Creating a PDB by Cloning a PDB in the Same CDB Using EM Express

This section provides information about creating a new PDB by cloning an existing PDB in the same CDB using EM Express.

Note:

Before you create a new PDB by cloning an existing PDB in the same CDB:

  • The source PDB (the PDB that you want to clone) must exist, and EM Express must be configured to access the PDB.

  • The source PDB must be open.

  • The CDB (the CDB into which you want to plug in the cloned PDB) must exist, and EM Express must be configured to access the CDB.

  • The CDB must be in read/write mode.

  • The target host user must be the owner of the Oracle home that the CDB belongs to.

To create a new PDB by cloning an existing PDB in the same CDB:

  1. In EM Express, navigate to the Containers page for the CDB in which you want to create the PDB.

    For more information, see "Accessing the Containers Page."

  2. In the Containers section of the Containers page, click the PDB that you want to clone, and then choose Clone from the Actions menu. The Clone wizard appears.

  3. On the General page of the Clone wizard, enter the name you want to use for the PDB that will be created by the clone operation.

    Click the right arrow button to go to the Storage page.

  4. On the Storage page, select the location where you want to store the datafiles for the PDB, or accept the default value.

  5. Click OK.

    The PDB is created and opened in read/write mode. EM Express adds the PDB to the list of containers that appears in the Containers section on the Containers page.

After configuring an HTTPS port for EM Express for this PDB, the PDB can be managed using EM Express. Administrative users who have been granted the EM_EXPRESS_ALL role in a PDB can use EM Express to manage the PDB.
