Practice for Lesson 1 There are no practices for Lesson 1. 4

Practice for Lesson 2 In this practice, you configure your database for recoverability. 5

Practice 2-1: Configure Your Database 1) Use Enterprise Manager to configure your database in ARCHIVELOG mode. 2) Use Enterprise Manager to verify that the Flash Recovery Area has been configured for your database and increase the Flash Recovery Area size to 3 GB. 3) Set Preferred Credentials in Enterprise Manager. 4) Use Recovery Manager (RMAN) to connect to your target database. Make note of thedatabase identifier (DBID) of your database.database Identifier: Make note of the database identifier (DBID) of your database. 5) Use the RMAN SHOW ALL command to view the configuration settings in yourdatabase and then exit from your RMAN session. 6

Practice for Lesson 3 In this practice, you configure automatic backup of the control file. You also configure a backup of your database using the Oracle-Suggested Backup Strategy feature in Enterprise Manager Database Control.. 7

Practice 3-1: Use RMAN to Create and Manage Backups 1) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to configure autobackup of the control file and the server parameter file. 2) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to configure backup optimization and enable block change tracking. Specify /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/chg_track.f for the name of the blockchange tracking file. 3) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to create a whole database backup using the Oraclesuggested backup strategy. 4) Use Enterprise Manager to view information about your backups. 5) Use RMAN to create a duplexed backup set of the EXAMPLE tablespace. 6) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to perform a crosscheck of your backups. 8

Practice for Lesson 4 In this practice, you use RMAN to perform recovery. 9

Practice 4-1: Use RMAN to Recover a Datafile In this practice, you use RMAN to recover a lost datafile. Notice how you are prompted by Enterprise Manager to recover the lost datafile. 1) Use SQL*Plus to query the HR.REGIONS table. Make note of the number of rows in the HR.REGIONS table. 2) At the operating system prompt, execute the lab_04_01_02_01.sh script to simulate a failure in your database. This script deletes the EXAMPLE tablespace datafile. 3) Use SQL*Plus to query the HR.JOBS table. 4) Use Enterprise Manager to perform database recovery of the EXAMPLE tablespace datafile. 5) Return to your SQL*Plus session and again attempt to query the HR.JOBS table. 10

Practice 4-2: Use the Flash Recovery Area to Quickly Recover a Datafile In this practice, you recover a lost datafile by using the Flash Recovery Area for fast recovery. 1) Use SQL*Plus to query the HR.REGIONS table. Make note of the number of rows in the HR.REGIONS table. 2) At the operating system prompt, execute the lab_04_02_02_01.sh script to simulate a failure in your database. This script deletes the EXAMPLE tablespace datafile. 3) Use SQL*Plus to query the HR.DEPARTMENTS table. 4) Use the RMAN SWITCH TO COPY command to recover the datafile. 5) Query the HR.JOBS table. 6) Using Enterprise Manager Database Control, verify that the datafile being used for the EXAMPLE tablespace is in the Flash Recovery Area. 7) Make a copy of the datafile in the original location and switch back to it. 8) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to verify the file. 11

Practice 4-3: Recover Control Files In this practice, you recover your control file using an autobackup. 1) Use SQL*Plus to view files information for the control files in your database. Query V$CONTROLFILE. 2) Simulate a failure in your environment by executing the lab_04_03_02_01.sh script to delete all your control files. 3) You need some more information about your control files. Query V$CONTROLFILE_RECORD_SECTION to learn more about the contents of your control file. 4) You have lost all your control files and will need to recover them from the control file autobackup. Use Recovery Manager to recover the control files. 12

Practice 4-4: Delete Obsolete Backups 1) Use Recovery Manager to view obsolete backups. 2) Use Enterprise Manager Database Control to delete obsolete backups. 3) You can also use RMAN to verify that your obsolete backups were deleted. 13

Practice for Lesson 5 In this practice, you use Oracle Flashback features to recover from errors in your database. 14

