Which are three of the steps taken by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to clone a remote pluggable database (PBD) starting from Oracle 19c? (Choose three.)
Which are three of the steps taken by Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to clone a remote pluggable database (PBD) starting from Oracle 19c? (Choose three.)
To clone a remote pluggable database (PDB) starting from Oracle 19c using DBCA, three essential steps are involved. First, a database link must be created from CDB$ROOT in the local database to the PDB in the remote system that is to be cloned in order to establish the necessary communication path. Next, a database link can also be from CDB$ROOT in the local database to the CDB$ROOT in the remote system facilitating the cloning process. Finally, after the remote PDB has been cloned, the cloned PDB needs to be opened in the local database to make it accessible and operational.
I think BEG
RinD is right, BEG
BEG, but A should be also OK,when you read the documentation: "The database link connects from the local CDB to either to the root of the remote CDB or to the remote source PDB."
BEG is the right answer.
From the following reference, we can know the answer should be AEG or BEG. Combine with other comments, I believe it is BEG. https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/multi/cloning-a-pdb.html#GUID-13FF2CE2-532C-4816-8E88-7A5A6E16A279 About Cloning a Remote PDB When the source is a PDB is in a remote CDB, you must use a database link to clone the PDB into the local CDB. The database link must exist in the local CDB (not the remote CDB). When you issue the CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement from the root of the local CDB, you must specify a database link to the remote CDB that contains the PDB being cloned in the FROM clause. The database link connects from the local CDB to either to the root of the remote CDB or to the remote source PDB. The following figure illustrates how this technique creates a new PDB when the source PDB is remote. https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/multi/cloning-a-pdb.html#GUID-32AE49B1-13A7-4A4D-AB43-BA781ECA99D6
AB correct database link connects from the local CDB to either to the root of the remote CDB or to the remote source PDB. G obvius
Tested in lab. If the database link already exists the operation will fail with: [FATAL] [DBT-19405] Database link (database_link_name) is already exists.
BEG i think
F is Incorrect - from oracle doc Prerequisites for the Database Link The following prerequisites must be met: A database link must enable a connection from the destination CDB (the CDB to which the PDB is being cloned) to the PDB in the source CDB. source is remote and destination is local
E is FALSE. This is the error that occurs if the database link already exists: [FATAL] [DBT-19405] Database link (RCAT_CLON_CLONE_LINK) is already exists. If the clone process fails after create database link, you have to manually delete this database link in the local CDB$ROOT to try again.
... But in Oracle docs. 19c and Learnig Subscription curses, all says "Checks the presence of the database link. If the database link exists, DBCA drops it.". Then, E is true for exam (That reality does not destroy your hope...)
I think ABE https://oracle-base.com/articles/19c/multitenant-dbca-pdb-remote-clone-19c
A and B can be both answer?
Sorry, my bad. I change my answer to EFG https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/multi/cloning-a-pdb.html#GUID-05702CEB-A43C-452C-8081-4CA68DDA8007
"A" can be true if cloned manually, but not by DBCA.
