Paula,

What version of Oracle? Was this an rman restore from an rman backup? Is this a production instance? and lastly, if you can tell, did the incarnation change when you did the open resetlogs?

Regards,
Ruth

Guys,=20

I did the following:

execute script alloc_all_tapes;
restore database UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('07/01/07 12:00:00','MM/DD/YY = HH24:MI:S
S')";

recover database UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('07/01/07 12:00:00','MM/DD/YY = HH24:MI:S
S')";

Then I did an alter database open resetlogs

As developer mentioned he needed objects that were there on the 7th or = the 8th. He says they still aren't there and there were no changes between until the 9th.

Is this not recovery and restoring the database up till the UNTIL = TIME?????

Sometimes I find it is just expedient to use sqlplus to open the = database.
Sometimes, there is no other way. Rman is still a work in progress and = it
has been seriously improved since the 8.0.5... days but when you are = doing
incomplete recovery and it seems to want a redo log instead of an = archived
log, then I have found, sqlplus recover the way you did it is the = easiest
way. Even Oracle support has told me this.

HTH,
Ruth

This may not be the cleanest solution, but it worked:

rman
run {
set until logseq=3D1235 thread =3D1;

allocate channel ch1 type disk;
allocate channel ch2 type disk;
allocate channel ch3 type disk;

restore database;
}
exit;

sqlplus internal

sqlplus> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
sqlplus> alter database open resetlogs;
sqlplus> exit;

Is there a better way to do this?

thanks,
Peter Schauss

Subject: rman nocatalog - point in time recovery

Enviroment: Oracle 8.1.7.4 / AIX 5.2

Scenario:

I have an rman backup (nocatalog) and a separate control file backup done at 11:00 pm.
The database is in archivelog mode.
At 11:00 am the next morning I have a failure which causes loss of the entire database.
Archivelogs through 10:45 are intact. The last archive log is = sequence 1234.
I have the backup files created from the 11:00 pm rman backup in the directory to which they were backed up.
I want to restore the database to the state it was in at 10:45 am by applying the redo logs through number 1234.

I restore my control files by copying them to the appropriate = directories on
the disk (e.g. /ora1/oradata/sid/control01.ctl ... /ora2/... = /ora3/...).

I run the following commands in rman

run {
set until logseq=3D1234 thread=3D1;

allocate channel ch1 type disk;
allocate channel ch2 type disk;
allocate channel ch3 type disk;

restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
}

Oracle says:

RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: set
RMAN-06003: ORACLE error from target database: RMAN-20206: log sequence =

not
found in the recovery catalog

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
