Restore Oracle Intelligent Policy backup using Recovery Catalog

[Mahmoud_Moussa]

Dear All 

I have a Master Server with solaris 10 OS and Netbackup 7.6.1
The media server and the client are the same master server
 

 My question is split into two parts 
First Part:
I'm using the Oracle Intelligent Policy 
First I would like to mention that restore operation from the GUI Netbackup  doesn't restore control files , It only can restore datafiles , Archivelogs , tablespaces , but when it comes to control file I use the rman command line

 Where can I raise such issue ,so they can develop it in the next versions?

Second Part :
I used a recovery catalog so when I try to initiate the restore operation it's not initiated ?
I go to the restore prompt and fill all the requirements and all boxes but at the end it says that the restore operation was initiated successfully , however this is not true as I can't see anything in the activity monitor or in the task progress tab

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Q1. You can create an idea here on the connect forum and stage what enhancement you would like to see. Or you could talk to product management.

Q2. Please post what you're referring to as its not clear what the issue is. What commands are you issuing?

Thanks for your answer for the Q1

For the second part I'm not using commands I'm using the GUI when you go to Backup, Archive & Restore 
then select the client,the master server , the destination 
then it lists the backed up files 
then I choose the whole database and click on Restore on the right down  corner then compelete the steps and go through the restore prompts until I select finish to start the restore operation and it really says 
Restore operation has successfully been initiated do you want to follow the task 
I click yes then go to the task tab to find nothing is running :D

However it succeeds when I don't choose the option to restore from Recovery catalog

Ok, do you have a RMAN catalog database set up in the environment? If so, have you configured it whilst registering the database.

I suspect you don't have one and the default is then for rman to write to the control file. And since its working you know that the control file was used to record previous backups.

Q1: My experience has been that most Ideas posted on Connect is getting ignored. Best to reach out to Product Management to suggest product enhancement. Q2: Where are you opening this GUI? I have no experience with it, but from NBU point of view, all restores must be initiated from the destination client. To see what is happening in NBU, ensure all of these log folders exist : On master : bprd (restart NBU after creating the folder ) On client : dbclient (with 777 permission )
