ORA-279 signalled during: alter database recover logfile

在RMAN的RECOVER还原过程中，RMAN界面正常，但是检查、刷新告警日志，发现告警日志里面有ORA-279，如下所示：

其实这个场景下，告警日志中ORA-279更像是 “ 输出消息 ” ， 而不是 “ 错误信息 ” ，它是在提示需要请求的归档日志才能继续恢复。以前在使用RMAN进行RECOVER时没有留意过这个细节信息。顺便记录一下。以免初次遇到这个提示信息的时候，还以为出现了什么异常或错误。

[root@DB-Server 2019_02_16]$ oerr ora 279

00279, 00000, "change %s generated at %s needed for thread %s"

// *Cause: The requested log is required to proceed with recovery.

// *Action: Please supply the requested log with "ALTER DATABASE RECOVER

// LOGFILE <file_name>" or cancel recovery with "ALTER DATABASE

// RECOVER CANCEL".

Yes, you can ignore the ORA-279s. Treat them as "messages" rather then "errors".

You need to ensure that all archivelogs are being applied by the recovery process.
