ORA-65353: The undo tablespace is missing from the XML metadata file.
Generally, lower version non- CDB cannot be both converted and upgraded to a PDB at the same time.
Example: If 12c non-CDB should be upgraded to 19c PDB, then
- Either upgrade 12c non-CDB to 19c non-CDB and then convert to PDB
- Or convert 12c non-CDB to 12c PDB and then upgrade to 19c
Let us try anyways to convert a 12c non-CDB to 19c PDB
