PLUGGABLE DATABASE HOT CLONE REFRESH MANUAL

Oracle Database 12.1.x and Later

One Source PDB in CDB

One Empty CDB for Target

In this post ;

Database Version : 19C

PDB01 is my source pluggable database in CDB01

PDB01_HOT_MAN is my target clone pluggable database in CDB02

For this LAB Please create below requirements

Create PDB01 in CDB01 and insert some data

Create Empty CDB02 Database

#### Create CDB01

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbname CDB01 -sid CDB02 -createAsContainerDatabase true -numberofPDBs 0 -useLocalUndoForPDBS true -responseFile NO_VALUE -totalMemory 1800 -sysPassword welcome1 -systemPassword welcome1 -pdbAdminPassword welcome1 -enableArchive true -recoveryAreaDestination /u01/app/oracle/databases/recovery_area/CDB01 -recoveryAreaSize 1500 -datafileDestination /u01/app/oracle/databases/datafiles/CDB01

#### Create PDB01 and Insert Some Data

create pluggable database PDB01 admin user adminpdb01 identified by welcome1 roles=(CONNECT) CREATE_FILE_DEST='/u01/app/oracle/databases/datafiles/PDB01';

alter pluggable database PDB01 open;

#### Generate Data via Toad

Create some tables as you wish and use toad to insert data

Toad > Administrator > Import Data > Generate Data

sqlplus as sysdba

connect sys@PDB01 as sysdba

Enter password:

### Grant Create PDB Privilege to the user which you will use.. I used system in lab

grant create pluggable database to system;

Grant succeeded.

Note : Until this point you should have PDB01 in CDB01 Database with some data populated into tables

sqlplus system/welcome1 as sysdba

alter session set container=PDB01;

select count(*) from scott.DEPT;


COUNT(*)

----------

12000



select count(*) from scott.emp;

COUNT(*)

----------

12000

#### Create CDB02 with no PDB

$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName General_Purpose.dbc -gdbname CDB02 -sid CDB02 -createAsContainerDatabase true -numberofPDBs 0 -useLocalUndoForPDBS true -responseFile NO_VALUE -totalMemory 1800 -sysPassword welcome1 -systemPassword welcome1 -pdbAdminPassword welcome1 -enableArchive true -recoveryAreaDestination /u01/app/oracle/databases/recovery_area/CDB02 -recoveryAreaSize 1500 -datafileDestination /u01/app/oracle/databases/datafiles/CDB02

sqlplus system/welcome1 as sysdba

select instance_name from v$instance;


INSTANCE_NAME

----------------

CDB02

Create DB Link

Syntax : create pluggable database <NEW PDB NAME> from <SOURCEPDBNAMETOCLONE>@<DBLINKONTARGETTOSOURCE> refresh mode manual;

alter session set db_create_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/databases/datafiles/CDB02/PDB01_HOT_MAN';

create pluggable database PDB01_HOT_MAN from PDB01@PDB_SOURCE_FOR_HOT_CLONE refresh mode manual;

Pluggable database created.

#### AFTER CLONE COUNT SIZE ###NOTE THAT HOT CLONE PDB STILL READ ONLY

select count(*) from scott.DEPT;

select count(*) from scott.emp;

### Insert New Rows into PDB01 in CDB01 Source

######WE WILL REFRESH PDB01_HOT_MAN and Check new 2000 Rows Updated ?
