Hey Mark

    You refreshed my old time memories back. Oh, boy, do I remember those days of archivelog corruption ? Taking backup every day, dumping every archivelog files to identify corrupt archivelog file etc..BTW, bug is still accessible from metalink: bug id 854484. docid : 854484.

    Good thing about that though, we had to do recovery two weeks after the patch went in to production [ BCV restore of online redo log file by sysadmin when the db was up and running, remember that ?], talk about march madness!

Thanks
Riyaj
