RMAN-06555: datafile 1 must be restored from backup created before 01-MAY-10


The  above error got during database recover stage. Because of this i tried with different point in time


RMAN> shutdown immediate


database dismounted
Oracle instance shut down




RMAN>  run
2> {
3> startup mount
4> allocate channel c1 type disk;
5> allocate channel c2 type disk;
6> set until time="TO_DATE('2010-05-01 14:40:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')";
7> restore database;
8> recover database;
9> }


database is already started

RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread 1 with sequence 73 and starting SCN of 1178194

Even still i got different error message. The sequence 73 archive log file not in my archive log destination but still it's asking archive log file. 

I guess there is no way for medio recovery with this archive log. I just try to open the database with resetlog it's working fine. :)..

Share me with your feedback/suggestions. Thanks
