| Error | ORA-00338 |
Description | log string of thread string is more recent than controlfile | Cause | The controlfile change sequence number in the log file is greater than the number in the controlfile. This implies that the wrong controlfile is being used. Note that repeatedly causing this error can make it stop happening without correcting the real problem. Every attempt to open the database will advance the controlfile change sequence number until it is great enough. | Action | Use the current controlfile or do backup controlfile recovery to make the controlfile current. Be sure to follow all restrictions on doing a backup controlfile recovery. |
