Restore operation fails with RMAN-11003 ORA-01511 ORA-01516

Error Description And Symptoms
I am performing disaster recovery operation. The new host path are different than from original host. So for the datafile I used SET NEWNAME .. clause. And for the online redo log file I used SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE .. " clause to rename the online logfiles to a valid location on to a new host. I have already ran the restore srcipt in previous but it fails to rename third online redo logfiles due to invalid location. And after fixing location whenever I ran the script again it fails with serveral RMAN and Oracle error as below.

ORA-01511: error in renaming log/data files
ORA-01516: nonexistent log file, datafile, or tempfile "/d00/oradata/db101db/redo01a.log"


In previous ran of this script it could rename successfully of the first two online redo logfile and it is recorded on the controlfile but the restore operation fails. Now subsequent run of the script will fail because no log file actually exist in the controlfile as they already renamed.

In previous run m,y online redo logfile is rename from /d00/oradata/db101db/redo01a.log to /backup03/webkey/redo01a.log. In the next run(in this example) it again try to search for online redo log in the location /d00/oradata/db101db/redo01a.log inside the controlfile but did not find any as they already modified. So error appear of nonexistent log file, datafile, or tempfile.

Solution of The Problem
While make database in mount state log on to SQL*Plus and query the member column of v$logfile and see the location of the member. Suppose only 1 member is modified then in the SQL*Plus you can issue,
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/backup03/webkey/redo01a.log' TO '/d00/oradata/db101db/redo01a.log';
to rename reflected new location to old one and thus you can re-run the script without modifying any line.

If you notice that are redolog files are renamed successfully to the new location then you can simply omit/comment the lines of rename redo log command. Like in below.
tdev> vi /backup03/webkey/rman_script
run{
set newname for datafile 1 to '/backup03/webkey/system01.dbf';

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Problem Symptom While performing a simple select statement it fails with error ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected like below. SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected Cause of the problem The ORA-00923 can be caused by two different reasons. 1)Oracle itself expect FROM keyword in the position but it could not find any. Like below, SQL> select 48*1024 om dual; select 48*1024 om dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected As no from keyword found so error arises. Oracle expected from in place of keyword dual. 2)The secong cause can sometimes mislead you. Like in case of SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where exp

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p
