| ERROR | recovery target incarnation changed during recovery |
| CAUSE | While a media recovery was active, a new incarnation was detected by the server due to inspection or cataloging of archived logs or backup files. |
| ACTION | If you want recovery to use the new incarnation, restart recovery. This is the most common action on a standby database when RESETLOGS is done in primary. If you do not want recovery to use the new incarnation, change the recovery destination using RMANs RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION |
