MAX_PDBS parameter being ignored

in Database Administration (MOSC) 8 commentsAnswered

Recently one of our DBA reported the following error:

CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE PT0DVTTE ADMIN USER pdbadmin IDENTIFIED BY V3ry_CompleX

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-65010: maximum number of pluggable databases created


The recommendation was that the DBA set max_pdbs to a higher value and repeat. They did this but the error still persisted. The installation is Enterprise licence and as per the recommended MOS note (2677637.1) - "if you have the need for 4 or more PDBs within one container database, you will need a Multitenant license"

Our organization has a PULA/EULA agreement which covers Multi-tenancy and other features - but this is not a configurable element. Is there any way to find out why this licence limit is not being picked up by the installation.
