Thank you!! You saved me with this. I had been working with oracle for 5 hours trying to get the application to start. I followed your steps and resolved the problem.

Thank You for the trick. I was pulling my hair to resolve this while doing hot backup and restore test. I found this technique of applying redo logs and resolved the issue finally.
Thanks again.

thanks for the great article. my question, can we activate standby database without applying the last log?

SVRMGR> recover standby database;
ORA-00279: change 296695408 generated at 03/28/2008 22:39:20 needed for thread 1

ORA-00280: change 296695408 for thread 1 is in sequence #73920

ORA-00308: cannot open archived log ‘/export/oradata/MIBS/archive/archlog73920.ARC’
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
SVR4 Error: 2: No such file or directory

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-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
ORA-01110: data file 1: ‘/export/oradata/MIBS/datafile/system01′

I need to activate my standby db and should not apply the last log because the last log will truncate all tables in it. pls help, since it is urgently to recover the db.
thanks.
