The first thing i want to really find out after the initial database creation with a new version is how does that affect my backup/restore strategy - this is the most important job the DBA has - making sure that the database can always be raised from the dead.
With the change to multitenant there are loads of new things to try out but i thought initially i just try a relatively simple full backup and restore of a PDB.
Now this needs a little thought - with the new architecture redo is shared between everything in the container but rman lets us backup a pdb seemingly 'on its own'. The syntax lets us do this and indeed it will backup the datafiles belonging to the pdb but in the event you need to restore you will need the files from the shared redo stream of course,
Anyway here is a simple demo of a backup and restore of a pdb - as everything is so small and i didnt do much there to no mention of archive redo and recover just needs online redo which doesnt really get mentioned.
Lets backup a PDB called TEST
RMAN> backup pluggable database 'TEST';

And we can see it has failed as it wants to overwrite the CDB system datafile - which of course is in use. This is an important thing to understand - in much the same way as you cant directly do a point in time recovery of a tablespace directly in a database the same is true of a PDB.
The way it gets round this is the same as for tablespace point in time recovery - a whole new database has to be created and a subset of the original restored to that - this is then recovered using the shared archive to the correct point in time and then plugged back in to the original.
However when i try again it still fails with the same error.
What has happened is (and the error is not that great) is that i have not backed up the CDB at all so there is no old copy of the CDB datafiles from before the scn i want to restore to the aux instance.
Lets do a full backup and choose an SCN just after that to restore to.

ReplyDeleteI just want to create a job on daily basis to take backup of the Oracle pdb. I found your link for taking backup and Restoring it.
Oracle DBA Blog 2.0: 12c PDB backup and recovery
I removed some of the Stored procedures after taking back up as described in the link and recovered it after but I didn't got it back. There was no error being observed
Please help to take backup and schedule it.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSo you took a backup, removed some stored procedures and then tried to restore the pdb from backup - which worked. However the stored procedures that should have some back from the backup were missing?
Have you got the logfile from the backup/restore?
Did you only restore the pdb to the point in time before you dropped the stored procedres - otherwise it will try and come back to 'now' using the archive redo.
Cheers,
Rich
