HELPLIB.HLB  —  RMU72  Set  Corrupt Pages, Description
    The RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command allows you to override the
    required RMU Recover command after a by-area restore operation.
    Although Oracle RMU cannot determine when the recover operation
    is superfluous, you might have that knowledge. If you are certain
    of this knowledge, you can abridge the requirement for the
    recover operation by using the RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command
    to set corrupt pages to consistent.

    Similarly, sometimes you might know of a problem that Oracle
    RMU does not recognize. For example, you might find that a page
    contains an index node that causes a bugcheck dump each time it
    is accessed. You can use the RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command to
    mark this page as corrupt and then follow your usual procedure
    for recovering from database corruption.

    Note that the RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command with the Consistent
    qualifier does not make truly corrupt storage area pages usable.
    Corrupt storage area pages detected during normal operation are
    logged in the CPT, and likely have an invalid checksum value.
    The RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command with the Consistent qualifier
    removes the specified pages from the CPT, but the next time a
    user tries to touch that storage area page, it is logged in the
    CPT again because it is still physically corrupt. To correct a
    storage area page that is truly corrupt, you must restore it from
    a backup file.

    The RMU Set Corrupt_Pages command with the Consistent qualifier
    does make truly corrupt or inconsistent pages in a snapshot file
    usable. When you use this command and specify a snapshot file
    with the areas qualifier, Oracle RMU initializes the specified
    snapshot file.
