Oracle Database migration to a remote Data Protector cell--Best practices

16
RMAN> run {
set until sequence = 98 thread 1;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
}
Once the recovery is finished, the Database will be opened and ready to be used.
II. Restore without Control File autobackup and using Recovery
Catalog
In this case, when the backup was taken, the Control File autobackup was disabled but the Recovery
Catalog was used. While it is very similar to the previous session, no restore from autobackup is possible.
However, as the recovery catalog is available, RMAN has the information about the backupset and
Data Protector media where the last SPFILE and Control File backups are stored.
Remember, if Control File autobackup is OFF, the SPFILE and Control File will backed up every time
the system tablespace is part of the backup.
