Action: Determine if a backup set containing the log can be made available. If so, then use the CHANGE command to make the backup set available and retry the command. If not, then a point in time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative.

RMAN-06054 media recovery requesting unknown log: thread string scn string

Cause: Media recovery is requesting a log whose existence is not recorded in the recovery catalog or control file.

Action: If a copy of the log is available, then add it to the recovery catalog and/or control file via a CATALOG command and then retry the RECOVER command. If not, then a point in time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative.

RMAN-06055 could not find log sequence string thread string

Cause: A log which was on disk at the start of media recovery or which should have been restored from a backup set could not be found.

Action: Check the Recovery Manager message log to see if the log was restored by a previous job step. If so, then check the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to see if the log is listed in the control file. If so, then validate that the log exists on disk and is readable. If the log was not restored, or was restored but no record of the log exists in V$ARCHIVED_LOG, then contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06056 could not access datafile number

Cause: A backup could not proceed because the datafile header could not be read or the header was not valid.

Action: Make the datafile accessible or skip it.

RMAN-06066 the target database must be mounted when issuing a RECOVER command

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database control file is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06067 RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created controlfile

Cause: The control file has been restored from a backup or was created via ALTER DATABASE CREATE CONTROLFILE.

Action: Use the RECOVER DATABASE command to perform the recovery.

RMAN-06068 recovery aborted because of missing datafiles

Cause: This error should be accompanied by one or more instances of message ORA-06094.

Action: Refer to message ORA-06094.

RMAN-06069 controlfile is missing the filename for datafile string

Cause: Media recovery of a backup control file added this datafile to the control file, but it does not set the file name because that is unsafe.

Action: If the datafile is on disk, then issue ALTER DATABASE RENAME to correct the control file. Otherwise, RESTORE the datafile, and then use SWITCH to make it known to the control file. If the tablespace containing this datafile will be dropped, then reissue the RECOVER command with a SKIP clause to skip recovery of this tablespace.

RMAN-06070 DBWR could not identify datafile string

Cause: DBWR could not find the specified datafile.

Action: Check the location of your datafile.

RMAN-06071 could not open datafile string

Cause: An error was encountered when trying to open the specified datafile.

Action: Ensure that the datafile exists and is accessible.

RMAN-06072 I/O error occurred when reading file header for datafile string

Cause: An I/O error occurred.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06073 file header is corrupt for datafile string

Cause: Oracle detected a corruption in the file header. A media failure has probably occurred.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06074 file string is not an ORACLE datafile

Cause: The file header indicates that this file is not a datafile. The file may have been overlaid or corrupted.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06075 datafile string does not belong to this database

Cause: The file header indicates that this file belongs to some other Oracle database.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06076 datafile string contains wrong datafile

Cause: The datafile header indicates the file contains a different datafile number.

Action: RESTORE the datafile, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06077 datafile string is a different version than contained in the controlfile

Cause: The control file entry for this datafile specifies a different version of this datafile. Different versions of a datafile can exist when a tablespace is dropped, and a new tablespace is created which reuses the same datafile numbers.

Action: If the datafile is correct, the fix the control file by using the SWITCH command. Otherwise, RESTORE the correct version of this datafile and retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06078 the controlfile is older than datafile string

Cause: The control file appears to be older than the specified datafile, but it is not marked as a backup control file. This indicates that the control file has been replaced with an older version. This error does not occur when a backup control file which was created via Recovery Manager or the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE command is restored because such control files are marked as backups.

Action: RESTORE a control file and perform RECOVER DATABASE.

RMAN-06079 database must be mounted to perform recovery

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database is not mounted.

Action: Issue ALTER DATABASE MOUNT.

RMAN-06080 SWITCH required for datafile string

Cause: The control file record for this datafile is for an older incarnation of the datafile.

Action: Issue a SWITCH command to update the control file before doing RECOVER.

RMAN-06081 error reading datafile header for datafile string, code string

Cause: X$KCVFH returned the specified code in the HXERR column when it was queried for the specified datafile.

Action: Ensure the datafile exists and is readable. Using a newer release of Recovery Manager may return a more meaningful error message. If you have no newer version of Recovery Manager, contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06082 datafilecopy tag string is ambiguous

Cause: The specified tag refers to multiple datafile copies belonging to different datafiles.

