What is Database Incarnations in rman ?

hi all
What is incarnation in rman , what is the use of it.....
tell me in simple words, i googled it i did not get exactly what it means...
Regards,
Vamsi,

'Incarnation' literally means 'became flesh'. So 'was born'. And there is nothing before birth.
You can also compare it with crossing a wooden bridge over a ravine (what you always see in cartoons like 'Speedy Gonzales'), after you have crossed, the bridge collapses, and there is no way back. That is incarnation too.
During alter database open resetlogs, the logsequence of the database is reset, this is an incarnation (act of birth) and without RMAN there is no way of going back to a previous incarnation.
You will have an incarnation when the database is created and every time you use resetlogs. RMAN allows you to reset the database to a 'previous incarnation'.

RMAN and database incarnations

In experimenting with RMAN, I got our team into a situation where a test database would not restore and recover. I performed an incomplete recovery, opened resetlogs, and without performing a backup, did the same thing again.
In any case, we started reading up on how to return to a previous database incarnation. We're not using a Recovery Catalog w RMAN, but 10g has been enhanced so that the control file now tracks db incarnations.
We set the db incarnation back 2 previous, and then performed:
RMAN> restore database until "to_date('9/2/04 23:59:59','mm/dd/yy hr24:mi:ss');
RMAN> recover database until "to_date('9/2/04 23:59:59','mm/dd/yy hr24:mi:ss');
and all seems well.
I have 2 questions:
1) Was the return back 2 incarnations really necessary? It seems like the database would've considered the 2 lines above an incomplete recovery and restore/recovered anyway.
2) Do I need to manually remove the archive logs created for incarnations 3 & 4, or will RMAN know that they are not applicaable? And how does it know they're inapplicable, if so? The incarnation?
Thanks for reading this looong question,

Problem in performing multiple Point-In-Time Database Recovery using RMAN

Hello Experts,
I am getting an error while performing database point in time recovery multiple times using RMAN. Details are as follows :-
Environment:
Oracle 11g, ASM,
Database DiskGroups : DG_DATA (Data files), DG_ARCH(Archive logs), DG_REDO(Redo logs Control file).
Snapshot DiskGroups :
Snapshot1 (taken at 9 am): SNAP1_DATA, SNAP1_ARCH, +SNAP1_REDO
Snapshot2 (taken at 10 am): SNAP2_DATA, SNAP2_ARCH, +SNAP2_REDO
Steps performed for point in time recovery:
1. Restore control file from snapshot 2.
     RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE from '+SNAP2_REDO/orcl/CONTROLFILE/Current.256.777398261';
2. For 2nd recovery, reset incarnation of database to snapshot 2 incarnation (Say 2).
3. Catalog data files from snapshot 1.
4. Catalog archive logs from snapshot 2.
5. Perform point in time recovery till given time.
     STARTUP MOUNT;
     RUN {
          SQL "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = ''dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss''";
          SET UNTIL TIME "06-mar-2013 09:30:00";
          RESTORE DATABASE;
          RECOVER DATABASE;
          ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Results:
Recovery 1: At 10.30 am, I performed first point in time recovery till 9:30 am, it was successful. Database incarnation was raised from *2* to *3*.
Recovery 2: At 11:10 am, I performed another point in time recovery till 9:45 am, while doing it I reset the incarnation of DB to *2*, it failed with following error :-
Starting recover at 28-FEB-13

Doubts:
1. Why did recovery failed 2nd time, but not 1st time and why is RMAN looking for online redo log group_1.257.807150859 in 2nd recovery ?
3. I tried restoring control file from AutoBackup, in that case both 1st and 2nd recovery succeeded.
However for this to work, I always need to keep the AutoBackup feature enabled.
How reliable is control file AutoBackup ? Is there any alternative to using AutoBackup, can I restore control file from snapshot backup only ?
4. If I restore control file from AutoBackup, then from what point of time/SCN does RMAN restores the control file ?
Please help me out in this issue.
Thanks.

Hello experts,
I'm little newbie to RMAN recovery. Please help me in these doubts:
1. If I have datafiles, archive logs & control files backup, but current online REDO logs are lost, then can I perform incomplete database recovery ?yes, if you have backups of everything else
2. Till what maximum time/scn can incomplete database recovery be performed ??Assuming the only thing lost is the redo logs, you can recover to the last scn in the last archivelog.
3. What is role of online REDO logs in incomplete database recovery ? They provide the final redo changes - the ones that have not been written to archivelogs
Are they required for incomplete recovery ?It depends on how much incomplete recovery you need to do.
Think of all of your changes as a constant stream of redo information. As a redolog fills, it is copied to archive, then (eventually) reused. over time, your redo stream is in archivelog_1, continuing into archvivelog_2, then to 3, and eventually, when you get to the last archivelog, into the online redo. A recovery will start with the oldest necessary point in the redo stream and continue forward. Whether or not you need the online redo for a PIT recovery depends on how far forward you need to recover.
But you should take every precaution to prevent loss of online redo logs .. starting with having multiple members in each redo group ... and keeping those multiple members on physically separate disks.

