ORA-65138

Data file string of pluggable database string with creation timestamp string does not belong to PDB incarnation string, or any of its ancestors.

Cause

Either the specified data file was restored from a backup that was taken during a period of time that was discarded by a RESETLOGS operation, or Oracle could not identify which pluggable database incarnation the file belongs to. One would also encounter this error if a pluggable database (PDB) flashback or restore was performed to an orphan PDB incarnation followed by complete recovery of the PDB. The alert log contains more information.


Action

Restore a backup of this file that belonged to either the current or a prior incarnation of the pluggable database. If you are using RMAN to restore, RMAN will automatically select a correct backup. If you are using Flashback, then perform flashback to a point prior to the start of the orphan incarnation.