Practice 5-1: Enable Flashback Database 1) Use Enterprise Manager to enable Flashback Database. 2) Use the ALTER DATABASE command to enable supplemental logging. 15

Practice 5-2: Set Restore Points and Perform Flashback Table Restore points are a way to bookmark database points in time. Set a restore point to remember a significant change so that you can quickly recover to that point in time without having to record an SCN or time. 1) You must enable row movement to use restore points. Use Enterprise Manager to enable row movement for the HR.LOCATIONS table. 2) Create a normal restore point. 3) Use SQL*Plus to query the POSTAL_CODE column in the HR.LOCATIONS table. 4) Execute the lab_05_02_04_01.sql script to update the POSTAL_CODE column in the HR.LOCATIONS table so that all postal codes are set to 11111. 5) Execute the lab_05_02_05_01.sql script to query the POSTAL_CODE column in the HR.LOCATIONS table again. 6) Restore the POSTAL_CODE column values using the restore point. 7) Return to your SQL*Plus session. Execute the lab_05_02_07_01.sql script to query the POSTAL_CODE column in HR.LOCATIONS again to be sure the correct values have been restored. 16

Practice 5-3: Use Flashback Query and Flashback Versions Query 1. Execute the lab_05_03_01_01.sql script to query the HR.LOCATIONS table for location ID 1400. 2. Execute the lab_05_03_02_01.sql script to update the POSTAL_CODE column in the HR.LOCATIONS table, simulating user error. 3. Execute the lab_05_03_03_01.sql script to query the POSTAL_CODE column in HR.LOCATIONS and view the change. 4. Execute the lab_05_03_04_01.sql script to update the POSTAL_CODE column in the HR.LOCATIONS table, simulating user error. 5. Use Enterprise Manager to perform Flashback Versions Query to correct the user errors. 6. Return to your SQL*Plus session. Query the HR.LOCATIONS table to confirm the Flashback operation. 17

Practice 5-4: Use Flashback Database 1) Use Enterprise Manager to verify that Flashback Database is enabled. 2) Use Enterprise Manager to create a Guaranteed Restore Point. 3) Execute the lab_05_04_03_01.sql script to determine the number of rows in the HR.JOB_HISTORY table. Record the number of rows: 4) Execute the lab_05_04_04_01.sql script to truncate the HR.JOB_HISTORY table. 4) Execute the lab_05_04_05_01.sql script to determine the number of rows in the HR.JOB_HISTORY table. 5) Use Flashback Database to restore the HR.JOB_HISTORY table rows. 6) Return to your SQL*Plus session. Execute the lab_05_04_07_02.sql script to query the HR.JOB_HISTORY table again to be sure the data has been restored. 18

Practice for Lesson 6 In this practice, you create a duplicate database. 19

Practice 6-1: Create a Duplicate Database In this practice, you use RMAN to create a duplicate database on the same host as your database. 1) Create an Oracle password file for your auxiliary instance. 2) Use Oracle Net Manager to create an entry called AUXDB in the tnsnames.ora file. 3) Create an initialization parameter file for the auxiliary instance. 4) Start the auxiliary instance in NOMOUNT mode using the initaux.ora file. 5) Create a server parameter file (SPFILE). 6) Verify that your target database (orcl database) is mounted or open. 7) Start RMAN with a connection to the target database (orcl) and the auxiliary instance. 8) Create the duplicate database by executing the DUPLICATE command. 9) Use SQL*Plus to log in to your AUX database and execute a query against the HR.REGIONS table. 10) Now that you have completed the test recovery by creating a duplicate database, shut down the aux instance. 11) Change your ORACLE_SID to orcl in preparation for later practices. 20

Practice for Lesson 7 In this practice, you use tablespace point-in-time recovery to recover from unwanted changes to your database. 21

