You are about to plug a multi-terabyte non-CDB into an existing multitenant container database (CDB).
The characteristics of the non-CDB are as follows:
Version: Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2.0) 64-bit

Character Set: AL32UTF8

National Character Set: AL16UTF16

O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit

The characteristics of the CDB are as follows:
Version: Oracle Database 12c Release 1 64-bit

Character Set: AL32UTF8

National Character Set: AL16UTF16

O/S: Oracle Linux 6 64-bit

Which technique should you use to minimize down time while plugging this non-CDB into the CDB?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Transportable tablespaces were introduced in Oracle 8i to allow whole tablespaces to be copied between databases in the time it takes to copy the datafiles. It is supported in Oracle 11g.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Using Transportable database with the "FULL=Y TRANSPORTABLE=ALWAYS VERSION=12" parameters allows you to plug in an 11.2.0.3 or later non-CDB 11g database, not an 11.2.0.2.0 database.
D: The DBMS_PDB package allows you to generate an XML metadata file from a non-CDB 12c database.
This allows the non-CDB to be plugged in as a PDB into an existing CDB. However, the non-CBD is an
11g (11.2.0.2.0) database.
