Procedure documentation Importing Log Backups up to a Specific Time Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

You can start the standby instance in a state from the past. You may need to do this if, for example, you lose data during an operation in the original instance, and want to restore a state.

Prerequisites

·        You have set up a standby instance.

·        The standby instance has not been in the Structure linkoperational state ONLINE since it was last initialized.

·        You have imported the Structure linklog backups from the original instance only up to a point in time before your chosen restore time.

Procedure

If the log backups are imported automatically from the original instance into the standby instance, then cancel the imports (recover_cancel), and import manually any log backups that are missing, up until your chosen time. Proceed as follows:

·        When you import the relevant log backup in the Structure linkDatabase Manager GUI, choose the option Restore until a specific time (see also Structure linkRestoring Without a Backup History).

·        When you import the relevant log backup in the Structure linkDatabase Manager CLI, use the command recover_start with the option UNTIL <date> <time> (see also Structure linkCommands for Restoring).

Result

The log entries are imported into the standby instance up to the chosen time. Any changes you have made after this time in the original instance are ignored by the standby instance.

You can now start operating the standby instance as an active instance.
