SET command
Set the value of various attributes that affect RMAN behaviour for the duration of a RUN block or a session.
ECHO - Controls whether RMAN commands are displayed in the message log.
DBID - A unique 32-bit identification number computed when the database is created. RMAN displays the DBID upon connection to the target database. We can obtain the DBID by querying V$DATABASE or RC_DATABASE.
NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE - The default name for all subsequent RESTORE or SWITCH commands that affect the specified datafile.
MAXCORRUPT FOR DATAFILE - A limit on the number of previously undetected physical block corruptions that Oracle will allow in the datafile(s).
AUTOLOCATE - Force RMAN to automatically discover which nodes of an Oracle Real Application Clusters configuration contain the backups that you want to restore.

Steps for media recovery:
1. Mount or open the Oracle database. Mount the database when performing whole database recovery, or open the database when performing online tablespace/datafile recovery.
2. To perform incomplete recovery, use the SET UNTIL command to specify the time, SCN, or log sequence number at which recovery terminates. Alternatively, specify the UNTIL clause on the RESTORE and RECOVER commands.
3. Restore the necessary files with the RESTORE command.
4. Recover the datafiles with the RECOVER command.
5. Place the database in its normal state. For example, open it or bring recovered tablespaces/datafiles online.

SET command
Set the value of various attributes that affect RMAN behaviour for the duration of a RUN block or a session.
ECHO - Controls whether RMAN commands are displayed in the message log.
DBID - A unique 32-bit identification number computed when the database is created. RMAN displays the DBID upon connection to the target database. We can obtain the DBID by querying V$DATABASE or RC_DATABASE.
NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE - The default name for all subsequent RESTORE or SWITCH commands that affect the specified datafile.
MAXCORRUPT FOR DATAFILE - A limit on the number of previously undetected physical block corruptions that Oracle will allow in the datafile(s).
AUTOLOCATE - Force RMAN to automatically discover which nodes of an Oracle Real Application Clusters configuration contain the backups that you want to restore.

RMAN> SQL 'ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 64 OFFLINE';
RMAN> RESTORE DATAFILE 64;
RMAN> RECOVER DATAFILE 64;
RMAN> SQL 'ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 64 ONLINE';
Steps for media recovery:
1. Mount or open the Oracle database. Mount the database when performing whole database recovery, or open the database when performing online tablespace/datafile recovery.
2. To perform incomplete recovery, use the SET UNTIL command to specify the time, SCN, or log sequence number at which recovery terminates. Alternatively, specify the UNTIL clause on the RESTORE and RECOVER commands.
3. Restore the necessary files with the RESTORE command.
4. Recover the datafiles with the RECOVER command.
5. Place the database in its normal state. For example, open it or bring recovered tablespaces/datafiles online.
