ORA-01143: cannot disable media recovery - file 1 needs media recovery



I got a request from the client - To flashback the database to the existing restore point & disable flashback and archive log mode for database UATB.

Here I came a cross error - ORA-01143.

I followed the below steps.

1. SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
------------
UATB

2. SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$RESTORE_POINT WHERE GUARANTEE_FLASHBACK_DATABASE='YES' ORDER BY TIME;

NAME
---------
UATB_COPY

Here I'm going to restore the database to the above restore point.

NOTE: The flashback database restore has to be done in MOUNT stage of the database.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
UATB

SQL> shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup mount

ORACLE instance started.

SQL> FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT UATB_COPY;

Flashback complete.

SQL> alter database flashback off;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database noarchivelog;
alter database noarchivelog
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38781: cannot disable media recovery - have guaranteed restore points

NOTE: We have guaranteed flashback restore point. Hence we have received the above error. Lets drop the existing restore point and try the same.


SQL> drop restore point UATB_COPY;

Restore point dropped.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;
ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01143: cannot disable media recovery - file 1 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\RISHI\SYSTEM01.DBF'

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;

Database altered.

After database restored from flashback restore point. It has to be opened with resetlogs clause otherwise it will through an error.

NOTE: Here I have open the database and bounced the database again to disable the archive log mode.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
UATB

SQL> SHUT IMMEDIATE

Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> STARTUP MOUNT
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Database altered.

Here we are done :)

Thank You !

    Solution worked perfectly, but do you have to bounce the database after the 'resetlogs'? Why?

How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance - IMPDP

  How to Improve Oracle Data Pump Performance:- Use Parallelism : Set the PARALLEL parameter to at least 2 * number of CPUs . This allows multiple worker processes to perform tasks simultaneously, speeding up both export and import processes. Example: PARALLEL=4 for a system with 2 CPUs. Perform Import Using NETWORK_LINK : Use the NETWORK_LINK parameter to import data directly from the source database. This method is particularly helpful when space is constrained, as it streams the data without needing to generate dump files on the source. It can also reduce time compared to exporting and then importing, as data is streamed directly from the source to the target database. Disable Archivelog Mode (Standalone Databases) : For standalone databases, temporarily disable archive logging during the import process. Import operations can generate a lot of redo logs, slowing down the import. Disabling...
