Recommending that a full backup be performed. The backup runs and completes successfully despite the warning message reported in the policy log or NMC Workflow shows message.This message appears when the backup action is configured to use Incr, log, or archive backup levels.Oracle policy log example: Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 13 %-58s started 1 0 31 Oracle-Client:savefs Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 2 %s 1 0 127 savefs -s networker -c Oracle-Client -g Oracle-Client_LOG -p -l full -R -v -F "RMAN:\\DB_INCREMENTAL" Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 8 %s:%-*s 3 12 24 Oracle-Client 1 2 12 51 22 RMAN:\DB_INCREMENTAL Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 23 level=%s, vers=%s, p=%d 3 0 4 full 0 5 pools 1 1 4 Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 49 The job '%s' on the host '%s' has been completed. 2 20 31 Oracle-Client:savefs 12 24 Oracle-Client Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 9 %s:%s %s. 3 12 24 Oracle-Client 51 6 savefs 0 9 succeeded Oracle-Client savegrp NSR notice 107 %s:%s The job has successfully scanned the file system on the host '%s'.

Cause

The backup level is set to INCR, log, or archive in the backup action. However, the backup level is determined in the Oracle RMAN script.

Resolution

This message can be ignored, or set the backup action to level FULL: Figure 1: Policy Action Wizard-Specify the Action Information
