Recovering the IDB

The Most

When the complete IDB is missing or the core part is corrupted, the

Convenient

corruption level is critical. If the IDB recovery file and the original device

Complete

used for the IDB backup are available, you can perform the Guided

Recovery

Autorecovery (IDB Restore and Replay Logs). Refer to “Performing

 

Guided Autorecovery” on page 421. Otherwise, follow one of the methods

 

given under “More Recovery Methods” on page 418.

 

The guided autorecovery method guides you through restoring the IDB

 

and replaying transaction logs. If transaction logs are not available, you

 

can still update the IDB by importing all media since the last IDB

 

backup.

Omitting

If the identified level of corruption is major or minor (corruption is not in

(Removing)

the core part), you can consider omitting (removing) the missing or

Corrupted IDB

corrupted parts of the IDB or perform the complete IDB recovery

Parts

instead.

 

When the filename tablespace is corrupted, the corruption level is major.

 

Refer to “Handling Major Database Corruption in the Filenames Part” on

 

page 423.

 

When the DC binary files are missing or corrupted, the corruption level

 

is minor. Refer to “Handling Minor Database Corruption in the DCBF

 

Part” on page 422.

More Recovery These recovery procedures are adapted to specific situations. They

Methods assume that you want to recover the complete IDB, but for some reason you cannot perform the guided autorecovery method. The recovery consists of restoring the IDB and updating the IDB.
