关于DRA的官方描述：
The simplest way to diagnose and repair database problems is to use the Data Recovery Advisor. This Oracle Database tool provides an infrastructure for diagnosing persistent data failures, presenting repair options to the user, and automatically executing repairs.
下面我们来做一个小实验来实际体会下DRA的便利性：
1.rman登录到目标数据库
[oracle@JY-DB BACKUP]$ rman target /
Recovery Manager: Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production on Wed Aug 5 11:15:12 2015
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
connected to target database: JYZHAO (DBID=2463175424, not open)
RMAN> LIST FAILURE;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
no failures found that match specification
可以看到目前数据库没有找到需要恢复的匹配项。
2.我们这里模拟丢失了一个数据文件
#2.1 正常关库
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
#2.2 删除数据文件+DATA1/jyzhao/datafile/dbs_d_jingyu.259.886871319
#直接删除数据文件会报错
ASMCMD> rm DBS_D_JINGYU.259.886871319
ORA-15032: not all alterations performed
ORA-15028: ASM file '+DATA1/jyzhao/datafile/DBS_D_JINGYU.259.886871319' not dropped; currently being accessed (DBD ERROR: OCIStmtExecute)
#数据库关闭后删除成功
ASMCMD> rm DBS_D_JINGYU.259.886871319
ASMCMD>
#2.3 尝试打开数据库报错
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

3.观察DRA是如何恢复数据库的
## 3.1 LIST FAILURE; ##
RMAN> LIST FAILURE;

Mandatory Manual Actions
========================
no manual actions available
Optional Manual Actions
=======================
1. If file +DATA1/jyzhao/datafile/dbs_d_jingyu.259.886871319 was unintentionally renamed or moved, restore it
2. Try flush redo using ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO 'standby name' command. Then perform a Data Guard role change (failover). Available standbys: jyzhao_s.
Automated Repair Options
========================
Option Repair Description
------ ------------------
1 Restore and recover datafile 15
Strategy: The repair includes complete media recovery with no data loss
Repair script: /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/jyzhao/jyzhao/hm/reco_4099084102.hm
3.3 REPAIR FAILURE;
RMAN> REPAIR FAILURE;
Strategy: The repair includes complete media recovery with no data loss
Repair script: /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/jyzhao/jyzhao/hm/reco_4099084102.hm
contents of repair script:
# restore and recover datafile
restore datafile 15;
recover datafile 15;
sql 'alter database datafile 15 online';
Do you really want to execute the above repair (enter YES or NO)? yes
