Oracle Error ORA-38704: Checksum error in flashback database log file header.

Oracle Error Message

ORA-38704: Checksum error in flashback database log file header.

Reason for the Error

The flashback database log file header contained a checksum that does not match the value calculated from the file header as read from disk. This means the file header was corrupt.

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.
