Migrate none-CDB to PDB in Dataguard - oracle 19.6- HOW TO?

Hesipesi

Hi,

I have a primary database and 2 standby databases , oracle 19.6 .

My plan is to migrate the whole environment to PDB databases , and still in Dataguard setup.

What do you think is the best way to do that ?

Should I migrate the primary database and then build the standbys from scratch(e,g with rman duplicate)?  Or is it possible to migrate all the 3 databases and keep the gatagurd configuration even after the migration?!

Thanks for your comments!

Hi,

I guess the easiest solution might be as you suggest and rebuild the standby databases from scratch after the non-CDB to PDB conversion. However, if for some reason that is not an option, you can convert to PDB without having to re-transfer the data files.

The data guard PM posted this blog a while ago:

And this MOS note can help as well:
