Hi,

DB: 8.1.5.0.0
O/S: Solaris 2.7

This database is the recovery catalog database. It is in noarchivelog mode and is backed up cold.
Unfortunately, something happened on Thursday and the database does not startup. I receive the following errors:

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 25410960 bytes

Fixed Size                    64912 bytes
Variable Size               8388608 bytes
Database Buffers           16777216 bytes
Redo Buffers                 180224 bytes

Database mounted.
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open

SQL> recover database;

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header

01:51:40
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: '/nsr/u02/oradata/RCVCATDB/log2a.rdo'

SQL> recover database until time '2003-01-24:00:00:00'; ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: '/nsr/u02/oradata/RCVCATDB/system01.dbf'

Is this the "perfect" time where I can use the _allow_resetlogs_corruption parameter??? I know I have the cold backups ... but they have sent the tapes off site and it is going to take a while for the tapes to be located and sent to the data center and we need this catalog database up and running asap.

Thanks
Sujatha
