    Unfortunatly I cannot get training so I' trying to teach myself can someone tell me what I'm missing here.

    I've got a database in archiving mode. I've done a cold backup of all the database control parameter logfile and password files. I deleted db and restored from backup to make sure procedure works. paramerters log_archive_start=true,log_archive_dest=d\archivelogs, log_archive_format=arch%S.log are set archiving is enabled.

    Now I execute or commit a bunch or transactions the archive logs do get created 4 of them.

    I shutdown instance, destroy the database,restore cold backups, start up the instance in effect to a point in time before the archive logs.

   The recovery method I try is using svrmgr23

        connect as sysdba,
        startup mount
        set autorecovery on
        issue recover database command

  it responds that database does not need recover and some error codes. (now all parameters are still intack . what am I missing ? how can I get data in archive logs into database

                    any help will be appreciated
