ORA-01621: cannot rename member of current log if database is open

ORA-01621: cannot rename member of current log if database is open




Cause: This is a rename command for a member of the current log for an open thread. If the database is open anywhere, the log may be in use, so the rename cannot be done.




Action: Wait until the log is not current, or mount the database exclusively.
