Oracle Error Message

ORA-38776: cannot begin flashback generation – recovery area is disabled

Reason for the Error

During a database mount, the RVWR process discovered that the recovery area was disabled. DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST must have been set null or removed from the INIT.ORA file while the database was unmounted.

Solution

Flashback database requires the recovery area to be enabled. Either enable the recovery area by setting the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST and DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE initialization parameters, or turn off flashback database with the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK OFF command.
