Database Error Messages

ORA-19903

test recovery not allowed when recovering to new incarnation

Cause

Either a new incarnation was set using RMAN's RESET DATABASE command for a control file that was CURRENT, or the control file is from a prior incarnation. As recovery to a new incarnation requires changing the control file, test recovery is not allowed.


Action

Perform actual recovery or RESET DATABASE to incarnation that was last opened using the control file to do test recovery.
