Complete Recovery With RMAN Backup.

BACKUP AND RECOVERY SCENARIOS Complete Recovery With RMAN Backup.
previous post i have posted a complete recovery with user-managed backup,
here we are going to see the complete recovery using rman backup.
you can perform complete recovery in the following 5 situations.
  RMAN Recovery Scenarios of complete recovery.
1. Complete Closed Database Recovery. System datafile is missing
2. Complete Open Database Recovery. Non system datafile is missing
3. Complete Open Database Recovery (when the database is initially closed). Non system datafile is missing
4. Recovery of a Datafile that has no backups.
5. Restore and Recovery of a Datafile to a different location.
1.Complete Closed Database Recovery. System Datafile is missing
   In this case complete recovery is performed, only the system datafile is missing,
   so the database can be opened without reseting the redologs.
       1.  rman target /
       2.  startup mount;
       3.  restore database or datafile file#;
       4.  recover database or datafile file#;
       5.  alter database open;

3.Complete Open Database Recovery (when the database is initially closed).
Non system datafile is missing
A user datafile is reported missing when trying to startup the database. The datafile can be turned offline and the database started up. Restore and
recovery are performed using Rman. After recovery is performed the datafile can be turned online again.
1. sqlplus /nolog
2. connect / as sysdba
3. startup mount
4. alter database datafile '' offline;
5. alter database open;
6. exit;
7. rman target /
8. restore datafile '';
9. recover datafile '';
10. sql 'alter tablespace online';

4.Recovery of a Datafile that has no backups (database is up).
If a non system datafile that was not backed up since the last backup is missing,
recovery can be performed if all archived logs since the creation
of the missing datafile exist. Since the database is up you can check the tablespace name and put it offline. The option offline immediate is used
to avoid that the update of the datafile header.
Pre requisites: All relevant archived logs.
1. sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
2. alter tablespace offline immediate;
3. alter database create datafile '/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/newdata01.dbf;
4. exit
5. rman target /
6. recover tablespace ;
7. sql 'alter tablespace online';
If the create datafile command needs to be executed to place the datafile on a
location different than the original use:
alter database create datafile '/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/newdata01.dbf' as
'/user/oradata/u02/dbtst/newdata01.dbf'

restriction: controlfile creation time must be prior than datafile creation time.
for more reference refer previous blog post.(user-managed complete recovery).

5.Restore and Recovery of a Datafile to a different location. Database is up.
If a non system datafile is missing and its original location not available, restore can be made to a different location and recovery performed.
Pre requisites: All relevant archived logs, complete cold or hot backup.
1. Use OS commands to restore the missing or corrupted datafile to the new
location, ie:
cp -p /user/backup/uman/user01.dbf /user/oradata/u02/dbtst/user01.dbf
2. alter tablespace offline immediate;
3. alter tablespace rename datafile
'/user/oradata/u01/dbtst/user01.dbf' to '/user/oradata/u02/dbtst/user01.dbf';
4. rman target /
5. recover tablespace ;
6. sql 'alter tablespace online';

workshop5: 

follow the same example workshop4 for workshop 5 except creating new datafile, here you have to copy the recent backup file to the new disk location and perform recovery. thats it , rest of the procedures are same.

regards,
Rajeshkumar Govindarajan.

Awesome post! I was trying to test restoring a tablespace after moving all the datafiles elsewhere. When I went to offline the tablespace to do the restore, I was getting the ORA-01157 and ORA-01110 errors and couldn't get the tablespace offline because the database wasn't open. Noticed that in your example, you had to offline the datafile before being able to open the database, so offlined the datafiles first, then was able to open the database and offline the tablespace in order to do the restore. Thanks so much for sharing - this was very helpful!

Hi,
Could you please help me to clarify below mention doubt.

DECODE:-
SELECT DECODE (NULL,NULL,'TRUE','FALSE') AS VALUE FROM DUAL
OUTPUT:- TRUE

CASE:-
SELECT CASE NULL WHEN NULL THEN 'TRUE' ELSE 'FALSE' END AS CASE_TEST FROM DUAL

OUTPUT :- FALSE

Why above mention queries are giving different output and what is the difference between case and decode?
Please reply on my email-id 'nidhikavaidh@gmail.com'

Regards,
Nidhika
