Hi Team,

I am running a PIT clone from A to B. Here even though the PIT given was

set until time "to_date('24.01.2015-01:35:29','dd.mm.yyyy-hh24:mi:ss')";


RMAN is restoring Archive logs from tape as old as 20th Jan

channel c4: piece handle=3lpt8321_1_1 tag=ARCHIVELOG-20.01.15-23:30:19


I even restarted the clone after doing a catalog resync. Please let me know where should I start digging

Thank You
Sahadevan

What is the timestamp on the control file(s) you are using?

You should provide the requested file.

I am providing those files. Want to know why does RMAN require those files in the first place?

RMAN realises that it needs the requested file(s) to ensure your database is consistent. RMAN knows better than you Smile

We only know what you post (assuming what you post is actually true).
We have no idea what specifically you did prior to your post with regards to either the backup or restore operation.
I believe that Oracle to smart enough to only ask for REDO files that it KNOWS are needed to produce a consistent database.
Successful results do not depend upon you knowing why.
Just out of curiosity, when was the most recent successful FULL backup of this database?

The last successful backup was on 23rd, below is the log with start time , end time

Quote:
23.01.15-23:30:03 24.01.15-01:33:29 LVV ONFU OK 159919-159926 ONFU-23.01.15-23:30:03


Now, the PIT we gave was 2 mins after the backup completion.

I know RMAN knows better, I just want to understand why. Smile

Do you have any read-only tablespaces and have you set backup optimization on? This could cause any one backup to be incomplete.
