🔍

Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Incorrect Encryption Wallet
The encryption wallet containing the master key is either missing, corrupted, or not accessible to the database instance. This prevents the database from decrypting the tablespace.
⚠️
Wallet Sharing Issues
The encryption wallet is incorrectly shared between multiple databases. Each database should have its own unique wallet or a properly configured shared wallet setup.
⚠️
Corrupted Tablespace Key
The tablespace encryption key itself has been corrupted or altered, making it unusable for decryption.
