RMAN: nocatalog; remove backed up archived redos

Also that means that all the information about your backups will be stored in the control file of the target database, if you loose your controlfiles will loose all the information of your backups, so they will be useless. Allocate channel for delete type disk; change datafilecopy 'yourfile' delete; release channel; This would work for you Luck (Suerte) Ramon E.

Re: advanced replication
Ray, Any kind of replication is a nightmare (oops, challenge!) to administer. Oracle, Quest, EMC, homegrown, whatever. As you add more schemas and objects to the equation you'll need at least person dedicated to it. As for the advanced replication manuals, hmm. The 8i set has 2 - "Oracle8i Replication" and "Oracle8i Replication Management API Reference". Haven't read any of these. I've only worked with the articles from Metalink. Good luck, Leng. --- Ray Stell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I was beginning to think advanced replication looked like > a reasonable solution for an applicaiton.

URGENT: Hot Standby Graceful failover and failback
Good morning everyone, HELP! HELP!!! It's very early in the morning and I'm still struggling with the Oracle Hot Standby - 8.0.5 and 8I. ARGH! Ok, I got the failover going. I can activate the standby database and use it as a normal database. But when I try to turn it into a standby database again and then reactivate it again, it errors out on me. Oracle Support just tells me that I'm not supposed to use it this way. HUH? I'm not trying to put it back in standby mode so I can recover from the original primary database! I want to put it back in standby mode to similulate a total primary site loss. And always have a standby database to activate. Ok, I may be rambling on a bit here. Very tired. So here's what I've done so far: 1. create a hot standby from a primary database 2. activate the hot standby 3. shutdown the new primary and made a backup of the new primary database 4. restart the new primary, created a table and create a standby controlfile 5. shutdown the new primary 6. restore from backup created in step 3, and replaced the current control files with the standby controlfiles created from stop 4 7. mounted the database in standby mode again 8. tried to activate the new standby database but it failed with ORA-1152 and ORA-1110 complaining that the system.dbf is not restored from a sufficiently old backup. Argh! How do we have a continuous failover and failback scenario? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've just discovered Lawrence To's article on Graceful Switch Over and Switch back as well. The following from page 11 scares me: "Graceful switchover and switchback are not possible when the production database's online redo logs are not accessible. A graceful switchover and switch back is NOT possible whenever a production database or standby database executes one of the following: - alter database open resetlogs or - alter database activate standby database (which does an implicit resetlogs operation)" HUH??? There are certainly times when we have to do a resetlogs. One of the problems our Unix boxes have at the moment is a redo log corruption so there are not choices but to resetlogs. So what does this all mean? That if we resetlogs we can't ever have continuous failover and failback? ARGH!! What am I dealing with here! I need a holiday from this crazy scenario! Ok, please let me know if you've had any success with what I'm describing here. Am I aiming for the impossible? Surely not!

Re: parallel server; ops setup
Hi, I'm in digest mode, so here's reply to those OPS questions... I don't think you can set up OPS without a hardware cluster. In fact, if you don't turn on the Lock manager at the os level the Oracle installer won't even show OPS as an installation option! As for other other question re. converting a single instance db to ops... well, you'd be interested to know that to create an ops db I actually create a single instance db first, then do the following: 1. add new threads, ie. a thread per instance 2. shutdown 1st instance 3. create new init.ora for new instances 4. ensure that parallel_server=true. note this is 8i 5. startup all instances All of the above of course assumes that you have set up the hardware and installed ops as someone else has pointed out.
