Multitenant : PDB Cloning [remote and Non-CDB] 12c (12.1.0.2)

Multitenant : PDB Clone a Remote PDB or Non-CDB in Oracle Database

From Oracle 12.1.0.1 was it possible to de cloning of PDB's in a local Container database. Since version 12.1.0.2 Oracle has extended this functionality to remote PDB cloning. Cloning between two separted on-premises Oracle databases 12c non-CDBs as PDBs to an on-premises Oracle Database 12c container database. This method works also on Oracle Database 12c DBaaS database - Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS). An 12c RDBMS migration from On-Premise to Premise and back.



The user in the local database must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE privilege in the root container. The remote database (PDB or non-CDB) must be open in read-only mode. The local database must have a database link to the remote database. If the remote database is a PDB, the database link can point to the remote CDB using a common user, or the PDB using a local or common user.

The user in the remote database, that the database link connects to, must have the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE privilege. The local and remote databases must have the same endianness, options installed and character sets. When cloning from a non-CDB, both the the local and remote databases must using version 12.1.0.2 or higher.

Purpose
In this blog I describe the steps for cloning method to migrate on-premises Oracle Database 12c non-CDBs or PDBs to an remote on-premises Oracle Database 12c database.

Introduction
In this blog I describe the steps for remote cloning method to migrate on-premises Oracle Database 12c non-CDBs or PDBs to an on-premises Oracle Database 12c database.

Prerequisites

  • Have a container database operational without PDBs DB name = joords01
  • Have a non-CDB database 12c operational db name = joords02
  • Have a container database operational with a PDB db name = cdb1
For remote Cloning to a Premise solutions:
  • Oracle Database Cloud Service (DBCS), it may be helpful to have followed the Signing Up for a Database Cloud Service, Connecting to a Database Cloud Service (DBaaS) Instance Through an SSH Tunnel and Creating a Database Cloud Service (DBaaS) Instance tutorials.

Cloning a Remote Non-CDB in Oracle Database (12.1.0.2)

The steps are the same as for PDB's. Only this action has one additional action. This action needs a conversion of a non-CDB to PDB. The PDB plugged in is a non-CDB, requires noncdb_to_pdb.sql be run. Run noncdb_to_pdb.sql.
