ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
Hi,
I've an Oracle 12.2.0.1 EE on a Linux server and when I try to restore/recover (PITR) the database I get the following errors:
ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oracle/data/INST/system01.dbf'
The archivelog files it needs are more than a month old and as per retention policy of our backup system (CommVault ) the archivelog files are no longer available. So I did restore/recover our monthly backup but that is from the 1st of the previous month. Restore a more recent backup is not possible: get the above errors again.
