Hello Tim,
I am using next script to restore database with incomplete recovery:
===================================================================
#!/bin/sh
#
# Restore specified database to point in time
# Recover database to specified time (incomplete recovery)
#
# Input paramaters:
# 1 - database SID;
# 2 - time stamp in format YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS;
# 3 - control file copy.
#
export ORACLE_SID=$1
export ORACLE_HOME=`grep "$1:" /etc/oratab | head -n1 | cut -f2 -d":"`
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
#
rman <<EOF
#
# Connect to Recovery Catalog database
connect catalog $RC_USER/$rc_passw...@$rc_service;
#
# Connect to target database
connect target;
#
# Restore control file and database
run {
#
# Startup database instance
startup nomount;
#
# Allocate channel for restore and recovery
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/home/oracle/admin/tdpo/$1.opt)';
#
# Set date and time format
sql 'alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS"';
#
# Set recovery time
set until time '$2';
#
# Restore control file
restore controlfile to '$3';
#
# Replicate control file
replicate controlfile from '$3';
#
# Mount database
alter database mount;
#
# Restore database
restore database;
#
# Incomplete media recovery for database
recover database;
#
# Open database and reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
#
# Release channel
release channel t1;
}
exit;
EOF
exit 0
===================================================================
This script is working fine.
In addition, you can use "recover database using backup controlfile;".
Sometimes it helps to resolve problems with archived redo logs. I hope you have
backups for archived redo logs?

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM restore of Oracle via TDP and RMAN
I was wondering if anyone has any insight to my issue.
I'm doing a restore/recover for a windows 2003 server (oracle db 10g).
We do incremental backups with a full backup every Friday.
This is the script i've tried for the restore (among the other tries):
run
{
#if not already done, do a shutdown. I was doing shutdown at the RMAN
prompt.
#shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
#--restore the controlfile
restore controlfile from autobackup;
##mount the database using the restored control file.
alter database mount;
allocate channel t1 type 'sbt_tape' parms 'ENV=(tdpo_optfile=C:\Program
Files\Tivoli\TSM\AgentOBA\tdpo.opt)';
##SCN=system change number (it's like a counter)
##when using the 'until' command, it should restore 'up to but not
including'
##restore database;
##restore database until scn 9699232120;
##restore database until sequence=277 thread=1 force;
restore database until sequence=291 thread=1 force;
##do a list backup of archivelog from time = 'sysdate-7'; to find sequence
#.
##-do a list recoverable backup of database; to get the most recent scn #.
##recover database until sequence=291;
##recover database until scn 9699232120;
##recover database until sequence=277 thread=1;
recover database until sequence=291 thread=1;
alter database open resetlogs;
release channel t1;
}
The restore seems to work fine, but no matter how I do the restore, I always
get this error on the recover:
channel t1: reading from backup piece df_688689807_164_1
channel t1: restored backup piece 1
piece handle=df_688689807_164_1 tag=TAG20090604T224327
channel t1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:02:25
starting media recovery
unable to find archive log
archive log thread=1 sequence=1
released channel: t1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of recover command at 06/16/2009 15:23:38
RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1 seq 1 lowscn 9698800
261
Recovery Manager complete.
I have to manually open the database and it does open and all the .dbf, .log,
and .ctl files are restored and we can log onto the database fine and use it,
but I always get this error about unable to find archive log. Any thoughts or
suggestions??
thanks.
