ORA-00959: tablespace '_$deleted$3$0' does not exist Error

20-AUG-2010 in Oracle forum OTN, a interesting thread , here i documented it for future reference.

thread: ORA-00959: tablespace '_$deleted$3$0' does not exist

i thank the forum Opponent Phiri Lighton and participants especially nicolas,ogan and chinar here.

here, we will see the examples , What are the possiblities to get ORA-950 Error

Changes
Made changes to the TEMP tablespace setup.
1. Created a temporary tablespace called TEMP1.
2. Set this tablespace to become the default temporary tablespace.
3. Dropped the existing permanent TEMP tablespace.
4. Renamed the default temporary tablesapce TEMP1 to TEMP.
Reason for this problem/issue
There is an open unpublished bug where basic problem is that a tablespace is renamed to one that use
to exist on the database. Here are the steps that will cause this problem.
create tablespace aa
create tablespace bb
drop tablespace aa
rename bb to aa
Then why it occurs is because when a tablespace is dropped, its ts$ entry is set to an invalid state, but it
is not deleted. When a rename is done, if the target name already has a ts$ entry, then during the
rename, because we cannot have two ts$ entries with the same name, the _$deleted$ construct is
introduced. The change is not taken care of properly, and is flushed to other dictionary tables
causing this problem.
Solution
To resolve in this case, just alter the user to have the new temporary tablespace name, replacing the
_$deleted entry.
SQL> create temporary tablespace temp2 tempfile '+GROUP01' size 20M;
Tablespace created.
SQL> create temporary tablespace temp3 tempfile '+GROUP01' size 20M;
Tablespace created.
SQL> create user testuser identified by testuser temporary tablespace temp2;
User created.
SQL> drop tablespace temp2;
Tablespace dropped.
SQL> alter tablespace temp3 rename to temp2;
Tablespace altered.
- Now look in ts$ and will see the _$deleted construct which includes the ts#.
SQL> select ts#, name from ts$;
TS# NAME
---------- ------------------------------
0 SYSTEM
1 UNDOTBS1
2 SYSAUX
3 TEMP
4 USERS
5 UNDO
6 MYDATA
7 MYINDEXES
8 TESTCASES
9 _$deleted$9$0
10 TEMP2
11 rows selected.
- And when you check the users temporary_tablespace, it too was changed to the _$deleted construct
which causes all the problems.
SQL> select username, temporary_tablespace
2 from dba_users where username = 'TESTUSER';
USERNAME TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TESTUSER _$deleted$9$0
- To resolve, just alter the user to a valid temporary tablespace.
SQL> alter user testuser temporary tablespace temp2;
User altered.
SQL> select username, temporary_tablespace
2 from dba_users where username = 'TESTUSER';
USERNAME TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TESTUSER TEMP2
To avoid this problem altogether, until the bug is fixed, do not rename a tablespace to one that use to
exist on the database. For example, here would be steps to complete the temp tablespace change.
create tablespace NEWTEMP
... change everyone and default temporary tablespace NEWTEMP
drop tablespace TEMP ... exisiting one
create tablespace TEMP ... building it the way you want
.... flip everyone back and default temporary tablespace TEMP
drop tablespace NEWTEMP

Recover a missing/excluded datafile after re-create new control file from controlfile trace file

This is the situation in which lost all control file, and DBA accidently create control file (recreated) with old controlfile trace file backup. After recover,DBA found some datafile is missing.
Here is the steps to recover those missing database datafiles.

RMAN TSPITR DEMO

Recovery Manager (RMAN) automatic tablespace point-in-time recovery (commonly abbreviated TSPITR) enables you to quickly recover one or more tablespaces in an Oracle database to an earlier time, without affecting the state of the rest of the tablespaces and other objects in the database.for theoritical part please refer oracle documentation.

Here in this demo i am going to create and truncate a table in tablespace USERS for schema(username) RAJESH and recover truncated table TEST1 of users RAJESH schema in tablespace USERS.

We can use RMAN TSPITR in the following conditions

1. Recovering data lost after an erroneous TRUNCATE TABLE statement;
2. Recovering from logical corruption of a table;
3. Undoing the effects of an incorrect batch job or other DML statement that has affected only a subset of the database;
4. Recovering a logical schema to a point different from the rest of the physical database, when multiple schemas exist in separate tablespaces of one physical database.

