ORA-19722: datafile is an incorrect version - Oracle Database

ORA-19722: datafile is an incorrect version | ORA-39123: Data Pump transportable tablespace job aborted

ORA-19722: datafile is an incorrect version

ORA-19722 indicates the mismatch of the datafile version on the basis of SCN value. I got this when trying to transport the tablespace from one database to another database. Read my post regarding Transporting the tablespace between databases to get to know more about the process. See below the step I was performing when I got the error:

C:\Users\parain>impdp directory=DB_DUMP dumpfile=TRANS_TAB.DMP logfile=impTRANSTAB.log transport_datafiles=

Resolution:

The reason I got the error was I copied the datafile after I put the tablespace back in READ WRITE mode. Since the EXPDP backup was taken when the tablespace was in READ ONLY mode, the datafile was also meant to be copied at the same time. Make sure you are not making the same mistake if you are getting this error.

I hope this helps !!
