Run the DBMS_CLOUD.PREPARE_FOR_AUTONOMOUS procedure on the source database to ensure compatibility
Migrating via Data Pump to Autonomous Database requires using a secure connection wallet and running pre-migration compatibility scripts.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Run the DBMS_CLOUD.PREPARE_FOR_AUTONOMOUS procedure on the source database to ensure compatibility
Why this is correct
Correct. This procedure checks and flags incompatible objects or configurations.
- ✓
Download and configure the database connection wallet on the host executing the Data Pump utility
Why this is correct
Correct. The wallet is required for secure mTLS connection to the Autonomous Database endpoint.
- ✗
Disable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) on the source database before export
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. TDE status on the source has no impact on logical Data Pump exports.
- ✗
Manually format all source datafiles into Oracle ASM disk groups prior to export
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Data Pump is a logical export/import tool; physical disk formatting is unnecessary.
- ✗
Configure a direct NFS mount between the source server and the Autonomous Database storage tier
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Direct NFS mounting to Autonomous Database storage is not supported.
