Re: rman expired vs obsolete
Hi! Expired backups are unusable since they were not found accessible during last crosscheck or were set to expired state manually. This means that these backups can't and won't be used for restore operation. Obsolete backups can be deleted since there are enough redundant backups according to current backup retention policy. If an obsolete backup is not manually deleted yet, it can be used for restore, unlike expired backups. Backup retention policy can be changed using rman's configure command.

RE: rman backup
Sorry to respond to such an old thread (man I'm way behind), but what if the
expected location of the archived logs isn't large enough? For example,
let's say we have a 10G archive directory, and we dump 5-10G of logs per day.
I have to go to a backup made a week ago. That's 35-70G worth of logs if I
need to roll forward. Does RMAN try and cram 'em all in at once, or will it
roll through them? That sure would be a nice feature. ;-)

When you have RMAN back up archived logs, IIRC, in a recovery RMAN first
restores those archived logs to the location that Oracle will expect them to
be, and I believe that is done as part of the RESTORE DATABASE command. In
my situation, I found no advantage from having RMAN store the archive logs,
so I have no experience there, just what I've read in the manual.
Only RMAN can perform the RESTORE DATABASE command, but once you
complete that command, you can complete the recovery using svrmgrl. From
everything I've seen, RMAN just issues the RECOVER DATABASE command to
svrmgrl or SQL*Plus.

Thanks Dennis for Reply,
My confusion is , does RMAN sees only those archived logs which are backup
using rman or it can use current archived log as well stored in original
format at other disk ?

AK - Unless you specify otherwise, RMAN will automatically apply archive
logs to bring the database up to the time of failure (your recover
database
statement). This is why it is good to run disaster recovery tests on a
regular basis, to ensure everything is ready, and you can try different
recovery times. You will see that RMAN will not complete its recovery if
the
archived logs are not available.

We take daily rman backup each nite at 10pm . Which means in worst case we
risk one day of work. Now suppose something wrong goes before 10 pm .
Then
Can I recover my database till time using previous day rman backup and
currently available archived logs.
Or in nutshell is it possible to run { restore databse; recover database }
from rman and then apply remaing archived logs from a separated disk ( not
a
rman backup ).
Thanks,

RE: rman restore question
Joan - Glad to hear your success. In the meanwhile I replied to your earlier message. Just to clarify, when you used a time-based recovery, setting a time earlier than the most recent backup, RMAN ignored the most recent backup and restored from an earlier backup? Wouldn't that have the disadvantage that you're stuck with a database that doesn't have all the recent transactions applied? Just asking, you're probably suffering from recovery fatigue now.

RE: rman restore question
Joan - I have not used the redundancy policy, but my understanding is this just involves how many backup copies to retain. It does not relate to recovery as I read the manual. Do you have Robert Freeman's book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery? Are you attempting an incomplete recovery or a complete recovery? Any recovery to a time prior to the current time is defined as an incomplete recovery. If I am recalling your goal, you are trying to recover but not use the latest backup sets. I always back up using an RMAN catalog, but have always tested recovery just using the control file. On Oracle8i I found it easier to separately issue a SQL command to back up the control file after an RMAN backup, then I ensure that control file ends up on the backup tape. This means that I can take the backup tape, restore the control file, then issue RMAN commands that will restore the database. That control file only knows about the RMAN backup that was last performed. So I could restore the data files from any backup. Now, as you know, recovery in RMAN is basically a shell over the Oracle recovery mechanism. You can restore using RMAN, then recover the database using Oracle server manager (now SQL*Plus) commands. So it should be possible to restore the database using RMAN as I described it (but not restore), then replace the old control file with a more recent control file, then recover the database (Oracle will apply archive log files) until the current time is reached. Obviously by starting with an older restore, more archive logs must be applied. Take a look at this idea and see if it would meet your requirements. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RMAN options (was: Deleting database)
Title: Re: Deleting database Yechiel, I am letting RMAN do that for me. I have several scripts that help me accomplish this. The first one does a full exportof production. This logical backup is just in case that I need to recreate my production database from scratch. The second one (using RMAN) resyncs and backs up production plus archivelogs and right after that it also backs up my recovery catalog database. The third one (which I only run once a week), shuts down test, starts it with nomount option and then dups production into test. This way I have a new test database with fresh data. I realize that test will contain data 'a week old' from that of production. But that is not critical to my environment. As you pointed out, schemas and tablespaces as well as datafile names in test are the same as in production. Oracles' site suggests to use 'REDUNDANCY TO' a value greater than 1. I see that some other people use the 'RETENTION WINDOW TO. I notice that the REDUNDANCY TO parameter does not show up after Ive set RETENTION WINDOW TO. There is also the option to 'AUTOBACKUP CONTROLFILE'. The question I have is: What option(s) or (combination of them for that matter) do I need to useto be able to do apoint-in-time recovery? Wouldntit beenough to just backup plus archivelogs? As always, grateful for your input!

