cannot flashback data file string - missing incarnation information

Cause

Flashback Database failed because incarnation information for the start of the offline range for a file was not found in the control file. Flashback could not update the file's header with the missing incarnation's resetlogs information.


Action

Check the trace log for the offline range of the data file. If redo logs from the missing incarnation can be found, register the logs in the control file and retry the command.
