Restore Raw File | The Restore Raw File option is for advanced Oracle database administrators and should only be used if you have in-depth knowledge and understanding of Oracle database engine, Oracle database schema, knowledge of the database server and network infrastructure. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this restore option as there is need to utilize additional Oracle techniques and scripts to facilitate a manual database restore. Please refer to the following articles of Oracle Database Backup and Recovery User's Guide for details: |
Restore database to | Choose the destination to restore the file/database to, ie. 'Original location' or 'Alternate location'. |
Oracle Home | This is where the Oracle_Home path is located. This is already set to the location of the Oracle_Home by default. |
Host | This value is set to 127.0.0.1 by default. |
Port | This is the port of the Oracle database instance. The default port is 1521. |
SID | A database is referenced by at least one Oracle instance which is uniquely identified from any other instance on this computer by an Oracle System Identifier (SID). |
Password | This is the password for the system user account in the new database. |
Confirm password | Confirm the password for the system user account in the new database. |
Database Area | The location where the database files will be restored to. |
Control file Filename | The filename of the control file to be restored. |
Control file File Directory | The location where the control files will be restored to. |
Data files Filename | The filename of the data files filename to be restored. |
Data files File Directory | The location where the data files will be be restored to. |
Redo Log Groups Filename | The filename of the Redo log groups to be restored. |
Redo Log Groups File Directory | The location where the redo log groups will be restored to. |
Flash Recovery Area | This is used as the default for all disk based backup and recovery operations, and is also required for automatic disk based backup using Enterprise Manager. Oracle recommends that the database files and recovery files be located on physically different disks for data protection and performance. |
Temporary Directory | This is the temporary directory for the files to be restored to. |
NOTE: If a restore will be performed to an alternate location, it is required to change the Oracle SID and port number.
As the password validation is performed during the start of the actual restore process after the hostname, port number, SID, and all the database file locations are confirmed, ensure that you have entered the correct password in the Database Credentials. If a mistake in entering the correct password is made, this will result to a failed restore process and will require to go back at the beginning to start all the configuration settings again.
Please note that the add network drive feature is not supported in the 'Restore raw file' option. This option can only select network drives which have already been setup in Windows.
