In-depth analysis of RMAN-Incarnation application (Incomplete recovery)

CASE Environment:

Operating System: RedHat EL5

Oracle: Oracle 11gR2

When you use resetlogs to open the database during incomplete restoration of Media Recover, Incarnation (Database-to-event) indicates the specific logical lifetime of the database. As a DBA, you may need to use the backup generated before the last execution of the resetlogs command to restore the database, or it may need to be restored to the time point before the previous resetlogs command is executed.
