Identify the correct order of the required steps.

You are required to migrate your 11.2.0.3 database as a pluggable database (PDB) to a
multitenant container database (CDB).
The following are the possible steps to accomplish this task:
1. Place all the user-defined tablespace in read-only mode on the source database.
2. Upgrade the source database to a 12c version.
3. Create a new PDB in the target container database.
4. Perform a full transportable export on the source database with the VERSION parameter set to
12 using the expdp utility.
5. Copy the associated data files and export the dump file to the desired location in the target
database.
6. Invoke the Data Pump import utility on the new PDB database as a user with the
DATAPUMP_IMP_FULL_DATABASE role and specify the full transportable import options.
7. Synchronize the PDB on the target container database by using the DBMS_PDS.SYNC_ODB
function.

Explanation:

1. Set user tablespaces in the source database to READ ONLY.
2. From the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 {11.2.0.3) environment, export the metadata and any
data residing in administrative tablespaces from the source database using the FULL=Y and
TRANSPORTABLE=ALWAYS parameters. Note that the VER$ION=12 parameter is required only
when exporting from an Oracle Database llg Release 2 database:
3. Copy the tablespace data files from the source system to the destination system. Note that the
log file from the export operation will list the data files required to be moved.
4. Create a COB on the destination system, including a PDB into which you will import the source
database.
5. In the Oracle Database 12c environment, connect to the pre-created PDB and import the dump
file. The act of importing the dump file will plug the tablespace data files into the destination PDB
