Tablespace point in time recovery (TSPITR) in v.8.1.7
        without stopping database 

	Checked on Linux 8.1.7 database

Problem: you deleted or truncated table with data
	 and now you have to recover it
	 from schema TOOLMAN deleted table TOOLMAN_USED_SPACES
	 Have to restore/recover this table

Exists:	 rman files / arch files

=======================================
I. Setting clone auxiliary database
	sys/aux (db name: aux)
=======================================

 *** Session from where we start clone database *** (oracle, d0old, $ORACLE_SID is aux)

 1) create directory where AUX database will reside
    /usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/

 2) create init<aux>.ora file :  initaux.ora     (see below content of this file)

	db_name = d0onhis
	compatible = 8.1.0
	remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive
	lock_name_space = aux
	db_domain = fnal.gov
	service_names = aux.world, aux.fnal.gov
	NLS_DATE_FORMAT='MON DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
	# db_file_name_convert: will use "set newname for datafile .." in recover_tbs
	# log_file_name_convert: to convert redo*.log files
	db_file_name_convert = ("/usr/dbs1/oradata/d0onhis/","/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/")
	log_file_name_convert = ("/usr/dbs1/oradata/d0onhis/","/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/")
	background_dump_dest = /usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/
	core_dump_dest =       /usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/
	user_dump_dest =       /usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/
	log_archive_start = FALSE
	control_files = (/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/control_aux_01.ctl)
	##########
	db_block_size = 16384
	db_files = 1000 
	b_file_multiblock_read_count = 15
	db_block_buffers = 7500
	shared_pool_size = 500000000
	shared_pool_reserved_size = 50000000	
	log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
	processes = 100                                
	dml_locks = 200                        
	log_buffer = 640000
	max_dump_file_size = 10240      # limit trace file size to 5 Meg each
	global_names = TRUE 
	job_queue_processes = 1
	open_cursors = 2500

    if mapping is needed ft several datafiles, in V.9 there is
    db_file_name_convert = ("path old 1","path new 1","path old 2","path new 2", and so on)
    In 8.1.7 it didn't work 
        
 3) create soft link to this file in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory

 4) create password file for AUX database:
    in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs run 
    orapwd file=orapwaux password=aux

 5) setenv ORACLE_SID aux

 6) modify tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files in
    $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/
    .....
 
   ------- listener.ora

    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=aux.fnal.gov)
      (ORACLE_HOME=/usr/ora/oracle/v8_1_7)
      (SID_NAME=aux)
    )

    ------- tnsnames.ora

 aux =
   (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS =
           (COMMUNITY = )
           (PROTOCOL = TCP)
           (Host = d0old.fnal.gov)
           (Port = 1521)
        )
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = aux)
         (GLOBAL_NAME = aux.fnal.gov)
    )
   )
 aux.fnal.gov =
   (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS =
           (COMMUNITY = )
           (PROTOCOL = TCP)
           (Host = d0old.fnal.gov)
           (Port = 1521)
        )
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = aux)
         (GLOBAL_NAME = aux.fnal.gov)
    )
   )

 7) startup AUX database in NOMOUNT mode:

    svrmgrl -> connect internal --> startup momount ..

=======================================
II. Run rman 
=======================================

 *** Session from where we run rman *** (oracle, d0old, $ORACLE_SID is d0onhis)

  d0old->rman target rman_target/backup nocatalog

  Recovery Manager: Release 8.1.7.0.1 - Production

  RMAN-06005: connected to target database: D0ONHIS (DBID=1276580915)
  RMAN-06009: using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog

  RMAN> connect clone sys/aux@aux;

  RMAN-06020: connected to auxiliary database

  RMAN> @recover_tbs_toolman 

#    Content of recover_tbs_toolman script:
#    run {
#    allocate clone channel c1 type disk;
#    set newname for datafile 1 to '/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/system01.dbf';
#    set newname for datafile 2 to '/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/rollbk01.dbf';
#    set newname for datafile 55 to '/usr/dbs2/oradata/aux/toolman01.dbf';
#    recover tablespace toolman until time 'Jul 20 2004 11:30:00';
# }

 and the see rman_output.log file ..
 
 NB. to find datafile # do the following for
 system, rollback tablespaces:
 > select file_id,file_name from dba_data_files where file_name like '%roll%';
 and put .. into set newname ..

    Content of rman_output.log file:

    .........
	About to export Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery objects...
	EXP-00008: ORACLE error 3217 encountered
	ORA-03217: invalid option for alter of TEMPORARY TABLESPACE
	ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PITR", line 600
	ORA-06512: at line 1
	EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
  	
    <<<--- BUG in ORACLE 8.1.7, oracle says that it fixed in version 9 --->>>

     But .. we can do manually the rest ..

III. Export table from toolman schema in AUX database

     do the following:

     - from aux database

      > exp sys/aux@aux as sysdba
      > and export table toolman.toolman_used_spaces
        .........

     - from targer database (d0onhis)
    	SVRMGR> recover datafile '/usr/dbs1/oradata/d0onhis/toolman01.dbf';
	SVRMGR> alter tablespace toolman online;
       
     - and then on target machine run IMP to import that table
      
      > imp .. 	

   and this worked !!
