Use

You can activate the standby instance at a certain point in time that corresponds to the status of the original instance at a certain time in the past. This is necessary, for example, if data was lost as a result of an operation in the original instance and you want to restore the previous status.

Prerequisites

·        You have set up a standby instance.

·        The standby instance has not been in ONLINE operational state.

·        You have imported the log backups from the original instance only up to a certain point in time, which took place before the time you require.

Procedure

...

       1.      If you have the log backups from the original instance imported automatically into the standby instance, then cancel this operation now (recover_cancel).

       2.      Import the log backups that are still missing up to the required point in time.

¡        Database Manager GUI: proceed as described in Restoring Without a Backup History and choose the Restore up to a Certain Time option.

¡        Database Manager CLI: use the recover_start command with the UNTIL <date> <time> option (see Restoring the Database Instance).

Result

You can now operate the standby instance as the active instance.
