Recovery Server Online Error Handling
Online undo processing occurs when the recovery process (RCP) is performing pass-abort of transaction (after a rollback failure by a DBMS Server).
Pass abort processing occurs when the DBMS Server encounters an error during rollback. The Recovery Server then attempts to roll back the transaction. The following parameter can be set to handle errors during this process:
online_error_action
Specifies the action the Recovery Server takes if an error occurs during pass abort processing.
Valid values are:
CONTINUE_IGNORE_DB
(Default) Marks the database inconsistent, does not shut down the installation. A database rollforward is required to make the database consistent.
STOP
Shuts down the installation instead of marking a database inconsistent. Use this value to avoid database rollforward.
Error messages in the error log and the RCP log file may help to diagnose the recovery problems. If the problem is related to a resource or environment, you should fix the problem before restarting the installation.
Recovery errors can be handled better during Recovery Server startup because offline recovery (see page Recovery Server Offline Error Handling) supports offline_error_action=continue_ignore_table.
