RMAN Duplicate Failed - ORA - 38862: Flashback database logs are in use.
Problem Statement: While doing a RMAN based duplication for database running on version 19.10 encountered a strange error " ORA - 38862: Flashback database logs are in use ". Though at first instance one would think about why would the database be using flashback logs as it's a RMAN based restore. Error Stack: RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script RMAN-03009: failure of sql command on clone_default channel at <timestamp> RMAN-11003: failure during parse/execution of SQL statement: alter database flashback off ORA - 38862: Flashback database logs are in use Command: run { allocate auxiliary channel ch1 device type disk; allocate auxiliary channel ch1 device type disk; allocate auxiliary channel ch1 device type disk; allocate auxiliary channel ch1 device type disk; duplicate database <source db
