在RMAN的RECOVER還原過程中，RMAN界面正常，但是檢查、刷新告警日志，發現告警日志里面有ORA-279，如下所示：

其實這個場景下，告警日志中ORA-279更像是“輸出消息”， 而不是“錯誤信息”，它是在提示需要請求的歸檔日志才能繼續恢復。以前在使用RMAN進行RECOVER時沒有留意過這個細節信息。順便記錄一下。以免初次遇到這個提示信息的時候，還以為出現了什么異常或錯誤。
[root@DB-Server 2019_02_16]$ oerr ora 279
00279, 00000, "change %s generated at %s needed for thread %s"
// *Cause: The requested log is required to proceed with recovery.
// *Action: Please supply the requested log with "ALTER DATABASE RECOVER
// LOGFILE <file_name>" or cancel recovery with "ALTER DATABASE
// RECOVER CANCEL".
Yes, you can ignore the ORA-279s. Treat them as "messages" rather then "errors".
You need to ensure that all archivelogs are being applied by the recovery process.
