ORA-16434

Archive log for branch string thread string sequence string cannot be queued.

Cause

An archive log needed by the standby database to resolve a redo gap was not found on the source database. This is an unrecoverable error during a switchover or a failover assisted by a far sync instance because the source database waits for the target standby to be clear of all archive log gaps before allowing the operation to proceed. If a redo gap cannot be resolved, the operation fails.


Action

If the specified log is listed in V$ARCHIVED_LOG for the DEST_ID of the local destination on the source database but no longer exists at that location on disk, copy the archived log back to the listed location to allow gap processing to automatically resolve the gap. If the specified log has been purged from V$ARCHIVED_LOG, copy the archived log to disk on either the source or destination database and register it using the ALTER DATABASE REGISTER OR REPLACE LOGFILE command.
