Point In Time Recovery (PITR) of a Pluggable Database (PDB)
In oracle 12c, a PITR can be performed at PDB level as well just as a PITR for a non-CDB. This post demonstrates on how to perform a Point In Time Recovery (PITR) of a Pluggable Database (PDB).
RMAN backups, in oracle 12c, can be taken either of a complete CDB or of a specific PDB or just of a ROOT. Backup taken of a CDB includes the ROOT, SEED and all the PDBs of that CDB. To proceed with, I’m taking a level 0 backup of the CDB.

We can see that the Incarnation SCN of CON_ID 3 (PDB1) was started at 1720082 on “9th September 2015”.
Here is a case where all the datafiles of the PDB1 were accidentally removed. This prevents me from starting the PDB1.

To add up, even some of the latest archive logs that weren’t backed up too were deleted. The latest archive log sequence generated by the database is 91 but what I could see is that I have the archive logs only until log sequence 80. The remaining 10 archives (from log sequence 81 to 91) have gone missing.

Let me perform a PITR of PDB1 until log sequence 80. Connect RMAN to the CDB and issue “restore pluggable database <pdbname>” and “recover pluggable database <pdbname> auxiliary destination <dest locn>” command to restore and recover a particular PDB from the backup taken at the CDB level.
While recoverying a PDB, include the “auxiliary destination” clause if FRA is not configured. Also make sure that there is enough free space available in the FRA. If not, then use the “AUXILIARY DESTINATION” clause to specify a temporary location.
When a PITR is performed, all the data files of the PDB are recovered until the time / sequence / SCN that is specified. But, as we know, that the Undo tablespace in 12c architecture is shared by all the PDBs, it’s not possible to recover Undo tablespace for a specific PDB alone. As a result, RMAN creates a dummy database under the FRA location (if FRA isn’t configured, then RMAN creates the dummy database in the “auxiliary destination” location) by restoring all the datafiles of the ROOT (SYSTEM, SYSAUX and UNDO specifically) and then uses the undo information to recover the PDB.
Here is how it works. Connect RMAN to the CDB and restore/recover the required PDB. Make sure that the PDB is closed by performing the PITR. In my case, it’s already crashed. I’m using “/u03/temp_pdb” as an auxiliary destination.
