This topic describes how to toggle the Generate new DBID upon refresh option for Oracle VDBs.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Delphix CLI.

  2. Go to source.

    delphix> source

  3. Select the VDB that you need to update 

    delphix> source select 'VDBOMSRE71EE4_QGE'

  4. Toggle new DBID value. The new DBID value can be true or false. If the newDBIDparameter is set to false then the new DBID generation will stop.

    delphix source VDBOMSRE71EE4_QGE> update
delphix source VDBOMSRE71EE4_QGE> set newDBID=<new value>

  5. Finally, commit the changes to save the changes.

    delphix source VDBOMSRE71EE4_QGE> commit

  6. Refresh the VDB through CLI to generate a new DBID if the newDBID parameter was set to true. If the newDBID parameter was set to false, the Delphix engine will use the same DBID as the parent.

    delphix> /database
delphix database>  select 'VDBO_QGE'
delphix database 'VDBO_QGE'> refresh
delphix database 'VDBO_QGE' refresh> commit