Action: Specify the datafile copy by file name rather than by tag.

RMAN-06083 error when loading stored script string

Cause: The recovery catalog database returned an error. This error explains the cause of the problem.

Action: Correct the problem and retry.

RMAN-06084 the target database may not be mounted when issuing REPLICATE

Cause: A REPLICATE command was issued, but the target database is already mounted.

Action: dismount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE CLOSE and ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06085 must use SET NEWNAME command to restore datafile string

Cause: A RESTORE command for the specified datafile could not find a destination name for the specified datafile.

Action: Add a SET NEWNAME command prior to the RESTORE command to specify the restore destination for this file.

RMAN-06086 offline files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set

Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE option was specified for an archive log backup set.

Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.

RMAN-06087 read-only files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set

Cause: The SKIP READONLY option was specified for an archive log backup set.

Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.

RMAN-06088 datafile copy string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynchronized with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06089 archived log string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynchronized with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06090 error while looking up controlfile copy: string

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified control file copy in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the file name is entered correctly. If the control file copy was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06091 no channel allocated for maintenance

Cause: A command was entered that requires a maintenance channel, and no maintenance channel is allocated.

Action: Use ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE before deleting backup pieces, or using the CROSSCHECK or DELETE EXPIRED commands.

RMAN-06092 error while looking up backup piece

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup piece in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the backup piece was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06093 recovery catalog contains obsolete version of datafile string

Cause: The specified datafile number was dropped and then reused. The control file mounted by the target database contains the newer version of the datafile, but the recovery catalog contains information about only the older version.

Action: Issue a RESYNC command to update the recovery catalog, then reissue the failing command. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06094 datafile string must be restored

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, and the recovery catalog indicates the specified datafile should be part of the recovery, but this datafile is not listed in the control file, and cannot be found on disk.

Action: Issue a RESTORE command for this datafile, using the same UNTIL clause specified to the RECOVER command (if any), then reissue the RECOVER.

RMAN-06095 a backup controlfile must be restored to recover datafile string

Cause: The control file currently mounted by the target database contains a newer incarnation of the datafile than the recovery catalog indicates is appropriate for the point-in-time being recovered to.

Action: Restore the control file, using the same UNTIL clause specified on the failing RECOVER command, then reissue the command. If no control file can be restored, then you should issue a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

RMAN-06096 SWITCH required for newname of datafile string to take effect

Cause: A SET NEWNAME was issued for this datafile, but no SWITCH command was issued before the RECOVER command.

Action: Issue a SWITCH command to make the new name take effect before doing RECOVER.

RMAN-06097 text of failing SQL statement: string

Cause: This is an informational message to accompany message 6003 or 6004.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06098 the target database must be mounted when issuing a BACKUP command

Cause: A BACKUP command was issued, but the target database control file is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06101 no channel to restore a backup or copy of the controlfile

Cause: A control file restore could not proceed because the backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06102 no channel to restore a backup or copy of log thread number seq number scn string

Cause: An archive log restore could not proceed because the backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06103 duplicate qualifier found in REPORT command: string

Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a REPORT qualifier list.

Action: Delete the duplicate qualifier.

RMAN-06104 clone name for datafile number unset

Cause: This message is issued in response to a SET CLONENAME FOR datafile TO NULL command. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06105 duplicate qualifier found in LIST command: string

Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a LIST qualifier list.

Action: Delete the duplicate qualifier.

RMAN-06106 this command requires that target database be mounted

Cause: A command was issued that requires the target database to be mounted, but the target database is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06107 warning - controlfile is not current for REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS

Cause: The REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS command may report some files as requiring backups when they really do not, because the most current online status of the file is not known unless a current control file is mounted.

Action: No action required, however, a current control file should be mounted, if possible, to get the most accurate REPORT output.

RMAN-06108 changed datafile copy unvailable

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure.

RMAN-06125 error while looking up archivelog key: number

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified archive log key in the recovery catalog.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure.

RMAN-06126 skipping offline file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it is offline and the SKIP OFFLINE option was specified.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06127 skipping read only file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it is read only and the SKIP READONLY option was specified.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06128 skipping inaccessible file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it could not be read, and the SKIP INACCESSIBLE option was specified.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06129 invalid reserved channel ID: string

Cause: The specified channel ID is invalid. DELETE and DEFAULT are reserved channel names and may not be specified by users.

