I used windows server 2012 with 64 Bit Operating system and I install Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production.
When Create pluggable database as per following link.
https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/database/multitenant-part1-pdbs-2193987.html

I face an issue while adding services in PDBs.

e:\app\GROUP1\product\12.2.0\dbhome_1\bin>srvctl add service -db orcl -s SERVICEPDB11 -pdb PDB11
PRCD-1027 : Failed to retrieve database orcl
PRCR-1070 : Failed to check if resource ora.orcl.db is registered
CRS-0184 : Cannot communicate with the CRS daemon.


So I also search the problem on internet but i not find any proper solution.

That article probably should have some better context. You'll be using SRVCTL when you are adding database services (and other things) to the resources controlled by the Oracle Clusterware.

If you do not have the Clusterware installed/running, and just have the database running, you can add services via the service_names parameter. For example

--
-- Initial state of listener
--
C:\>lsnrctl status

But by default, there will be a service name automatically created for each PDB in your container database, so unless you want *additional* service names, you should be good to go.

Refreshable PDB swithover in 18c

Rajeshwaran, Jeyabal, December 13, 2018 - 2:59 pm UTC

Team,

was going through this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dynkNGL-C9Q&list=PLdtXkK5KBY54dp_yOzKo2S34Ney-vPFCs&index=3 on Refreshable PDB swithover in 18c
also have gone through this from documentation
https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/multi/administering-pdbs-with-sql-plus.html#GUID-B505C234-FAF4-4BAB-8B59-59276E0EA128

Lets say i have Containter database CDB1 with one pluggable database PDB1 (source PDB)
another Containter database CDB2 with one pluggable database PDB2 (refreshable clone PDB)

Now applications are connected to PDB1 and have Transactions
due to increased resource usage in CDB1, planning to swich over the refreshable PDB clone - so after this switch PDB2 become source PDB and PDB1 become refreshable clone PDB.

what about the applications? do i need to repoint their connection entires to PDB2 now to proceed their transaction or no changes required in the application ? please confirm.

My understanding is that the listener will take care of this although it is not a transparent failover - connections are terminated and re-initiated on the new node.

The Listener will show a status that it is forwarding connections to the target

oracle>lsnrctl service

Service "pdb2" has 1 instance(s).
Instance "orclcdb2", status READY, has 1 handler(s) for this service...

PDB lock down profiles.

Rajeshwaran Jeyabal, August 07, 2019 - 4:06 pm UTC

Team,

not possible to have multiple values in the lock down profile? Kindly advice.

c##sys@ORA12CR2> drop lockdown profile p1;

Lockdown Profile dropped.

c##sys@ORA12CR2> create lockdown profile p1;

Lockdown Profile created.

c##sys@ORA12CR2> alter lockdown profile p1 disable statement = ('ALTER SESSION') clause=('SET')
  2     option=('CURSOR_SHARING')
  3     value=('FORCE','SIMILAR');
alter lockdown profile p1 disable statement = ('ALTER SESSION') clause=('SET')
                                        *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65206: invalid value specified
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option


c##sys@ORA12CR2> alter lockdown profile p1 disable statement = ('ALTER SESSION') clause=('SET')
  2     option=('CURSOR_SHARING')
  3     value=('FORCE');

Lockdown Profile altered.

c##sys@ORA12CR2>

And this is in no way related to the original question
