How to do next step?
TaohikoHi Taohiko
Have you made backup of all archived redo log files? If so, why this one was disappeared?
Have you applied all archived redo log files before that required archived redo log file?
Please try to recover the database using the following command:
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE;
RMAN> RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL SEQUENCE 29166;
RMAN>ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
