Message-Id: <10520.107873@fatcity.com> From: "Weerd de E.C. Kirsten" Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 16:12:08 +0100 Subject: Archivelog * SOLVED* Ok ALL, Problem solved. Thanx for all the help. Trying to give a short sesume : Archive Log Destination dir was empty : Files had been automatically moved (Cron-job or something like that) No new logswitch occured, so no new archived log file. Recovery asked for log newer than the last existing : We were recovering into a secondary test-system. We did not use the controlfiles from the original production-system. Oracle then apparently looks for the last known log file + 1 (Which we didn't have) Solution : USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE So, final statement which did the trick and got the DB running without problems : RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL Thanx all for sharing U'r knowledge. Can't even remember how many times this list helped me out !!!
