Database Error Messages

OCI-19842

The current database incarnation changed during backup.

Cause

The backup failed because the current database incarnation was changed during the backup. One of these events caused this incarnation change:

  • The database was opened using ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS statement.
  • RMAN command RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION was issued.
  • If this happened on physical standby database, then redo apply has applied redo data from a new database incarnation.

Action

Retry the backup command.
