Is the tablespace in backup mode?

Hi DBA Gurus,

Does anyone know why checkpoint scn does not write to datafile header in the following scenario?

Parameter log_checkpoint_timeout = 1200

  • Incremental checkpoints show in alert.log:

Wed Jan 13 13:47:43 2010
Incremental checkpoint up to RBA [0x79e.1cacf6.0], current log tail at RBA [0x79e.1cb16a.0] Wed Jan 13 14:07:43 2010
Incremental checkpoint up to RBA [0x79e.1cc865.0], current log tail at RBA [0x79e.1ccd64.0] Wed Jan 13 14:27:47 2010
Incremental checkpoint up to RBA [0x79e.1ceb74.0], current log tail at RBA [0x79e.1d0193.0] Wed Jan 13 14:47:47 2010
Incremental checkpoint up to RBA [0x79e.1d101b.0], current log tail at RBA [0x79e.1d12e2.0]

  • CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# has not been updated in v$datafile_header view, it stays with yesterdays check point info:

SQL> select distinct CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#, CHECKPOINT_TIME from v$datafile_header;

CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# CHECKPOINT_TIME
