Hai,

While recovering you need to put your database in Mount state, while restoring you are just restoring your log files, etc to the filesystem level and during this you can have your database up.

As far as i can remember your database should be mounted.

Hii

hey try running this command:

brrestore -b <log name> -m full

<log name>: Enter the name of the detail log file b<encoded timestamp>.<ext> from a BRBACKUP backup. The requested objects will then be restored from that database backup

It must be something like this 'bcnmhluz.aft '

Refer to the follwoing link for more info