Practice 7-1: Use Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery 1) Execute the lab_07_01_01_01.sh script to export the HR schema. 2) Execute the lab_07_01_02_02.sql script to create a new tablespace and a new user in your database. 3) Execute the lab_07_01_03_01.sh script to populate the new tablespace with a copy of the data from the HR schema. Note: The import should complete successfully. You will receive error messages because the import excludes the COUNTRIES, REGIONS, and LOCATIONS tables. These messages can be ignored. 4) Create a backup of your database using RMAN. 5) Record the current SCN: 6) Record the current time. 7) Execute the lab_07_01_07_01.sql script to query the HRTEST.EMPLOYEES table and view information about employees in department 60. Make note of the highest salary that is displayed: 8) Execute the lab_07_01_08_01.sql script to update the salaries for the employees in department 60 and note the highest salary displayed. Highest salary: 9) You now want to perform TSPITR for the HRTEST tablespace to return it to the state prior to the updates. Execute the lab_07_01_09_01.sql script to determine whether there are any dependencies that will prevent the TSPITR operation. 10) You can use Enterprise Manager Database Control or RMAN command line to perform tablespace point-in-time recovery. 11) Verify that the HRTEST tablespace is online. 12) Verify that the SALARY columns in HRTEST.EMPLOYEES for the employees in department 60 contain the correct values. 13) Execute the lab_07_01_13_02.sql script to add a constraint to the HRTEST.DEPARTMENTS table. 14) Assume you need to perform TSPITR on the HRTEST tablespace again. Execute the lab_07_01_14_02.sql query to determine whether there are any dependencies outside the recovery set. 15) If you wanted to complete the tablespace point-in-time recovery for the HRTEST tablespace now, what would you need to do? 22

Note: You will not perform another tablespace point-in-recovery in this practice. You would need to disable the DEPT_LOC_ID_FK constraint that was added to your HRTEST.DEPARTMENTS table or you would need to add 23

In this practice, you create a recovery catalog in your instructor s database and register your database in the recovery catalog. Practice for Lesson 8 24

Practice 8-1: Create the Recovery Catalog and Register the Database The tablespace for the recovery catalog and the recovery catalog owner have been created in the instructor database. The tablespaces are named RCTS01 RCTS12. The users are named RCUSER01 RCUSER12. 1) Connect to the recovery catalog database (instructor s database) with the appropriate recovery catalog owner name (if you are using PC01, connect as RCUSER01) using RMAN. Create the recovery catalog in your assigned tablespace. (If you are using PC01, your assigned tablespace is RCTS01.) The service name is RCDB. 2) Using RMAN, connect to your target database and the recovery catalog database. 3) Using RMAN, execute the command to resynchronize the control file and recovery catalog. What happens? Why? 4) Register the target database in the recovery catalog. You can use RMAN commandline or Enterprise Manager for this step. 5) Create an RMAN script named whole_backup to make a whole database backup. Do not execute the whole_backup script at this time. 6) Use the PRINT command to query the recovery catalog and verify the creation of your whole_backup script. 7) In preparation for later practices, use RMAN to unregister your database from the recovery catalog. 25

In this practice, you monitor the progress of your RMAN backup jobs. Practice for Lesson 9 26

Practice 9-1: Use SQL to Monitor the Progress of RMAN Backups 1) Invoke RMAN and delete all obsolete backups. 2) Open a second terminal window. Change to the labs directory. Invoke SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA. You will use this second session to monitor a database backup. 3) Return to your first terminal window. In your RMAN session, begin a whole database backup. 4) Use your SQL*Plus session to monitor the progress of the whole database backup by querying the V$SESSION_LONGOPS view. By using this view you can determine whether the backup is progressing normally or hanging. If the backup is progressing normally, the TIME_REMAINING column should be decreasing. Execute the lab_09_01_04_01.sql script to query V$SESSION_LONGOPS. 27

Practice 9-2: Use Enterprise Manager to Monitor RMAN Jobs You can easily monitor RMAN jobs in Enterprise Manager. 1) Start Enterprise Manager and log in as SYS/ORACLE as SYSDBA. 2) Delete obsolete backups. 3) Start a whole database backup 28

In this practice, you create a duplicate database. Practice Solutions for Lesson 6 84

