Recovery without DBRC

If you perform any recovery-related actions when DBRC is not running, such as making database image copies, problems could arise because DBRC would be unaware of changes in status. You must, therefore, specifically inform DBRC of such changes.

DBRC offers several commands for this purpose; see Online DBRC commands.

Because restart might be required, you should, for example, use the Utility Control Facility (UCF) without DBRC being active. But, if you use UCF for any recovery-related work, you must specifically notify DBRC of status changes afterward.
