Not to get too far off your topic here, but what does ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT do? I'm familiar with switching logfiles at the end of the backup, but I haven't seen that command before.

Thanks,

Beth

After you have done the hot backup, and do "ALTER TABLESPACE xxx END BACKUP;",
have you done that sentence "ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;" ?

In fact it's necessary to have the archive files of the redo logs used during the time of the hot backup ! In your case, One of the redo logs is necessary for the Recover.

Have you tried to give the name of the most recent Redo Log when RECOVER ask for the file /u00/app/oracle/admin/TEST/arch/arch.log1_18.dbf ?

Hi All!
I'm trying recovery TEST database from hot backup. I create database with a couple tables. Make couple log switches to generate redo log files (basically it's generate 3 redo log files: arch.log1_15.dbf , arch.log1_16.dbf, arch.log1_17.dbf).
Then I run hot backup and backup all dbf files, redo log files, control files and arch redo log files. Shutdown database and delete all files. Then I restore all files from hot backup. Then I mount database and run:

SVRMGR> recover database using backup control file until cancel;

ORA-00279: change 28494 generated at 03/06/02 13:19:24 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /u00/app/oracle/admin/TEST/arch/arch.log1_18.dbf
ORA-00280: change 28494 for thread 1 is in sequence #18

Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}

cancel

ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01195: online backup of file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: '/ff01uc31/ora_c15d05/TEST/oradata/system01.dbf'

It's looking for arch.log1_18.dbf files, which is, was not they're when I run my hot backup.
Any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks a lot.
