What can I do with this system value?

Specifies whether to wait for database recovery before completing the restart (1) or not (0). This system value indicates when recovery of database files is performed during an unattended restart. The database recovery after an abnormal end of a system can take a while to complete. If you do not want to wait for it to complete before the system becomes available, do not select this option. This is equivalent to 0 in the character-based interface.

Recovery of database files may include rebuilding the access path at the end of the restart operation. If this option was selected when the database files were created, database recovery may take a while.
