PDB relocate using "AVAILABILITY MAX" clause
A PDB relocation executes an online block level copy of the source PDB data files, redo, and undo while the source PDB is open with active sessions. When the target PDB comes online because of an ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE OPEN statement, Oracle Database terminates the active sessions and closes the source PDB. The AVAILABILITY MAX clause in CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE ... RELOCATE implicitly instructs the SQL*Net layer to reconfigure the original listener. This situation may be common when relocating a PDB between data centers. This configuration is intended to be temporary while the Oracle Internet Directory (OID) or LDAP server is updated or the client connections are modified. Overview image Relocate PDB
