Hi,
I am practising Disaster recovery scenarios in the DR box from the RMAN backups taken from LIVE.
I now can recover the DRBox until the latest RMAN backup time.
(4 AM everyday)

so I have the backupset until 4AM today and I am doing the recovery at 3PM today.
Now, my final steps for RMAN recovery and the output are below:
RMAN> recover database;

Here, the archivelog requested is not backed up by RMAN yet, i.e they have not yet gone to the backup sets, they will go only tomorrow at 4AM.Please see below:

Anyhow I have the backup of those archivelogs(from 4AM until 3PM) in a different folder named ARCHIVELOGS(sequence 2010 ) in a format known to RMAN.

Can someone please tell what commands I should use to get the database uptodate until 3PM(or upto a time until whatever is the latest archivelogs available in RMAN)

Hi it didnt made a difference..
1)RMAN is not aware of the latest archive logs created during the day by the primary database after 4AM, so how to make RMAN aware of it..?Can I get all the commands for that, also for restoring and recovering only these new archivelogs generated during the day?

2)Does the whole cataloging,restoring and recovery need to be performed just for the archivelogs again, as the required archivelogs are not showing in the present backupset.

I didn't get this..

RMAN is not only aware of the backed up archivelogs.It is also aware about the archivelogs generated from 4AM to 3PM.
It seems one of your archivelog is missing in between 4am and 3pm.
You need to do incomplete recovery.

hi,
no, all the archivelogs are available but not backed up by RMAN..I suppose they need to be backed up again after normal daily backup,if the restore is through RMAN?
can I get the steps/commands for restore and recovery of these new archivelogs which are now outside of RMAN flash recovery area?(After I do a normal restore until 4AM using RMAN and getting the error:RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 2010 and starting SCN of 27359579548
)

also, if RMAN is aware of the archive logs from 4am to 3pm, why does it say that the archived log is unknown?

Have you remembered to catalog all the archivelogs created since the controlfile was backed up? Or to catalog a backup set that contains them?

Because that archive log is missing.
During recovery RMAN would apply all the archivelogs from backups,archivelogs current and redo log files.
I corrupted my tablespace:
create table t ( n number) tablespace users;
create table t ( n number) tablespace users

As all the archivelogs were available,RMAN did not complain.
