Apply Transaction Logs to an Oracle Database on a recovered QR Volume without Archive Log Backups

Before You Begin

Before starting restore operations, review these prerequisites and operational procedures.

• Review the information in Using Transaction/Archive Logs with Recovered QR Volumes.
• You have installed the Oracle iDataAgent and QR Agent on the same client.
• You have performed any one of the following tasks for the Oracle instance:
  • Full QR Volume Creation only
  • QR Incremental Updates using a schedule
  • Full QR Volume Creation with logs backup
  • QR Incremental Updates as well as logs backup

Required Capability: See Capabilities and Permitted Actions

To recover a database from a QR Volume without archive log backups.

1. From the CommCell Console, right-click the instance of Oracle iDataAgent, click All Tasks and then click Browse Backup Data.
2. Select your browse options and click OK to continue. See Browsing Data for a list of customized browse operations and their step-by-step instructions. If you accept all defaults, you will be browsing the latest backups for the selected data.
3. From the Browse window, expand the Snapshot of your Oracle instance, select the entire instance and then click Recover All Selected.
4. From the Specify Database State dialog box, select NO. The databases will be restored in the OPEN state.
5. The recovery job will begin and you can track the status of the job in the Job Controller window. After the job completes, the Oracle database will be recovered to the last successful QR Volume update, and the state of the Oracle database will change from MOUNTED to OPEN. Archive logs cannot be applied after this point.
