Unix Cold Backup To Windows Machine

Is it possible to restore a cold backup of 9.2 oracle to a windows operating system.
My problem is, i have a cold backup and i want to restore just one datafile ..

It's NOT possible to restore Unix cold bacup of Oracle database to Windows machine. You HAVE to restore it on the same OS

Using tar with zip for Datafiles backup on windows machine

Dear all,
We have R12 e business suite instance on windows.
I was implementing cold backup for this. Unfortunately i am not a windows guy.
I do have MKS tools installed on my windows machine, which contains the tar command.
Can i use tar -cvzf <bkp>.tgz <location of datafiles> for this?, My main concern is, is it going to harm the source like corruption etc..
Thanks

If MKS tools are supported under Windows it should not corrupt input files whether input files are Oracle database files or any other Windows files.
You could try instead to use RMAN for cold backup if you have already RMAN experience:
- RMAN does not backup empty blocks
- RMAN can also compress backups
- RMAN is fully supported on Windows if corresponding Oracle version is certified on your Windows server.
See an example of cold backup for database running in NOARCHIVELOG mode in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmquick.htm#BRADV90059.
If your database runs in ARCHIVELOG mode just backup your database online: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmquick.htm#i766544.

Rebuild from cold backup on windows

Greetings,
Our Db was destroyed. We have a new machine now, and I have loaded the OS ( windows NT ), and the Db software ( Oracle 9i ). I have a cold backup of the old database that I would like to use to get the old system back. Where can I find documentation explaing the required steps to getting the Database back on line ( on Windows as a service )using a cold backup?
Any help or advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
If the location of the files didn't change reconstructing the database instance from coldbackup takes just few steps
1.) Create an instance
Oradim ânew âsid testdb -mode a
2.) Connect to the instance
Sqlplus /nolog
Connect / as sysdba Ã
3.) Start the database
Startup pfile=localtion to inti.ora
Let us know your case details and I would perhaps be able to help. I experienced the same problem and successfully rebuilt the database

Cold Backup on windows Server

Hi All;
OS: Windows
DB: 10.2.0.3
I am trying to schedule a cold backup, I was wondering if I can just down the oracle database service and then directly copy the files using copy command and post the completion of copy of the files I will up the oracle services.
Will this method work I cannot test the same as I do not have access to the server right now.
Regards,
Sphinx

Yes you can, by default stopping the service will execute a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE. To check this, look at the registry keys named something like
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWN
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWNTYPE
and you'll see the settings.

Restoring time machine backup to windows machine

Hey. Just asking a general question. My Imac was stolen but I had made a time machine restore approximately 2 weeks prior to the incident. Unfortunately I was unable to afford to replace my Imac and purchased a windows 8 machine instead. Is there a way to restore the Time Machine backup to Win8. I just want to extract my pictures and music and documents. Thank you very much.

So, You're saying I can do this from a different computer with its own Time Machine?
In other words, I have my Time Machinedrive from the dead iMac and a fresh, formatted drive both hooked up to an unrelated computer with its own Time Machine.
If I enter Time Machine on that computer won't it show me the data it backs up for that computer only?
Will Time Machine know that there are two Time Machine backups (the one from the iMac and the one from the new host machine), and allow me to select the one from the iMac?

Cold backup on New instance

Hi,
Our client has provided us with the cold Backup (the file system) of the pre-prod system which runs Oracle 9.2.0.8.0 on HP-Unix.
We want to restore this backup on Windows machine.
Can anybody provide help or some document which can guide us through the steps to setup new instance to restore the cold backup ?
Is this the same as creating standby system ?
Thanks a lot :)

>> we are trying to re-create the database to use the available backup. I think this is a somewhat like creating a standby database (without continuous synchronization)
In that case, you can not utilize your cold backup on Windows machine at all, Until and unless you have the same OS, you can not prepare the standby database.
Please read the below URL for requirements for deploying Standby.

AUTOMATING COLD BACKUP ON NT

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2003-08-04
Automating cold backup on NT
============================
unix에서는 cron 이라는 것을 이용해서 주기적으로 데이타베이스를 원하는 시점에
shutdown 시킨 후 cold backup 을 할수 있다.
그렇다면 nt에서는 어떻게 이런 작업을 수행해 줄 수 있을까.
여기서는 이렇게 주기적으로 database 를 cold backup받는 방법에 관해서 설명
하고자 한다.
데이타베이스 환경은 다음과 같이 가정한다.
ORACLE_HOME = c:\ORANT
ORACLE_SID = ORCL
데이타화일들은 c:\ORANT\DATABASE 디렉토리에 존재한다.
cold backup을 schedule하기 위해서는 windows NT의 AT scheduler utility 가
필요하며
이것의 GUI version은 windows NT의 Resource Kit에 포함되어 있다.
우선은 NT scheduler service가 동작하고 있는지 확인해야 한다.
확인 방법은 NT 제어판을 열고 Service icon을 더블 클릭하여 schedule service가
동작하고 있으며 automatic인지 확인한다.
그러면 schedule 방법을 다음과 같이 정리하였다.
1. 만약 command line scheduler를 사용하고 있다면 다음과 같은 작업을 해준다.
backup.bat라는 batch file 을 만들어서 다음과 같은 내용을 입력한다.
call c:\orant\bin\svrmgr23.exe command="@c:\shutdown.sql"
copy c:\orant\database\*orcl.ora c:\backup
call c:\orant\bin\svrmgr23.exe command="@c:\startup.sql"
backup을 schedule 한다.
NT의 command prompt(Dos prompt)에서 다음과 같은 형식으로 입력한다.
AT time "C:\backup.bat"
eg. C:\> at 14:45 "c:\backup.bat"
2. SHUTDOWN.SQL SCRIPT를 다음과 같이 만들어 준다.
connect internal/password
shutdown immediate
exit
3. STARTUP.SQL SCRIPT를 다음과 같이 만들어 준다.
connect internal/password
startup pfile=C:\ORANT\DATABASE\INITORCL.ORA
exit
이상과 같이 해주면 원하는 시간에 db를 cold backup 받을 수 있을 것이다.
Reference Documents
<Note:74981.1>

