Publishing Latest or Point-in-Time State

After you have published a standalone database or a Data Guard database to an Oracle server (as described in Publishing to Specified Server), you can quickly republish the database to the same server.

You can republish either of the following states:

• The latest available state — to publish data as of the latest state in the backup file.
• A point-in-time state — to publish data as of the selected point-in-time state. This option is available only if backups of Oracle archived logs exist. For more information, see Required Job Settings.

When you unpublish a database, both options remain available until you close the application so that you can quickly republish the database if required.
