Re: restore archivelog all validate; gives RMAN-06025

"Crosscheck archivelog all" does sync the catalog. You will probably see that they are deleted when you do a list. RMAN is asking for them, because you are specifically asking them to be restored. By the way, 1-38 are really low sequence numbers for archived logs. Is this a new database, or is it recreated often?

I'd suggest that you in the meantime try to manually restore the archived logs with decreasing periods. At least you should be able to sucessfully

     restore archivelog from time 'sysdate - 6';

Cheers,
Tony

RMAN retains only as many backups as necessary to restore the *database* to up to 7 days ago, and in your script you create a new level 0 backup. The backups of more than 14 days ago will have been deleted, as you run this weekly, so the oldest archived logs in a 14 * 24 hour period could be gone - it looks a bit like a race condition really.
