It sounds like your hot backup procedure is not complete set. Do you switch your log files at the end of your hot backup? You basically did not get your last online redo to an archive log file as part of your backup set. Bad news on a Friday...sorry,

Try to find out which is your current logfile:

COLUMN member format a40

SELECT lf.member, l.status
from V$LOGFILE lf, V$LOG l
where lf.group# = l.group#

Make a copy of this log file to the path D:\ORACLE\ORA81\RDBMS\ with the name that Oracle is asking for (ARC05863.001) .

Try the recovery again.

Good Luck.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks,
Ed

Database recovery dilemma. Our database server was reconfigured, we restored from the most recent backup and issued the 'recover database using backup controlfile;' command, stepped through applying the Archive Logs, but at the end of the archive logs I get this message.

SQL> recover database using backup controlfile; ORA-00279: change 55753613 generated at 06/22/2002 18:53:45 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : D:\ORACLE\ORA81\RDBMS\ARC05863.001 ORA-00280: change 55753613 for thread 1 is in sequence #5863

Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL} ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01195: online backup of file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\CSL\ODHC\ODDATA\SYS.ORA'

ORA-01112: media recovery not started

It is telling the truth, if I do a 'alter database open resetlogs' it just responds with that bit about the SYS.ORA file needing more recovery.

There are no more Archive Logs to apply. Any ideas??????

Some things we have tried, without success:

recover database using backup controlfile until time '2002-06-22:17:00:00';
We have restored a older copy of the control file and ran 'recover database' without success.
