I haven't any information about the parameter and its use, but here's the name and description of the one that looks the most obvious: _corrupt_blocks_on_stuck_recovery number of times to corrupt a block when media recovery stuck There's a script on the website or FAQ below for listing the hidden parameters.

It manifests as a "Stuck Recovery" situation and according to Oracle support, the only workaround is to allow Oracle to corrupt a block on recovery. In my case, an LOB segment is causing this. When the archived logs are being applied to Standby DB and changes on an LOB segment are present in the log, the recovery session halts with Ora600. Here's an excerpt of the bug's text from Metalink: "For Oracle 8 and Oracle 8i, there is also a hidden init.ora parameter that one can set to tell Oracle to corrupt the block and continue. Contact Oracle Support if you need to use this method. " If anyone can tell me this parameter, then I'll be very glad to be relieved from the burden of waiting for Oracle support response.
