Hello, 

an incremental oracle backupjob was but at the job details (events) I see the following event: 

 

Backup job [xxxxxxx] has been converted to a full (code 38).

I looked at the jobmanger log, taskmanger.log on commserve and oracleagent.log on client but I don’t fine why the incremental job is converted to a full backupjob. 

Maybe someone can tell me what (code 38) exaclly means? 

A backup is done every day the last full backupjob was from yesterday. 

regards Roland

Hi ​@Roland 

 

Is it for RAC or standalone DB client?

Was the last full successful?

Are you taking same DB backup between full and incr. with any other tool/method?

Was there any change in CV config/Db config. after last full backup?

 

Can you check and share RMAN log from affected backup job?
