We have the same issue for only one of our many databases that we have applied the same patch to. All of the databases that have been cloned to other environments also have this same issue. I have opened an SR with Oracle and the best they can tell me is that it is a bug. I would definitely like to know if you find a solution. If I find one, I’ll post it as well.

Somehow I have two records in V$ENCRYPTION_KEYS

I just checked the alert log during startup and noticed this. I have not restores any encrypted tablespaces nor has it been flashbacked.

ALTER DATABASE OPEN detects that an encrypted tablespace has been restored but the database key has not been activated, or the database has been flashback'ed prior to first set key of the master key (pdb 0). Database is open in RESTRICTED MODE only. Please select the latest master key from V$ENCRYPTION_KEYS and execute ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT USE KEY <key_id> command, and restart the database

When you configure the instance to be managed by HAS or CRS, you can set the open mode under the startup options. If it happens all the time, it suggests to me that restrict was added to the startup options.

Are you just using sqlplus to start? If not, try sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
and see how it starts

We just noticed that since applying patch 19.11 our database automatically starts in restricted mode even when issuing just a STARTUP and not specifying restricted.

Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? I am able to replicate it in a clone of the production database.

We think this contributed to some errors we got during 19.11 patch which required us to run it twice. We checked with Oracle support on the patching issues and they said everything was fine.
