RMAN-06078

the control file is older than datafile string

Cause

The control file appears to be older than the specified data file, but it is not marked as a backup control file. This indicates that the control file has been replaced with an older version. This error does not occur when a backup control file which was created via Recovery Manager or the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE command is restored because such control files are marked as backups.


Action

RESTORE a control file and perform RECOVER DATABASE.
