Where is the official Oracle documentation that describes Hot Backup?

I have used the woefully inadequate Metalink search utilities and Google but the nearest thing I have found is a description on "Ask Tom".
I am looking for the official Oracle documentation that describes what happens internally during a Hot Backup. There are a lot of web sites and blogs out there that describe it but I am looking for the description from Oracle themselves. The only things I have found in the Oracle documentation so far is how to start and stop Hot Backup but not what happens internally. Preferably 11gR2 if it makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks mseberg. This is what I was looking for. I had read this manual before but apparently glossed over this paragraph:
"When performing a user-managed online backup, you must place your datafiles into
backup mode with the ALTER DATABASE or ALTER TABLESPACE statement with the
BEGIN BACKUP clause. When a tablespace is in backup mode, the database writes the
before image for an entire block to the redo stream before modifying a block. The
database also records changes to the block in the online redo log. Backup mode also
freezes the data file checkpoint until the file is removed from backup mode. Oracle
Database performs this safeguard because it cannot guarantee that a third-party
backup tool copies the file header before copying the data blocks."
Hot backup is still quite useful and Rman doesn't cover all cases. What we are doing with it is using storage-based replication (Shadow Image) to another set of LUNS which we then mount on another server and backup using Rman. This removes the overhead of Rman on the Production Database server and extends our backup window to almost 24 hours.

  • Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution?

    Where is the official documentation for Wireless OTA Enterprise App Distribution? It used to be here:
    http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/FA_Wireless_Enterprise_ App_Distribution/Introduction/Introduction.html
    The above link is present in many posts in these forums (cf. More Like This below this question.
    The information I seek may also have been here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=answerlink&url=http://manuals.info.apple. com/en_US/Enterprise_Deployment_Guide.pd…
    The article in question had official details on
    the itms-services:// link,
    the app manifest file format and
    the general information.
    Currently I cannot find anything official on enterprise app distribution - only third party information. Has something changed, or is this a documentation glitch? Surely wireless OTA enterprise app distribution is still available via the enterprise developer program?
    Note: We currently use this for one of our enterprise clients. But before recommending other clients to join the enterprise developer program, we would like an official citation on whether this mechanism still exists.

    OK, the link in my question is no longer a 404. It's been replaced by a redirect to a new iOS Enterprise Deployment subsite which has been remade for iOS 8.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/it/deployment.html
    My actual question about the technical reference is now located in the iOS Deployment Reference section of Apple Help:

  • Where is the resources section now that was in this site now?

    Where is the resources section now that was in this site, which included various videos, books, tutorials or sources of them to learn about Eclipse

    Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload, Stop, & Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar. Only one function is ever active at any one time, so combining them save UI space was a good idea. When a page is loading, it is a "Stop" button, when it finished loading, it turns into a "Reload" button, and when you start to type something into the Location bar it turns into a "Go" button.
    To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
    * Open the "View > Toolbars > '''Customize'''" window or right-click a vacant area on a Toolbar, ''except fot the Bookmarks Toolbar''.
    * Then drag'n'drop the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the Location bar.
    # Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
    # Or "Reload - Stop" then put a flexible space in between the two to prevent the buttons from combining.
    # Set the order to "Stop - Reload" to separate them and get two distinct buttons.

  • Where are the official microsoft ISO's for windows 10 preview?

    Hi All,
    Where are the official Microsoft ISO's for Windows 10,  10051 and 10056 preview?   They are all over the web, but I don't trust them unless they comes from Microsoft itself.
    Many thanks,
    -T

    To ToddAndMargo,
    RE : Is there a way to manually go to Windows Updates and manually download a particular file
    No. All updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. You don't get to choose which to install and which to decline.
    RE : And I can't find 10049's ISO either (from Microsoft). 
    As of now, the only most current ISO available is for build 10041. Build 10049 ISO is not yet available.
    When build 10049 is released from Slow ring, usually it is also the time its ISO will be released.
    RE: ESD file. How?
    One cannot download an esd file of build 10049 from Windows Update.
    You download and install the entire build 10049 via Windows Update. When it is done, you can then find its Installed.esd file from RecoveryImage folder and use it to manually create an ISO fie. You will need a specific program to create an ISO from Esd.
    You might ask " why do I need an ISO fie if the operating system is already installed ?"
    Some users are advocates of "clean install". They prefer clean install over upgrade install. Clean install can be done by burning the ISO file into a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB capacity and use it to install.
    You can also use the same media and install in another compatible computer.
    It can also serve as an emergency backup incase you need to reinstall.

    Most of it is iOS itself and the apps included with it. App Data, pictures in your Camera Roll, emails can account for the rest.

