RE: ADCFGCLONE.PL at DB fail

Thanks Mostafa..

 

So each time you have to do import and export of the tablespace :-(

Hi Mamta ,

 

How are you?

 

You are welcome

 

Yes this problem was since 4 months and solved.

 

When I was trying to perform post clone phase it always see the entry of
this corrupted datafile and It is not prersent although I run the
utility of makappsutil.pl which creates the stage area again and clone
folder , and the conf.drv  and performing preclone again but it still
see that missed corrupted datafile that was unpresent.. so I had to
export and import the tablespace through exporting the used datafiles
and dropping all the old tablespace including that datafile then
creating again the same tablespace by the same name and creating the
apporpriate datafiles then importing the tablespace with privilege from
the dump file I had.

 

So the entries are clean and I performed the postclone phase with no
problems in the entry of that bad datafile that was created by fault.

 

that problem always happen in R 9i because I couldnt drop any datafile
separetly from certain tablespace So I had to drop the whole TS.

But in 10G I can drop any datafile separetly from any tablespace.

 

If you have any concerns tell me.

 

Regards,

Hi James,

 

Thanks for ur quick response.

I want to clarify an issue.Actually this datafile is created since long
of time but it was created by mistake by an unspecialist ,
(GMFD0.DBF.ORA) which is wrong extension but when he tried to solve this
issue it was made offline but couldnt be removed by enterprise manager
after that. Then deleted too safely from DATA_TOP and no problems
happened and the database running normal till the moment.
But Enterprise Manager still showing that it is offline and needs
recovery , But it is removed physically from datafiles, causing no
errors in starting up and shutting down the database.

 

It had no blocks and no transactions are performed over it.

 

The precolone  finished successfully at source as you see in the log
file.And No patches applied at all after after the preclone  Also The
backup is taken full successfully. 

 

Is there a solution to solve this issue at target as this problem shall
repeat again as no transactions or patches applied after precolone
phase.

 

Also Mr. James if I succeeded to remove this refer in Enterprise Manager
by performing some sql statements at source DB to solve this issue of
Datafile at Source in ordre to succeed at Target.

 

Thanks alot for your support

I suspect that a datafile was added to the source database in-between
steps of your clone.
  
Here's what generally happens:
  
1)  When you run
 adpreclone.pl, it (essentially) does an "alter
database backup controlfile to trace" and stores the information from
that in a file within ${ORACLE_HOME}/appsutil.  This represents all of
the datafiles in the database at that particular time.
  
2)  You then take your database backup for the clone.
  
3)  When you run adcfgclone.pl on the
 dbTier, it uses the information
from #1 above to try to generate a new controlfile.
  
In your case, since you had to rerun adpreclone.pl on your source, the
information gathered in #1 represents the state of the source at that
time.  Your backup (your target) represents an earlier time (prior to
the addition of that datafile).  So, the "create controlfile" step
that adcfgclone is doing is going to fail.
  
Simplest suggestion?  If you haven't applied ANY patches to the source
database since you started the cloning process, just take another
backup of the database and bring it over.  If you HAVE applied ANY
patches, you'll want to re-clone the whole thing.