Action: Specify a different channel ID.

RMAN-06130 snapshot controlfile name set to: string

Cause: The snapshot control file name was not set, so RMAN set it to the default value.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06131 skip offline/readonly only allowed with current controlfile

Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE and SKIP READONLY options are only permitted when the target database control file is current. When the target control file is not current, it is not possible to obtain a datafile's offline/read-only status.

Action: Remove the skip option or mount a current control file on the target database.

RMAN-06132 cannot backup datafile string because it is not in the controlfile

Cause: A backup command was issued that includes the specified datafile, but the datafile is not listed in the control file. The control file is not current (it is a backup or a created control file).

Action: Recover the control file to make it current, then retry the backup command.

RMAN-06133 recovery catalog may have obsolete data for datafile string

Cause: A RESTORE UNTIL was issued, and the recovery catalog choose an older incarnation of the datafile than is listed in the control file.

Action: If the recovery catalog has correct data for the datafile, then restore a backup control file using the same UNTIL clause, then retry the datafile restore. Otherwise, restore a backup of the incarnation of the datafile listed in the control file.

RMAN-06134 host command complete

Cause: An operating system command has completed.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

RMAN-06135 error executing host command: string

Cause: A host command returned a non-zero return code.

Action: Correct the offending command.

RMAN-06136 ORACLE error from auxiliary database: string

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.

Action: Check the accompanying errors.

RMAN-06137 must have recovery catalog for REPORT SCHEMA AT TIME

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA at_clause command was issued, but there is no recovery catalog database.

Action: If you are not using a recovery catalog, then you may only issue the REPORT SCHEMA command with no at_clause.

RMAN-06138 controlfile not mounted - must specify AT clause with REPORT command

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and there is also no control file mounted at the target database, so there is no place to get the information about the current list of files comprising the database.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a control file at the target database.

RMAN-06139 warning - controlfile is not current for REPORT SCHEMA

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and the control file mounted by the target instance is not current, so the information about the current list of datafiles may not be current.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a current control file.

RMAN-06140 cannot specify TAG option with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The TAG option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no TAG associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06141 cannot specify TAG option with ARCHIVELOG list

Cause: The TAG option was specified with an ARCHIVELOG list. This is not permitted because there is no TAG associated with archive log copies or backup sets.

Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06142 DEVICE TYPE may only be specified with LIST BACKUP

Cause: The DEVICE TYPE option was specified with a LIST COPY, LIST INCARNATION, CROSSCHECK, or DELETE EXPIRED command. This is not permitted because only backup sets may reside on different types of devices and CROSSCHECK and DELETE EXPIRED commands must use the same device type as was specified in the ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE/DELETE command.

Action: Remove the DEVICE TYPE option and re-run the command.

RMAN-06143 LIKE may only be specified with LIST COPY

Cause: The LIKE option was specified with a list BACKUP or INCARNATION command. This is not permitted because only copies of datafiles or archive logs have file names that may be tested with a LIKE operand.

Action: Remove the LIKE option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06144 FROM or UNTIL may not be specified with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The FROM or UNTIL option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no time associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the FROM or UNTIL option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06145 controlfile is not current - obsolete file list may be incomplete

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. If the mounted control file is not current, it may not be possible to determine if a satisfactory backup exists for files which have been offline since the last OPEN RESETLOGS. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required. To ensure a complete report of obsolete backups, mount a current control file.

RMAN-06146 changes found for file number beyond offline SCN

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. A backup was found for a file which is shown as offline in the target database control file, but the backup contains changes beyond the SCN when the file went offline. This is most likely because the target database control file is not really current, but is a restored copy of an older control file.

Action: Mount a current control file or a backup control file.

RMAN-06147 no obsolete backups found

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command could find no files that meet the specified criteria for obsoleteness. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06148 redundancy count must be greater than zero

Cause: The REDUNDANCY operand specified for a CHANGE or REPORT OBSOLETE command was zero.

Action: Specify a REDUNDANCY operand value greater than or equal to 1.

RMAN-06149 must have recovery catalog for SET AUXNAME

Cause: A SET AUXNAME command was issued, but there is no recovery catalog database.