  • Where is the WLSTUtil API documentation

    I've been playing around with Python/Jython and WLST.
    But I cannot seem to find the API for the WLST commands.
    I can get code completion in eclipse that gives me all the possible commands for a certain variable for a dataSource say. But where are the commands/API of each Jython class that WLST defines, documented?
    For instance, if I run a configToScript, I get a script that has the following lines:
    jdbcSR = create(dsName,"JDBCSystemResource")
    theJDBCResource = jdbcSR.getJDBCResource()
    theJDBCResource.setName(dsName)
    And in eclipse, theJDBCResource code completion shows me the methods on that member variable. But where is the documentation for that jython class.
    I looked here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/javadocs/index.html?weblogic/deploy/api/spi/WebLogicDeploymentManager.html) but that again does not contain the WLSTUtil class.
    BTW: I ran writeToIniFile and got:
    from weblogic.management.scripting.utils import WLSTUtil
    import sys
    origPrompt = sys.ps1
    theInterpreter = WLSTUtil.ensureInterpreter();
    WLSTUtil.ensureWLCtx(theInterpreter)
    execfile(WLSTUtil.getWLSTScriptPath())
    execfile(WLSTUtil.getOfflineWLSTScriptPath())
    exec(WLSTUtil.getOfflineWLSTScriptForModule())
    execfile(WLSTUtil.getWLSTCommonModulePath())
    theInterpreter = None
    sys.ps1 = origPrompt
    modules = WLSTUtil.getWLSTModules()
    for mods in modules:
    execfile(mods.getAbsolutePath())
    wlstPrompt = "false"
    ~
    That tells me that all the jython classes are in WLSTUtl class. Just need to get at the javadoc for it.
    The weblogic.management.scripting.utils package does not contain WLSTUtil as expected.
    Thanks

  • Where is the official download page for full version of Firefox? Old one has only stubs now.

    The old page now has stubs only, there is no full version on it:
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Separate but valid question: Searching Mozilla Support on this very forum yields no answers as to where to download the full version of the program itself, around which this entire forum has been set up with all the numerous questions in it about the program... yet there is no answer on how and where to actually *GET* the full version of the program... this strongly suggests that the forum administrators went out of their way, to make it difficult to impossible for users to get the FULL VERSION of the program...
    There are many valid reasons for needing the full version of the program, don't you think it's pretty incredible that it has always been difficult to download the full version of Firefox? The old page had it buried in between the Acholi and Xhosa languages, even though English (US) is probably needed by millions of users vs. relatively few for Acholi and Xhosa... Millions of users had to go though gymnastics of finding it buried in between all the worlds languages with every consecutive version, and now they completely removed it even from that page...
    What is the the reason, and you have to agree there is a reason, for Mozilla preventing us from having the full installation file? And what is the reason, even when the full installation file existed on that page, for this forum to make it almost impossible to find that page when searching the forum, or the entire internet for the official full version download page?

    Last time I checked, that page did link to full installers. The format of the links for Windows was:
    https://download.mozilla''.''org/?product=firefox-'''36.0.4-SSL'''&os=win&lang=en-US
    I have bolded the part that currently says '''stub'''. Hand-crafted links in that form still work (but I have broken the link in this post with my formatting).
    I don't have personal knowledge of what's going on with the "all" download page and hope it changes back.
    As for blaming this forum for anything having to do with the "all" download page, you must be kidding. That page was always available from the main page using a link that said Systems & Languages and as the link says, it lists all the available systems and languages.

  • Where is the Album Artwork saved that iTunes doesn't automatically download

    I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and I love it's ability to show the album/CD art. Some of my CD's art was available on the iTunes store which the program downloaded automatically but the majority of it I had to find manually online. (Just FYI, Amazon Album Art is a fabulous widget to help with this, <www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm>) Hours and hours later (large MP3 collection) I'm done. Now, as I have the same music library library on my office computer I want to have the art there as well. I copied the Album Artwork folder from my Home>Music>iTunes folder onto the office computer and launched iTunes but the only artwork visible was the artwork that the iTunes program had automatically downloaded. Where is the artwork that I painstakingly copied/pasted into the iTunes at home? Is it kept somewhere other than the Album Artwork folder?
    G4 1.25 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Artwork that you manually add in the manner you describe is embedded inside the music files themselves (i.e. inside the mp3 files are you using).
    Therefore if you use those same mp3 files on another computer the artwork will instantly be available.
    Power iTunes users [including myself] prefer this approach [embedding artwork] for exactly this reason. I have therefore taken any artwork iTunes 7 downloaded itself and forced it to embed it in to my music.
    I also have a suspicion that simply copying the [downloaded] artwork folder to another computer would probably not work since it appears it is using reference numbers in the file names which would be different on a different computer.

  • Where is the Show menu button that is supposed to be at the bottom of the window

    where i sthe Show menu button that is supposed to be at the bottom of the iTunes window that will allow me to move music from one computer library  to another?

    Thank you but I have now solved my problem.
    I was trying to move music files from one iTunes library on one computer to the iTunes library on another computer.
    The instructions on the Apple site tell you to open sharing on both libraries and then use the Show menu button at the bottom of the window to select 'items not in my library'
    What they don't tell you is that the button is on a hidden toolbar that will only appear if both libraries are logged in to the same account with the same ID and passward in Home Sharing which is in the Advanced drop down menu.
    I had Home Sharing switched on in my Preferences but was not using identical IDs & passwords.
    As the toolbar with the Show menu botton was hidden I could not see it until I worked out that both computers needed an identical log-in. With that done after various trial and error efforts I found the button and was able to move the files.
    Thanks for your help.
