Integrating Oracle and Data Protector

Restoring an Oracle Database

Restoring the Recovery Catalog Database

The Oracle recovery catalog database is exported using the Oracle export utility to a binary file and backed up by Data Protector. This file has to be restored back to the disk and then imported into the Oracle database using the Oracle import utility. Data Protector provides a facility to do this automatically using the Oracle integration.

To restore the recovery catalog database:

1.Ensure that the recovery catalog database is in the Open state.

2.In the Data Protector GUI, switch to the Restore context.

3.Under Restore Objects, expand Oracle Server, expand the client on which the database, for which you want to restore the recovery catalog, resides, and then click the database.

4.In the Restore action drop-down list, select Perform RMAN Repository Restore.

In the Results Area, select RECOVERY CATALOG.

If you want to change the recovery catalog login information, right-click RECOVERY CATALOG and click Properties. In Recovery Catalog Settings, specify the login information for recovery catalog.