Action: If a recovery catalog exists, then specify the RCVCAT option when starting Recovery Manager, otherwise the SET AUXNAME command may not be used.

RMAN-06150 auxiliary name for datafile number set to: string

Cause: This message is issued in response to a SET AUXNAME command. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06151 datafile string creation scn string

Cause: This is an informational message. It should be accompanied by other messages.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06152 CHANGE VALIDATE not supported for backup pieces or backup sets.

Cause: The CHANGE VALIDATE command may not be performed on a backup piece.

Action: The CHANGE VALIDATE command may only be performed on datafile copies and archived logs. To verify the contents of a backup set, use the VALIDATE BACKUPSET command, which must be use inside of an RMAN RUN command.

RMAN-06153 validation failed for datafile copy

Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILE COPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06154 validation succeeded for datafile copy

Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILE COPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06155 validation failed for controlfile copy

Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06156 validation succeeded for controlfile copy

Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06157 validation failed for archived log

Cause: The CHANGE ARCHIVELOG VALIDATE command found that the archived log could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06158 validation succeeded for archived log

Cause: The CHANGE ARCHIVED LOG VALIDATE command found that the archived log still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06159 error while looking up backup set

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup set in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the key is entered correctly. If the backup set was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06160 no backup pieces found for backup set key: number

Cause: No backup pieces for the requested backup set were found in the recovery catalog, or the target database control file.

Action: Specify an existing backup set.

RMAN-06161 error when inspecting auxiliary filename: string

Cause: This error is accompanied by other errors explaining the cause.

Action: Correct the auxiliary file name if it is wrong via the SET AUXNAME command.

RMAN-06162 sql statement: string

Cause: This is the SQL statement about to be executed for a SQL command. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06163 some datafiles cannot be recovered, aborting the RECOVER command

Cause: This message should be followed by one or more 6162 or 6164 messages.

Action: Refer to the accompanying messages.

RMAN-06164 no channel of required type allocated to recover datafile number

Cause: A RECOVER command could not proceed because incremental backup sets or archive log backup sets exist on a device type that has not been allocated.

Action: Use the LIST command to determine which device type is needed, then allocate a channel of that type.

RMAN-06165 datafile string is too old to recover, restore a more recent copy

Cause: The archived logs and/or incremental backup sets required to recover the datafile do not exist, but a more recent backup of the datafile exists which can be recovered.

Action: Issue a RESTORE for the datafile, then reissue the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06166 datafile string cannot be recovered

Cause: Incremental backups or archived redo logs needed to recover the datafile cannot be found, and no recoverable full backup or datafile copy exists.

Action: Use the LIST command to see if there is a backup set or datafile copy that can be made AVAILABLE. If not, then the datafile is unrecoverable. If a full or datafile copy exists, then a point-in-time recovery may be possible.

RMAN-06167 already connected

Cause: A CONNECT command was issued, but RMAN is already connected to the specified database.

Action: RMAN has no DISCONNECT command, so to connect to a different instance, exit RMAN and start it again.

RMAN-06168 no backup pieces with this tag found: string

Cause: A tag was used to specify a list of backup pieces, but no backup pieces with this tag could be found.

Action: Make sure the tag is specified correctly.

RMAN-06169 could not read file header for datafile string error reason string

Cause: The specified datafile could not be accessed. The reason codes are:

  • 1 - file name is missing in the control file

  • 2 - file is offline

  • 3 - file is not verified

  • 4 - DBWR could not find the file

  • 5 - unable to open file

  • 6 - I/O error during read

  • 7 - file header is corrupt

  • 8 - file is not a datafile

  • 9 - file does not belong to this database

  • 10 - file number is incorrect

  • 12 - wrong file version

  • 15 - control file is not current

Action: If the error can be corrected, do so and retry the operation. The SKIP option can be used to ignore this error during a backup.

RMAN-06170 no controlfile copy found with offline range recid string stamp string datafile string

Cause: This offline range is needed for recovering the specified datafile, but the offline range record has aged out of the current control file and no control file copy with the record could be accessed. At least one control file copy containing the offline range was found in the recovery catalog and was in AVAILABLE status.

Action: Query the RC_CONTROLFILE_COPY view for the names of all control file copies, then issue a CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY... VALIDATE; command for them. Then reissue the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06171 not connected to target database

Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the target database has been established.

