autorecover 
You start the automatic recovery of the database instance.
The system uses the backup history to determine which backups to use for the recovery. If the backups are files or were created with third-party backup tools, the system also checks whether the corresponding backups can be accessed.
Prerequisites
You have the server authorization Recovery.
You have opened a database session (see: db_connect).
