Dehydrate and Rehydrate a PDB

Dehydrate a PDB

Enterprise Management provides an option for a Self Service (SSA) user to create a data profile while deleting the PDB. By enabling this option, you can preserve the backup of the PDB instance when an SSA user attempts to delete the PDB. The backup is stored in the Software library by default, and the location of the profile can be customized too.

This functionality is referred to as Dehydrate a PDB.

To dehydrate a PDB, see Creating a Service Template for PDB Based on Profile in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Administration Guide.

Rehydrate a PDB

The Enterprise Manager self-service portal enables you to create a new PDB using a preexisting Data profile created by the SSA user during Dehydrate. This template permits the SSA user to plug the PDB back into the CDB pool and this functionality is referred to as Rehydrate a PDB by an SSA user.

To rehydrate a PDB, see Pluggable Database creation using SSA User Data Profile in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Administration Guide.
