Well, I got the following back form OTS this morning:  

There are several other customers who has encountered this error. Please follow the steps I have given you earlier to fix this error.

Here they are again:

  1. Take a good copy of the archived log in question.
  2. FTP the file over to standby site in binary mode.
  3. Register the logfile on standby.
  4. Allow the recovery to continue again.

If this does not help then the only other way is to rebuild your standby using a good backup copy of primary.

And I thought I was nuts. Okay, guess that depends on who you ask, but I've had something similar. I get an ORA-308 Error locating archivelog filename then, because I know it's there, when I try to register it I get an ORA-16089 Archive log already registered! I've done something similar, I delete the file, ftp it over but with the same name, then cancel and restart the managed recovery process. Haven't had the file header issue though.

This is Oracle 9.2.0.7 on AIX 5.3

All,  

            I'm seeing this strange intermittent happening with Data Guard that I can't explain & it seems that OTS can't either. About once a month, or less, I end up with a gap at the standby location, but the log file is there. I'll then try registering it and catch an "ORA-00317: file type 0 in header is not log file" error. I'll then remove the file & let the fetch archive log process do its thing only to see the gap still there 30 minutes later, same file & once again it's on the standby. Again I'll try to register it & get the same error again. But if I binary ftp the file to the log_archive_dest_1 location but with a slightly modified file name, .dbf0 instead of .dbf, & register it with the modified file name it works as advertised. Can't understand the initial error. Anyone else ever see this behavior???