Deleting old incarnation through RMAN

Hi All,
Could you please let me know how to delete old incranation and the backups related to that incarnation from RMAN for a particular database in Oracle 9i.
Regards
Harpreet Singh

Hi,
Thanks all for your help. I have achieved what I was looking for. I have deleted all the backups from the recovery catalog, according to you retention policy and also removed the unwanted incarnations from the recovery catalog. This is what I did:-
crosscheck backup of database completed before 'sysdate - 35';
crosscheck backup of archivelog all completed before 'sysdate -35';
report obsolete recovery window of 35 days device type 'sbt';
delete force noprompt obsolete recovery window of 35 days device type 'sbt';
delete backup of database completed before 'sysdate-35';
delete backup of archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-35';
And then to remove the incarnations from the RMAN by logging in the RMAN database with the onwer of the recovery catalog:-
RMAN> Delete from dbinc where dbinc_key=< dbinc_key>;
MAY BE THIS CAN HELP SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Manual said:
DB Key- When combined with the Inc Key, the unique key by which RMAN identifies the database incarnation in the recovery catalog. Use this key to unregister a database from a recovery catalog, that is, delete all the rows associated with that database from the recovery catalog.
INC Key- When combined with DB Key, the unique key by which RMAN identifies the database incarnation in the recovery catalog. Use this key in RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION when recovering the database to a time before the most recent RESETLOGS.
<<http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10643/rcmsynta027.htm#CHDGGAFF>>
recovery-catalog and control file-catalog is a catalog of different, So not match.

Database Incarnation

Hi all
Does it matter whether after a database incarnation has been made that there are files from both incarnations around? I performed a test recovery from tape, basically all files that could be used to recover, to a test server, and performed an Oracle (full database) suggested recovery. It worked, but in the aftermath, there are archivelogs with different database incarnation number, and redo logs with differerent incarnation number. I understand that the database is essentially a 'new database' as far as creation is considered.
Thanks, David

Hi Nicolas
Yes, I was actually doing a restore from one machine to another so the incarnation was different. My confusion was about whether having files with different incarnation numbers around made a difference; logically it can't - except for maybe my suspicion. The restore was an OEM rman suggested recovery; don't think it did resetlogs. It was a total (all files) recovery.
Thanks, David

Hi Werner,
I tried some experiments to find out the Relationship between current incarnations & Backups !
Here is a listing 2 hours before with the incarnation 460:

What is "database.sqlite3"? It's keeping me from deleting my trash.

What is "database.sqlite3"? It's keeping me from empting my trash can.

Hello:
I have no clue how you got that on your computer - it is not installed by OS X.
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/sqlite3
In any event, try emptying the trash while holding the option key down.
I use a little utility called "Cocktail" for really tough trash problems (be careful if you use Cocktail, it has very powerful capabilities).

Create a database from 8i RMAN backup

Hi,
I am in need to recover some historic data from a historic database's RMAN backup.
The situation is ... I have one old RMAN backup of a 8i database which includes datafiles, archivellog files and control files. Init.ora file is also available.
I have installed the 8i software in a host and created the oracle service through ORADIM and pwd file through ORAPWD utility. Then copied the init.ora file under 'C:\Oracle\ADMIN\ORCL\PFILE' and the RMAN backup files under 'C:\Oracle\Ora81\DATABASE' folder.
Now I can start the instance with the init.ora file but can not mount as control files are not there. when I try to restore the control files through RMAN as...
RMAN> run
2> {
3> restore controlfile;
4> }
RMAN-03022: compiling command: restore
RMAN-03022: compiling command: IRESTORE
RMAN-03026: error recovery releasing channel resources

RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: IRESTORE
RMAN-06172: not connected to recovery catalog database
RMAN>
Now without the catalog database how can I restore the control files and the database from the RMAN backup?
I think the old RMAN metadata was stored in catalog database.
Any suggestion please?
regards

Sorry I wrongly said that I do not have the DBID, I have DBID but I have controlfile backup as RMAN backupset, not in Binary. So even if I set DBID, RMAN asks for the catalog database, which is not available.
As I worked...

Physical Standby Database Creation with RMAN

Hi,
I'm in 10g on Linux. I want to create a standby database on another Linux server. I did not find a clear procedure to create it in Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) Part Number B14191-02
and niether in Oracle® Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10g Release 2 (10.2) B14239-04
In the last one chapter 3 sends you to F appendix and F appendix says do nothing before having than all in chapter 3 :
In F.1.1 page F-2 it is said :
See Chapter 3 for a complete discussion of physical standby database preparation,including initialization parameter settings. You must perform all necessary preparation tasks described in these chapters before RMAN can successfully create the standby database files and mount the standby database.
Any way I'm looking for a procedure or clear article to create it.
Many thanks before.

Problems doing an active Database duplication through RMAN

Hi,
I'm trying to do active Database duplication through RMAN (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/rcmdupdb.htm#).
My OS is Sun Solaris 5
Oracle version: 11gR1 Database on a 11gR2 Grid.
I'm receiving the error
RMAN> connect auxiliary sys/sys@rac402
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections
I'm seeing the listeners are in blocked state as mt auxiliary Database is in nomount state.
Service "rac40" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
Service "rac40_XPT" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "rac402", status BLOCKED, has 1 handler(s) for this service...
If I connect directly, I'm able to connect ("connect auxiliary / " after setting ORACLE_SID)
But active RMAN is saying
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 06/18/2012 01:37:14
RMAN-06217: not connected to auxiliary database with a net service name (I don't know why Oracle is so specific in connecting through net service name only!!!)
So, how could I move forward?? any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
CSM
