Edit Automatic Refresh Policy for Refreshable Clone

When you enable the automatic refresh option a refreshable clone automatically refreshes from the source database at regular intervals. By default, automatic refresh is disabled and you must manually refresh at least once every 7 days.

The edit auto refresh settings dialog allows you to enable or disable automatic refresh for a refreshable clone. When automatic refresh is enabled you can change the automatic refresh options.

Note

The automatic refresh option is only available when the source database uses the ECPU compute model.

Perform the following prerequisite steps as necessary:

  • Open the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console by clicking the navigation icon next to Cloud.

  • From the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure left navigation menu click Oracle Database and then click Autonomous Database.

  • On the Autonomous Databases page select your Autonomous Database from the links under the Display name column.

To edit auto refresh options:

  1. On the clone source, on the Details page, select the Refreshable clones tab.
  2. In the Refreshable clones list, under Display name, select a refreshable clone.
  3. On the refreshable clone, in the Clone information area, in the Automatic refresh field click Edit.

    This shows the Edit automatic refresh policy pane.

  4. Select or deselect Enable automatic refresh to enable or disable automatic refresh for the refreshable clone. When Enable automatic refresh is selected, you can modify the options:
    • Frequency of refresh: specifies the refresh frequency in hours or days. The minimum is one hour and the maximum is 7 days. The default Frequency of refresh value is 1 hour.
    • Data lag: specifies the data lag in minutes, hours, or days, the minimum is 0 minutes and the maximum is 7 days. This is the value that specifies the amount of time behind the source that the data refresh is, where a value of 0 specifies that the refreshable clone refreshes to the latest available timestamp. The default Data lag value is 0.
  5. Click Save.
