Fix Recommendation

If any components are required for operation of applications that will be accessing the DBMS, include them in the system documentation.

Components cannot be removed via Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) or manually once the database has been created, either from a container or a noncontainer database.

However DBCA can be used to create a noncontainer database and remove components during the creation process before the database is created.

When using DBCA to create a custom noncontainer database, select:
creation mode = advanced
Database Template = Custom
Database Options..Database Component

Components that can be selected or deselected are Oracle JVM, Oracle Text, Oracle Multimedia, Oracle OLAP, Oracle Spatial, Oracle Label Security, Oracle Application Express, and Oracle Database Vault.

For a container database (CDB), the CDB$ROOT must have all possible database components available. When a pluggable database (PDB) is plugged into the CDB, the CDB must have the same components installed as the PDB. Since it is unknown what components the PDBS may have, the CDB must be able to support all possible PDB configurations.

Components installed in the CDB$ROOT do not need to be licensed. Components are only considered to be used if they are installed in the PDB.

To configure a PDB to only use specific components:

1. Create a non-CDB 19.0 database and configure that database with the components desired.

2. Plug the non-CDB database into a CDB database, creating a new PDB. Then if desired, create additional clones from the new PDB.

Check Contents

Run this query to produce a list of components and features installed with the database:

SELECT comp_id, comp_name, version, status from dba_registry
WHERE comp_id not in ('CATJAVA','CATALOG','CATPROC','SDO','DV','XDB')
AND status <> 'OPTION OFF';

Review the list. If unused components are installed and are not documented and authorized, this is a finding.