Two factors had me initially thinking of doing export/import: 1) The tables in production are not big and 2) tables are not subject to heavy changes. As it was pointed out before and although I am not in favor of analyzing stats in a regular basis, the need for analyzing statistics will be determined by the circumstances of one's environment. My test database is more like a test to my logical backups and to have an instance for me to study the tables of this application. Thanks Branimir, Ron, and Vaidya too for your ideas. Now I have a broader view of the various ways to delete a database. Regards, Julio Cesar Quijada-Reina Programmer Analyst Computer Services at Alfred State College -Original Message- Carel-Jan Engel Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 3:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L As far as I can understand your question you are copying your production environment to test. So, test should be a copy, and not an export/import logical represantation of prod. Otherwise your tables/indexes will be reorganized every time you create the new test database. This means re-analyzing statistics (see another HOT topic today), and ending up with a non-represntative version of your production database, at least from the SQL-tuning/optimizing point of view. So, I would suggest to take rman, or the old-fashioned well working alter tablespace begein/end backup scenario, and clone your production database. This will give you the physical copy. I've done this many times on unix flavours, never on M$ OS's I like to keep it that way ;-). I guess you might find some nice articles about this on metalink, searching with the keywords clone database. Regards, Carel-Jan === If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

In my opinion it is simpler and easier task to automate dropping of all owners followed by one full import compared to task of automating database deletions followed by database creations then doing full import in very last step. DOS environment offers weak (better word is miserable) error handling, so unless you resort to non M$ scripting languages to do this task for you I believe you'd be better off to stick with simpler of two approaches. Another reason to try avoiding tearing/re-creating databases lies in the fact that when you create new database on WinXYZ platform, newly created data files are always fragmented at file level (which may not be overly fact important for your test database but it is an ugly site to look at nevertheless). Branimir Branimir, Correct me if I am wrong, but if I used your approach of dropping schema owner then if I have 25 schemas on my test db, I would have to drop ALL of them? I would think
RE: rman restore question
If you don't set the redundancey policy to a recovery window of N days, than the record of the backup will be kept indefinitely.

I was actually talking from database recovery point of view (that you can do point in time recovery prior to current controlfile time if you use using backup controlfile option when recovering. For restoring a de-registered backupset, I see two options (there might be more, more convenient ones): 1) use a old controlfile from the time when the backupset was still registered in it (you can create another, temporary recovery catalog and use resync catalog from controlfilecopy '' and then can use restore command to read from your old backupset) See metalink note 132927.1 for that. 2) use dbms_backup_restore to manually extract your files from orphan backupsets (Note 60545.1) Tanel. - Original Message - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tanel Poder [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 3:55 AM Tanel, Do you mean if I am using current controlfile to recover database, It doesn't matter the backupset is obsolete or not in the rman catalog repository database, is that sounds right?

Re: rman restore question
You can do point in time recovery using current controlfile as well. You just say recover database until cancal using backup controlfile then, that way Oracle ignores SCN information inside controlfile and trusts only datafile headers. You have to open resetlogs after that. One issue I see with this approach is that when you have added log/datafiles after your backup, then there'll be controlfile/data dictionary mismatch, but it's anyway solvable.

