Oracle Message ORA-16008 - indeterminate control file checkpoint

ERRORindeterminate control file checkpoint
CAUSEThe control file for the database being opened for read-only access was created via CREATE CONTROLFILE. Therefore a control file checkpoint could not be calculated and the database cannot be opened for read-only access.
ACTIONFirst open the database for read-write access which will result in valid control file checkpoint. Then re-open the database for read-only access.
