Oracle Error Message

RMAN-05062: image copy needs no roll forward

Reason for the Error

The image copy that would be rolled forward by the RECOVER COPY command is already more recent than the specified UNTIL time or system change number (SCN).

Solution

Usually this is the result of a recent OPEN RESETLOGS operation, and no action is needed, because the daily backup strategy will start rolling this copy forward after it becomes old enough to be eligible for rolling forward. To force the copy to be rolled forward, specify a more recent UNTIL time or system change number (SCN).