You must cleanly shutdown database before proceeding with a cold consistent backup, otherwise you compromise database integrity, so recoverability.
By clean shutdown I mean Normal, Transactional or Immediate, never abort. The point is that the last transaction must properly be recorded by the last checkpoint, and no recovery process is required. Additionally, a clean shutdown guarantees consistency acrorss all datafiles.

Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ

Hello friends,
My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
I am getting error in this line
workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
Error message : input file not found.
Thanks in advance..

You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:

How do I retrieve bookmarks and passwords from a Windows backup, after OS re-install?I have a full Windows backup of my machine, pre re-installl

I had to reinstall Vista 7 OS. I have a full Windows backup of my machine, prior to the re-installation. How do I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords from the backup? I understand they're stored in various files a ".default" folder in C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\mozilla\firefox\profiles. When I try restoring the folder, the files get skipped... When I try browsing for the individual files, I don't see them!

Many thanks for your responses... After a little scouting on the web, I have found THE solution... This is all due to the way Windows 7 Backup works, and will NOT let restore apps...
("File restore in Windows7 is not designed to restore back applications. This is because the application state is spread across potentially multiple folders, files & registry. Windows7 file backup is not aware of where all the state is spread to be able to restore the entire application accurately as such information is internal to the application. Restoring application partially might corrupt the application and render the application unusable. So we do not allow restoring applications from file backup.
In case files under C:\Program Files etc. are chosen for restoring, we block restoring files from backup to such locations as it might cause the applications to not function.'')
What one has to do when restoring is to NOT attempt to restore to the original location, but to select the radio button which allows you to type a path where you want the files restored and type in the path of the original location!!! Then select copy and replace...A little quirky (and tedious), but it works!

Issue with Time Machine backup to Windows 7

My problem is tough to search for as the keywords are common for other issues, so excuse me if this is something that's already been answered.
I want to use Time Machine to back up my MBP onto a folder inside a partition of a harddrive on my windows 7 machine. This partition is exclusively for backups; there are 2 disk images that are backups of partitions on my windows machine and that is all.
I created a folder for the backup i was about to create of my Mac. I followed these instructions for networking and sharing settings: http://hciguy.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/using-time-machine-to-backup-your-mac-to- an-ntfs-drive-over-the-network-running-win-7/
Everything seemed to be in order. Finder was able to connect to and mount the folder I made for the backups. Then I noticed something frustrating. The files that the instructions said I should copy to the windows folder appeared in Windows Explorer, but Finder thought that that directory was EMPTY. I created a folder using Finder to see what would happen to it, and it disappeared before I could name it. It appeared in Windows Explorer, however, where I deleted it.
This is not an issue of hidden files; I already explored that theory. Also, I think that this issue is what keeps Time Machine from failing its backups. The error that TM keeps giving is related to the username and password, but I am using the correct windows login and password, as I did to connect to the volume initially.
Thanks in advance

I would suggest posting this exact question to the OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard or OSX 10.5 Leopard forums. In each there is a subforum on Time Machine. Those people there are experts on TM. whenever I have an issue on TM, I get answers literally minutes after posting. They are good. You will find that many users specialize in certain forums. I will see different names in each one.
Any ways, post the link to the thread in the Time Machine forum here, so that anyone sees this, knows to go over there.
I'm pretty good at TM, but I have no clue how to answer your question. I think you're using competing operating systems, and they're having a war. Metaphorically.

Time Machine "Delete Backup" Status window

Hey all,
I am trying to delete an old backup inside Time Machine - did the old-fasioned way by "conjuring" the time machine with the stacked Finder windows on a starfield.
I arrowed up to the oldest backup and on the Action (with the gear symbol) dropdown I selected "Delete Backup". I get a confirmation prompt to "delete the selected backup" and I hit "Yes". Then.... where is the "Delete Backup" status window?
I know "delete backup" would take a while just like the backup process - however , at least we see the backup status on the Time Machine Preferences window. It seems like the Time Machine Preference window only shows the backup status. Could someone share how we could bring up the "Delete Backup" status window?
Thanks!

Unfortunately (or fortunately) the delete backup had completed by the time I saw this message
I went back to the Time Machine starfield windows and I no longer see the oldest backup (I noted down the date of the oldest backup).
Next time when I do another "delete backup" I'll look for that "spinning gear at the bottom right" as you indicated.   I assume that is a "hovering" spinning gear that is separate from the desktop dock?   If you have a screenshot (its ok if you don't) that would be great - thanks again for the reply. This will help anyone who might be looking for the same answer as I am.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you
