expdp no compression with compress=true

-
This is a result of silly mistake where legacy exp syntax is used with expdp. The issue here is when expdp with executed with exp parameters it runs with expdp conversion where applicable or ignore the legacy syntax.

In this particular scenario expdp was called with indexes=n compress=y parameter for table export. Now the expdp has converted indexes=n to exclude=index but has ignored compress=y, most probably since expdp compression has three options (none, meta_data, all). This is recorded in expdp log as below.
Legacy Mode Active due to the following parameters:
Legacy Mode Parameter: "compress=TRUE" Location: Command Line, ignored.
Legacy Mode Parameter: "indexes=FALSE" Location: Command Line, Replaced with: "exclude=index"
Legacy Mode has set reuse_dumpfiles=true parameter.
Starting "DBA00000"."SYS_EXPORT_TABLE_01":

Although this situation is due to a syntax error, it is not clear at a first glance since we are under the impression that we have enabled compression.

ORA-16433: The database or pluggable database must be opened in read/write

-

ORA-16433 is an error returned when a database cannot be opened. This can be a result of multiple conditions including, The inconsistency of the database Physical corruption Loss of dependent files or access issues etc.. More often than not the solution is to recover from available backups, but there can be situations where backups are not available, specially on UAT or Test setups. Although not the ideal scenario, in this type of situation you might want to open the databases even with inconsistency.  In Comes --> _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION First, if you are in a position to use _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE, that means it has to be a critical moment, and when you come across more ora- errors while you are trying to reopen the databsae, that can be annoying. Note - _ALLOW_RESETLOGS_CORRUPTION=TRUE must only be used after Oracle support confirmation as a last resort. Also make sure to take cold backup before proceeding. Basic steps to be followed to resolve ORA 16433 after

Wait for unread message on broadcast channel - Blocking Sessions

What is Wait for unread message on broadcast channel wait event? Wait for unread message on broadcast channel is a wait event where source destination communication is involved and the database is waiting for a reply from remote party. Mostly this wait is seen related to data pump export (expdp) or import (impdp) operations. Although categorized in idle wait class "Wait for unread message on broadcast channel" can become the blocking session for some other sessions. Common causes for stuck sessions waiting on this wait event includes, Broken databases links, where remote database is not responding. Abnormally killed remote processes causing the sessions to wait. When a session is waiting on "Wait for unread message on broadcast channel" it can become a blocking session for dependent sessions. Most probably these sessions will be waiting on "library cache pin" or related concurrency wait events. The blocking_session column of (g)v$session view

ORA-14126 - While splitting max value partition

Oracle version -- Oracle 9i to 11g While splitting partitions, SQL> alter TABLE ARBOR.CDR_BILLED split PARTITION CDR_BILLED_MAXVALUE at (TO_DATE('2014-09-01 00:00:00', 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')) into (partition CDR_BILLED_01SEP14,partition CDR_BILLED_MAXVALUE) TABLESPACE "C01_CDR_BILL" update global indexes; 2 into (partition CDR_BILLED_01SEP14,partition CDR_BILLED_MAXVALUE) TABLESPACE "C01_CDR_BILL" update global indexes * ERROR at line 2: ORA-14126: only a <parallel clause> may follow description(s) of resulting partitions 4:58:56 PM The reason for above error is while splitting max value partition, it is not allowed to explicitly provide a tablespace. The splitted partition will be reside on the same tablespace as the max value partitions. Below can be used without the tablespace clause to split the max value partition, alter TABLE ARBOR.CDR_BILLED split PARTITION CDR_BILLED_
