Switching Over A Refreshable Clone PDB

This document discusses switching over to a refreshable clone pluggable database (PDB). It describes how to: 1. Create a database link between the source PDB and refreshable clone PDB. 2. Alter the source PDB to switch roles with the clone PDB using the refresh_mode from clause and specifying the database link. 3. This reverses the source and clone PDB roles, with the clone PDB becoming the new primary and the source PDB becoming refreshable. The process provides a level of data protection, but personal opinion is it should not be used solely for protection.

About Switching over to a Refreshable
Clone PDB
• The process of reversing the roles between a source PDB
and its associated refreshable clone PDB
• Could be considered as a level of data protection
– Personal opinion: do not use it for protection
• When tried on a 19.8:
ORA-17628: Oracle error 65016 returned by remote Oracle server
ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified

Switching over to a Refreshable Clone PDB

1. From the source PDB system, create a database link to


the CDB that hosts the refreshable PDB :
CREATE DATABASE LINK CDB2_LINK CONNECT TO c##ruser IDENTIFIED
BY *** USING 'CDB2';

Note: If the source PDB and clone PDB are in separate CDBs,
then the user specified in the database link must have the
same name and password in the source PDB and clone PDB

2. From the source PDB system, issue the command:


ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE <pdb name> <refresh_mode>
FROM refresh_pdb@dblink SWITCHOVER;
