SOLUTION:

This is not an error but a warning. The reason for this is archive logfile which this process is trying to take backup,
is already been backed up by another process and file is deleted

This error is mostly because of 2 reasons.

1. Either 2 backups like one full backup and one archive log backup are running in parallel.
And if the archivelog backup job tried to take backup of the archives, which were backed up and deleted by the full back
job running at the same time, then this warning will come.

So never schedule two backups at the same time

2. Another reason might be because of few invalid or deleted records in control file.

To clean up invalid records, crosscheck the archive log:



RMAN> CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;

RMAN> DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;


It is recommended to use delete input option while backing up archivelog.


RMAN> backup archivelog until time 'sysdate -1' delete input;


If we want to take backup of all archivelogs, then:
——————————————————————

RMAN> backup archivelog all delete input ;
