ORA-00392: Log 7 Of Thread 1 Is Being Cleared, Operation Not Allowed

PROBLEM:


While cloning a database from rman backup . After completion of cloning, when I did RESETLOG it failed with ORA-00392 error.

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of sql statement command at 06/25/2017 16:05:27
ORA-00392: log 7 of thread 1 is being cleared, operation not allowed
ORA-00312: online log 7 thread 1: ‘/archive/CLONEDB/redo7a.log’
ORA-00312: online log 7 thread 1: ‘/archive/CLONEDB/redo7b.log’

SOLUTION:

First, check the status of REDO LOGS

RMAN> select group#,thread#,status from v$log;

    GROUP#    THREAD# STATUS
---------- ---------- ----------------
         5          1 CLEARING
         6          1 CLEARING
         7          1 CLEARING_CURRENT   ---------->>>
         8          1 CLEARING
         9          2 CLEARING_CURRENT   --------->>>>>
        10          2 CLEARING
        11          2 CLEARING
        12          2 CLEARING


Group 7 and 9 have status CLEARING_CURRENT. So clear them manually.

RMAN> alter database clear logfile group 7;

Statement processed

RMAN> alter database clear logfile group 9;

Statement processed

RMAN> select group#,thread#,status from v$log;

    GROUP#    THREAD# STATUS
---------- ---------- ----------------
         5          1 CLEARING
         6          1 CLEARING
         7          1 CURRENT
         8          1 CLEARING
         9          2 CURRENT
        10          2 CLEARING
        11          2 CLEARING
        12          2 CLEARING

8 rows selected


 Now no group is in clearing_current mode. Lets do resetlog again.



RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

Database altered
