Summary :
This SAP Note addresses errors related to Oracle redo log corruption, highlighting the lack of support for repairing such inconsistencies which are typically triggered by hardware issues. The note explains scenarios where recovery of archiving operations fail due to these errors, leading to transaction inconsistencies or the inability to perform complete recoveries. Solution strategies include checking for successful recovery of online and offline redo logs, using alternative backups, avoiding deprecated practices, and ensuring double-copy archiving. It also recommends validating redo log consistency using RMAN and provides specific guides on managing various error scenarios such as ORA-00600 [3020] and addressing potential data file corruption.
