Restrictions When Connected to a PDB

Restrictions When Connected to a PDB

Certain restrictions apply when you connect directly to a pluggable database (PDB):
The following operations are not available when you connect as target directly to a PDB:

• Back up archived logs
• Delete archived logs
• Delete archived log backups
• Restore archived logs (RMAN does restore archived logs when required during media recovery.)
• Point-in-time recovery (PITR) when using shared undo mode
• TSPITR when using shared undo mode
• Table recovery when using shared undo mode
• Duplicate database when using shared undo mode
• Flashback operations when using shared undo mode
• Running Data Recovery Advisor
• Report/delete obsolete
• Register database
• Import catalog
• Reset database
• Configuring the RMAN environment (using the CONFIGURE command)

Note:
Starting in Oracle Database 19c, the Data Recovery Advisor (DRA) feature is deprecated.
The deprecation of DRA includes deprecation of the following Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) commands: LIST FAILURE, ADVISE FAILURE, REPAIR FAILURE, and CHANGE FAILURE. Database administrators will no longer have access to these commands. There is no replacement feature for DRA.