Action: Issue a CONNECT TARGET command to connect to the target database.

RMAN-06172 not connected to recovery catalog database

Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the recovery catalog database has been established.

Action: Issue a CONNECT RCVCAT command to connect to the recovery catalog database. If you are not have a recovery catalog, then you must use the NOCATALOG option when starting RMAN.

RMAN-06173 no set newname command has been issued for datafile string when restore auxiliary

Cause: Auxiliary type was specified for the control file, but no SET NEWNAME command has been previously issued for a datafile.

Action: Issue SET NEWNAME command for every datafile in the recovery set.

RMAN-06174 not connected to auxiliary database

Cause: A auxiliary command was issued but no connection to an auxiliary database has been established.

Action: Issue a CONNECT AUXILIARY command to connect to the auxiliary database.

RMAN-06175 deleted script: string

Cause: A DELETE SCRIPT command was executed.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06176 no recovery required; all files are readonly or offline

Cause: A RECOVER DATABASE command does not need to recover any files because all of the files to be recovered are offline or read only. This can only occur when the SKIP clause includes the system tablespace. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06177 restore not done; all files readonly, offline, or already restored

Cause: A RESTORE command does not need to restore any files, because all of the files to be restored are offline, read only, or are already restored to their correct destinations. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06178 datafile number not processed because file is offline

Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is offline clean at the desired point in time. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06179 datafile number not processed because file is read only

Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is part of a read-only tablespace at the desired point in time. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06180 incremental backups require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition

Cause: A BACKUP command with LEVEL > 0 was specified.

Action: Use LEVEL=0.

RMAN-06181 multiple channels require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition

Cause: Attempt to allocate more than one channel in a job.

Action: Remove the ALLOCATE CHANNEL commands.

RMAN-06182 archivelog larger than SETSIZE: thread string seq string string

Cause: A BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command specified the SETSIZE operand too low. The specified archive log is larger than SETSIZE will allow.

Action: Increase the SETSIZE limit.

RMAN-06183 datafile or datafilecopy larger than SETSIZE: file# string string

Cause: A BACKUP DATAFILE(copy) command specified the SETSIZE operand too low. The specified datafile is larger than SETSIZE will allow.

Action: Increase the SETSIZE limit.

RMAN-06184 duplicate object in backup specifier: string string

Cause: A backup command specifies the same datafile or copy of a datafile multiple times.

Action: Eliminate the duplicates.

RMAN-06185 Recovery Manager incompatible with string database: RMAN number.number.number to number.number.number required

Cause: This version of Recovery Manager is incompatible with the indicated database or the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE package installed in the indicated database.

Action: If the database has been upgraded from an earlier version, ensure that the CATXXXX.SQL script has been run successfully. Re-install DBMSBKRS.SQL and PRVTBKRS.PLB if necessary. Otherwise, use a version of RMAN within the range specified in the error message.

RMAN-06186 PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too old

Cause: The specified PL/SQL package is a version that is too old to work with this version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN).

Action: If the database indicated is RCVCAT, then you can use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade the recovery catalog to the most current version. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the specified database or use an older version of RMAN.

RMAN-06187 controlfile copy string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynchronized with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06188 cannot use command when connected to target database

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when there is no connection to the target database.

Action: Avoid using the command, or restart RMAN and use the command before connecting to the target database.

RMAN-06189 current DBID number does not match target mounted database (number)

Cause: SET DBID was used to set a DBID that does not match the DBID of the database to which RMAN is connected.

Action: If the current operation is a restore to copy the database, do not mount the database. Otherwise, avoid using the SET DBID command, or restart RMAN.

RMAN-06190 PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is not current

Cause: RMAN detected an old version of the specified package. RMAN will execute in backwards-compatible mode.

Action: No action is required, but certain features and bug fixes may not be available when RMAN runs in backwards-compatible mode. If the database is RCVCAT, then you can use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade the recovery catalog to the most current version. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the specified database or use an older version of RMAN. The files that must be run to upgrade the target or auxiliary database are DBMSRMAN.SQL and PRVTRMAN.PLB.

RMAN-06191 PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too new

Cause: RMAN detected an incompatible version of the specified package.

Action: Use a newer version of Recovery Manager. Message 6439 indicates the minimum required version of Recovery Manager.

