Database Error Messages

RMAN-20501

redo logs from parent database incarnation cannot be applied

Cause

A RESTORE or RECOVER of a data file was requested, but recovery of the data file would require applying redo logs that were generated before the most recent OPEN RESETLOGS.


Action

If a full backup or data file copy from the current database incarnation exists, ensure that it is marked AVAILABLE, and that a channel of the correct device type is allocated. It may also be necessary to remove the FROM BACKUPSET or FROM DATAFILECOPY or FROM TAG operands if these have been specified.
