I got this error when I first set up my standby database. If you generate a log switch, and then recover again you will not see the problem. If I recall correctly, the issue arises when the redo log that was active when you created your standby control file has not been archived. If you issue a log switch the log will be archived, and your standby database will recover without errors.

Both are 9i on Win2000, the same host. Everything was fine, except the last step: SQL> RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE TIMEOUT 20; ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup ORA-01110: data file 1: 'C:\ORA_9I\ORADATA\SB1\DATAFILE\SYSTEM01.DBF' ORA-16016: archived log for thread 1 sequence# 7 unavailable I backed up the primary database when the archive was not on. I shutdown the db using shutdown immediate, and made a complete, cold back, I changed the primary database to archive log right after backup. Why the backup is not sufficient? Must the db in archivelog mode before making a backup? Thank you! Janet __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
