Hi Tom I have been trying to clone a pdb using database link into a cdb having dataguard setup using STANDBYS=ALL clause. But my replication stops . I tried changing the file_name_convert parameter at CDB level and still the new cloned pdb could not get replicated . Can you please try at your end if you get time and let me know what could be the possible reason for failure . I am also trying at my end and will share the result if i succeed Thanks Gaurav

I think this is a documented restriction (ie, cloning via dblink):

From the docs:

http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SBYDB/create_ps.htm#SBYDB5260

"If you want to perform a remote clone of a PDB from another CDB into the primary CDB, then you must use the STANDBY=NONE clause and then copy the files and enable recovery by following the steps in the My Oracle Support note 2049127.1 at http://support.oracle.com."
