Checking the Status of Database Files - ILocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

BRRECOVER remounts - that is, closes and again mounts - the database to refresh the views V$DATAFILE and V$RECOVER_FILE. It then checks the availability of the following files:

  • Control files

  • Redo log files

  • Data files

BRRECOVER checks whether there are any data files not online. If so, it recommends to set them online.

Context

You check the database status when using BRRECOVER to perform complete database recovery.

This procedure checks the database for critical errors that might prevent production operation.

Procedure


  1. Check the display and continue with the database recovery.

    Note

    If there are no files that need to be recovered, BRRECOVER stops the recovery automatically.

  2. Check the results in the BRRECOVER detail log, v<encoded timestamp>.<ext>.