RMAN-06313 string string string string string string string

Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST BACKUP DATABASE/TABLESPACE/DATAFILE command when some backups were taken with the PROXY option. If a recovery catalog is in use, then the information comes from the recovery catalog, otherwise it comes from the target database control file. The following fields are shown for each proxy datafile backup.

  • Key: This is the unique key which identifies this proxy backup in the recovery catalog. This value can be used in a CHANGE command to change its status. If the target database control file is being used as the recovery catalog, then this field uniquely identifies this copy in the control file.

RMAN-06400 database opened

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06401 database is already started

Cause: A STARTUP command without the FORCE option was issued, but the target database is already started.

Action: Use the FORCE option if you want to restart the database.

RMAN-06402 Oracle instance shut down

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06403 could not obtain a fully authorized session

Cause: The most likely cause of this error is that one of the databases to which RMAN had previously connected is not started or has been shut down. Other error messages should identify exactly which database is the problem.

Action: Start the database that is causing the problem.

RMAN-06404 database dismounted

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06405 database closed

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06406 deleted archivelog

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06408 recovery catalog upgraded to version string

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG command. It indicates the version of the recovery catalog schema to which the recovery catalog was just upgraded. Note that this version number may not reflect the version number of your RMAN executable or target database, because the recovery catalog schema is not changed with each Oracle release.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06409 LIKE clause in LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG is not supported

Cause: LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG LIKE was used, which is not supported.

Action: Remove LIKE clause from command.

RMAN-06410 cannot use command when channels are allocated

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when there are no allocated channels.

Action: Do not use the command, or de-allocate channels and use the command when no channels are allocated.

RMAN-06411 duplex setting out of range (1-4): number

Cause: An attempt was made to set duplexing to an invalid value.

Action: Use a value in the specified range.

RMAN-06412 no proxy copy channel found

Cause: A proxy copy was started, but no allocated channel supports proxy copy. This could be because the media management software used by the target database does not support proxy copy, or because all of the allocated channels are of type DISK, which never support proxy copy.

Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the target database, the CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands should be used so that those backups will not be considered for further restores.

RMAN-06413 channel string does not support proxy copy

Cause: The channel which was specified for this backup or restore does not support proxy copy. This could be because the media management software used by the target database does not support proxy copy, or because the channel is of type DISK, which never supports proxy copy.

Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the target database, the CROSSCHECK command should be used so that those backups will not be considered for further restores.

RMAN-06414 target database COMPATIBLE option does not support proxy copy

Cause: PROXY was specified, and the target database uses a media manager that supports proxy copy, but the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter of the target database must be 8.1.0 or greater to create proxy backups. If the database is downgraded to the earlier release that is specified in the COMPATIBLE parameter, then it will no longer be able to restore proxy backups.

Action: Either take a non-proxy backup or change the target database COMPATIBLE parameter.

RMAN-06415 file string cannot be proxy backed up

Cause: The PROXY option was specified, but the media management software used by the target database cannot back up the specified file using proxy copy. If PROXY ONLY was specified, then the backup is terminated. If PROXY was specified, then this file will be placed into a non-proxy backup set.

Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of this file.

RMAN-06416 PROXY ONLY was specified and some files could not be proxy copied

Cause: PROXY ONLY was specified, and some of the files to be backed up could not be backed up by the media management software used by the target database. Message 6415 is issued for each file that cannot be proxy copied.

Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of these files.

RMAN-06417 proxy backup of archive logs not supported

Cause: The BACKUP PROXY ARCHIVELOG command was entered. Proxy backup of archive logs is not yet supported.

Action: Enter a different command.

RMAN-06418 proxy incremental backups with level > 0 not supported

Cause: PROXY was specified for a non-level-zero incremental backup. Proxy backups may only be full or level 0 backups.

Action: Remove one of the conflicting options.

RMAN-06419 file string cannot be proxy restored from handle string

Cause: The media management software used by the target database indicated that it cannot restore the specified file from the specified backup handle.

Action: Consult the media management software documentation to find out why this restriction exists or contact the media management vendor.

RMAN-06420 some files could not be proxy restored - aborting restore

Cause: Some of the files to be restored could not be restored by the media management software used by the target database. Message 6419 is issued for each file that cannot be restored.

