Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Recovery from online backups/archived logs on another system
Do you use CREATE CONTROLFILE to create the copy database? You need to
bring over the online log files as well as the data files and issue ALTER
DATABASE RECOVER LOGFILE '/u22/oradata/SID/log1a.dbf', ETC. after the
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER AUTOMATIC USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE; You should
issue the RECOVER LOGFILE statements for those online redo logs that had
activity during your hot backups. You can get this information by
checking v$log for the current logfile before and after the hot backup.
Then open the database RESETLOGS
Hope this helps

RE: Recovery from online backups/archived logs on another system
I inaccurately used the term 'standby' not in its Oracle meaning. I intend a one-time population of this database from the primary at this time, not to keep it up to date after that.

It's mount standby database and recover standby database,,,,are you not
bringing the standby up to date in that fashion?

Subject: Recovery from online backups/archived logs on another system
I have an Oracle 8i database that I'm trying to create a standby copy of
for testing / possible future DR use. The database is in ARCHIVELOG
mode.
=20
On the master database, I have placed each tablespace in turn into
backup mode, copied the underlying datafile, then turned off backup
mode. I have taken copies of the control files.
=20
I put these on my standby database and copied all the archived
transaction logs (for a period of before, during, and substantially
after the period of the backups) to that server too.
=20
I am then attempting to do a recovery using:
=20
open mount exclusive
recover database using backup controlfile
=20
The recover process starts OK taking, as I expected, the first log from
the point where backups started and rolling them forward one by one.
However, it is never satisfied. It never says anything along the lines
of 'backup complete' - it wants more and more archived logs, and when
there are none left it still wants more, even though the transaction
logs it's now applying are substantially later than the backups taken.
=20
If I CANCEL out of the recovery and attempt to
=20
alter database open resetlogs
=20
I get=20
=20
ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u03/oracle/oradata/v7/system01.dbf'
=20
Why is it doing this when I have fed it every single transaction log
available? None are missing.
=20
Thanks for any assistance,
=20