Re: rman restore question
Note that when you configure controlfile autobackup on, then a backup controlfile will be saved to default location (dbs or database dir under $ORACLE_HOME) after most physical database structure changes such is adding a datafile, taking tablespace offline/online etc. This is the behaviour of 9.2.0.4 on W2k at least. It may generate a good bunch of backup controfiles to Oracle software directory without your knowing... Anyway, I have less than 23 hours to new year here, so I wish you happy ending of current year and happy new year!

Re: rman restore question
Tanel, Do you mean if I am using current controlfile to recover database, It doesn't matter the backupset is obsolete or not in the rman catalog repository database, is that sounds right? So, I just have to restore the old backupset from tape to disk and issue recover database command? At beginning, I thought to recatalog the backupset, make it valid and then recover from it. However, I couldn't find this kind of operation in manual. So I am wondering how to recover it from an obsolete backupset?

Duplicating with rman
I was using RMAN to duplicate a database -- my first time (please be
gentle).
Copied an on-disk rman backup to target box.
started clone instance nomount.
rman nocatalog

Everything was going OK until

The error

would seem to indicate a syntax problem in the rman script. But I can't
figure it out.
Recreating the control file by hand then running:
RMAN run {

3 set until logseq 5115 thread 1;
4 recover clone database;
5 }
Worked OK.
Any suggestions?

RE: RMAN Retention Policy
Ian,
I think retention policy is new in 9i.
I purge my repository of backups that are older than 90 days (because our
tape systems rotates and reuses tapes after that time) using the change
backuppiece 330783 delete; command. I run a sql script againts the rman
repository looking for pieces that satisfy this requirement. The sql looks
like this:
select 'change backuppiece bp.bp_key delete;'
from rc_backup_piece bp,rc_database db
where db.name = upper('ORACLE_SID')
and bp.db_id = db.dbid
and bp.start_time sysdate-90
/
This is in an 8i database.

Re: Table recovery from RMAN backup
Take a look at TSPITR (tablespace point in time recovery), I believe that's how it's performed as I've never tried it. Essentially RMAN creates a temporary database, recovers the objects in the tablespace targeted for recovery, and then you can recover the data in the object(s) in question.

Re: Table recovery from RMAN backup
Jay, if it is 9.2.0.4 and if you have undo_retention set, you can do a flashback query. If not, you must recover the database to the specific time, you cannot recover just a single table.

Re: Table recovery from RMAN backup
Hi! I believe flashback query works only on existing tables, you can query deleted data from it for example, but you can't see dropped tables with it. Tanel. - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 6:59 PM Jay, if it is 9.2.0.4 and if you have undo_retention set, you can do a flashback query. If not, you must recover the database to the specific time, you cannot recover just a single table. You should probably read the TSPITR recovery chapter in Rob Freeman's book.

You can use export and flashback to recover a dropped table. The only time I needed it, it gave a warning on the export but still worked OK.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
I have ftp'd the backup pieces into the identical backup location as the orignal
server so I have all the stuff available... Im just wondering if I have to do
something to tell it that I am on a different server...
I've restored the controlfile mannually before but on the same server. I backup the
controlfile and wrap in the backup piece with the normal backup.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
DENNIS...Thanks for your feedback. Here it is.. (NSF problem??)
1. I am not using Tape only disk backups..
2. I ftp'd the backup pieces to new machine
3. I created a link to duplicate the backup location on the original machine
and other locations as pfiles...edited the init file for new control locations
etc.
4. The controlfile was wrapping in the backup piece same backup command
5. It is an NSF mount point. (Netapp)
Is there a solution with the NFS issue?

