Never mind. I found the "recover database" command. It worked like a charm!! The network admin was happy too!!

I have a very bad situation. When I got in this morning I saw that the nightly backup was hung up. I do a cold backup to another server and then the network admins backup my backup to tape. I did a shutdown abort and then restarted my database. But during the startup I got this in my <SID>alrt.log

EMN0 started with pid=19
Mon Aug 13 06:46:23 2001
KCF: write/open error block=0x1c75 online=1

     file=10 E:\ORANT\ORADATA\DISPATCH\DISDATA01_01.DBF
     error=27072 txt: 'OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to

file
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.'
DBW0: terminating instance due to error 1242 Instance terminated by DBW0, pid = 457
Dump file I:\orant\admin\DISPATCH\bdump\dispatchALRT.LOG

I also had a oradim.txt file created with this info;

ORA-01113: file 10 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 10: 'E:\ORANT\ORADATA\DISPATCH\DISDATA01_01.DBF'

ORA-01113: file 8 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 8: 'E:\ORANT\ORADATA\DISPATCH\CIMDATA01_01.DBF'

ORA-01113: file 10 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 10: 'E:\ORANT\ORADATA\DISPATCH\DISDATA01_01.DBF'

Now comes the good part. Guess what part of the backup process was not scheduled as it should have been. That's right, the tape backups!! The network admins never scheduled my data for backup to tape. All I have is last nights backups which are no good. I opened a TAR but if any of you have any ideas I can try, I'm open for anything. My database is down. I also just heard that my father is hospitalized. Today really sucks!!

Thanks,

Dave
