ORA-16173: incompatible archival network connections active

ORA-16173: incompatible archival network connections active


Cause:


One of two situations can cause this error: 1) An attempt to start a Terminal Incomplete Recovery operation failed due to an active Remote File Server process detected. 2) An attempt to archive a Terminal End-Of-Redo archive log to a remote destination failed due to an active Remote File Server process at the remote site. An active Remote File Server (RFS) process implies connectivity with the primary database which may indicate that a Terminal Incomplete Recovery operation is not warrented.



Action:


Verify the Managed Standby environment and re-evaluate the necessity of a Terminal Incomplete Recovery operation.
