Clone a PDB

Enterprise Manager has the ability to clone PDBs, follow these steps:

Clone PDB Prerequisites

• When cloning a PDB from one CDB to another CDB make sure both the source and target CDB have the same database domain name.

  Note:

  This is not required if cloning on the same CDB.
• When cloning a PDB from one CDB to another CDB inside Exadata Cloud, make sure that both source and target CDB have the same database domain and the global names have the correct domain suffix.
