Oracle Database 12c: Full Transportable Export/Import

Introduction

Oracle Database 12c includes significant new features such as the Oracle Multitenant Option.
This multitenant architecture includes the ability to create pluggable databases (PDBs), a new way to consolidate multiple databases into a single multitenant container database (CDB).
Many customers will look forward to saving on database management costs, achieving more efficient hardware utilization, and realizing economies of scale by migrating to a consolidated database environment using pluggable databases.
Traditional methods used for database migration work seamlessly with pluggable databases.
Original Export/Import, Data Pump export/import, and transportable tablespaces can all be
used to migrate from earlier versions of Oracle Database to a pluggable database running with Oracle Database 12c. In addition, an exciting new feature, full transportable export/import, is available to make migration to Oracle Database 12c faster, easier, and more efficient than ever before.
This white paper describes the full transportable export/import feature in Oracle Database 12c. After giving an overview of the benefits of using full transportable export/import, it explains how the feature works and provides a detailed example of full transportable export/import to show the syntax and process flow of using this feature. Note that, while this white paper focuses on the use of full transportable export/import in a pluggable database environment, this feature can be used generally for migrations to a Oracle Database 12c non-CDB database as well.
