Exporting the Tablespaces Not Being Recovered

You export tablespaces that do not need to be recovered when using BRRECOVER to perform Tablespace Point-In-Time Recovery. During the database status check, BRRECOVER identified which tablespaces it needs to export because they are not involved in the recovery.

Prerequisites

BRRECOVER uses the Oracle EXP tool to export the tablespaces that are not involved in the recovery.

Note

In fact, BRRECOVER calls EXP or EXPDP (Data Pump) to export only the metadata of these tablespaces. The tablespace data remains in the data files but is invisible to the database during the recovery. This means that the recovery does not affect these tablespaces.

End of the note.
Before exporting these tablespaces, BRRECOVER sets them to status READ ONLY.
BRRECOVER writes the results to the BRRECOVER detail log file. See Example below for the contents of the log file.

Procedure

Check the display and continue with the database recovery.
Check the results in the BRRECOVER detail log, v<encoded timestamp>.tpt.

For more information on how to view the logs, see Showing Logs with BR*Tools.

Example

This example shows the contents of the BRRECOVER detail log file for this procedure.