Brian - First, congratulations on performing what seems pretty close to a
disaster recovery test. I don't know the specific answer to your problem, so
I'll ask a couple of questions related to hard points I encountered, and
maybe that will strike a cord.
1. You say you connected to your existing RMAN catalog? How does the
catalog know to recover this new database and not the one it backed up?
Maybe it is confused. I found it much simpler to recover from the
controlfile even if I used the catalog to perform the backup. Also in a true
disaster, you may not have your RMAN catalog unless you have another tape.
If you can recover from the single tape with the RMAN backup, then your
offsite tape could get you up and running.
2. Are the backup pieces in the same path as you backed them up? I don't
think that is your problem because that usually gives a clear error.
3. Are you using NFS? I encountered a problem with NFS very similar to
your symptoms. My sys admin assumed there would be only a connection or two
over NFS, so left some stuff default. Come to find out RMAN opens a bunch of
connections.
Sorry, but that is all my brain can think up on Friday.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - I think that is the problem -- you can't tell RMAN you are on a
different server. The part I'm not getting a clear picture on is your
control file. For this specific recovery, how is it getting a control file?
Did you move one over from production, or are you waiting for RMAN to cough
it up from the backup pieces? On 8i this tends to be a problem.

I have ftp'd the backup pieces into the identical backup location as the
orignal server so I have all the stuff available... Im just wondering if I
have to do something to tell it that I am on a different server...
I've restored the controlfile mannually before but on the same server. I
backup the controlfile and wrap in the backup piece with the normal backup.

Janardhana - That's a good point.
Brian - were you expecting RMAN to extract your controlfile from the RMAN
backup pieces? You are on Oracle8i, and RMAN isn't so good at doing that in
8i. I couldn't get that to work myself.

May be you try the following:
If you get errors restoring controlfile, You may ftp the controlfiles
manually to the new server and startup mount the database first. Then, Try
your restore database.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - My sys admin pleads amnesia on the NFS problem. My recollection was
that it was misconfigured or had a default configuration that expected only
a couple of connections and RMAN actually opens MANY file connections. My
specific symptoms is that RMAN would create the first few data files and
then just stop. Oracle Support made me take NFS out of the mix and then
everything worked.
In your case, I am also concerned about the control file. I was unable to
get 8i to create the control file from the backup although others on this
list reported success with that. I would feel better if you said that you
separately backed up the control file at the end of the RMAN backup, and
manually moved that control file into place on the test system. At least you
would eliminate that as the problem.

DENNIS...Thanks for your feedback. Here it is.. (NSF problem??)
1. I am not using Tape only disk backups..
2. I ftp'd the backup pieces to new machine
3. I created a link to duplicate the backup location on the original machine
and other locations as pfiles...edited the init file for new control
locations
etc.
4. The controlfile was wrapping in the backup piece same backup command
5. It is an NSF mount point. (Netapp)
Is there a solution with the NFS issue?

Brian - First, congratulations on performing what seems pretty close to a
disaster recovery test. I don't know the specific answer to your problem, so
I'll ask a couple of questions related to hard points I encountered, and
maybe that will strike a cord.
1. You say you connected to your existing RMAN catalog? How does the
catalog know to recover this new database and not the one it backed up?
Maybe it is confused. I found it much simpler to recover from the
controlfile even if I used the catalog to perform the backup. Also in a true
disaster, you may not have your RMAN catalog unless you have another tape.
If you can recover from the single tape with the RMAN backup, then your
offsite tape could get you up and running.
2. Are the backup pieces in the same path as you backed them up? I don't
think that is your problem because that usually gives a clear error.
3. Are you using NFS? I encountered a problem with NFS very similar to
your symptoms. My sys admin assumed there would be only a connection or two
over NFS, so left some stuff default. Come to find out RMAN opens a bunch of
connections.
Sorry, but that is all my brain can think up on Friday.

RE: RMAN restore on another server
why not use the RMAN duplicate database process. that sounds like what you
are trying to do. Have you ever let the script run to completion? Maybe its
slow for another reason. I have used duplicate database on Solaris many

RMAN restore on another server
Title: Message
Goal: To restore the database
from RMAN backup on a different server by means of moving the backup pieces and
logs over to the new machine and use Rman to unpack the database
files.
Strategy: To restore the
database from the RMAN backup pieces into a new directory locations on the
machine and extract the control file and startup the
database.
Some
of the steps to setup the new machine.
1)
Install oracle 8i2) install the patch 4.03) copy .profile
over
4)
duplicated the Admin directories for the database to be
restored
5)
created a big mount /u02/vssppln/ point for all the datafiles and
controlfiles and so on
6)
Created a backup mount point to store the RMAN backup pieces and
archivelogs
7)
moved the backup pieces and archivelogs to the new machine
8)
Setup and confirm connectivity to Rman catalog
9) No
mount the database to be on the new machine
10)
Launch the Rman command
rman

