The pdb relocate command supports the following options:

Syntax

Table 3-36 exacloudmigration pdb relocate Commands

Command	Description
-a, --all	Relocates all pluggable databases (PDBs).
-i, --inputFile	Specifies the PDB input file name with complete path.
-l, --pdbNames	Specifies a comma-delimited list of PDBs to perform relocate operation. Example: To relocate a PDB: -l pdb1 To relocate multiple PDBs: -l pdb1,pdb2,pdb3
-w, --walletFile	Specifies the wallet file name with the path.
--dry-run	Performs dry run without relocating PDBs.
-h, --help	Displays help information about the command and its options.
-V, --version	Displays the version of the utility.

Examples:

• To validate the PDBs input template file and perform a --dry-run:

  /home/opc>./exacloudmigration pdb relocate -a -i inputs/infra_<infra-text>/vmcluster_vmcluster1/DBNAME1_pdb_inputs -w ewallet.p12 --dry-run

  Specify the password for reading the wallet file.

• To validate a comma-delimited list of PDBs of PDB input template file and perform a --dry-run:

  /home/opc>./exacloudmigration pdb relocate -i inputs/infra_<infra-text>/vmcluster_vmcluster1/DBNAME1_pdb_inputs -w ewallet.p12 -l PDB1,PDB2 --dry-run

  Specify the password for reading the wallet file.

• To relocate all pluggable databases (PDBs) from a source CDB to target CDB, following successful validation and dry run:

  /home/opc>./exacloudmigration pdb relocate -a -i inputs/infra_<infra-text>/vmcluster_vmcluster1/DBNAME1_pdb_inputs -w ewallet.p12

  Specify the password for reading the wallet file.

• To relocate comma-delimited list of pluggable databases (PDBs) from a source CDB to target CDB, following successful validation and dry run:

  /home/opc>./exacloudmigration pdb relocate -i inputs/infra_<infra-text>/vmcluster_vmcluster1/DBNAME1_pdb_inputs -w ewallet.p12 -l PDB1,PDB2

  Specify the password for reading the wallet file.

  Note:

  • If the database wallet file is not used, the command prompts for the SYS password for each database.
  • If the database wallet file is used, but a password entry for any database is missing, the utility stops execution and displays an error indicating that the password does not exist in the wallet.
