ORA-19755 error using block change tracking file.

While restoring and recovering a database UNTIL TIME which uses the block change tracking file, the recovery may be interrupted.

This was the error –

released channel: ch1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

Additional information: 3

This file is not backed up by RMAN and not needed for recovery – it is purely used by RMAN for speeding up the incremental backups.

Therefore to workaround this problem simply disable block_change_tracking and restart the recovery .

sql > alter database disable block change tracking ;

RESTART THE RECOVERY UNTIL TIME –

RMAN> run {
SET UNTIL TIME “TO_DATE (’09-02-09 18:00:00′, ‘DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS’)”;
allocate channel ch1 type ‘sbt_tape’ parms ‘ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/oracle/bin64/tdpo.opt)’;
recover database;
release channel ch1 ;
}
executing command: SET until clause

allocated channel: ch1
channel ch1: sid=310 devtype=SBT_TAPE
channel ch1: Data Protection for Oracle: version 5.4.1.0
