Goal
To plug in an existing 12.1.0.2 or later non-CDB database into a CDB as a new PDB where the current Primary and the target CDB both have standby databases and allow you to use the original Standby database’s data files to update the destination CDB’s Standby.
This note describes a multitenant migration option for maintaining standby databases when the source database is a non-CDB. If your source database is a PDB, please see <Document 2273829.1>. For Oracle RDBMS 19c RU15 (19.15) and later and the source database is a PDB, please see <Document 2887844.1>.
Always test the steps in a dev/test environment prior to using in production. Since the original files are being modified directly by the plugin on the primary and by the consumption of the files on the standby, severe errors could cause you to need to either restore the original non-CDB databases (both primary and standby) or defer recovery of the PDB at the standby and use the steps in <Document 1916648.1> to re-enable recovery.
