RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

Cause: A restore could not proceed because no autobackup was found or specified handle is not a valid copy or backup piece. In case of restore from autobackup, it may be the case that a backup exists, but it does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user s restore operands. In case of restore from handle, it may be the handle is not a backup piece or controflile copy. In may be that it does not exist.

Action: Modify autobackup search criteria or verify the handle.

RMAN-06171: not connected to target database

RMAN-06170: no control file copy found with offline range recid string stamp string datafile string

RMAN-06170: no control file copy found with offline range recid string stamp string datafile string

Cause: This offline range is needed for recovering the specified datafile, but the offline range record has aged out of the current control file and no control file copy with the record could be accessed. At least 1 control file copy containing the offline range was found in the recovery catalog and was in AVAILABLE status.

Action: Query the rc_controlfile_copy view for the names of all control file copies, then issue a CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY ... VALIDATE; command for them. Then reissue the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06168: no backup pieces with this tag found: string

RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found

RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command could find no files that meet the specified criteria for obsoleteness.

Action: None -this is an informational message.

RMAN-06146: changes found for file number beyond offline SCN

RMAN-06146: changes found for file number beyond offline SCN

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. A backup was found for a file which is shown as offline in the target database control file, but the backup contains changes beyond the SCN when the file went offline. This is most likely because the target database control file is not really current, but is a restored copy of an older control file.

Action: Mount a current control file or a backup control file.

RMAN-06145: control file is not current - obsolete file list may be incomplete

RMAN-06145: control file is not current - obsolete file list may be incomplete

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. If the mounted control file is not current, it may not be possible to determine if a satisfactory backup exists for files which have been offline since the last OPEN RESETLOGS.

Action: No action need be taken - this is an informational message only. To ensure a complete report of obsolete backups, mount a current control file.

RMAN-06144: FROM or UNTIL may not be specified with LIST INCARNATION

RMAN-06144: FROM or UNTIL may not be specified with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The FROM or UNTIL option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no time associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the FROM or UNTIL option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06143: LIKE may only be specified with COPY

RMAN-06143: LIKE may only be specified with COPY

Cause: The LIKE option was specified with a RMAN command. This is not permitted because only copies of datafiles, control files or archive logs have file names that may be tested with a LIKE operand.

Action: Remove the LIKE option and re-run the RMAN command.

RMAN-06142: DEVICE TYPE cannot be specified with this command

RMAN-06142: DEVICE TYPE cannot be specified with this command

Cause: The DEVICE TYPE option was specified with a command that does not support it.

Action: Remove the DEVICE TYPE option and re-run the command.

RMAN-06141: cannot specify ARCHIVELOG LIKE option with RESTORE

RMAN-06141: cannot specify ARCHIVELOG LIKE option with RESTORE

Cause: The ARCHIVELOG LIKE option was specified with RESTORE. This is not permitted because recovery catalog contains only those records that are not deleted from disk.

Action: Remove the ARCHIVELOG LIKE option and re-run the command.

RMAN-06140: cannot specify TAG option with LIST INCARNATION

RMAN-06140: cannot specify TAG option with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The TAG option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no TAG associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06139: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT SCHEMA

RMAN-06139: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT SCHEMA

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and the control file mounted by the target instance is not current, so the information about the current list of datafiles may not be current.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a current control file.

RMAN-06138: control file not mounted - must specify AT clause with REPORT command

RMAN-06138: control file not mounted - must specify AT clause with REPORT command

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and there is also no control file mounted at the target database, so there is no place to get the information about the current list of files comprising the database.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a control file at the target database.

RMAN-06137: must have recovery catalog for REPORT SCHEMA AT TIME

RMAN-06137: must have recovery catalog for REPORT SCHEMA AT TIME

Cause: A REPORT SCHEMA at_clause command was issued, but there is no recovery catalog database.
