We can create a pluggable database in an existing multitenant database either using dbca or manually.
STEPS:
Connect to the container database:(ROOT)
[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus sys/oracle@cdb1 as sysdba SQL*Plus: Release 12.1.0.2.0 Production on Sun Aug 23 10:27:08 2015 Copyright (c) 1982, 2014, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.2.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Advanced Analytics and Real Application Testing options SQL> show con_name CON_NAME ----------- CDB$ROOT
While creating PDB if you don’t mention FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter then below error will come
SQL> create pluggable database dbwr admin user ram identified by ram; create pluggable database dbwr admin user ram identified by ram * ERROR at line 1: ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified
Create PDB:(correct command)
SQL> create pluggable database dbwr admin user ram identified by ram FILE_NAME_CONVERT=('/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/pdbseed','/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/cdb1/dbwr'); Pluggable database created.
