Plugging and Unplugging PDBs

You can plug existing registered databases into a CDB. You do not need to register the PDB again, as long as you perform the following steps:

  • Pick the wallet files from the source location and put them in the new default wallet location for the PDB.

  • Set the LDAP_DIRECTORY_ACCESS parameter to the desired value in the CDB.

Similarly, when unplugging an existing PDB that is registered with the directory, you do not need to re-register the database. You need to copy the wallet to the new default location after unplug. The default location should be:

  • If the ORACLE_BASE environment variable is set:

    ORACLE_BASE/admin/db_unique_name/wallet 
    
  • If ORACLE_BASE is not set:

    ORACLE_HOME/admin/db_unique_name/wallet
