Re: RMAN DB recover re-applying archive log *URGENT*

Hi Russell,

What version?

Why did you restore the catalog? With the current version of the catalog, RMAN 9i would have known it couldn't use the latest backup of your db and it would have restored & recovered it by itself. The same thing with the current version of the control file. Can you restore the latest version of the catalog and/or the latest version of the control file?
