ORA-65036: pluggable database PDB$SEED not open in required mode

-
ORA-65036 can be returned when creating a PDB using the DBCA or the command line (SQLPLUS).
Background is when creating a PDB Oracle depends on PDB$SEED to get the required template for the new PDB. If the PDB$SEED is not in ‘read only’ or ‘read write’ mode ora-65036 can be returned.



Below is an example where error is returned with mounted state PDB$SEED,
 SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb2 ADMIN USER pdb_adm IDENTIFIED BY Password1 CREATE_FILE_DEST='+DATA';  
 CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb2 ADMIN USER pdb_adm IDENTIFIED BY Password1 CREATE_FILE_DEST='+DATA'  
 *  
 ERROR at line 1:  
 ORA-65036: pluggable database PDB$SEED not open in required mode  
 SQL> show pdbs;  
   CON_ID CON_NAME            OPEN MODE RESTRICTED

      2 PDB$SEED            MOUNTED  
      3 ORCLPDB            READ WRITE NO  
 SQL>  
 SQL> alter pluggable database PDB$SEED open;  
 Pluggable database altered.  
 SQL> show pdbs;  
   CON_ID CON_NAME            OPEN MODE RESTRICTED  
 ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------  
      2 PDB$SEED            READ WRITE NO  
      3 ORCLPDB            READ WRITE NO  
 SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb2 ADMIN USER pdb_adm IDENTIFIED BY Password1 CREATE_FILE_DEST='+DATA';  
 Pluggable database created.  
 SQL> alter pluggable database PDB$SEED close;  
 Pluggable database altered.  
 SQL> alter pluggable database PDB$SEED open read only;  
 Pluggable database altered.  
 SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb3 ADMIN USER pdb_adm IDENTIFIED BY Password1 CREATE_FILE_DEST='+DATA';  
 Pluggable database created.  
 SQL> show pdbs;  
   CON_ID CON_NAME            OPEN MODE RESTRICTED  
 ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------  
      2 PDB$SEED            READ ONLY NO  
      3 ORCLPDB            READ WRITE NO  
      5 PDB2              MOUNTED  
      7 PDB3              MOUNTED  
 SQL> alter pluggable database PDB$SEED close;  
 Pluggable database altered.  
 SQL> alter pluggable database PDB$SEED open restricted;  
 Pluggable database altered.  
 SQL> show pdbs;  
   CON_ID CON_NAME            OPEN MODE RESTRICTED  
 ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ----------  
      2 PDB$SEED            READ WRITE YES  
      3 ORCLPDB            READ WRITE NO  
      5 PDB2              MOUNTED  
      7 PDB3              MOUNTED  
 SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE pdb4 ADMIN USER pdb_adm IDENTIFIED BY Password1 CREATE_FILE_DEST='+DATA';  
 Pluggable database created.  
 SQL>

Also PDB creation is succeeds even with restricted PDB$SEED with open mode is either ‘read write’ or ‘read only’.

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

-
Image
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 af...

Oracle Multitenant - Create new service for PDB using DBMS_SERVICE

-
Image
When an Oracle PDB is created it starts up a default service with the PDB name. For direct connections to    PDB this service can be used. But there are situations where new service name is required in PDB level, common example is after a PDB restoration/clone, in order to enable application connections without changes in connection string. Setting service_names parameter in PDB level is not possible hence it is not an option in multitenant setup. How to create a new PDB service on Oracle 12C Check the current services, here only the default service is running, SQL> show pdbs; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 3 NFACTORPDB READ WRITE NO SQL> select service_id, name, pdb from dba_Services; SERVICE_ID NAME PDB ---------- ---------------------------------------- ---------- 7 nfactorpdb NFACTORPDB SQL> ...

Wait for unread message on broadcast channel - Blocking Sessions

-
Image
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...
