Here's a stab...
I haven't used the product in production yet, but I did just come back from
training... Did you back up your logs, including your current log in use?
And then, did you restore those logs? When you created your vset for the archive,
did you include the rootdbs in your dbspaceset?
I don't recommend creating things in the rootdbs. While in class I perfored an
archive, created a table in a dbspace outside rootdbs, performed an archive on
this dbspace, and performed a warm restore on that dbspace. I didn't have any
problem getting this table back.
good luck.
