needs more recovery to be consistent

I get this error when i give
SVRMGRL>recover database

ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done

Main problem is given by the shutdown abort that has left the database in an inconsistent state that cannot by solved by automatic instance recovery performed by Oracle at startup.
This situation is similar to what sometimes happens with hot backup recovery.
Please note that the following advice makes the database unsupportable by Oracle. So... it's your own risk!! Do not do it in Production databases.

You can :
- set the undocumented parameter "_allow_resetlogs_corruption" to TRUE ,
- startup,
- apply all available redo logs,
- do a resetlogs startup,
- shutdown
- change the parameter back to FALSE
- startup
- take a full export of the database
- rebuild the database


... and next time try to shutdown immediate!

ok

put _allow_resetlogs_corruption=true in your init.ora file and then open the database with resetlogs option.

but i would still recommend you restore all your files from any recent cold backup

HTH

i get the same error message even after i enabled the init.ora file option "_allow_resetlogs_corruption=true"

SVRMGR> alter database open resetlogs;
alter database open resetlogs
*
ORA-01248: file 7 was created in the future of incomplete recovery
ORA-01110: data file 7: 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\DB\DATA01.DBF'

any other option for recovering.

Did you do a shutdown ??

Shutdown,make changes in the init.ora file then startup mount, open database resetlogs.

... I raise my hands

yes.. i did shutdown immediate.. make the parameter in init.ora FALSE. and restarted the DB but with no success.

any other way of doing this.

_allow_resetlogs_corruption=true

not false

i made it true. shutdown immediate and restarted the db and got the same error.

ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open

ok do the following

1. recreate the controlfiles with resetlogs option.
2. let the value _allow_resetlogs_corruption be there.
3. open database with resetlogs option.

on how to recreate controlfiles refer to
