A) Backup the following files.

Give appropriate names to the backup so that one can make out the file. <backup_loc> or <backup_location> in the doc = Refers to the location where you have taken the backup of the corresponding file A) Backup the following files on the TARGET system. As target user DB - dbaquest Backup init.ora , pwfile , spfile , listener.ora ,tnsnames.ora ,sqlnet.ora export BKPDATE=18jul10 echo $BKPDATE export DBBKP=<backup_location> echo $DBBKP Init.ora files cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initTARGET.ora $DBBKP/ cp $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/pwdTARGET.ora $DBBKP/ Env file cp $ORACLE_HOME/TARGET_dbaquest.env $DBBKP/ Tnsnames,listen and sqlnet files cp $TNS_ADMIN/listener.ora $DBBKP/ cp $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora $DBBKP/ cp $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora $DBBKP/

B) Take a hot backup of the SOURCE Instance C) alter database backup controlfile to trace Copy the trace file to the target system by the name TARGET_control.sql D) SHUTDOWN the target DATABASE and LISTENER E) Remove the TARGET ORACLE_HOME and database F) Copy the ORACLE_HOME and the database from the hot backup to the TARGET system to replace the target system. CONFIGURING TARGET DB

1 Login as target user user and Verify .profile and *.env file under $ORACLE_HOME Make sure that the environment is set for the Target System. cd $ORACLE_HOME pwd 2 Check all oracle related file systems for user and group ownership

cd <TARGET file systems> ls -l Check user and group ownership : It should be proper 3 Get tnsnames.ora and listener.ora from Backup / Create the tnsnames and listener.ora

cd <backup_location> pwd cp ./tnsnames.ora $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora cp ./sqlnet.ora $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora cp ./listener.ora $TNS_ADMIN/listener.ora 4 In config.c, make sure the entries are pointing to target .

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib ls -ltr config* vi config.c Take care of Group. It should be modified to look like : #define SS_DBA_GRP "dbTARGET" #define SS_OPER_GRP "dbTARGET"

Move config.o

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib mv config.o config.o.old_18jul10

As this is RAC to NON-RAC Refresh, relink Oracle with rac_off cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off

If this step did not fail with fatal errors, proceed with : make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle 7 Relink all the executables. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin ./relink all 8 Verify the Timestamp ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle

Verify that you can run sqlplus / as sysdba without prompting for any password. sqlplus "/ as sysdba" connected to idle instance

10

Get the init.ora from the backup location / Create the init.ora export BKPDATE=18jul10 echo $BKPDATE cd /ptsadmin/refresh/Refresh_TARGET/$BKPDATE/DB cp ./initTARGET.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/

11

Check the following parameter Values - should be appropriate :

log_archive_start = TRUE log_archive_dest = /TARGET/arch log_archive_format= TARGET_%t_%s.arc 12 Prepare the Control file script .

ls SOURCE1_control.sql cp SOURCE1_control.sql TARGET_control.sql vi TARGET_control.sql a) Consider the resetlog portion of this script . Delete the noresetlogs section of the script. b) Old Entry - CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "SOURCE" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG FORCE LOGGING

 New Entry - CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "SOURCE" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG c) Change the location of Datafiles to point to the Target, Replace all occurances of : SOURCE replaced by Replace all occurances of : SOURCE replaced by TARGET TARGET

d) Remove the TEMP file entries ( keep a safe copy, for later use). Keep a safe backup of Temporary creation part and redo logfile creation statements. After this , you can remove all lines after characterset and semicolon. e) Inspect the control file script The number of Datafiles should match that in the source. select count(*) from v$datafile at the source. Similarily, number of copied Datafiles at the Target should match the definition in the script. Example of what you will be left with in TARGET_control.sql STARTUP NOMOUNT; CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "TARGET" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG MAXLOGFILES 32 MAXLOGMEMBERS 5 MAXDATAFILES 1024 MAXINSTANCES 8 MAXLOGHISTORY 1361 LOGFILE GROUP 1 ( '/TARGET/..../log01a.dbf', '/TARGET/..../log01b.dbf' ) SIZE 200M, GROUP 2 ( '/TARGET/..../log02a.dbf', '/TARGET/..../log02b.dbf' ) SIZE 200M, GROUP 3 ( '/TARGET/..../log03a.dbf', '/TARGET/..../log03b.dbf' ) SIZE 200M, . DATAFILE '/TARGET/..../system01.dbf', '/TARGET/..../system02.dbf', . .. (representing other datafiles) CHARACTER SET UTF8

; 13 Create the Controlfile

$sqlplus "/ as sysdba" SQL>@TARGET_control.sql 14 See archive log mode

SQL>ARCHIVE LOG LIST Should show automatic archiving Enabled and Archivelog Mode 15 Recover the database SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel; Enter the archive file location, when prompted. Use the following query on SOURCE to get the list of archives needed to be recovered select THREAD#, SEQUENCE# from v$log_history where &1 between FIRST_CHANGE# and NEXT_CHANGE#; Here For the value for $1 to be given will come from the sequence returned by the command recover database using backup controlfile until cancel; which you have given on TARGET 16 Open the DB with resetlogs SQL> alter database open resetlogs; When the DB opens, check for any missing files or files needed for recovery SQL> select * from v$recover_file; SQL> select * from v$datafile where name like '%MISS%'; Should not return any rows for these queries. 17 Shutdown the Database 18 Make sure that the entries in oraInst.loc are correct.

Example $ cat /etc/oraInst.loc inventory_loc=/TARGET/oracle/product/oraInventory inst_group=dbTARGET

19 Check for the Default Temporary file select * from database_properties where property_name = 'DEFAULT_TEMP_TABLESPACE'; Confirm that this TEMP. If the default is not TEMP, SQL>alter database default temporary tablespace TEMP 20 Create the Temp datafiles , using the commands taken from the control file. ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE __________
Example - The commands will be similar to below

ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/TARGET/..../temp20.dbf' SIZE 134217728 REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 52428800 MAXSIZE 1800M; ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/TARGET/..../temp19.dbf' SIZE 134217728 REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 52428800 MAXSIZE 1800M; ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/TARGET/..../temp18.dbf' SIZE 134217728 REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 52428800 MAXSIZE 1800M; ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/TARGET/..../temp17.dbf' SIZE 134217728 REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 52428800 MAXSIZE 1800M; Verify dba_temp_files, for all the temp file entries added to TEMP SQL> select file_name from dba_temp_files; 21 Update global_name select * from global_name; update global_name set global_name='TARGET.ORACLEOUTSOURCING.COM'; commit; SQL> select * from global_name; GLOBAL_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------TARGET
