ORA-00259

log string of open instance string (thread string) is the current log, cannot archive

Cause

An attempt was made to archive the current log of an open thread. This was not allowed because the redo log file might be in use for the generation of redo entries.


Action

Force a log switch in the instance where the thread is open. If no instances are open, then open the database so that instance recovery can recover the thread.
