Can you clone a PDB to an application PDB

Hello All,

I am trying to clone a pdb as an application pdb. I do not want to convert the pdb to an application pdb because we are still in testing phase to see if application pdb's are a viable option.

Is this possible?

My set up oracle 19c os linux redhat 7

CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE appclone_pdb AS APPLICATION CONTAINER from orclpdb; 

the first time i connected as sys i got the below error.

ORA-06550: line 22, column 13:

PLS-00201: identifier 'USER_DB_LINKS.DB_LINK' must be declared

ORA-06550: line 22, column 13:
