    [schedule {timer_value| NOW}] 
    [-useractiondata user_action_data]
   [-dbsinparallel <number_of_instances>] [-raconetimeout <timeout>]

Parameters

Table A-15 rhpctl move database Command Parameters

Parameter	Description
`-patchedwc workingcopy_name`	Specify the name of the working copy to where you want to move the database.
`-sourcewc workingcopy_name`	Specify the name of the working copy from which the database is to be moved.
`-sourcehome Oracle_home_path`	Alternatively, you can specify the source Oracle home path.
`-oraclebase Oracle_base_path`	Specify the ORACLE_BASE path for provisioning the Oracle database home (required only for `ORACLEDBSOFTWARE` image type).
`-client cluster_name`	Specify the name of the client cluster.
`-dbname db_name_list`	Specify the unique names of the databases (`DB_UNIQUE_NAME` without `DB_DOMAIN`) that you want to move to the patched working copy. Note: If you are moving a non-clustered (single-instance) database, then, for the value of the `-dbname` parameter, you must specify the SID of the database instead of the database name.
`-excludedblist db_name_list`	Alternative to using the `-dbname` parameter, you can use the `-excludedblist` parameter to patch all databases except specific databases.
`-nonrolling [-skipprereq]` \| `-forcerolling \| -batches list_of_batches` \| `-smartmove [-saf availability] [–separate]`	Optionally, you can choose one of the three following methods to move a database: Use the `-nonrolling` parameter to move the database in a non-rolling mode. By default, databases move in a rolling mode. Use the `–skipprereq` option to skip the prerequisite checks and start the database in upgrade mode for patching. Use the `–forcerolling` parameter to force the Oracle home to move in rolling mode. Use the `-batches` parameter to specify a comma-delimited list of batches of nodes (where each batch is a comma-delimited list of node names enclosed in parentheses) enclosed in double quotation marks (`""`) in the format: `"(nA,nB,...),(...,nY,nZ)"`. Alternatively, use the `-smartmove` parameter. Use the `-saf availability` parameter to specify a service availability factor, which is the minimum percentage of instances on which a service must remain running during the move. Use the `-separate` parameter to process batches separately. When you use this parameter, the `move` command returns after each batch. The move operation for the first batch must specify the source home and other parameters that apply to all batches (such as `-nonrolling` and `-keepplacement`). Control subsequent batches using the `-continue`, `-skip`, and `-abort` parameters.
`–eval`	Use the `–eval` parameter to print auto-generated batches of nodes and sequence of moves without actually performing the move operation.
`-ignoremissingpatches patch_name1 [,patch_name2...]`	Perform the move and/or upgrade even though the specified patches, which are present in the source path or working copy, may be missing from the destination path or working copy.
`-ignorewcpatches`	Optionally, you can use this parameter to ignore if a patched working copy is missing some patches which are present in the source path or working copy.
`-keepplacement`	Use this parameter to ensure that services of administrator-managed Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node databases are running on the same instances before and after the move operation.
`-disconnect [-noreplay]`	Optionally, use the `-disconnect` parameter to disconnect all sessions before stopping or relocating services. If you choose to use `-disconnect`, then you can choose to use the `-noreplay` parameter to disable session replay during disconnection.
`-drain_timeout timeout`	Specify the time, in seconds, allowed for resource draining to be completed. Accepted values are an empty string (""), 0, or any positive integer. The default value is an empty string, which means that this parameter is not set. If it is set to 0, then draining occurs, immediately. The draining period is intended for planned maintenance operations. During the draining period, all current client requests are processed, but new requests are not accepted.
`-stopoption stop_option`	Optionally, you can specify a stop option for the database. Options include: `ABORT`, `IMMEDIATE`, `NORMAL`, `TRANSACTIONAL`, and `TRANSACTIONAL_LOCAL`.
`–nodatapatch`	Use this parameter to indicate not to run `datapatch` for databases you are moving.
`-targetnode node_name`	Optionally, you can specify the name of a node in a remote cluster that has no Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client.
`-notify [-cc user_list]`	Optionally, you can supply a list of users to whom email notifications of the move will be sent, in addition to the owner of the working copy.
`-continue [-skip]`	If a batch-mode `rhpctl move database` command fails at any point, then, after correcting the cause of the error, you can rerun the command with the `-continue` parameter to attempt to patch the failed batch. If you want to skip the failed batch and continue with the next batch, use the `-continue` and `-skip` parameters together. If you attempt to skip over the last batch, then the move operation is terminated.
`—revert`	If a batch-mode or non-batch-mode `rhpctl move database` command fails, then you can rerun the command with the `-revert` parameter to undo the changes that have been made, and return the configuration to its initial state.
`—abort`	If a batch-mode or non-batch-mode `rhpctl move database` command fails, then you can rerun the command with the `-abort` parameter to terminate the patching process and leave the cluster in its current state.
`-root` \| `-cred cred_name` \| `-sudouser sudo_user_name -sudopath sudo_binary_location` \| `-auth plugin_name plugin_args`	If you choose to use the `-targetnode` parameter, then you must choose either `root`, a credential name, `sudo`, or an authentication plugin to access the remote node. Choose `-root` to perform super user operations as `root`. Alternatively, you can choose either to specify a credential name to associate the user name and password credentials to access a remote node, to perform super user operations as a `sudo` user by specifying a `sudo` user name and the path to the `sudo` binary, or to use an authentication plugin to access the remote node.
`-useractiondata user_action_data`	Optionally, you can pass a value to the `useractiondata` parameter of the user action script.
`-schedule {timer_value \| NOW}`	Optionally, you can use this parameter to schedule a time to run this operation, in ISO-8601 format. For example: `2018-07-25T19:13:17+05` If `NOW` is specified, then the job is scheduled immediately.
`-dbsinparallel number_of_instances`	Number of database instances that can be started in parallel on a given node.
`-raconetimeout timeout`	RAC One Node database relocation timeout in minutes.

