URGENT - RMAN restore help needed

Hi,
I have inherited an Oracle 9i system ( 9.2.x ) that needs to have a RMAN based backup from it restored onto a different oracle server of the same version.
Thanks so much for your assistance on this.
I also forgot to mention we run Oracle on a windows 2003 server.
Well we have asubdirectory called Rman, so i figured thats whats doing the work.
The output from the backup is :
- In the exp directory :
one .dmp file
- In the Rman directory, 4 files per nightly backup, which have the format of :
<dbname>_<date>S<4 digit numer that increments each backup>P1
<dbname>_<date>S<4 digit numer that increments each backup>P2
<dbname>_<date>S<4 digit numer that increments each backup>P1
<dbname>_<date>S<4 digit numer that increments each backup>P1
On another drive I have found :
- seven .DBF files
- one .CTL file
One another drive I found :
- one .ARC file
- one .CTL file
- REDO01.LOG,REDO02.LOG,REDO03.LOG files
I also found the script that runs :
rman target / catalog xxusernamexx/xxpasswordxx@PRD_DBA01 @D:\DBA\dbaadm\scr\RmanFull.rcv >> %logfile%
Where Rmanfull.rvc is as shown below :
DELETE NOPROMPT FORCE BACKUPSET COMPLETED BEFORE 'sysdate-8' DEVICE TYPE disk;
DELETE NOPROMPT FORCE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'sysdate-8' BACKED UP 2 TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE disk;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 VALIDATE database PLUS archivelog;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 TAG 'XXXXXXXX-Current' database PLUS archivelog NOT BACKED UP 2 TIMES;
BACKUP DEVICE TYPE disk TAG 'XXXXXXX-BkupSet' BACKUPSET COMPLETED BETWEEN "TO_DATE(TRUNC(sysdate-1))" AND "TO_DATE(TRUNC(sysdate))" FORMAT 'D:\ORABackup\%d\Rman\%d_%T_s%s_p%p' DELETE INPUT;
RESTORE VALIDATE database;
RESTORE VALIDATE controlfile TO 'D:\ORABackup\Null\control.ctl';
RESTORE VALIDATE spfile TO 'D:\ORABackup\Null\spfile.ctl';
I have put in XXXXXXXX to blank out some names.
I will do some reading, however what are your thoughts as to what this means for how I would do a restore of this database please? Not being lazy here, as I understand it oracle databases can get complex in configuration etc which is why i decided to ask people who do this all the time for a bit of guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

Edited by: user11915486 on 17/09/2009 22:37Hi and welcome to Forum!
I'd suggest you firstly to refer to [Administrators Guide documentation |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/toc.htm] - to have basic knowledge of Oracle database and file types. Without having this knowledge, you will not be a successful DBA
Let's analyze the script:
DELETE NOPROMPT FORCE BACKUPSET COMPLETED BEFORE 'sysdate-8' DEVICE TYPE disk;
It deletes backupsets which completed before 8 days before (From disk, not from tape)
DELETE NOPROMPT FORCE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'sysdate-8' BACKED UP 2 TIMES TO DEVICE TYPE disk;
Deletes all archived redo log files which were backed up two times and completed before 8 days
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 VALIDATE database PLUS archivelog;
Validates (not backups- just checks whether this script will run successfully ) the backup of database with all archived redo log files
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 TAG 'XXXXXXXX-Current' database PLUS archivelog NOT BACKED UP 2 TIMES;
Backups Incremental level 0 backup of all database (which backups all the database with incremental option which will be used in the future when you'll take incremental 1 backups) and archived redo log files which not backed up 2 times and give it special Tag name to use it in the future just providing only tag name
BACKUP DEVICE TYPE disk TAG 'XXXXXXX-BkupSet' BACKUPSET COMPLETED BETWEEN "TO_DATE(TRUNC(sysdate-1))" AND "TO_DATE(TRUNC(sysdate))" FORMAT 'D:\ORABackup\%d\Rman\%d_%T_s%s_p%p' DELETE INPUT;
Backups all backupsets wich completed in 1 day (between yesterday and today) and gives it specific name and deletes original backupsets
RESTORE VALIDATE database;
Checks restoration of database (whether it is successful or not)
RESTORE VALIDATE controlfile TO 'D:\ORABackup\Null\control.ctl';
Checks restoration of controlfile
RESTORE VALIDATE spfile TO 'D:\ORABackup\Null\spfile.ctl';
Check restoration of spfile As a conclusion, I'd suggest you to refer to [Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Basics - 10g Release 2 (10.2)|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm] documentation to understand basics of RMAN Backup and Recovery

  • Restore help needed please.

    I need help. I got a new iPhone today and I went to iTunes, pressed restore, because I didn't know what else to do.
    And now because it was logged in under my boyfriends apple ID my iPhone is my boyfriends iPhone too.
    How do I turn it back to mine!? I need urgent help please!

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents and Settings. Now this time, select Set Up as New iPhone rather than Restore from Backup.

