If undo damage is unfortunately encountered in Oracle running, the best way is to recover it completely. However, if there is no backup, you can use an unconventional method (using Oracle's hidden parameters ),If undo contains uncommitted transactions at this time, it will cause a little data loss (generally tolerable). If there is no uncommitted transaction, there will be no data loss.The main steps are as follows:
1. Change the undo tablespace management to manual;
2. Set the hidden parameter (_ offline_rollback_segments or _ initupted_rollback_segments) to identify the affected rollback segments, so that Oracle ignores uncommitted transactions on them;
3. manually delete the affected rollback segments and undo tablespace, and recreate the undo tablespace;
4. Restore the undo tablespace management to automatic.
The experiment is as follows:
Step 1.
If the undo data file is corrupted, the database can only be in the mount state. The following error occurs when the database is open:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 14-see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 14: 'I: \ INTEL_DATA \ O06DMS0 \ undo1.o06dms0'
It indicates that the undo file is damaged or lost. After offline the file, you can open the database:
SQL> alter database datafile 'I: \ INTEL_DATA \ O06DMS0 \ UNDO1.O06DMS0' offline drop;
SQL> alter database open;
The purpose of opening a database is to find the affected rollback segments:
SQL> select segment_name, status from dba_rollback_segs;

SQL> show parameter undo
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------------------------------
Undo_management string AUTO
Undo_retention integer 900
Undo_tablespace string undo1
Close the database:
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Step 2.
Create a temporary pfile:
SQL> create pfile = 'H: \ initO06DMS0. ora 'from spfile;
Modify pfile as follows:
*. Undo_management = 'manual' -- change the undo tablespace management mode to manual.
*. Undo_tablespace = 'undo2' -- specify a new undo tablespace.
*. _ Offline_rollback_segments = ('_ SYSSMU10_1201331463 $', '_ blank $', '_ syssmu6_1_1_8906 $', '_ blank $ ', '_ affected $', '_ SYSSMU3_1987193959 $', '_ SYSSMU2_3908286755 $', '_ SYSSMU1_3281912951 $') -- list all affected rollback segments here
And restart the database with the pfile:
SQL> startup pfile = 'H: \ initO06DMS0. ora'
Step 3.
Manually delete affected rollback segments:
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU10_1201331463 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU9_2926456744 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU8_640224757 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU7_3984293596 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ syssmu6_000000008906 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU5_3475919656 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU4_168502732 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU3_1987193959 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU2_3908286755 $ ";
SQL> drop rollback segment "_ SYSSMU1_3281912951 $ ";
Manually delete the old undo tablespace:
SQL> drop tablespace undo1 including contents;
Recreate the undo tablespace:
SQL> create undo tablespace undo2 datafile 'I: \ INTEL_DATA \ O06DMS0 \ UNDO2.O06DMS0' size 100 m;
Create a new spfile to overwrite the old spfile:
SQL> create spfile from pfile = 'H: \ initO06DMS0. ora ';
Close the database:
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Step 4.
Start the database with the original spfile:
SQL> startup;
Restore undo tablespace management to automatic:
SQL> alter system set undo_management = 'auto' scope = spfile;
Unhide parameter settings:
SQL> alter system reset "_ offline_rollback_segments" scope = spfile;
Restart to make it take effect:
SQL> shutdown immediate;
SQL> startup
SQL> show parameter undo
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------------------------------------
Undo_management string AUTO
Undo_retention integer 900
Undo_tablespace string undo2
Finally, check:
SQL> select segment_name, status from dba_rollback_segs;
