RMAN-06118: a backup controlfile older than SCN string must
be used for this recovery



RMAN-06118: a backup controlfile older than SCN string must be used for this recovery..

Answer / guest

Cause: An attempt was made to recover the database, but some
files had no backup, and were not present in the control
file at the beginning of the restore. This happens when the
control file used during the recovery is a backup control
file taken before the creation of some of the files that had
no backup. In this situation, the control file that is used
must be taken before the creation of all files that have no
backup. This will enable RMAN to automatically re-create all
of the files that had no backup.

Action: Restore a controlfile that was backed up before the
specified SCN. The following RMAN commands can be used to do
this: SET UNTIL SCN <x>;(where <x> is the SCN displayed in
the message) RESTORE CONTROLFILE;
