Using archivelog and control file from other Oracle server

I am still bothered with my backup process.
I have 2 AIX boxes (same model, say A and B); both have BAAN 5 and Oracle 10g R2 on. Right now my colleague insists to use the export pump (cold backup) from Prod Oracle server (A) to restore the Oracle server on Box B. The Prod server has the archivelog mode turn on. But it will miss any transaction data from import pump till the crash point of Box A. So this is my confusion.
Can I pass the control files and archivelog files form Box A (prod server) to Box B and use them to restore the Box B as the latest Prod server? How?
I tried to convince them to use the RMAN backup? But not successful?
I think the best way is probably to use the Oracle Data guard. However, there is always one concern to my manager and colleague, that such process will cause the data on the restored server (failover, Box B) not recognizable by the BAAN, which define the objects (tables).
Thanks

Performing a logical backup is not useful to restore to the point of failure. The only valid and available option is a hot backup/archivelog mode. Your recovery manager backup perform a controlfile and redologfile backup, so those can be restored at the destination. You must take care of the way you perform the backup, and ensure the paths where your backup is being deposited are visible by the second node. A shared storage with same mount points is suitable in this case. A tape robot configured at both nodes is also a suitable solution.
Recovery manager perfoms a controlfile and spfile restore, too. This rman command perform the action:
SET DBID <DBID of the database,for which you want to restore the controlfile>;
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM <name_of_backupiece_which_contains_the_controlfile backup>';
I don't see any problem on the recovery manager side, and technically speaking, on the Oracle side it is perfectly possible to restore your database at a remote location. I don't know what happens on the BAAN side, if you are required to have it configured to be operative on the target node. You could try to clone your database at the node B, configure BAAN and prepare the proceduere in case of failure.
Configuring a dataguard is also a recomended action. So it is to think about Cold Failed Over clusters. I have recently performed a CFC configuration with BAAN. No problem it works smoothly.

Oracle reading binary files from other oracle home.

Hi all,
I have two oracle db installed on the same server but on different oracle home.
It seems to me that the second oracle is reading the binaries from the other installation.
I can start this database and the sap instance and it starts on the correct oracle home but I see that it is reading files on the first oracle home.
for example, it saves the spfile under the first oracle_home\database directory. I started it using pfile=<the_correct_ora-home>\database\initSID.ora and set on this init.ora file the correct path for spfile.
But even after this if i change any parameter, it stills change the spfile on the wrong <oracle_home>\database.
Is there a way to fix this ? I mean to make the second oracle to see files under its own oracle home ?
It is oracle 11g under windows 2008.
Remember that all the environment variables is pointing to the correct oracle home and I can start SAP and Oracle as well on this oracle_home.
Thanks in advance,
Joao.

Hi Orkun,
No, we don't have anything else installed yet.
Please see what I found out:
Checking those binary errors I found out that the oracle service
OracleServiceDPC (the second instance on this server) is being started from the wrong oracle_home path. Please
see the path to the executables on that service properties:
g:\oracle\dnc\11202\bin\ORACLE.EXE DPC
It is pointing to the other oracle home DNC but starting instance DPC. How can I change that ?
Please see that the oracle home, the listener, etc is correct pointing
to oracle home G:\oracle\DPC\11202.
I would like to disable this service and create the correct one.
Is that possible ?
thanks and regards,
Joao

Drag and Drop files from other places to universal apps(windows store)

Hi,
Is there a possiblity to drag and drop a file from windows desktop or from other windows store app to my application. I tried searching samples, but it says about dragging an image with in the solution.
The best example is drag and drop files into recycle bin. Is there a way possible for modern app(instead of recycle bin), or give an user similar experince as the same.
If not windows8/windows8.1,could we expect in windows 10.
I believe if it is not possible with XAML/c#, the same holds good for HTML5/JS
Thanks & Regards Tejaswi Chandrapatla

No. This is not supported.

What are some active IRC (Internet Relay Chat) Channels where people can discuss Oracle related issues and seek support from other Oracle users?

I know of #Oracle on Freenode, but it isn't very active, I was hoping to find some that are more active.
Thanks,
Mansoor

IRC and the Oracle discussion forum are complete different things. One is live chat, the later is the exchange of written communication. I think the Oracle community will be your best option. It depends what you are looking for, which you did not outline. IRC is a dinosaur from the last century, which has a bad reputation in regard to security standards and hence is often blocked by corporate networks. For instance, because IRC connections are usually unencrypted and typically span long time periods, they are an attractive target for Dos/DDos attackers.

You are using a 3rd party package "ftp" and the error it is indicating suggests the issue is a network issue of some sort.

