Removing an Oracle Pluggable Database

Before you begin

• A container database with at least one Oracle Pluggable Database (PDB) currently managed by BMC Database Automation (BDA) must be up and available.
• For RAC environments, the instance must be approved and be in the Up state.

2. In the Pluggable Databases section of the Database Configuration page, click the PDB that you want to remove.
3. Select Provision > Remove Pluggable Database.

4. In the General page, populate the following fields, and click Next.
5. If you select a template, click Skip Ahead to advance directly to the next step that requires input. An informational message appears on these steps, in green type, listing the fields that require entries before advancing to the next step.
    If you do not select a template, go to the next step.

6. In the Custom Scripts Configuration page, select any pre-provisioning or post-provisioning scripts that you want to run as follows:

7. In the Job Options page, specify any of the following Job options, and click Next.
8. In the Summary page, review the provisioning information.

   2. Make your changes.
   3. Click Save and Review to return to the Summary page.

    For additional information, see Understanding pre-verification tests.
   • To continue with removing the pluggable database after the pre-verification tests have been successfully run without manual intervention, select Automatically Continue If All Tests Succeed.

   • To remove the pluggable database without having first run the pre-verification steps, select Skip Pre-Verification Tests.

     Warning

     Note

     The Skip Pre-Verification Tests option should only be used when you are certain all tests can succeed. The option skips verification and advances directly to the actual provisioning activity.
