Hi Paul,

Thanks for the quick response.

I am newbie to Oracle administarion. I manage the test databases in which it is not manadatory to maintain the cold backup. I am currently giving OCA and have more interest in Oracle db administartion which leads me to post a blog in this site. As of now, I am not very clear about the recovery concepts.

The file /oravl01/oracle/flash_recovery_area/LUXGSM/archivelog/2012_02_16/o1_mf_1_115_* is not really exist. Also my db is in no-archive log mode.

Why are you cancelling the recovery?
>> In one of the blogs, I found that suggestions provided by chao_ping worked for me in some other database with out the parameter _allow_resetlogs_corruption. I was able to recover my consistent database with the loss of online redo files of some other db. The online redo logs got created when I tried the above recovery command which got mentioed in blog by chao_ping.
