Oracle Solution for Error ora-38742

ORA-38742: Flashback log file has incorrect log reset status.

What triggered the Error:

The flashback database log file header had log reset data that was different than the control file. The log was probably an incorrectly restored backup. Flashback database logs cannot be backed up.

What should we do to fix it:

If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed instead.
