Hi all,
This is just a note for you that are now fully into database upgrades. As you may know, the Database Vault (DV) option could be reported as not installed in source when converting non-CDB to PDB, and the target CDB has the option installed. However, be aware that is not supported to remove DV option in multitenant (singletenant included) environments.
From Doc ID 2380950.1:
IMPORTANT: Never run dvremov.sql on a container database (CDB) / Multitenant environment. Doing so will cause serious problems when upgrading the PDBs.
In case you run dvremov.sql in a 12.1 multi-tenant DB, then the only option you might have is to restore the database to the state before running dvremov.sql. Assuming you have this backup, of course.
So stay sharp! 😀
