Cause: Media recovery is requesting a log whose existence is not recorded in the recovery catalog or control file.
Action: If a copy of the log is available, then add it to the recovery catalog and/or control file via a CATALOG command and then retry the RECOVER command. If not, then a point in time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative.
RMAN-06055 could not find log sequence string thread string
Cause: A log which was on disk at the start of media recovery or which should have been restored from a backup set could not be found.
Action: Check the Recovery Manager message log to see if the log was restored by a previous job step. If so, then check the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to see if the log is listed in the control file. If so, then validate that the log exists on disk and is readable. If the log was not restored, or was restored but no record of the log exists in V$ARCHIVED_LOG, then contact Oracle Customer Support.
RMAN-06056 could not access datafile number
Cause: A backup could not proceed because the datafile header could not be read or the header was not valid.
Action: Make the datafile accessible or skip it.
RMAN-06066 the target database must be mounted when issuing a RECOVER command
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database control file is not mounted.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06067 RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created controlfile
Cause: The control file has been restored from a backup or was created via ALTER DATABASE CREATE CONTROLFILE.
Action: Use the RECOVER DATABASE command to perform the recovery.
RMAN-06068 recovery aborted because of missing datafiles
Cause: This error should be accompanied by one or more instances of message ORA-06094.
Action: Refer to message ORA-06094.
RMAN-06069 controlfile is missing the filename for datafile string
Cause: Media recovery of a backup control file added this datafile to the control file, but it does not set the file name because that is unsafe.
Action: If the datafile is on disk, then issue ALTER DATABASE RENAME to correct the control file. Otherwise, RESTORE the datafile, and then use SWITCH to make it known to the control file. If the tablespace containing this datafile will be dropped, then reissue the RECOVER command with a SKIP clause to skip recovery of this tablespace.
RMAN-06070 DBWR could not identify datafile string
Cause: DBWR could not find the specified datafile.
Action: Check the location of your datafile.
RMAN-06071 could not open datafile string

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06073 file header is corrupt for datafile string
Cause: Oracle detected a corruption in the file header. A media failure has probably occurred.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06074 file string is not an ORACLE datafile
Cause: The file header indicates that this file is not a datafile. The file may have been overlaid or corrupted.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06075 datafile string does not belong to this database
Cause: The file header indicates that this file belongs to some other Oracle database.
Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06076 datafile string contains wrong datafile
Cause: The datafile header indicates the file contains a different datafile number.
Action: RESTORE the datafile, and then retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06077 datafile string is a different version than contained in the controlfile
Cause: The control file entry for this datafile specifies a different version of this datafile. Different versions of a datafile can exist when a tablespace is dropped, and a new tablespace is created which reuses the same datafile numbers.
Action: If the datafile is correct, the fix the control file by using the SWITCH command. Otherwise, RESTORE the correct version of this datafile and retry the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06078 the controlfile is older than datafile string
Cause: The control file appears to be older than the specified datafile, 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.
RMAN-06079 database must be mounted to perform recovery
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database is not mounted.
Action: Issue ALTER DATABASE MOUNT.
RMAN-06080 SWITCH required for datafile string
Cause: The control file record for this datafile is for an older incarnation of the datafile.
Action: Issue a SWITCH command to update the control file before doing RECOVER.
RMAN-06081 error reading datafile header for datafile string, code string
Cause: X$KCVFH returned the specified code in the HXERR column when it was queried for the specified datafile.
Action: Ensure the datafile exists and is readable. Using a newer release of Recovery Manager may return a more meaningful error message. If you have no newer version of Recovery Manager, contact Oracle Customer Support.
RMAN-06082 datafilecopy tag string is ambiguous
Cause: The specified tag refers to multiple datafile copies belonging to different datafiles.
Action: Specify the datafile copy by file name rather than by tag.
RMAN-06083 error when loading stored script string
Cause: The recovery catalog database returned an error. This error explains the cause of the problem.
Action: Correct the problem and retry.