Solutions for Practice 6-1: Create a Duplicate Database In this practice, you use RMAN to create a duplicate database on the same host as your database. 1) Create an Oracle password file for your auxiliary instance. 1. Change to the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory and use the orapwd utility to create a password file named orapwaux. Specify a password of oracle and 10 for the number of entries. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs [oracle@edrsr10p1 dbs]$ orapwd file=orapwaux password=oracle entries=10 [oracle@edrsr10p1 dbs]$ ls hc_orcl.dat init.ora orapwaux snapcf_orcl.f initdw.ora lkorcl orapworcl spfileorcl.ora 2) Use Oracle Net Manager to create an entry called AUXDB in the tnsnames.ora file. 1. Open a terminal window and enter netmgr at the operating system prompt. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ netmgr 2. The Oracle Net Manager window appears. 3. Expand Local and Service Naming. 4. Select Service Naming and click the green plus sign to create a new Net service name. 85

5. Enter auxdb in the Net Service Name field and click Next. 6. Select TCP/IP (default) as the protocol. Click Next. 7. Enter the host name of your PC in the Host Name field. Accept the default of 1521 for the port number. Click Next. 8. Enter aux.oracle.com in the Service Name field. Click Next. 86

9. Click Finish. 10. Select File and Save Network Configuration to save the changes you made. 11. Click File and Exit to exit from Oracle Net Manager. 12. You can view your updated tnsnames.ora file in the /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/network/admin directory. AUXDB = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = edrsr10p1.us.oracle.com)(port = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = aux.oracle.com) ) 3) Create an initialization parameter file for the auxiliary instance. 1. Create a text initialization parameter file named initaux.ora from your server parameter file in the $HOME/auxinstance directory. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ cd $HOME/auxinstance [oracle@edrsr10p1 auxinstance]$ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 29 10:51:53 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.

Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options SQL> create pfile='$home/auxinstance/initaux.ora' from spfile; File created. 2. Edit the initaux.ora initialization parameter file to make the following changes for the auxiliary instance: audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/aux/adump' background_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/aux/bdump control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/aux/control01.c tl','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/aux/control02.ctl','/u01/ 87

app/oracle/oradata/aux/control03.ctl' db_name='aux' user_dump_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/aux/udump' Add the following parameters: DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT= /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl, /u01/app/oracle/oradata/aux LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT= /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl, /u01/app/oracle/oradata/aux Remove the lines at the beginning of the file that begin with orcl.. Add the comment character, #, to this line: *.dispatchers='(protocol=tcp) (SERVICE=orclXDB)' 4) Start the auxiliary instance in NOMOUNT mode using the initaux.ora file. 1. Set the ORACLE_SID environment variable to aux. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ ORACLE_SID=aux [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ echo $ORACLE_SID Aux 2. Invoke SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 29 11:38:53 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.

1. Create a server parameter file with the default name of spfileaux.ora from the text initialization parameter file. SQL> create spfile from pfile='$home/auxinstance/initaux.ora'; File created. 2. Exit from SQL*Plus. 6) Verify that your target database (orcl database) is mounted or open. 1. Set your ORACLE_SID to orcl. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ ORACLE_SID=orcl [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ echo $ORACLE_SID orcl [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ 2. Log in to SQL*Plus as SYSDBA. 3. Query V$DATABASE to determine whether your database is open. SQL> select open_mode from v$database; OPEN_MODE ---------- READ WRITE 4. Exit from SQL*Plus. 7) Start RMAN with a connection to the target database (orcl) and the auxiliary instance. 1. Set your ORACLE_SID to aux. Invoke RMAN and connect as SYSDBA.Connect to the target database. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ ORACLE_SID=aux [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ echo $ORACLE_SID aux [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ rman Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Mar 30 07:34:06 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.

