Hot or cold, you still have to apply the necessary archivelogs to bring it back to the correct point in time. If it is not in noarchivelog then a point in time recovery is not possible. All you can do is restore it to the time the cold backup was done.

  Thanks so much for replying.

  I also discovered it is a database that was backed up - running in archivelog mode - hot backup and not what I thought - a database running in noarchivelog mode with a cold backup so.....don't I also have to use the recover database command so that it brings forward all archivelogs it needs to make put database into a consistent state as in:

  run {

  execute script alloc_all_tapes;

  restore controlfile to '/data/oradata/CSTAT/ctrl/control01.ctl';

  allocate channel d1 type disk;

  replicate controlfile from '/data/oradata/CSTAT/ctrl/control01.ctl';

  sql 'alter database mount';

  restore database until time

  "to_date('JAN 27 2004 12:00:00','MON DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";

  recover database;

  sql 'alter database open resetlogs';

  execute script rel_all_tapes;

  }

  EOD   ~

    Paula,

    You must set the until time at the beginning of the restore so it will be in place during the entire process.

    HTH,
    Ruth

      -Solaris 2.8
      -Oracle 8.0.6

      Restoring - restore says it is complete but recovery keeps failing or

hanging:

      connect target $TARGET@$DBNAME

      run {

      execute script alloc_all_tapes;

      restore controlfile to '/data/oradata/CSTAT/ctrl/control01.ctl';

      allocate channel d1 type disk;

      replicate controlfile from '/data/oradata/CSTAT/ctrl/control01.ctl';

      sql 'alter database mount';

      restore database until time

      "to_date('JAN 27 2004 12:00:00','MON DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";

      sql 'alter database open resetlogs';

      execute script rel_all_tapes;

      }

      EOD
