Re: RMAN error - archived log not found

DJ,

You've got the right idea. The "change archivelog all validate" command will cause rman to validate all archived redo logs found on disk.

I use the code snippet below for the same purpose:

run {

    # Update catalog to current state
    resync catalog;

    # Validate archived redo log files on disk     change archivelog all validate;
}