9) You now want to perform TSPITR for the HRTEST tablespace to return it to the state prior to the updates. Execute the lab_07_01_09_01.sql script to determine whether there are any dependencies that will prevent the TSPITR operation. 1. Execute the lab_07_01_09_01.sql script. SQL> @lab_07_01_09_01 SQL> SELECT obj1_owner, obj1_name, obj1_type, ts1_name, 2 obj2_owner, obj2_name, obj2_type, ts2_name, 3 constraint_name, reason 4 FROM SYS.TS_PITR_CHECK 5 WHERE (TS1_NAME IN ('HRTEST') 6 AND TS2_NAME NOT IN ('HRTEST')) 7 OR (TS1_NAME NOT IN ('HRTEST') 8 AND TS2_NAME IN ('HRTEST')) 9 / no rows selected No rows selected indicates that there are no dependencies to any tablespaces outside of the recovery set, so you can proceed with the tablespace point-in-time recovery. 10) You can use Enterprise Manager Database Control or RMAN command line to perform tablespace point-in-time recovery. The answer presents the solution using Enterprise Manager Database Control. If you want to use RMAN command line, refer to the course notes for detailed information and execute the RECOVER TABLESPACE command as follows: RECOVER TABLESPACE hrtest UNTIL SCN <scn> AUXILIARY DESTINATION /u01/app/oracle/oradata/tspitr ; 1. Invoke Enterprise Manager Database Control and log in as SYS/ORACLE as SYSDBA. 2. Select the Maintenance page. 3. Select Perform Recovery in the Backup/Recovery section. 4. Select Tablespaces in the Object Level Recovery section. The page refreshes. Accept the default selection Recover to current time or a previous point-in-time. Click Perform Object Level Recovery. 104

5. Select Recover to a prior point-in-time and specify the SCN you recorded earlier. Click Next. 105

6. Specify the auxiliary instance location of /u01/app/oracle/oradata/tspitr. Click Add to select the tablespace. 7. Select the HRTEST tablespace. Click Select. 106

8. Select the HRTEST tablespace and click Next. 9. Accept No. Restore the files to the default location. On the Perform Object Level Recovery: Rename page. Click Next. 10. Review the information and click Submit. 107

11. The Processing: Perform Object Level Recovery page is displayed. 12. After the recovery completes, the Perform Recovery: Result page is displayed. You can review the TSPITR operation by scrolling through the output window. 13. Click OK. 11) Verify that the HRTEST tablespace is online. 1. In Enterprise Manager Database Control, navigate to the Administration page. 2. Select Tablespaces and view the status of the HRTEST tablespace. 108

12) Verify that the SALARY columns in HRTEST.EMPLOYEES for the employees in department 60 contain the correct values. 1. Invoke SQL*Plus and execute the lab_07_01_12_01.sql script. SQL> @lab_07_01_12_01 SQL> select employee_id, last_name, salary 2 from hrtest.employees 3 where department_id = 60 4 / EMPLOYEE_ID LAST_NAME SALARY ----------- ------------------------- ---------- 103 Hunold 9000 104 Ernst 6000 105 Austin 4800 106 Pataballa 4800 107 Lorentz 4200 2. The highest salary value should be back to the original value you recorded in step 7. 13) Execute the lab_07_01_13_02.sql script to add a constraint to the HRTEST.DEPARTMENTS table. 1. Invoke SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA. 2. Execute the lab_07_01_13_02.sql script. SQL> @lab_07_01_13_02 SQL> connect / as sysdba Connected. SQL> GRANT references (location_id) on hr.locations to Hrtest 2 / Grant succeeded. SQL> connect hrtest/hrtest Connected. 109

