The ORA-14511 error is related with the Partitioned table moving.

If your table is partitioned, then you need to move partitions.

To solve this error, you should move the partitions of table as follows.

 

alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P1 parallel 32;

 

 

cannot perform operation on a partitioned object

You can generate for all partitions movins using the following scripts.

select 'alter table '||table_owner||'.'||table_name||' MOVE PARTITION '||partition_name||' parallel 32;' from dba_tab_partitions where table_name='TEST_TABLE' and table_owner='MSDBA';

 

When you Run the above code, it will generate the following scripts, execute the following scripts to solve problem.

alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P1 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P2 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P3 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P4 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P5 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P6 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P7 parallel 32;
alter table MSDBA.TEST_TABLE move partition P8 parallel 32;

 

If you are moving the partition different tablespace, then you can use the following scripts.

select 'ALTER TABLE '||TABLE_OWNER ||'.'||table_name||' MOVE PARTITION '||partition_name||' TABLESPACE NEW_TABLESPACE_NAME UPDATE INDEXES;'
from dba_tab_partitions where TABLESPACE_NAME = 'OLD_TABLESPACE_NAME';
