How to recover Database by SCN number (incomplete recovery) -RMAN

• Log sequence recovery

1. Mount the database.
2. Restore all data files.
3. Recover the database by using UNTIL SCN
4. Open the database by using RESETLOGS.

Know last SCN no.
SQL> select first_change#,status,group# from v$log;

FIRST_CHANGE# STATUS GROUP#
------------- ---------------- ----------
8793770 CURRENT 1
8785734 ACTIVE 2
8793669 ACTIVE 3

The FIRST_CHANGE# is the first SCN stamped in the missing log. This implies that the last
SCN stamped in the previous log is 8793769 (FIRST_CHANGE#-1). This is the highest SCN
that we can recover to. In order to do the recovery we must first restore ALL datafiles to this
SCN, followed by recovery (also up to this SCN).

RMAN> shutdown immediate;

using target database control file instead of re
database closed
database dismounted
Oracle instance shut down

RMAN> startup mount;

connected to target database (not started)
Oracle instance started
database mounted

I am glad to read this beneficial post.
The failure of data almost always leads a person to a sense of disappointment.
So as to solve this concern, the gurus have launched a lot of personal information recovery alternatives.
Consumer should be well aware of possible info retrieval resources with the intention that he'll handle the data damage situation in just a correct way.Data Recovery Kansas City