SQL> ALTER TABLE hrtest.departments 2 ADD CONSTRAINT dept_loc_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (location_id) 3 REFERENCES hr.locations (location_id) 4 / Table altered. 14) Assume you need to perform TSPITR on the HRTEST tablespace again. Execute the lab_07_01_14_02.sql query to determine whether there are any dependencies outside the recovery set. 1. Invoke SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA. 2. Execute the lab_07_01_14_02.sql script. SQL> @lab_07_01_14_02 SQL> set echo on SQL> SELECT obj1_owner, obj1_name, obj1_type, ts1_name, 2 obj2_owner, obj2_name, obj2_type, ts2_name, 3 constraint_name, reason 4 FROM SYS.TS_PITR_CHECK 5 WHERE (TS1_NAME IN ('HRTEST') 6 AND TS2_NAME NOT IN ('HRTEST')) 7 OR (TS1_NAME NOT IN ('HRTEST') 8 AND TS2_NAME IN ('HRTEST')) 9 / OBJ1_OWNER OBJ1_NAME OBJ1_TYPE TS1_NAME --------------------------------------------------------- OBJ2_OWNER OBJ2_NAME OBJ2_TYPE TS2_NAME ------------------------------ -------------------------- CONSTRAINT_NAME REASON ------------------------------ HR LOCATIONS TABLE EXAMPLE HRTEST DEPARTMENTS TABLE HRTEST DEPT_LOC_ID_FK constraint between tables not contained in recovery set HR LOCATIONS TABLE EXAMPLE HRTEST DEPARTMENTS TABLE HRTEST DEPT_MGR_FK constraint between tables not contained in recovery set HR LOCATIONS TABLE EXAMPLE HRTEST DEPARTMENTS TABLE HRTEST DEPT_ID_PK constraint between tables not contained in recovery set HR LOCATIONS TABLE EXAMPLE 110

HRTEST DEPARTMENTS TABLE HRTEST DEPT_NAME_NN constraint between tables not contained in recovery set 15) If you wanted to complete the tablespace point-in-time recovery for the HRTEST tablespace now, what would you need to do? Note: You will not perform another tablespace point-in-recovery in this practice. You would need to disable the DEPT_LOC_ID_FK constraint that was added to your HRTEST.DEPARTMENTS table or you would need to add the tablespace that contains the HR.LOCATIONS table to your recovery set. 111

Practice Solutions for Lesson 8 In this practice, you create a recovery catalog in your instructor s database and register your database in the recovery catalog. 112

Solutions for Practice 8-1: Create the Recovery Catalog and Register the Database The tablespace for the recovery catalog and the recovery catalog owner have been created in the instructor database. The tablespaces are named RCTS01 RCTS12. The users are named RCUSER01 RCUSER12. 1) Connect to the recovery catalog database (instructor s database) with the appropriate recovery catalog owner name (if you are using PC01, connect as RCUSER01) using RMAN. Create the recovery catalog in your assigned tablespace. (If you are using PC01, your assigned tablespace is RCTS01.) The service name is RCDB. This example uses RCUSER10 as the username and password. Your assigned username and password may differ from this example. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ rman catalog rcuser10/rcuser10@rcdb Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Mar 16 13:58:52 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved. connected to recovery catalog database RMAN> create catalog recovery catalog created RMAN> exit Recovery Manager complete. 2) Using RMAN, connect to your target database and the recovery catalog database. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ rman target / catalog rcuser10/rcuser10@rcdb Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Thu Mar 16 14:22:04 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.

catalog. What happens? Why? The target database is not yet registered in the recovery catalog, so the resync command fails. RMAN> resync catalog; RMAN-00571: ========================================================== = RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: ========================================================== = RMAN-03002: failure of resync command at 03/16/2006 14:28:21 RMAN-06004: ORACLE error from recovery catalog database: RMAN-20001: target datg 4) Register the target database in the recovery catalog. You can use RMAN commandline or Enterprise Manager for this step. Use RMAN command-line OR Enterprise Manager Database Control. 1. Using RMAN: RMAN> register database; database registered in recovery catalog starting full resync of recovery catalog full resync complete RMAN> 2. Using Enterprise Manager: Select Recovery Catalog Settings on the Maintenance Page. Select Add Recovery Catalog on the Recovery Catalog Settings page. 114

The Add Recovery Catalog: Database page is displayed. On this page, enter the information requested for the recovery catalog database. Click Next. Review the information on the Add Recovery Catalog: Review page and click Finish. The Processing: Configure Catalog page is displayed. After processing completes, you are returned to the Recovery Catalog Settings page. Select Use Recovery Catalog and click OK. 115

