Database Service Agent Issues Your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database makes use of an agent framework to allow you to manage your database through the cloud platform. Occasionally you might need to restart the dcsagent program if it has the status of stop/waiting to resolve a backup failure. Object Store Connectivity Issues Backing up your database to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage requires that the host can connect to the applicable Swift endpoint. You can test this connectivity by using a Swift user. Host Issues One or more of the following conditions on the database host can cause backups to fail:
-Interactive Commands in the Oracle Profile
-The File System Is Full

-Changes to the Site Profile File (glogin.sql)

As this is not new provisioned database and already in the ARCHIVELOG , regular backups of DB system
to OCI object storage in places, so the best answers are,