Usage Notes

You can obtain context sensitive help for specific use cases for the rhpctl move database command, as follows:

$ rhpctl move database -help [EXISTING_PATCHEDWC | NEW_PATCHEDWC | SRCHOME
  | SINGLEINSTANCEDB | ROLLING | NONROLLING | BATCHES | SMARTMOVE]

If you choose to use the -schedule parameter, then you must run this command on the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server.

Examples

To move all the databases running from one working copy to another in a rolling fashion:

$ rhpctl move database -sourcewc prodHomeV1 -patchedwc prodHomeV2 -client prodcluster

In the preceding example, the patched working copy, prodHomeV2, must exist.

To move all databases running on a non-managed Oracle home at /u01/app/product/12.1.0/dbhome to a working copy named myDB12Home1:

$ rhpctl move database -sourcehome /u01/app/product/12.1.0/dbhome -oraclebase /u01/app/product/12.1.0/obase -patchedwc myDB12Home1

To move a database named SampleDB from a working copy named myDB12Home1 to a working copy named myDB12Home1patched (any other databases running on myDB12Home1 are not affected by this move):

$ rhpctl move database –sourcewc myDB12Home1 –patchedwc myDB12Home1patched –dbname SampleDB

To move all databases running on a working copy named myDB12Home1 to a working copy named myDB12Home1patched:

$ rhpctl move database –sourcewc myDB12Home1 –patchedwc myDB12Home1patched

To move a non-clustered (single-instance) database with a SID of SID101 running on a patched working copy named myDB12Home1patched:

$ rhpctl move database -patchedwc myDB12Home1patched -sourcehome
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/db_1 -targetnode vm02 -dbname SIDl01
-sudouser oracle -sudopath /usr/bin/sudo

The preceding examples are the basic form of the command. You can also move groups of databases in batches. The batch operations also support management of session connections and recovery options.

rhpctl movepdb database

Moves one or more pluggable databases from a source, single-instance container database, to a destination, single-instance container database.

The source and destination single-instance container databases can be running in a provisioned database working copy. The working copy can be on the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server, a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client, or a non-Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client target, which is a target without a Fleet Patching and Provisioning Client configured and running. The destination single-instance container database can be at a higher patch level, which facilitates patching of a pluggable database to a higher patch level.

Syntax

rhpctl movepdb database -sourcecdb source_cdb_name -destcdb destination_cdb_name
    {-pdbname pdb_name_list | -excludepdblist pdb_name_list}
    [-root | -cred cred_name | -sudouser sudo_user_name

`-autoupg`	Executes the upgrade database operation using the AutoUpgrade toolkit present in the target working copy.
`-upgtimezone { YES \| NO }`	Enables or disables time zone upgrade as part of the AutoUpgrade process. Default is `YES`.
`-runutlrp { YES \| NO }`	Enables or disables the recompilation of invalid objects as part of the AutoUpgrade process. Default is `YES`.

Usage Notes

If you choose to use the -schedule parameter, then you must run this command on the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server.

Example

The following example upgrades a database, testy, from Oracle Database 11g, which is on working copy db112mbc143 to Oracle Database 12c, which is on working copy db12102mbc143, both of which reside on the remote node bposvr141:

$ rhpctl upgrade database -dbname testy -sourcewc db112mbcl43 -destwc db12102mbcl43 -root -targetnode bposvr141
