in the same vein, there is no point in restoring them as well. Right?
Thanks,
Raghu.

Agreed, but what if a user drop a table and you can not live without it, then you need to perform incomplete recovery and it requires you to restore all the datafiles including undo datafile. And if you do not include the undo tablespace in your backup stratigies, then you run out of options. Anyways, In any case , I would strictly include undo tablespace in my backup policy.

yes it is a datafile corruptionYou did not say how you defined that's a datafile corruption. You provide minimum to zero information.
I just need to bring the database up,no need any exact data
I can refresh from prod laterThen drop and recreate database. Basically and since you are not in archive mode, no recover is possible. Period.
Nicolas.Hi,
How did you come to the conclusion that your datafile is corrupted? Can you provide and supported logs?

Hi Forstmann,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have temp tablespace and see the below output.
SQL> select name from v$tempfile;

Which means i do not have any temp file to temp tablespace.
How do i can create tempfile in standby?.In what following states i can create,
1) MOUNT ( Recovery mode canceled)
2) READ ONLY
3) opened after FAILOVER
4) At any stage i can
My client is planning to check the DR server by doing FAILOVER.After that will create standby database again from primary.
Thanks,

UNDO Tablespace backup- RMAN

Hi Team/champions,
I am confused in RMAN full DB backup why UNDO tablespce is included even we include the archive logs also.
in Short ?
why UNDO tablespace backup is required while taking RMAN backup ?
Regards,
Shitesh Shukla

if I dont want to include the UNDO tablespce in my backup
what if I took only database files backup excluding TEMP n UNDONOT an option. You have to include UNDO. 11g has optimization for backing up an Undo tablespace.
In 10gR2 what you could do is
1. Create a New Undo Tablespace
2. Switch to the new Undo Tablespace
3. verify that the Old Undo Tablespace is no longer in use -- confirm that there are no active transactions in undo segments in it
4. drop the old Undo tablespace
5. Run your RMAN Backup
You run the risks of
a. Waiting a long time at step 3
b. ORA-1555s for users after you drop the Undo tablespace in step 4.

With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any help!
Xueyu

Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.
