Migrate from 32 bit to 64 bit using RMAN

Migrate from 32 bit to 64 bit using RMAN

Tested: Oracle 9i R2

OS: Windows 2003 server
This article describes the very simple procedure to migrate a database from Windows 32 bit system to 64 bit using RMAN. Follow the steps below when the need arises to build a new Oracle Applications database instance (for a test migration or when re-organizing an existing production instance, for example). Before starting, plan carefully for such issues as the location of new DATAFILES and space considerations. The steps below specifically address the need to refresh a User-Test / Development instance with current production data.
Migrating through RMAN is much faster than Import/export but using the export/import utilities to rebuild your instance instead of cloning because an export/import rebuild provides the opportunity for clean-up and correction.

Step 1: Take a Backup on Source 32 Bit Server:

Connect the rman target to create a full backup of the database including all archivelogs:
CMD>RMAN TARGET SYS/*****@orcl3 CATALOG catalog/catalog@shaan

run {

How to Use ALTERNATE archive destination

How to Use ALTERNATE archive destination We can define an archive destination with value ‘ALTERNATE’, which will take over if primary destination is full. As per Oracle documentation “An archiving destination can have a maximum of one alternate destination specified. An alternate destination is used when the transmission of an online redo log from the primary site to the standby site fails”. In fact this is the concept of data guard, but can also be applied on standalone system.

RMAN Different errors and their Solution

RMAN Different errors and their Solution Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error: RMAN-20035, RMAN-6038 When you attempt a backup and receive the following error messages: RMAN-3014: Implicit resync of recovery catalog failed RMAN-6038: Recovery catalog package detected an error RMAN-20035: Invalid high RECID error It indicates the control file and the recovery catalog is not synchronized. RMAN detects that the control file currently in use is older than the control file previously used to resynchronize. Cause: This due to any of the scenario you are restore a backup controlfile through a non-oracle mechanism and then open the database through Resetlogs option or making a copy of control file through operating system utility and trying the restore on new system through RNAN. You do not use catalog so RMAN does not get any information regarding this process.  The recovery catalog indicates that the highest RECID is 100, but the control file indicates that the highe...

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8

Changing National Character Set AL16UTF16 to UTF8 The national character set is used for data that is stored in table columns of the types NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, and NCLOB.  In contrast, the database character set is used for data stored in table columns of the types CHAR, VARCHAR2 and CLOB. Like the database character set, the national character set is defined when the database is initially created and can usually no longer be changed, at least not easily or without involving quite a lot of work (export, recreate database, import). Except when creating the database, where the national character set is defined explicitly, it can change implicitly even when upgrading the database from Oracle8i to Oracle9i (or Oracle10g). You require SYSDBA authorization to change the national character set. Changing the national character set means changing an Oracle Dictionary entry, but no data is changed.  $sqlplus /nolog SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA SQL> Select property_...
