Folks, I am running some time-based database instance recovery tests in the lab on a three-node RAC environment. The following command was issued from one RAC instance while the others were down. I am trying to understand the way the change number (change 7286467501233) is being displayed on the first line of each of the first three threads below. Why is this number common here? After that, this number is distinct in each subsequent archived log file. I would appreciate if someone can explain/clarify it for me.
Thank you Amir
