During normal operation Oracle records the highest SCN number written to the data file(s) in the control file and the data file header block. On startup Oracle compares the control file SCN to the data file SCN and responds accordingly.
The control file contains information of SCN numbers written to the archived redo logs. Oracle uses this to determine which archived redo log to start recovery with.
