Dear Experts,

our objective is to restore a table from Source_PDB to Destination_PDB via Import functionality provided by CommVault.

 

Setup: CommServe Version 11.32.49; Source_ and Destiantion_CDB are both Oracle 19.22. 

 

The Destination_CDB was set up according to CommVault documentation. The Destination_CDB and Source_CDB are both included to be in tnsnames.ora on either sides. Remote crosswise sqlplus-connect is working from both sides. 

 

In Commvault-GUI we did:

 

Commcell → Client_Computers → select Source_Client →  right-click Oracle Source-CDB → select All Tasks → select Browse And Restore → select Table View + set Time Range + End Time (select Date and PointInTime)→  View Content → Select table and its dependent tables from the respective schema in the Source_PDB → Recover All Selected …

In the window “Table Restore Options for Clients Source_CDB_Client SID: Source_CDB”  in the Tab “General” : 

Set Destination Client  Destination_Client_Name;

Set Use Oracle Settings from Auxiliary CDB;

Check Import;

Selected Destination_PDB;  

#A1 Issue : the status of the destination client is not getting refreshed (it says: “Getting Status..” )

In the Tab “Table Restore” :

Checked the list of tables selected for restore;

Checked Auxiliary Instance;

Filled in Auxiliary CDB Name;

Failed to fill in path to auxiliary instance’s pfile and Staging Path, because “Current Selected” is shown for the Source_CDB_Machine only. 

#A2 Issue:  the field Database Client is grayed out and can’t be set to show the destination client.

 

An attempt was made to solve #1 and #2 Issues by restarting CommVault-Client and restarting the Destination_CDB and repeating the above mentioned steps immediately after the restart.

As for #A1 Issue:  Status was shown as OPEN.

As for #A2 Issue:  Database client was settable to Destination_Client.

 

Started the Restore Procedure by clicking on “OK”.

 

Table Restore Procedure fails with #B1 Issue:

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
connected to auxiliary database: TSRST127 (not mounted)

Suspended the job, checked DB-Status: not mounted. Restarted and opened the Destination_CDB.

Resumed the job. Received the same RMAN-Error. Killed the job after 3-rd attempt.

 

Now, when repeating the whole procedure from: see above just after “In Commvault-GUI we did:” until  “#A2 Issue: ..[...]...client” leaves us with #A1 and #A1 Issues still unsolved.

 

We would greatly appreciate Your quick response and valuable assistance in solving #A1, #A2 and #B1!

 

Kind regards,

Florian
