I've been experimenting with the Replay Upgrade facility introduced in 21c, trying to get it to work in 23cFREE. As far as I can see, a 19c non-CDB plugs in OK but then it doesn't open for the upgrade and the nonCDB to PDB conversion. Trying to open it manually gives this,

Googling the error (there's nothing in MOS) says the same error was thrown when you tried to plug an SE or EE DB into XE. Has anyone found a work around for this? A way to force the open to work? I've looked at the zillions of _underscore parameters, but couldn't see anything obvious there.

Thank you for any insight.

Maybe the "_oracle_script" one which bypasses some tests?
There is also the "_oracle_special_license_1_granted" one (in 21c maybe others in 23c).
Or "_oracle_employee_testing"? Wink

I didn't know about "_oracle_employee_testing" :) but it doesn't help. Thanks anyway.
I also had a go at looking at comparing the plugin XML manifest files generated for a 23cFREE pdb and for a 19c pdb, couldn't see anything there that tells Oracle what edition the pdb came from. So I wonder how it knows? There's no controlfile, so it can't be there. Pdb_plug_in_violations looks fine, too. Something in the data dictionary, I guess. Which is why 21cFREE can plugin and mount the pdb but can't open it.

Well, it was fun trying. I'll have to install 21c, which I really didn't want to do.
