How to clone a PDB database using DBCA in manual mode

edited Sep 20, 2016 5:00AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

Hi,

Context : 12.1.0.2 databases on Windows server 2012 R2

By using DBCA in manual mode, I would like to clone a PDB.

By unsing DBCA we can plug a database (and rename it) by using its archive file : according to me that means to clone.

The problem is the following : the only way to create en archive file (.pdb) is to unplug my source PDB.

Once unplugged, it's unreachable.

I would like to create a .pdb file without unplugging my source PDB (or a way to plug it back easily).

Please help me.

Howdy, Stranger!
