Hello All,
I have question with regards to EMC timefinder consistent split and Oracle.
I have 2 device groups
Data which has datafile, controlfle and online redo log AND
Flashback which has flashback and archive.
Now I establish and sync up primary and BCV devices, then just before doing a split, I switch the logfile and do an timefinder consistent split only data device group.
My flashback device group is still syncing up and accumulating new flashback and archive logs on the BCV side.
Now assume that we have 4 new archive logs that has been generated after the split of data DG.
Now I do an timefinder consistent split for the flashback DG.
Data and redo device groups are of point in time T1 while
Archive log and flashback logs are of point of time T2.
I mount the BCV volumes and do a startup. At time point oracle will do a crash recovery and bring up the database as of point T1. – That is clear.
My aim is to also apply the archive logs generated between T1 and T2.
Now assume that instead of doing a startup, I do a startup mount and catalog the new archive logs in the control file and then I do a recover database. My question is will the new archive logs be applied by the recover process and can I bring up the database as of time T2 and open it up with resetlogs.
Is this possbile..
Appriciate your help in this regard...
Thanks,
Sat
