RMAN-06059

expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability

Cause

The archived log was not found. The recovery catalog or target database control file thinks it does exist. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is no backup, then the database is no longer recoverable across the point-in-time covered by the archived log. This may occur because the archived log was removed by an outside utility without updating the recovery catalog or target database control file.


Action

If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and the archived log has already been backed up, then you can synchronize the recovery catalog or target database control file by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL. If the archived log has not been previously backed up, then you should take a full backup of the database and archived logs to preserve recoverability. Previous backups are not fully recoverable.