RMAN-06084 the target database may not be mounted when issuing REPLICATE
Cause: A REPLICATE command was issued, but the target database is already mounted.
Action: dismount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE CLOSE and ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06085 must use SET NEWNAME command to restore datafile string
Cause: A RESTORE command for the specified datafile could not find a destination name for the specified datafile.
Action: Add a SET NEWNAME command prior to the RESTORE command to specify the restore destination for this file.
RMAN-06086 offline files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set
Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE option was specified for an archive log backup set.
Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.
RMAN-06087 read-only files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set
Cause: The SKIP READONLY option was specified for an archive log backup set.
Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.
RMAN-06088 datafile copy string not found or out of sync with catalog
Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynchronized with the target database.
Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.
RMAN-06089 archived log string not found or out of sync with catalog
Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynchronized with the target database.
Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.
RMAN-06090 error while looking up controlfile copy: string
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified control file copy in the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the file name is entered correctly. If the control file copy was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06091 no channel allocated for maintenance
Cause: A command was entered that requires a maintenance channel, and no maintenance channel is allocated.
Action: Use ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE before deleting backup pieces, or using the CROSSCHECK or DELETE EXPIRED commands.
RMAN-06092 error while looking up backup piece
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup piece in the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the backup piece was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06093 recovery catalog contains obsolete version of datafile string
Cause: The specified datafile number was dropped and then reused. The control file mounted by the target database contains the newer version of the datafile, but the recovery catalog contains information about only the older version.
Action: Issue a RESYNC command to update the recovery catalog, then reissue the failing command. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.
RMAN-06094 datafile string must be restored
Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, and the recovery catalog indicates the specified datafile should be part of the recovery, but this datafile is not listed in the control file, and cannot be found on disk.
Action: Issue a RESTORE command for this datafile, using the same UNTIL clause specified to the RECOVER command (if any), then reissue the RECOVER.
RMAN-06095 a backup controlfile must be restored to recover datafile string
Cause: The control file currently mounted by the target database contains a newer incarnation of the datafile than the recovery catalog indicates is appropriate for the point-in-time being recovered to.
Action: Restore the control file, using the same UNTIL clause specified on the failing RECOVER command, then reissue the command. If no control file can be restored, then you should issue a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
RMAN-06096 SWITCH required for newname of datafile string to take effect
Cause: A SET NEWNAME was issued for this datafile, but no SWITCH command was issued before the RECOVER command.
Action: Issue a SWITCH command to make the new name take effect before doing RECOVER.
RMAN-06097 text of failing SQL statement: string
Cause: This is an informational message to accompany message 6003 or 6004.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06098 the target database must be mounted when issuing a BACKUP command

RMAN-06105 duplicate qualifier found in LIST command: string
Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a LIST qualifier list.
Action: Delete the duplicate qualifier.
RMAN-06106 this command requires that target database be mounted
Cause: A command was issued that requires the target database to be mounted, but the target database is not mounted.
Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.
RMAN-06107 warning - controlfile is not current for REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS
Cause: The REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS command may report some files as requiring backups when they really do not, because the most current online status of the file is not known unless a current control file is mounted.
Action: No action required, however, a current control file should be mounted, if possible, to get the most accurate REPORT output.
RMAN-06108 changed datafile copy unvailable

RMAN-06129 invalid reserved channel ID: string
Cause: The specified channel ID is invalid. DELETE and DEFAULT are reserved channel names and may not be specified by users.
Action: Specify a different channel ID.
RMAN-06130 snapshot controlfile name set to: string
Cause: The snapshot control file name was not set, so RMAN set it to the default value.
Action: No action required. This is an informational message only.
RMAN-06131 skip offline/readonly only allowed with current controlfile
Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE and SKIP READONLY options are only permitted when the target database control file is current. When the target control file is not current, it is not possible to obtain a datafile's offline/read-only status.
Action: Remove the skip option or mount a current control file on the target database.
RMAN-06132 cannot backup datafile string because it is not in the controlfile
Cause: A backup command was issued that includes the specified datafile, but the datafile is not listed in the control file. The control file is not current (it is a backup or a created control file).
Action: Recover the control file to make it current, then retry the backup command.
RMAN-06133 recovery catalog may have obsolete data for datafile string
Cause: A RESTORE UNTIL was issued, and the recovery catalog choose an older incarnation of the datafile than is listed in the control file.
Action: If the recovery catalog has correct data for the datafile, then restore a backup control file using the same UNTIL clause, then retry the datafile restore. Otherwise, restore a backup of the incarnation of the datafile listed in the control file.
RMAN-06134 host command complete
Cause: An operating system command has completed.
Action: No action required. This is an informational message.
RMAN-06135 error executing host command: string
Cause: A host command returned a non-zero return code.

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.
Action: Check the accompanying errors.
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.
Action: If you are not using a recovery catalog, then you may only issue the REPORT SCHEMA command with no at_clause.
RMAN-06138 controlfile 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-06139 warning - controlfile 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-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-06141 cannot specify TAG option with ARCHIVELOG list
Cause: The TAG option was specified with an ARCHIVELOG list. This is not permitted because there is no TAG associated with archive log copies or backup sets.
Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.
RMAN-06142 DEVICE TYPE may only be specified with LIST BACKUP
Cause: The DEVICE TYPE option was specified with a LIST COPY, LIST INCARNATION, CROSSCHECK, or DELETE EXPIRED command. This is not permitted because only backup sets may reside on different types of devices and CROSSCHECK and DELETE EXPIRED commands must use the same device type as was specified in the ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE/DELETE command.
Action: Remove the DEVICE TYPE option and re-run the command.
RMAN-06143 LIKE may only be specified with LIST COPY
Cause: The LIKE option was specified with a list BACKUP or INCARNATION command. This is not permitted because only copies of datafiles or archive logs have file names that may be tested with a LIKE operand.
Action: Remove the LIKE option and re-run the LIST command.
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-06145 controlfile 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. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required. To ensure a complete report of obsolete backups, mount a current control file.
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-06147 no obsolete backups found
Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command could find no files that meet the specified criteria for obsoleteness. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06148 redundancy count must be greater than zero
Cause: The REDUNDANCY operand specified for a CHANGE or REPORT OBSOLETE command was zero.
Action: Specify a REDUNDANCY operand value greater than or equal to 1.
RMAN-06149 must have recovery catalog for SET AUXNAME
Cause: A SET AUXNAME command was issued, but there is no recovery catalog database.
Action: If a recovery catalog exists, then specify the RCVCAT option when starting Recovery Manager, otherwise the SET AUXNAME command may not be used.
RMAN-06150 auxiliary name for datafile number set to: string
Cause: This message is issued in response to a SET AUXNAME command. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06151 datafile string creation scn string
Cause: This is an informational message. It should be accompanied by other messages.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06152 CHANGE VALIDATE not supported for backup pieces or backup sets.
Cause: The CHANGE VALIDATE command may not be performed on a backup piece.
Action: The CHANGE VALIDATE command may only be performed on datafile copies and archived logs. To verify the contents of a backup set, use the VALIDATE BACKUPSET command, which must be use inside of an RMAN RUN command.
RMAN-06153 validation failed for datafile copy
Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILE COPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06154 validation succeeded for datafile copy
Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILE COPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06155 validation failed for controlfile copy
Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06156 validation succeeded for controlfile copy
Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06157 validation failed for archived log
Cause: The CHANGE ARCHIVELOG VALIDATE command found that the archived log could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06158 validation succeeded for archived log
Cause: The CHANGE ARCHIVED LOG VALIDATE command found that the archived log still matches its data in the recovery catalog. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06159 error while looking up backup set
Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup set in the recovery catalog or target database control file.
Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the key is entered correctly. If the backup set was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.
RMAN-06160 no backup pieces found for backup set key: number
Cause: No backup pieces for the requested backup set were found in the recovery catalog, or the target database control file.
