Database Error Messages

OCI-19648

For data file data_file, incremental-start SCN equals checkpoint SCN.
  • data_file: The data file number.

Cause

The incremental-start System Change Number (SCN), which was specified when starting an incremental backup of a data file, is equal to the data file's checkpoint SCN. Since an incremental backup can only be applied to a data file whose checkpoint SCN is between the backup set's incremental-start SCN (inclusive) and the backup set's checkpoint SCN (exclusive), there is no data file that this backup set could ever be applied to.


Action

This message might be encountered while taking an incremental backup with Recovery Manager. Recovery Manager should intercept all usual cases of this error and simply ignore the incremental backup of this data file. If you do encounter this error, report it to Oracle Support.

Specify a smaller incremental-start SCN and retry your command.