Using forms6i and reading data from MS SQL server 7

Hi!
I have been given a new task to connect to Microsoft SQL SERVER 7 with Oracle 6/6i development with ODBC and extract specific data.
I am realy stuck with this I hope some one will help me with this as soon as possible.
thanka

I did a similar thing with developer 2000 (Form 4.5) and SQL server6.5.
There are lots of things involved and there will be issues that need to be resolved in you application but you can take one thing at a time and you should be able to do it.
-First make sure that your SQL server is up and running.
-Then make a client machine that connects to SQL server.
-On the client install your Form6 or 6i.
-Install ODBC manager on your Client Machine.
-Get the Oracle ODBC driver for SQL server.
-There is a document available with developer 2000 for open data source. It should be with your Form6/6i documentation. It has got a section for connection with SQL server.
Start with this and where ever you get stuck ask away question on the forum.
Hope this help

Slow to open Illustrator and Photoshop files from FileServer

I have a client that has 5 or so Mac users who cannot open Illustrator and Photoshop files from our Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. At first, we thought it might be the size of the files over the network because some files are 2-3GB, but they are even having issues with files 200KB. We also tested network and bandwidth speeds, but they are all connected to Gigabit connections and running with PowerMacs.
Some users have a workaround by copying the files to their desktop to open, but that is becoming tedious as well.
Does anyone have another solution or know what might be cause to this?

CPS Simple File Deployer corrupts XLSX and DOCX files when copying to server. Solutions?

When Contribute Publishing Service Simple File Deployment copies XLSX and DOCX files from our staging server to the live production web server, it is corrupting them. The resulting file on the live web server is a few bytes different in size. I published a 9015-byte docx file to our staging server using Dreamweaver (or Contribute). The resulting file on the staging server opens correctly and remains 9015 bytes. Then, using CPS Simple File Deployer, I deployed the file from our staging server to our live web server. The resulting file on the live web server is 9017 bytes, and it won't open. Something similar happens with XLSX files. It works fine with XLS, DOC, Html etc. Well, there is an issue with dependent files unless I synchronize with Dreamweaver, but that's another story.
Once File Deployer has corrupted the files, opening them brings a message, such as "Excel has found unreadable content in filename.xlsx. . . ". With Word, it says "The Office Open XML file filename.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents . . . The file is corrupt and cannot be opened." Sometimes the docx files can be recovered, but that doesn't help.
When I take the same original docx file and put it on the web server with an FTP program, it remains 9015 bytes and opens successfully on the live web server.
For several reasons, such as many users updating the website with Adobe Contribute and not let them use FTP directly to the live server, we need to keep the staging server and use File Deployer (or something) to deploy the changed files from the staging server to the live website.
I read somewhere that the programming code the uploads files can have problems and fail to work properly with Office 2007 files. I don't have access to CPS's core.ctc and deployfile.cfc files, and I don't have Cold Fusion.
Any suggestions?
Dean

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

NEED TO RECOVER A DATABASE USING RMAN with CONTROL FILE AND NO RMAN CATALOG, DISK FAILURE..

Hello All,
The disk failure caused our production data on the disk to be resotred with the backup data available and recovered through RMAN with cotrolfile , and no catalog DB is configured.
I had the restored the spfile and control file then recovered the database,
startup nomount;
RESTORE SPFILE FROM ' path ' ;
Shutdown immediate;
startup nomount
Restore controfile from autobackup;
restore database;
[AT POINT , A MESSAGE PROMPTED LIKE " failur of restored command - some targets not found" (thinking may be few archives are not found, i proceeded to incomeplete recovery of DB) ]
recover database;
Finished reocvery .
Now in the Grid control i see that 60 blocks of a particular datafile are corrupted and needs recovery. Do i need to get the data file resotred again and recover it or any simple way to recover this data file
When i perform the block recovery , it says recovery failed and when i run the data file recovery it succeeds. Please provide you inputs to recover the database as it is production BI database and pretty critical to our client.
Thanks for your valuable time in advance.
Regards,
Ran G.

These is a common problem if the object are created due to NOLOGGIN option. If you check most of the object which are facing block corruption is indexes .
Use the below query to check the objects :
It will map each block from v$database_block_corruption to either a segment or if the block is free.

Oracle binary and control files

Hi All,
I want know whether the oracle binary and control files are they related in anyway.
I have my physical files on a SAN storage and my oracle binary files on a local disk.
In case if I delete my oracle binaries and restore it from a backup, will I be able to start my database without any issues.
Since all my oracle datafiles,controlfiles and redofiles are located in SAN storage.

Oracle binaries and control files are related in some way because Oracle version is recorded in control files:
oerr ora 201
00201, 00000, "control file version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s"
// *Cause: The control file was created by incompatible software.
// *Action: Either restart with a compatible software release or use
// CREATE CONTROLFILE to create a new control file that is
// compatible with this release.When restoring Oracle binaries on UNIX you should take care about setuid bits on oracle executable to avoid local connection issues by non oracle Unix accounts.

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

If I were to drag and drop files from an OSX 9 onto an external hard drive (1 TB), assuming there is still plenty of space left, will I be able to use this same external hard drive to back up my iMac (Mountain Lion)? And would it ask me if I want to initialize (thus erasing it) or eject the hard drive like the OSX 9 did?

I was trying to follow this thread because I was curious about the OS 9 installation - until I realized you have another thread going about the very same subject, albeit with a different subject line.
FWIW: it is best not to double post - things get far too confusing after a while.
