Hello All,

I have a little problem here.
My database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.I took whole DB backup ( cold).
Then just after half an hour I ran following script.

RMAN> RUN { RESTORE DATABASE;RECOVER DATABASE;alter database open;}

Starting restore at 24-FEB-12
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=133 device type=DISK

channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set

Starting recover at 24-FEB-12

starting media recovery

media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01
Finished recover at 24-FEB-12

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 02/24/2012 16:04:08
ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open

RMAN> 



Why do I need to specify an option at the first place?
As my redo is intact, it is not incomplete recovery and, I do not want to generate new incarnation of my database.
Why oracle simply not opening my database?

Thanks in advance.

swaorclser

So use NORESETLOGS.

Agreed!
But, if at all it wants me to give option, I am going to use NORESETLOGS in my case.
But, I am confused as to why Oracle wants us to specify an option in the first place? Why it can not do 'alter database open'?

Thanks & Regards,

Because you base is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, so the option is mandatory.

Hello Michel,

Thanks for your reply.
But, my observation is , we can fire "alter database open"
in Oracle 10 g without specifying any resetlog option in case of NOARCHIVELOG database.

Also, in Oracle 11g R2, we see

media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01
Finished recover at 24-FEB-12


My database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode still it says archived log....
??

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Post an evidence it is in NOARCHIVELOG, do not just tell us SHOW us (see OraFAQ Forum Guide).

Also did you use a backup of the control file to restore or the current one?

Michel

Here is the evidence that shows DB is in NOARCHIVELOG.
I fired,

SQL> select name, log_mode from v$database;

NAME      LOG_MODE
--------- ------------
ORCL      NOARCHIVELOG



I used current to restore.

Are you sure that "=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/PROD/redo02.log" is an archived log and not an online one?

This is indeed an online REDO log.
I understand that completely, my question was why Oracle is calling it an Archived Log, when that is still online redo.
Database being in NOARCHIVELOG, there will be no ARCH processes to archive these redos at all.

Well, it abuses of term "archived", it can apply archived and online redo logs, they are not different for it, most of the time it is archived logs, so they (Oracle developers) do not want to check if it is actually an archived or rather an online log to display the message, so it always displays "archived".
If I'd develop it, I'd only say "log" without any adjective to prevent from this kind of misunderstanding.

Hello Michel,

Thanks for your kind reply and explanation.
So to conclude this thread,if
1) Your database is in NOARCHIVELOG
2) You are doing recovery.

You must specify RESETLOG or NORESETLOG depending on the situation.
For Oracle 11g R2.

Regards,
Swati Pathak.

Yes, if you have to restore and recover in MOUNT mode a mandatory file/tablespace (like SYSTEM).
It is not needed for the other datafile/tablespace you can restore/recover in OPEN mode.

Yes.
I need to do a Database restore and recovery in MOUNT mode.
As, I need to restore and recover whole DB, it will include SYSTEMS
tablespace always.
So, I will need to say NORESETLOGS while opening the DB after recovery, as my redo was intact, am doing complete recovery and I dont want to generate a new DB incarnation.

Thanks a lot!
