Thanks for the reply Pat I wasn't even thinking that there could be people with 12c and multitentant setups. This is all new to me still.
In my case I have used rman to clone the source CDB/PDB to my target which is a new CDB but still has the source PDB name if that makes sense.
So CDB1/PDB1 to CBD2/PBD1.
The guide for 19c says to do this:
4. If the PDB name needs to be changed, execute the following steps to rename the PDB.
<--- Why wouldn't it need to be changed?$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> alter pluggable database "<SOURCE PDB NAME>" close;
SQL> alter pluggable database "<SOURCE PDB NAME>" unplug into '<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/<SOURCE PDB NAME>.xml';
SQL> drop pluggable database "<SOURCE PDB NAME>";
SQL> create pluggable database "<NEW PDB NAME>" using '<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/<SOURCE PDB NAME>.xml' NOCOPY SERVICE_NAME_CONVERT=('ebs_<SOURCE PDB NAME>','ebs_<TARGET PDB NAME>');
<-- this is what fails for meSQL> alter pluggable database "<TARGET PDB NAME>" open read write;
I will review what you have provided with respect to the PDB and see if I can make that work thanks.

Hi Mark,
We are on 12c, but also on PDBs. The PDB name cannot be the same as the CDB name.
Below are the steps we follow to rename the CDB and PDB after cloning.
Step 1) Set Container Database Name
Correct the container name from SID to SIDCDB to avoid
"ORA-65042: name is already used by an existing container"
when attempting to change PDB name to SID.
| $ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> select name, open_mode from v$database; NAME OPEN_MODE --------- -------------------- SID READ WRITE SQL> select * from global_name; GLOBAL_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SID.PRVPRDRS.CDMSVCN01.ORACLEVCN.COM SQL> alter database rename global_name to SIDCDB.PRVPRDRS.ABCVCN01.ORACLEVCN.COM; Database altered. SQL> select * from global_name; GLOBAL_NAME -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIDCDB.PRVPRDRS.ABCVCN01.ORACLEVCN.COM |
Step 2) Set Pluggable Database Name
| SQL> show pdbs CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 2 PDB$SEED READ ONLY NO 3 SRCSID READ WRITE NO SQL> alter session set container=SRCSID; Session altered. SQL> shu immediate Pluggable Database closed. SQL> startup open restrict Pluggable Database opened. SQL> alter pluggable database SRCSID rename global_name to SID; Pluggable database altered. SQL> show pdbs; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 3 SID READ WRITE YES |
Step 3) Restart Pluggable Database
Take PDB out of RESTRICTED mode to allow normal database connections.
| SQL> show pdbs; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 3 SID READ WRITE YES SQL> shu immediate Pluggable Database closed. SQL> startup Pluggable Database opened. SQL> show pdbs; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED ---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 3 SID READ WRITE NO |
Hope that helps,
Pat

Subject: EBS 12.1.3 with 19c database - cloning and pdb rename issue
Hey all,
I have a on-premise R12.1.3 environment on RHEL that I have recently upgraded to use a 19c database following "Interoperability Notes: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 19c (Doc ID 2580629.1)".
Now I have been trying to clone that environment to another set of servers following Cloning Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Multitenant Database using Rapid Clone (Doc ID 2560690.1). My current issue however is I when I get to step4.1.6 Restore and Start the Target Database
My current issue however is I when I get to step 4 when I go to rename the PDB after using rman to clone the CDB/PDB.
4. If the PDB name needs to be changed, execute the following steps to rename the PDB.
I am getting this error which if I check I can see is based on the services$ listed in the source CDB.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65174: invalid or conflicting name in service xxxx found in the pluggable database
A suggestion was to try the 'as clone' clause so tried that but then got this datafile error:
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01537: cannot add file '/u10/oradata/XXX/db/apps_st/data/system01.dbf' -
file already part of database
So anybody have any experience here? Also why does it suggest 'If the PDB name needs to be changed" I mean why wouldn't it?