Problem... I run this restore from Rman backup...but it
gets to processing the command andgets to the"RMAN-03022:
compiling command: set " and just hangs...adding another line every 1/2
hour or so...
Anybody seen this or have ideas? I talked to one guy

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Brian - First, congratulations on performing what seems pretty close to a
disaster recovery test. I don't know the specific answer to your problem, so
I'll ask a couple of questions related to hard points I encountered, and
maybe that will strike a cord.
1. You say you connected to your existing RMAN catalog? How does the
catalog know to recover this new database and not the one it backed up?
Maybe it is confused. I found it much simpler to recover from the
controlfile even if I used the catalog to perform the backup. Also in a true
disaster, you may not have your RMAN catalog unless you have another tape.
If you can recover from the single tape with the RMAN backup, then your
offsite tape could get you up and running.
2. Are the backup pieces in the same path as you backed them up? I don't
think that is your problem because that usually gives a clear error.
3. Are you using NFS? I encountered a problem with NFS very similar to
your symptoms. My sys admin assumed there would be only a connection or two
over NFS, so left some stuff default. Come to find out RMAN opens a bunch of
connections.
Sorry, but that is all my brain can think up on Friday.

How did you expect the restore to work w/o first restoring the
controlfile? or am i missing something here?

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Title: Message
By default RMAN restores the backup to the
machine from where it is backedup. If you need to restore the backup on to
alternate client, your netbackup admin has to setup the access. You have not mentioned
whether you are using Netbackup or legato or something else. Once the access is
set up, you can test it by connecting to rman target / catalog rman/[EMAIL PROTECTED] on
the new machine ,and issuing the command list backup at RMAN prompt on the new
machine. If you see the backups, you can restore the backup. If you are using
NETBACKUP, use the var NB_ORA_CLIENT, If not substitute with the corresponding
variable.
Startup nomount;

Allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape'

I am sorry, I thought you are restoring

RE: RMAN restore on another server
Janardhana - That's a good point.
Brian - were you expecting RMAN to extract your controlfile from the RMAN
backup pieces? You are on Oracle8i, and RMAN isn't so good at doing that in
8i. I couldn't get that to work myself.

RE: RMAN questions
I suppose just how much redundancy makes you sleep well is up to you. But, one additional bit of info to keep in mind is that the backup info also gets stored in the control files, and rman can use those too if no catalog database is available. Making a copy of a control file after the backup finishes, and saving that copy, can be a part of the rman backup. That way, if you lost all control files and your catalog database, rman can use your saved control file copy get back at least most, if not all, of your stuff. -Original Message- Any suggestions would be appreciated.

RMAN questions
We have both 8i and 9i instances, but 'eventually' plan to migrate everything to 9i. I'm looking at using RMAN for our backup and recovery. We have many instances but essentially 2 types. 1. Production instances that have both OLAP and OLTP. These must be in archive log mode. 2. We have staging instances where we do data loads. We do not put these in archive log mode for obvious reasons. We do our backups of these with transportable tablespaces and running dbverify. We also have 2 locations. One is remote. Its not practical to store our backups from the remote location at our local location or vice versa. So we will need 2 seperate RMAN setups. I have seen that some people like to use two instances that have RMAN. Many people will just put the RMAN catalog in an existing instance. Is that really a good idea? The idea behind two instances is that they can back each other up. Is that really enough? You can lose both instances, then your backup sets are useless. We have a shared NAS, so each location uses the same set of storage. We do backup to tape as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can handle the scripting my self.

Re: RMAN questions
I do not think you need 2 Rman catalogs. Build a small database just for Rman. After the daily backup finished bring it down and do os level backup of all the environment for this small backup. You can then easily restore it in case of disk problems. Remember: A backup is good only when you can restore from it. Test restores.

RMAN restore to different machine
I have an online backup of my 9i production database on CD. I want to restore it to my home PC, which has a completely different file structure and an empty database. I did the backup with rman. I spent most of Saturday trying this and can not even get rman to look at the backup set on the CD. I'd be real happy if someone can just explain how to restore the spfile and the control file.

RE: RMAN restore to different machine
Randy First, you may want to investigate your company's attitude toward recovering their proprietary data on your personal machine. I can give you some ideas on your task, but my experience is on 1)Unix, and 2) Oracle 8i. I would recommend you purchase Robert Freeman's book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery. Well worth the money. In Oracle8i I wasn't able to extract the control file from the RMAN backup, so I just backed that up separately. But I think Robert's book describes how to do that. I never worried about the init.ora file in Oracle8i, relying on the normal system backup to back that up. You could probably either copy the spfile from your production system (if you tell me you don't have access to that system, then you'll really concern me about what you are trying to do) or create a dummy init.ora to get the instance started. I don't know if you used the controlfile or catalog backup to create this RMAN backup. I use the catalog backup, but found it easier to recover using just the controlfile. The one sticky point is that RMAN will want its backup pieces in the same path that it backed them up. I haven't found any way of changing that. In Unix you can fool RMAN by creating a link. When you say that you couldn't get RMAN to look at the CD drive, that may be the problem you are encountering. If you are using Windows, perhaps you could find the drive letter used to create the backup and use that same drive letter on your personal machine. You can change the location where RMAN will restore the files with the SET NEWNAME command for each data file. RMAN will restore the database with the original instance name.

Thanks Stephen [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/24/03 11:54AM Randy First, you may want to investigate your company's attitude toward recovering their proprietary data on your personal machine. I can give you some ideas on your task, but my experience is on 1)Unix, and 2) Oracle 8i. I would recommend you purchase Robert Freeman's book Oracle9i RMAN Backup Recovery. Well worth the money. In Oracle8i I wasn't able to extract the control file from the RMAN backup, so I just backed that up separately. But I think Robert's book describes how to do that. I never worried about the init.ora file in Oracle8i, relying on the normal system backup to back that up. You could probably either copy the spfile from your production system (if you tell me you don't have access to that system, then you'll really concern me about what you are trying to do) or create a dummy init.ora to get the instance started. I don't know if you used the controlfile or catalog backup to create this RMAN backup. I use the catalog backup, but found it easier to recover using just the controlfile.

Rick, In a perfect world, we would be tracking major changes to the database (even updates) by time. In your case, you are stuck with taking a WAG, or more better, and educated WAG. You said that you think you dropped the table at about 1700. You can choose a point-in-time recovery to be 1630, to be safe. When you open the database, if the table is there, then you are done. If not, do it again. Good Luck!

If you were wrong, you repeated the exercise until you found the point in time before the drop I'm not sure logminer will show you the drop table in any case. At least not explicitly as drop table is NOT a logged operation. You might see the effect of it on fet$ and uet$ in that extents would be released back to the tablespace but if you have locally managed tablespaces you'd have to search for the update to tab$ to find the time. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How was the timestamp derived prior to logminer as Point-In-Time recovery has been around a long time?

RE: Point-In-Time recovery question, Non-RMAN solution
Rick You are getting some good replies on your problem. Since you say that you are recovering the table from two days ago, I'm assuming you are recovering to a test server. On the precision of the recovery time, a lot depends on just how much precision you need. As Scott says, you can use Logminer to get extremely close. But maybe if you dropped the table two days ago, just sometime earlier than the drop will be close enough. I also try to perform regular exports on all tables that aren't so large as to be unwieldly. Often when something comes up you can offer an export from a couple of days ago and that is good enough. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

Re: RMAN Error
Tamizh,
You are probably running out of space in the file-system you
were located within when you invoked RMAN. It would be
better to specify a full path-name in the FORMAT= clause
(i.e. specify directory as well as filename), to make sure
that the file-system where you are creating the backupsets
is the one you intend.
Hope this helps...
