RMAN TABLESPACE POINT-IN-TIME RECOVERY - TSPITR

TABLESPACE POINT- IN - TIME RECOVERY TSPITR

TSPITR is one of the 11gR2 feature of the oracle database. In earlier versions of oracle we could
NOT recover a dropped tablespace using tablespace point in time recovery without affecting the
database. We have some limitations in earlier versions of oracle to perform TSPITR.
Lets say yesterday someone accidently dropped a tablespace or important object, but morning only
informed to you. During this time some others did many activities in the same database. Bringing
back the database to the particular time is really BAD choice. In this case, you have to perform
tablespace point in time recovery.
Tablespace Point-In-Time Recovery (generally abbreviated as TSPITR) is used to recovery of all
datafiles in a tablespace to a specific point in time. TSPITR is using transportable tablespace
functionality to restore one or more tablespace(s) to an earlier time without affecting rest of
the tablespaces and objects in the database by RMAN. Lets see how to restore & recover dropped
tablespace in a specific time.
RMAN carries out following steps to perform TSPITR
RMAN automatically creates and start the auxiliary instance and assigning random SID. It takes the
tablespace offline to be recovered in the target database.
It restores a backup control file from backup of the target database to the auxiliary instance
according to the TIME/SCN value specified in the UNTIL clause of the recover tablespace command.
Next it restores datafiles of the system, undo tablespaces with the datafiles of the recovered
tablespace from backup to the auxiliary destination.
RMAN first performs a recovery of the tablespace on the auxiliary instance and then recovers the
restored datafiles to a specified time. Opens the auxiliary database with RESETLOGS option.
TSPITR is used Datapump and Transportable Tablespace technology to extract and import the tablespace
metadata into the original target database.
First exports metadata of the recovered tablespace from the auxiliary instance to a dumpfile and
Shuts down the auxiliary instance. Next it imports the metadata of objects in the recovered
tablespace to the target database.
Now RMAN makes the restored tablespace as read/write and will take it offline. Finally removes the
auxiliary instance and delete all files associated with it.

LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS OF TSPITR

Cannot perform TSPITR (If archived redo logs are not avail).
Cannot perform TSPITR If database runs in NO ARCHIVELOG MODE.
Cannot use TSPITR to recover objects owned by SYS.
Cannot perform TSPITR on current default tablespace of the database.
Any tablespace with replicated master tables cannot be recovered with TSPITR. TSPITR does NOT
recover query optimizer statistics for recovered objects, as a DBA you must gather new statistics.
Once you have completed TSPITR on the tablespace, all previous backups of that tablespace are no
longer usable. So you should backup the tablespace after TSPITR has performed.

RMAN TABLESPACE POINT-IN-TIME RECOVERY - TSPITR

Before starting to perform TSPITR, we should check the relationship between objects of the recovered
tablespace and objects of the different tablespaces which will not be recovered.
Make sure objects in the tablespace are self-contained.
Lets say we have the tablesapace called CRMS. It contains table TAB1 but indexes on that table
resides on another tablespace called HRMS. In this case, if you want to recover CRMS tablespace
to some point-in-time, then you must recover HRMS tablespace to the same point in time otherwise
you will lose indexes.
Lets start automatic TSPITR. I am NOT using recovery catalog.

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
POINTS TO NOTE
Table TAB4 was not recovered because it was created under SYSTEM tablespace and TSPITR is NOT
supported for objects in system tablespace or objects are owned by SYS.
Index TAB3_GENDER_INDX1 is missing. Tablespace crms contains table TAB3 but indexes on that table
resides on another tablespace called USERS. In this case, if we perform TSPITR on crms tablespace
to some point-in-time, then we must recover USERS tablespace to the same point-in-time. But we
did not include users tablespace so index TAB3_GENDER_INDX1 was not recovered.

Once we performed TSPITR, you must re-take backup of the recovered tablespaces.
