ORA-45906: moving instantly restored data file string is not supported
ORA-45906 is an Oracle Database error, which indicates that the operation attempted to move a restored data file in an instantly restored file, which is not supported. Instant restores are a feature of Oracle Data Guard and Oracle Database Appliance, which allow a primary or standby database instance to be quickly returned to a recent point-in-time in case of incident or disaster recovery.
This error code may arise when attempting to move a data file that has been instantly restored outside of an Oracle Data Guard or Database Appliance environment. This can occur when a user has attempted to restore an individual data file from online backups, then attempting to modify the path of this file.
If this error arises, the only way to correct the error is to move the database files to their intended locations outside of the instance and re-restore the data or recreate the file. Another way to deal with this issue is to contact Oracle Support and inquire about the possibility of implementing instant restore in a non-Data Guard or Database Appliance environment.
