Move the Dump File to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System

If you have access to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System, then, as the opc user, use the scp command to copy the files. Otherwise, use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage to upload the dump file to a bucket that is accessible to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System. See Uploading Objects to a Bucket or Folder.

Verify that there is enough space in the target Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System.

  1. ssh to one of the nodes in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System.
    sudo su - oracle
    df -h dump_file_location

    For example:

    sudo su - oracle
    df -h /home/oracle
  2. Compare the amount of free space free to the size of the dump file determined at the end exporting the PDB. See Step 9 of Export the Pluggable Database from the DBCS System. If the space is insufficient, increase the space for the storage volume before proceeding.

    If you uploaded the dump file to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage bucket, get the dump file from the bucket and place it in the directory that you chose at the time of gathering information from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System (see Gather Information from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database System). In the examples, this location will be /home/oracle. See Downloading an Object from a Bucket or Folder.

    After you copy the file, ensure that you grant the oracle user read access on the dump file and execute access on the parent directories of the file.
