Hello all,

I have a DB in archivelog and when I am trying to recover a specific Datafile it says that a specific Archivelog is missing.

I try to change it to Online:
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '/u02/oracle/rbdb1/stuff01.dbf' ONLINE;
and I get the following error:
ORA-01113: file 21 needs media recovery

Then I give
SQL>recover datafile 'C:\DB11\ORADATA\DB11\Example01.dbf';

and then I get the missing 6335 archive log error.

Any idea what can I do next?

thanks in advance
Mimas

Thanks for the answer but how can I do that since the archivelog was deleted.

I am taking twice a day an archivelog backup, copy the previous one and then delete them for disk space.
The archivelog that is is being asked for recovery of the Datafile was deleted so what can I do?

You lose your file.
Now you have to take it offline, export what you can from other files in the tablespace, drop the tablespace and reconstruct your data.

Is this to say that you do actually have a backup of the specific archivelog? Was the archivelog deleted from it's original location AND the backup location?

Yes the archivelog was deleted from the path where the copy was.

If you have no more copy of archived log somewhere, you can't recover.
If you have one somewhere restore it.

Not much you can do without the required archive log. This just being the example tablespace, do you really need anything in this tablespace? If not, just drop and recreate the tablespace and objects.
