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.

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.
