Cold backup failing

Description:
Cold backup failing. We've recently manually removed archive logs and the cold backup keeps failing.

Resolution:
In order to fix the cold backup problem please run the following RMAN command:

rman target aleph_dba/aleph_dba@$machinename.aleph1
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;

The crosscheck process ensures that data about backup is synchronized with actual files. It physically checks and updates the control file for the next run.

The crosscheck command is mentioned in the very end of the Backup Package documentation.
