Purpose
How to Restore Dropped PDB in Multitenant using Auxiliary instance ( For Single Instance Database)
Scope
If a pluggable database (PDB)/datafiles are accidentally deleted, corrupted etc. the repository/metadata for the PDB still exists and it can be restored and recoverd
If a PDB is accidentally/intentionally dropped using DROP PLUGGABLE DATABASE <PDBNAME>, this will drop the PDB and remove the metadata from repository.
Therefore, a restore of the PDB (including PDB PITR to before the dropped time) will fail with an error such as RMAN-06813: could not translate pluggable database PDBxx.
Above error is identified as bug in Unpublished Bug 19808171 which required to apply the patch if recovery of Dropped PDB fails.
For Details refer <Document 19809171.8>
As workaround, we can can restore/recover the dropped PDB in an 'Auxiliary' instance as Out-Place restore/recover.
