Using Enterprise Manager to Perform Oracle TSPITR


You can also use Enterprise Manager to perform TSPITR. Navigate to Availability > Perform Recovery. In the User Directed Recovery section, select Tablespaces from the Recovery Scope drop-down menu.

There are three operations you can perform, for tablespaces:
        Recover to current time or a previous point in time: Restores the data files for the tablespace, if needed. This operation then uses redo to recover to the time you specify: either the current time or a time in the past. This is the combination of the following two operations.
        Restore tablespaces: Only restore the data files for the tablespace. No recovery is performed.
        Recover from previously restored tablespaces: Perform recovery (redo application) only, of the tablespace’s data files.

RMAN TSPITR Processing
RMAN performs the following steps:
1.   Creates the auxiliary instance, starts it, and connects to it
2.   Takes the tablespaces that will be recovered offline
3.   Restores a backup control file from a point in time before the target time to the auxiliary instance
4.   Restores the data files from the recovery set and the auxiliary set to the auxiliary instance
5.   Recovers the restored data files to the specified time
6.   Opens the auxiliary database with the RESETLOGS option
