Example of Archive Log Files Restore

To restore the archive log files, follow the steps below:

1.Select the Restore archive files option.

Archive log files are restored using the SAP BRRESTORE utility. If SAPDBA determines that the archiving directory <Oracle_home>/saparch (UNIX systems) or <Oracle_home>\saparch (Windows systems) does not have enough space to restore all the necessary redo log files, the redo log files that have already been used will be deleted and the next required redo logs are restored during the subsequent recovery.

2.Select the Start restore of archive files option.

This option is mandatory when the recovery requires offline redo log files that are no longer in the archiving directory. The recovery cannot be started until the necessary archived redo logs are restored.

SAPDBA displays the following information on the screen:

•The log sequence number of the first archived file to be restored.

•The archived files that were found.

•The maximum size of the archived redo log files.

•The configured restore parameters which you can change using the Specify restore parameters option.
