Create a Refreshable Clone for an Autonomous Database Instance
Shows you the steps to create an Autonomous Database refreshable clone from the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:
-
Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the next to Oracle Cloud.
- From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle Database and then, depending on your workload click one of: Autonomous Data Warehouse, Autonomous JSON Database, or Autonomous Transaction Processing.
-
On the Autonomous Databases page select your Autonomous Database from the links under the Display name column.
To create a refreshable clone do the following:
On the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console the State shows Provisioning... until the refreshable clone is available.
After the provisioning completes the Lifecycle state shows Available and the Mode is Read-only.
After you download the wallet for the refreshable clone and connect to the database, you can begin using the database to perform read-only operations such as running queries or building reports and notebooks.
When automatic refresh is disabled, after you create a refreshable clone, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure console shows a banner similar to the following with a message indicating the date prior to which the next refresh must be completed (the banner shows the 7 day refresh limit).
See Refresh a Refreshable Clone on Autonomous Database for details on refreshing a refreshable clone.
