Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Change based recovery
Lisa,
Shut down your production database and FTP the control files over also. This will make your control files waaayyy ahead of your data files, thus forcing a recovery.
Right now, your database does not need recovery - everything is in synch. Your control files don't know anything about the archive logs because they are set back to last Friday - thus they cannot move beyond that.
Good Luck!

Hi Guys and Gals,
We are currently doing some testing to enable us to move our production
database from one unix box to another.
We are running a 7.3.4 db in archivelog mode. The approach that management
want to use is to restore the database on the new server from a backup and
then roll it forward using the archived redo logs.
I have a full cold back up from last Friday. I have restored the datafiles, controlfiles and redo logs onto our test server from the backup tape, and then ftp'd the archived logs over.
I then do -
SVRMGR> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 258304260 bytes Fixed Size 45092 bytes Variable Size 126925024 bytes Database Buffers 131072000 bytes Redo Buffers 262144 bytesDatabase mounted.
I would have expected it to display the names of the logs, but it doesn't, and when I check the alert log it shows 'No Media Recovery required'.
Where am I going wrong? I can't understand why it won't apply the archived logs. (Too hot today and brain not working properly!)
TIA.