Action: Contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of these files. The CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands can be used to remove these proxy copies from the catalog to prevent the RESTORE command from trying to restore from these proxy backups.

RMAN-06421 sent command to channel: string

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06422 no channels found for SEND command

Cause: No channels with the specified names or device types were found. If no channel qualifiers were specified, then no channels were allocated.

Action: Specify a different channel type or allocate a channel of the desired type.

RMAN-06423 requested limit of number exceeds vendor limit of number

Cause: A SETLIMIT CHANNEL command was used to set the backup piece size limit, but the media management software used by the target database cannot create backup pieces that large.

Action: Specify a smaller backup piece limit.

RMAN-06424 error while looking up proxy copy

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified proxy copy in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the proxy copy was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06425 datafile_pathname_not_available

Cause: This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06426 RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role must be granted to user string

Cause: The CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command was used, but the userid that was supplied in the RCVCAT connect string does not have the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role granted as a DEFAULT role.

Action: Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the recovery catalog owner.

RMAN-06427 recovery catalog already exists

Cause: The CREATE CATALOG command cannot be used when the recovery catalog already exists.

Action: Use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade your recovery catalog to the most current release without losing any existing backup data. Use the DROP CATALOG command to remove an existing recovery catalog.

RMAN-06428 recovery catalog is not installed

Cause: A recovery catalog database connection has been made, but the recovery catalog tables and views have not been installed.

Action: If you incorrectly typed the recovery catalog owner USERID, then correct the userid and reconnect to the recovery catalog. If this is the first time that you have signed on to Recovery Manager with this recovery catalog owner userid, then use the CREATE CATALOG command to create the recovery catalog schema.

RMAN-06429 string database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

Cause: The indicated database is not compatible with this version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN). Other messages have also been issued which detail the cause of the error.

Action: See the other messages. If the database is RCVCAT, then you may be able to use the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG commands to correct the problem. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the target database or use a newer version of the RMAN executable.

RMAN-06430 recovery catalog userid cannot be SYS

Cause: A recovery catalog connection was made to userid SYS. The recovery catalog must be created in a userid other than SYS.

Action: Specify a different userid in the RCVCAT connect string.

RMAN-06431 recovery catalog created

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the CREATE CATALOG command.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06432 recovery catalog dropped

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the DROP CATALOG command.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-06433 error installing recovery catalog

Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while it was being installed. Another error message shows the error message from the server.

Action: The most common reasons for failure to install the recovery catalog are:

  • Lack of space in the recovery catalog database: allocate more space, use the DROP CATALOG command to remove any partially installed recovery catalog, and retry the command.

  • Object already exists: This is caused by a partial recovery catalog installation. Use the DROP CATALOG command to remove the partially installed recovery catalog and retry the command.

RMAN-06434 some errors occurred while removing recovery catalog

Cause: Some errors were received from the recovery catalog database while removing the recovery catalog.

Action: Correct the error(s) and retry the command. Note that the Recovery Manager intercepts and ignores common errors, such as 'object not found', which can happen while removing a partially installed recovery catalog. Only serious errors will be displayed while removing the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06435 recovery catalog owner is string

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG and DROP CATALOG commands.

RMAN-06436 enter DROP CATALOG command again to confirm catalog removal

Cause: The DROP CATALOG command deletes the recovery catalog, rendering all database backups unusable, and should be used with care. The command must be entered twice to ensure that this is really what you want to do.

Action: If you really want to remove the recovery catalog, then enter the DROP CATALOG command again.

RMAN-06437 cannot drop catalog - catalog is newer than this RMAN

Cause: The DROP CATALOG command was entered, but the recovery catalog was created by a newer version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN). This version of RMAN may not be able to drop the entire recovery catalog.

Action: Use the version of RMAN which most recently created or upgraded the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06438 error executing package DBMS_RCVMAN in string database

Cause: Recovery Manager requires the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the SYS schema of the indicated database. Normally this package is installed during database creation.

Action: To re-create the package, run the files DBMSRMAN.SQL and PRVTRMNS.PLB.

RMAN-06439 RMAN must be upgraded to version string to work with this package

Cause: This message indicates the minimum version of Recovery Manager required to use the package which was specified in message 6191.

Action: A newer version of RMAN must be used with this package.

