Recovering/Opening database for which archive log is missing

Some times you don't have the missing archivelogs and database cannot be opened due to it.

After incomplete recover we tried to open database with resetlogs but it failed, one hidden parameter (_ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE) can be used to open database even though it’s not properly recovered.

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
