Pluggable database (PDB) online may timeout when started after container database (CDB)

Last published : Sep 11, 2026

PDB may take long time to start when it is started for the first time after starting CDB. As a result, the PDB online initiated using VCS may cause ONLINE timeout and the PDB online process may get cancelled.

Workaround: Increase the OnlineTimeout attribute value of the Oracle type resource.