RMAN-06441 cannot upgrade catalog - catalog is already newer than this RMAN

Cause: The recovery catalog is already at a version level that is greater than this version of the Recovery Manager. The UPGRADE CATALOG command is not needed.

Action: Either upgrade to a more recent Recovery Manager, or continue to use the current version. Message 6191 will be issued if the recovery catalog is too new to work with this version of Recovery Manager.

RMAN-06442 enter UPGRADE CATALOG command again to confirm catalog upgrade

Cause: The UPGRADE CATALOG command alters the recovery catalog schema. Although the recovery catalog is designed to be compatible with older versions of the Recovery Manager (RMAN), it is possible that an upgrade will remove support for older versions of RMAN.

Action: If you really want to upgrade the recovery catalog, then enter the UPGRADE CATALOG command again. If you are not going to use an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog, then compatibility is not an issue. If you plan to also continue using an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog then, before upgrading, consult Oracle8i Migration or the migration guide for the current Oracle release to determine if upgrading to the current version of the recovery catalog will remove support for older versions of RMAN.

RMAN-06443 error upgrading recovery catalog

Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while upgrading the recovery catalog.

Action: Correct the error and retry the command. Note that the Recovery Manager intercepts and ignores common errors, such as 'column already exists,' which can happen if the recovery catalog has already been partially upgraded. Only serious errors will be displayed while upgrading the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06444 string created with compilation errors

Cause: During the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command, the indicated PL/SQL package specification or body could not be created because of PL/SQL compilation errors.

Action: The PL/SQL packages used by the recovery catalog are located in the RECOVER.BSQ library file, and should never be modified. Make sure that the RECOVER.BSQ file has not been modified or damaged, and then if this error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support. Connect to the recovery catalog owner and query the USER_ERRORS view to find out the details of the compilation errors.

RMAN-06445 cannot connect to recovery catalog after NOCATALOG has been used

Cause: The CONNECT CATALOG command was used after the user had already specified the NOCATALOG option.

Action: Re-start RMAN if you wish to use a recovery catalog.

Action: This error should be followed by other errors indicating the cause of the problem.

RMAN-20001 target database not found in recovery catalog

Cause: Target database is not found in the recovery catalog.

Action: Make sure that the target database is registered in the recovery catalog.

RMAN-20002 target database already registered in recovery catalog

Cause: Target database is already registered in the recovery catalog.

Action: If the target database is really registered, there is no need to register it again. Note that the recovery catalog enforces that all databases have a unique DBID. If the new database was created by copying files from an existing database, it will have the same DBID as the original database and cannot be registered in the same recovery catalog.

RMAN-20003 target database incarnation not found in recovery catalog

Cause: Resetlogs change# and/or time of the target database does not match any database incarnation in the recovery catalog.

Action: If target database was opened with resetlogs option then use RESET DATABASE to register the new incarnation.

RMAN-20004 target database name does not match name in recovery catalog

Cause: Name of the target database does not match the one stored in the recovery catalog. This is an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-20005 target database name is ambiguous

Cause: Two or more databases in the recovery catalog match the DB_NAME initialization parameter of the instance and the target database is not mounted, so RMAN cannot get its DBID.

Action: Mount the target database then retry the operation.

RMAN-20006 target database name is missing

Cause: The target database instance is not started or the value of the DB_NAME initialization parameter is not set.

Action: Start the instance and make sure that the value of the DB_NAME initialization parameter is set.

RMAN-20007 target database id is missing

Cause: This an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-20008 database incarnation key is missing

Cause: The database incarnation key was not specified.

Action: Specify a valid database incarnation key.

RMAN-20009 database incarnation already registered

Cause: This incarnation is already registered in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.

Action: No action required.

RMAN-20010 database incarnation not found

Cause: Database incarnation does not match any database incarnation in the recovery catalog.

Action: Specify a valid database incarnation key.

RMAN-20011 target database incarnation is not current in recovery catalog

Cause: The database incarnation that matches the resetlogs change# and time of the mounted target database control file is not the current incarnation of the database.

Action: If RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION key was used to make an old incarnation current, then restore the target database from a backup that matches the incarnation and mount it. You will need to do STARTUP NOMOUNT before you can restore the control file using RMAN. Otherwise use RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION key to make the intended incarnation current in the recovery catalog.
