In 12c
container database we can unplug a PDB from its root container and can plug
it back into the same/different CDB according to the requirement.In case if you
are pluging into a differnet CDB on a
remote machine you may use SOURCE_FILE_NAME_CONVERT
parameter while creating the PDB. This time I’ll show how to plug a Pluggable
Database (PDB) into another Container Database (CDB) within the same host.
In this
demonstration PDB1 is my source PDB within the CDB – TDCDB, I will plug this
PDB into a different CDB named MYCDB1 within the same machine.
Login
to source PDB and create some ojects

Close and unplug the source PDB
Before
attempting to unplug a PDB, you must make sure it is closed. To unplug the
database use the ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE command with the UNPLUG INTO clause
to specify the location of the XML metadata file.

Pre-requisites
for plugin to a remote CDB
·
The
Target CDB must have the same endianness as source CDB.
·
The
CDB must have the same set of options installed.
·
The
source CDB and the target CDB must have compatible character sets and national
character sets.

I am using OMF, so I don’t have to use file_name_convert clause while creating
new PDB. If you want to configure a new OMF path for PDBs while creating PDBs use
the create_file_dest parameter,other wise it will inherit
the value(of OMF) from the root container.

We can
use different methods while cloning-
COPY: Specify COPY if you want the files listed in the XML file to
be copied to the new location and used for the new PDB. This is the default and
should be useful if you are cloning the new PDB in the same host.
NOCOPY: If you do not want Oracle to copy the files and would like to
have the current location of data files of source PDB as the location for the
new PDB, then make use of this option. Normally we may use this option after
droping a pdb while keeping its datafiles like,
SQL>drop pluggable database pdb1 keep datafiles;
MOVE: Specify MOVE if you want the files listed in the XML file to
be moved, rather than copied, to the new location and used for the new PDB.
FILE_NAME_CONVERT=When using a copy clause, you need
to specify the source and destination file location and this can be done using
the FILE_NAME_CONVERT clause.
AS CLONE:Specify this clause only if the target CDB already contains a
PDB that was created using the same set of data files. The source files remain
as an unplugged PDB and can be used again. Specifying AS CLONE also ensures
that Oracle Database generates new identifiers, such as DBID and GUID, for the
new PDB.
SOURCE_FILE_NAME_CONVERT: If the location of the datafiles
in the XML are different from that what you have for the source files, then
this caluse is to be used. Let’s say that you have the source PDB on host1 and
it’sdatafiles are at location “/u01/sourcePDB/” and the same is recorded in the
XML file. On the target server, you copy these files manually to say
“/u03/targetPDB”. But when you use the XML file to create the PDB, the location
of the files in the XML do not match or are not accurate as the files still
point to location “/u01/sourcePDB/”. In such cases, you can use the
SOURCE_FILE_NAME_CONVERT clause which is used mainly for the source PDB files
if the XML file does not describe the exact current location of the source PDB
files.For example,
SQL> create pluggable database CLONEPDB
using '/tmp/pdb1.xml’
source_file_name_convert=('/u01/sourcePDB’,'/u03/targetPDB')
move;
AS CLONE Clause
Specify this clause only if the target CDB already contains a
PDB that was created using the same set of data files. The source files remain
as an unplugged PDB and can be used again. Specifying
AS CLONE also ensures that Oracle Database generates new
identifiers, such as DBID and GUID, for the new PDB. Let me demonstrate this
with an example.
