Migrate the DBCS Data to an OCI Database System

Use the instructions provided in this section to migrate the Pluggable Database (PDB) in a Database Cloud Service (DBCS) instance used by Oracle Java Cloud Service to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System so that it can be used by an Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI instance.

At a high level, the migration process comprises the following tasks:

  1. Create an 12.2.x OCI Database System.
  2. Gather the credentials and other database information that will be needed by the Oracle Data Pump.
  3. Create a listener alias for the PDB in the 12.2.x Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System, if one does not exist.
  4. Use the Oracle Data Pump to export the PDB contents from the DBCS instance into a dump file.
  5. Use the Oracle Data Pump to import the dump file into a PDB in the 12.2.x OCI Database System.

Note:

The instructions provided in this section have been verified with a 12.2.x version of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. You may require to amend these steps if you plan to use a different version of the database system.
