ORACLE 11gSCRAMBLE database - ORACLE

Resolution

The error messages do not specify an exact error other than it is broken.  From the example, the data used is a know set of data.  It can be assumed that the data is valid based upon the continual validation with each release.  This points to the SCRAMBLE database itself, and the installation of that database.  It is important to review the following to ensure the proper version was specified:

Exporting and Importing Between Different Database Releases:

Data Pump can be used to migrate all or any portion of a database between different releases of the database software. The Data Pump Export VERSION parameter is typically used to do this. This will generate a Data Pump dump file set compatible with the specified version. 

The default value for VERSION is COMPATIBLE, indicating that exported database object definitions will be compatible with the release specified for the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter. 

In an upgrade situation, when the target release of a Data Pump-based migration is higher than the source, the VERSION parameter typically does not have to be specified because all objects in the source database will be compatible with the higher target release. An exception is when an entire Oracle Database 11g (release 11.2.0.3 or higher) is exported in preparation for importing into Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1) or later. In this case, explicitly specify VERSION=12 in conjunction with FULL=YES in order to include a complete set of Oracle internal component metadata.

In this case with the error message presented, a re-install was done, the correct version was selected, and a successful end usage resulted.
