Method 1. File Copying
Start the SE2 in read only mode, create the non-CDB descriptor file and shutdown.

no compatibleAs seen from the output the compatibility fails. Look in the PDB_PLUG_IN_VIOLATIONS and if the cause for warnings are due to missing options then the incompatibility is ignore-able (2020172.1).

SQL> select tablespace_name,status from dba_tablespaces order by 2,1; TABLESPACE_NAME STATUS ------------------------------ --------- UNDOTBS1 OFFLINEThis is due to the fact that both non-CDB and CDB where it's plugged having the same name for undo tablespace and undo tablespaces are not local to PDB but common to entire CDB.