The Processing: Register Database page is displayed. After the processing completes, the Recovery Catalog Settings page is displayed indicating that the database was successfully registered with the recovery catalog. 116

5) Create an RMAN script named whole_backup to make a whole database backup. Do not execute the whole_backup script at this time. 1. Using RMAN, connect to your target database and the recovery catalog. [oracle@edrsr10p1 oracle]$ rman target / catalog rcuser10/rcuser10@rcdb Recovery Manager: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Mar 20 11:59:00 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved. connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1090770270) connected to recovery catalog database 2. Create the whole_backup script using the CREATE SCRIPT command. RMAN> CREATE SCRIPT whole_backup 2> { 3> BACKUP DATABASE; 4> } created script whole_backup 6) Use the PRINT command to query the recovery catalog and verify the creation of your whole_backup script. RMAN> PRINT SCRIPT whole_backup; printing stored script: whole_backup {BACKUP DATABASE; } RMAN> 7) In preparation for later practices, use RMAN to unregister your database from the recovery catalog. 1. Connect to your target database and the recovery catalog. 2. Execute the UNREGISTER DATABASE command. RMAN> unregister database; database name is "ORCL" and DBID is 1090770270 Do you really want to unregister the database (enter YES or NO)? yes database unregistered from the recovery catalog 117

In this practice, you monitor the progress of your RMAN backup jobs. Practice Solutions for Lesson 9 118

Solutions for Practice 9-1: Use SQL to Monitor the Progress of RMAN Backups 1) Invoke RMAN and delete all obsolete backups. 1. Invoke RMAN and connect to your target database. 2. Execute the DELETE OBSOLETE command. RMAN> delete obsolete; using target database control file instead of recovery catalog RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1 allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=133 devtype=disk allocated channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: sid=158 devtype=sbt_tape channel ORA_SBT_TAPE_1: Oracle Secure Backup Deleting the following obsolete backups and copies: Type Key Completion Time Filename/Handle -------------------- ------ ------------------ ----------- --------- Backup Set 80 14-APR-06 Backup Piece 81 14-APR-06 /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_ap Archive Log 76 14-APR-06 /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_ac Backup Set 101 14-APR-06 Backup Piece 102 14-APR-06 /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_ap Do you really want to delete the above objects (enter YES or NO)? yes eleted backup piece backup piece handle=/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/orcl/backupset/ 2006_04_8 deleted archive log archive log filename=/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/orcl/archivel og/2006_08 Deleted 18 objects RMAN> 119

2) Open a second terminal window. Change to the labs directory. Invoke SQL*Plus and connect as SYSDBA. You will use this second session to monitor a database backup. 3) Return to your first terminal window. In your RMAN session, begin a whole database backup. 1. Execute the RMAN BACKUP DATABASE command. RMAN> backup database; Starting backup at 17-APR-06 released channel: ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 using channel ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backupset channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backupset input datafile fno=00001 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf input datafile fno=00003 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf input datafile fno=00005 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/example01.dbf input datafile fno=00002 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/undotbs01.dbf input datafile fno=00004 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/users01.dbf input datafile fno=00007 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/hrtest01.dbf input datafile fno=00006 name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/example02.dbf channel ORA_DISK_1: starting piece 1 at 17-APR-06 4) Use your SQL*Plus session to monitor the progress of the whole database backup by querying the V$SESSION_LONGOPS view. By using this view you can determine whether the backup is progressing normally or hanging. If the backup is progressing normally, the TIME_REMAINING column should be decreasing. Execute the lab_09_01_04_01.sql script to query V$SESSION_LONGOPS. 1. Execute the lab_09_01_04_01.sql script. SQL> @lab_09_01_04_01 SQL> SELECT sid,start_time,elapsed_seconds, time_remaining 2 FROM v$session_longops 3 / SID START_TIM ELAPSED_SECONDS TIME_REMAINING ---------- --------- --------------- -------------- 131 17-APR-06 0 Solutions for Practice 9-2: Use Enterprise Manager to Monitor RMAN Jobs 120
