Description

If a repl dump command is run and it fails for some reason while doing table level dumps, the state set on the db parameters is not reset and hence no table / partition renames can be done.

the property to be reset is prefixed with key

bootstrap.dump.state 

and it should be unset. meanwhile the workaround is

describe database extended [db_name]; 

assuming property is 'bootstrap.dump.state.something'

alter  database [db_name] set dbproperties ('bootstrap.dump.state.something'='idle');"