RMAN-03002 : ORA-01119: error in creating database file ORA-27038:

this is one of the interview question
your database corrupted/lost after adding a datafile to database you are only  having the backup of database before adding the datafile, the newly added datafile is not available in the backupset , what will happen how will you recover? Is the new added datafile will be available after the restore backup command?

the answer is yes the control contains the information about the newly added datafile so RMAN creates a new datafile with the same name and location and applies logs to the datafile to recover. it is similar to sql statement alter database create datafile statement.
here is an demo.

Re-create lost controlfile

Here in this demo i deleted all control files and re-created using trace file.
In Oracle forum OTN related to re-create controlfile, confusion between shutdown immediate and shutdown abort after controlfile lost. this demo helps you to re-create lost control file

SYSAUX datafile or tablespace corrupted or lost no backup available

Datafiles of the sysaux tablespace are not as critical as datafiles in the system tablespace but they are part of the Oracle configuration. Anyway you should never delete any datafile directly from the OS.
rman target /

report schema; -- identify number of your datafile
sql 'alter database datafile ? offline';
sql 'alter database open';


You should be able to open the database but you could have problems (depends on Oracle options you use)... If you don't want to experience/solve them export what you need and import in another database.

you can create a tablespace then :

alter user ??? default tablespace ???;


You should also give him quota on this tablespace

alter user ??? quota unlimited on ???;

Replace ??? by adequate values (username , tablespace name)

restore the server parameter file(spfile) from RMAN backup

1.Connect to target Database with RMAN.

i)If you have lost your spfile and dont have pfile then, follow the steps to recover spfile using RMAN.

RMAN>CONNECT TARGET /

ii)If your database is not up and you don't use recovery catalog then use,
RMAN>CONNECT TARGET /
RMAN>SET DBID=3148849783

2)Start the instance with dummy parameter file.
RMAN>STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT

Example:

3)Restore server parameter file.
To restore in default location,
RMAN> RESTORE SPFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;

To restore in another location,
RMAN> RESTORE SPFILE TO 'new_location' FROM AUTOBACKUP;
RMAN> restore spfile to '/tmp/spfilejay.ora' from autobackup;

If you want to restore to a pfile then use,
RMAN> restore spfile to pfile '/tmp/initjay.ora';

4)Restore Spfile from control file autobackup;
RMAN> run
2> { set controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/u01/app/oracle/backup/JAY_%F';
3> restore spfile from autobackup;
4> }

Note after restore spfile from RMAN shutdown and startup the database
else you will receive the error message
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Basics 10g Release 2 (10.2)

ORA-00283: ORA-00314: ORA-00312: Error and solution

While trying to restore controlfile from backup , while recovery i got the error

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-00314: log 2 of thread 1, expected sequence# 2 doesn't match 11
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/jay/redo02.log'

Reason:

In any case, the ArchiveLog must be backed up. Else, a RESTORE alone cannot do a RECOVER.

If your database backup did not include the ArchiveLogs, then the backup you created does not have the Redo information that Oracle must apply to the Database Backup. That is why you got the "unknown log'.
Also, if the controlfile backup is before the archivelog backup, the controlfile, even when restored, is not aware of the archivelogs in the backup created subsequent to it.
RMAN can still do a RECOVER , implicitly using the "BACKUP CONTROLFILE" and doing a rollforward but it needs to have to restore the ArchiveLog first -- and the information about which Backupset contains the ArchiveLog is not available to it. You would need to CATALOG the ArchiveLog BackupSet and then restore the archivelogs from there.
(If you use an RMAN Recovery Catalog database, then of course, the Catalog has information about the ArchiveLogs and the BackupSets containing the ArchiveLogs so RMAN queries the Catalog to identify the BackupSets and extracts the necessary ArchiveLogs from the Backupsets).

Solution:
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST

Disaster recovery using RMAN Demo


As part of disaster recovery exercise or to test the validity of a RMAN backup,  a full restore and recovery of databases can be performed on scratch or test servers utilising the production RMAN backups which have been restored from the tape backups on these test or scratch servers.

