Oracle Error Message

ORA-38703: Type string in header is not a flashback database log file.

Reason for the Error

A corrupt flashback database log file header was read.

Solution

If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed instead.
