Oracle Error Description
RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability
Reason for the Error RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability
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.
How to fix the Error RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, loss of archived log compromises recoverability ?
You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps
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.
