Hi One & All,

The database was ubruptly shutdown i dont no why, while we are opening the database it is showing the error in log files so we tried to add a new redolog file for the existing group it is added,and we are not able to switch the database because we are at mount stage,and even we use the command to clear the logfile with "alter database clear unarchived logfile group 4" even it is not clearing the group nor the database is switching because at mount stage, the database is in hang postion. The database will open if we offline & drop that redolog file but we will loose Some data. To overcome from this type of errors what Precautions should we take at this movement could there is any other process for this........

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ramesh,

It looks like one of your db redolog group\member is currupted ,but without dropping the redolog member you can follow the below mentioned steps which would be optimal for this scenario .Instead of using scn ,initating a cancel based recovery can also be used if "alter database clear unarchived
logfile group 4" does't work

SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
