Symptoms

Opening a newly plugged-in PDB in a standby database running active dataguard can return ORA-65011 despite the fact that it was plugged in and opened in the primary with no errors. The ‘show pdbs’ command in the standby will list the new PDB, but will not allow it to open. This occurs despite TDE tablespaces, RAC (Real Application Cluster) and/or ASM (Automatic Storage Management).

For the purposes of this document, the following fictitious environment is used as an example to describe the procedure:

Database Name: ORCL2, ORCLA2

Pluggable Database Names: PDB1, PLUGIN_PDB

Disk Group Name: +DATA

Performed a PDB plugin at Primary site without placing datafiles in appropriate ways at Standby site.
