There is a database upgraded from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 by using “Complete Checklist for Upgrading to Oracle Database 12c Release 1 using DBUA (Doc ID 1516557.1)”. For some reason, the DST upgrading was not complete successfully after the upgrading checking:

Current DST state is still “Upgrade”.

SQL>SELECT PROPERTY_NAME, SUBSTR(property_value, 1, 30) value
    FROM DATABASE_PROPERTIES
    WHERE PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'DST_%'
    ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME;

PROPERTY_NAME			    VALUE
----------------------------------- ------------------------------
DST_PRIMARY_TT_VERSION		    18
DST_SECONDARY_TT_VERSION	    14
DST_UPGRADE_STATE		    UPGRADE

Try to end the upgrading, still got issues.
