This sometimes refer to a file that is older than the rest of the files. Thus the error message. However, I suspect that there may be something wrong with the backup. Check your alert log and see if there are any messages about a file that is in a fuzzy state (when Oracle begins the recovery). It is possible that Oracle is not sure what the current checkpoint number is in the header and thus not able to determine when the file was first backed up.

Comments and corrections always welcome.

Thanks,
James

Hi All,

I have been doing a point in time recovery.

We had an online backup all datafiles backed up on 17/5 we restored all datafiles and started the database in mount mode Then we issued the command
recover database until time '2000-05-18:12:00:00' Oracle started the recovery and we hit enter for the suggested archived redo log
files.
after a while Oracle came back with the message

ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below.
ORA-01194:file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-0110: data file 1: E:\ORANT\DATABASE\SYS1FCBP.ORA'

What could be the problem here
I checked that this file was restored from an old tape (17/5/2000)

Jack