  • Time Machine Restore Help Needed

    Hello All,
    I replaced my hard drive and restored from Time Machine.
    I have a MacBook Pro that just missed the age barrier for Mountain Lion, so I have the latest Lion - 10.7.4.
    Now that my laptop is more or less back in shape, I cannot play music in iTunes, the message says can't find originals. I have tried restoring the Music file again, but to no avail.
    As well, my Mail is messed up. It has been running for 2 hours now with the message "Importing Mailbox . . ."
    Alas, iPhoto cannot locate my pictures.
    I need help. When I backed up to Time Machine before all this happened, everything had backed up and was working. I clicked ctrl R to begin the back up.
    HELP - I am not sure what to do. I havn't had the heart to check my videos!! As well, my budget spreadsheet in excel was an original document when it was backed up, not it is an 'alias' and I am getting the message that the original cannot be found.
    Thanks to all who can offer some guidance - this is way to stressful.
    Clint

    Well, iPhoto and Mail are back to normal. But for the life of me, the following are still giving grief - ANY SUGGESTIONS would be welcome:

    unfortunately if its not working you need a update from apple or a update from the manufacturer there has been a lot of complaints about car stereos not working with the iPhone 4 and it def has something to do with the software that apple is shipping there is no magic application or magic setting that is going to change this sorry

  • Urgent...Help Needed.1. Helper Class 2. Connection Pool

    Hello,
    1. There are few helper classes which has to be
    shared b/w session and entity beans. But it
    seems,state of the object is not transfered to entity
    bean though the class has implemented Serializable
    interface. I have archived all the helper class and
    copied to j2ee\home\lib directory. The same jar file
    is made accessible to server via updating <library-
    path> in j2ee/home/config/application.xml file.
    2. How can i utilise connection pooling in oc4j. In data-sources.xml, i am using
    "OracleConnectionPoolDataSource" class. But i feel that connection pool is not utilised coz server hangs in the middle of the retrieval.
    The value of max-connections is 50.
    We are actually migrating from Weblogic 5.1.0 to Oracle 9i AS. In weblogic, we had given 10 max connections in weblogic.properties,it is working fine. But i dont understand why it is not working in 9i AS though the max-connections is 50.
    Kindly let me know the solution at the earliest as it is very urgent to get the program running...
    Thanx and Regards,
    Achyuth

    Hi,
    hopefully I can help you.
    1. There are few helper classes which has to be ...We have just the same constellation. We have put the HelperClasses in the
    J2EE/home/lib dir, NOT specifying it in the application.xml. So everything works fine.
    The only thing: never, again: never put these files within WEB-INF and the lib-dir.
    With the HelperClasses in both we have only faced massive problems, mostly ClasCastExceptions.
    We had once all the helperClasses within J2EE/home/applications/lib, but this requires to
    specify this dir within the orion-application.xml within the appl dir in applications-deployment.
    It also worked fine.
    2. How can i utilise connection pooling in oc4j. In data-sources.xml, i am using ...I'm not sure of this, but I think, the container handles Connection Pooling, no matter what Factory you
    specify. But I think, the Class hasn't to be OracleConnectionPool ... but I have to check this (right now
    I have no access to our datasource.xml ..)

  • Restore Help Needed!!!

    Can someone please tell me why when I restore my ipod to the factory settings that while it is updating it keeps taking memory from the ipod. Meaning it started off with 4.7GB and every minute or so it goes down and this is not music loading on it, just keeps updating. Any help will be much appreciated.

    I do not understand the reason behind, but if I were you I would do a Format follow by a Restore instead of just a Restore.

    PLease reply as soon as possible.
    iwapsms

    for the html-part there are several html-parser, that bould whole parsetrees, which you can traverse (walk) through as you whish. just check google for it (something like: java html parser).
    if that xml you have there is in String-form, just use a Filewriter
    BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter (new FileWriter (new File ("FilePath/filename.xml")));
    writer.write (xmlString);
    writer.close();however, if you have to juggle xml tags, content and attributes a lot, i'd recomend jdom to construct the xml and saxParser to write it.
    again jsut google for it.

  • Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

    i owned a N900 (now sold out)
    before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
    now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
    1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
    2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
    urgent help needed
    thanks in advance

    The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
    You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

  • URGENT HELP NEEDED - iPhone 3Gs no longer detected or charged by MacBook

    My iPhone 3Gs (3.1) has been running fine, until several hours ago today, when I plugged it to my MacBook, the iPhone is no longer detected - it doesn't show up in iTunes, nor it is charged. I tried opening iPhoto, and it wasn't there too. Not with Image Capture too. I tried charging it using the out-of-box wall charger using the same out-of-box USB cable I use for MacBook, and it can be charged without any problem. Then I put it into Recovery mode, and there iTunes can see it. I don't want to restore it before I figure out exactly what went wrong, as I don't want the restore process somehow gets stuck in the middle that the connection is lost again.
    I've tried reinstalled iTunes, including completely removal of Apple Mobile Device Support, as instructed by Apple. But still no luck.
    I've tried switching to another USB port of my MacBook. No luck.
    My iTunes is the latest 9.0.1, and my Mac OSX is 10.6.1. My iPhone is on 3.1, upgraded from 3.0.
    I've read from web that it seems I'm not the only one out there having this problem. But none of them seem having any real working solution.
    Urgent help needed & appreciated. Millions of thanks in advance.
    Gary

    1. I used both cables - theirs & mine ... and on several macs
    2. yes, same cable for wall & mac
    3. as said, i did completely remove & install itunes (incl. apple mobile device support), as instructed on the apple webpage
    anyway, did a restore just now. it seems okay now. but the problem is i have no idea what cause this, and i can't replicate the problem. so i don't know when it will happen again ... maybe a bug with os 3.1 ... others on web said os 3.1 is quite buggy ...
