-n|-number 

This BRRESTORE command option enables you to restore a file directly from a tape volume without having to specify the name of the backup log or the log sequence number.

Input syntax:
-n|-number <file_pos>|init_ora|spfile|init_sap|space_log|
det_log|sum_log|init_all|all_log|control_file[=<rest_dest>]

Default: None.

·        <file_pos>: Specify the position of the file on the tape.

·        init_ora|spfile: The profiles init<DBSID>.ora and spfile are restored. These files are in position 2.

·        init_sap: The initialization profile init<DBSID>.sap is restored. This file is in position 3.

·        space_log: The main log space<DBSID>.log, the structure log struc<DBSID>.log, and the parameter change log param<DBSID>.log are restored. These files are in the third-to-last position.

·        det_log: The detail BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE log is restored. This file is in the second-to-last position.

·        sum_log: The summary BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE log is restored. This file is in the last position.

·        init_all: Restores init<DBSID>.ora, spfile, and init<DBSID>.sap in one run.