This note will illustrate the above procedure by detailing the steps required to restore the backup of a production database 
1.  same server with same location
2.  Different server with same location

The following assumptions are made in this note:

1.The RMAN backups have been restored from tape backups to the same backup location on the test server as the production server where the backup was originally taken
2.The identical directory structure as is present on production has been created on the test server. This will apply to not only the location of the database files (data, control files, redo log files), but also to the bdump,cdump, udump and adump locations. 
3.Controlfile autobackup has been enabled. This is important.

#Overview

 The recovery will fail at a point where it cannot restore any more archived redo log
files.
I had full backup so no error else it gives error , no problem just exit from rman relogin 
and open the database with resetlog.

      (FAILOVER_MODE=
      (TYPE=SELECT)
      (METHOD=BASIC)
     )
    )

[PRKC-1044 : Failed to check remote command execution setup for node

[PRKC-1044 : Failed to check remote command execution setup for node racnode1.localdomain using shells /usr/bin/ssh and /usr/bin/rsh Permission denied.]]

solution:
Configure SSH between two nodes

#

Log in as the software owner (in this example, the oracle user).

note: dont use su - oracle , logout and login as oracle user.
make sure you login as oracle user.

#

To ensure that you are logged in as the Oracle user, and that the user ID matches the expected user ID you have assigned to the Oracle user, enter the commands id. Ensure that Oracle user group and user and the terminal window process group and user IDs are identical.
example: check it on both nodes
[oracle@racnode1 ~]$ id 
uid=500(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba)
[oracle@racnode2 ~]$ id 
uid=500(oracle) gid=500(oinstall) groups=500(oinstall),501(dba)
#
While logged in as oracle perform the following on each of the nodes of the RAC:

1. cd $HOME
2. mkdir ~/.ssh
3. chmod 700 ~/.ssh
4. /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa
5. /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa


On Node 1:

1. cd $HOME/.ssh
2. cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
3. cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
4. Copy the authorized_keys file to the node 2. scp authorized_keys racnode2:/home/oracle/.ssh


On Node 2:

1. cd $HOME/.ssh
2. cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
3. cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys
4. scp authorized_keys racnode1:/home/oracle/.ssh

On each node, enter the following commands to start the SSH agent, and to load the SSH keys into memory:

$ exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent $SHELL
$ /usr/bin/ssh-add

At the prompt, enter the pass phrase for each key that you generated.

* Now perform a ssh between all the nodes including the node-priv hostnames as well. Check to make sure that ssh is configured well without prompting for the password (on both the nodes):
#
Can you make sure your sshd_config file as following entries uncommented?


X11Forwarding yes

X11DisplayOffset 10

X11UseLocalhost yes


If not then edit and uncomment them. Restart the ssh once you make these changes.

Restart OpenSSH server

Type the following command:

#/etc/init.d/ssh restart


Add the entries to the .bashrc file as oracle user
#

if [ -t 0 ]; then
stty intr ^C
fi

#

Try creating a symbolic link:

ln -s /usr/bin/ssh /usr/local/bin/ssh
ln -s /usr/bin/scp /usr/local/bin/scp

After you set the dsa and rsa keys in to the authorized_keys file.

From NODE 1

ssh racnode1 date
ssh racnode2 date

ssh racnode1.localdomain date
ssh racnode2.localdomain date

ssh racnode1-priv date
ssh racnode2-priv date

ssh racnode1-priv.localdomain date
ssh racnode2-priv.localdomain date

From NODE 2

ssh racnode1 date
ssh racnode2 date

ssh racnode1.localdomain date
ssh racnode2.localdomain date

ssh racnode1-priv date
ssh racnode2-priv date

ssh racnode1-priv.localdomain date
ssh racnode2-priv.localdomain date


Hope, This will resolve your issue.

ORA-01122: ORA-01110: ORA-01206: After RMAN duplicate in source database

ORA-01122: database file 1 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DATA/demodb/datafile/system.296.726853295'
ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id

Reason:

RMAN Duplicate command updates source database, datafile headers.


Solution:

Restore and Recover the database with RMAN Backup.

to avoid this error add the following entries in pfile(clone/duplicate database)
db_file_name_convert='+DATA/DEMODB/DATAFILE/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dupdb/'
log_file_name_convert='+DATA/DEMODB/ONLINELOG/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dupdb/'

or set new name command in rman script.
