Reason for the Error ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace ‘string’

Tried to use the system rollback segment for operations involving non-system tablespace. If this is a clone database then this will happen when attempting any data modification outside of the system tablespace. Only the system rollback segment can be online in a clone database.

How to fix the Error ORA-01552: cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace ‘string’ ?

You can fix this error in Oracle by following the below steps

Create one or more private/public segment(s), shutdown and then startup again. May need to modify the INIT.ORA parameter rollback_segments to acquire private rollback segment. If this is a clone database being used for tablspace point in time recovery then this operation is not allowed. If the non-system tablespace has AUTO segment space management, then create an undo tablespace.