Action: Specify an existing backup set.
RMAN-06161 error when inspecting auxiliary filename: string
Cause: This error is accompanied by other errors explaining the cause.
Action: Correct the auxiliary file name if it is wrong via the SET AUXNAME command.

Cause: This is the SQL statement about to be executed for a SQL command. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06163 some datafiles cannot be recovered, aborting the RECOVER command
Cause: This message should be followed by one or more 6162 or 6164 messages.
Action: Refer to the accompanying messages.
RMAN-06164 no channel of required type allocated to recover datafile number
Cause: A RECOVER command could not proceed because incremental backup sets or archive log backup sets exist on a device type that has not been allocated.
Action: Use the LIST command to determine which device type is needed, then allocate a channel of that type.
RMAN-06165 datafile string is too old to recover, restore a more recent copy
Cause: The archived logs and/or incremental backup sets required to recover the datafile do not exist, but a more recent backup of the datafile exists which can be recovered.
Action: Issue a RESTORE for the datafile, then reissue the RECOVER command.
RMAN-06166 datafile string cannot be recovered
Cause: Incremental backups or archived redo logs needed to recover the datafile cannot be found, and no recoverable full backup or datafile copy exists.
Action: Use the LIST command to see if there is a backup set or datafile copy that can be made AVAILABLE. If not, then the datafile is unrecoverable. If a full or datafile copy exists, then a point-in-time recovery may be possible.
RMAN-06167 already connected
Cause: A CONNECT command was issued, but RMAN is already connected to the specified database.
Action: RMAN has no DISCONNECT command, so to connect to a different instance, exit RMAN and start it again.
RMAN-06168 no backup pieces with this tag found: string
Cause: A tag was used to specify a list of backup pieces, but no backup pieces with this tag could be found.
Action: Make sure the tag is specified correctly.
RMAN-06169 could not read file header for datafile string error reason string
Cause: The specified datafile could not be accessed. The reason codes are:
Action: If the error can be corrected, do so and retry the operation. The SKIP option can be used to ignore this error during a backup.
RMAN-06170 no controlfile 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 one 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-06171 not connected to target database
Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the target database has been established.
Action: Issue a CONNECT TARGET command to connect to the target database.
RMAN-06172 not connected to recovery catalog database
Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the recovery catalog database has been established.
Action: Issue a CONNECT RCVCAT command to connect to the recovery catalog database. If you are not have a recovery catalog, then you must use the NOCATALOG option when starting RMAN.
RMAN-06173 no set newname command has been issued for datafile string when restore auxiliary
Cause: Auxiliary type was specified for the control file, but no SET NEWNAME command has been previously issued for a datafile.
Action: Issue SET NEWNAME command for every datafile in the recovery set.
RMAN-06174 not connected to auxiliary database
Cause: A auxiliary command was issued but no connection to an auxiliary database has been established.
Action: Issue a CONNECT AUXILIARY command to connect to the auxiliary database.
RMAN-06175 deleted script: string
Cause: A DELETE SCRIPT command was executed.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06176 no recovery required; all files are readonly or offline
Cause: A RECOVER DATABASE command does not need to recover any files because all of the files to be recovered are offline or read only. This can only occur when the SKIP clause includes the system tablespace. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06177 restore not done; all files readonly, offline, or already restored
Cause: A RESTORE command does not need to restore any files, because all of the files to be restored are offline, read only, or are already restored to their correct destinations. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06178 datafile number not processed because file is offline
Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is offline clean at the desired point in time. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06179 datafile number not processed because file is read only
Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is part of a read-only tablespace at the desired point in time. This is an informational message.
Action: No action required.
RMAN-06180 incremental backups require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition
Cause: A BACKUP command with LEVEL > 0 was specified.
Action: Use LEVEL=0.
RMAN-06181 multiple channels require Oracle8 Enterprise Edition
Cause: Attempt to allocate more than one channel in a job.
Action: Remove the ALLOCATE CHANNEL commands.
