Provision from replicated data sources or VDBs
Action required: The Continuous Data UI, API, and CLI are scheduled for end of life. Review the latest migration guidance and start planning your transition to Data Control Tower.
On new engine installations of 2026.5.0.0 and later, the Admin UI opens directly to the Performance Dashboard, and the Manage, Resources, and System menus are unavailable. Engines upgraded from an earlier version keep full Admin UI access. This restriction cannot be changed by customers; contact Delphix Support if you need it lifted temporarily.

This topic describes how to provision from a replicated dSource or VDB. The process for provisioning from replicated objects is the same as the typical VDB provisioning process except for the need to first select the namespace containing the replicated object.
Prerequisites
You must first do the following:
-
Replicate a dSource or a VDB to the target host, as described in Replication overview.
-
Add a compatible target environment on the target host as described in Overview of provisioning Oracle virtual databases.
-
Install on the target host any App Data plugin on which the replicated objects depend.
Procedure
-
Log in to the Delphix Management application for the target host.
-
Click Manage.
-
Select Datasets.
-
Select the replica that contains the dSource or VDB to be provisioned.
-
The provisioning process is now identical to the process for provisioning standard objects.If the dSource or VDB belongs to a plugin, the plugin must exist on the target engine to be successfully provisioned. The target's plugin's version must also be equal to or higher than the source's plugin's version. For more information see the Delphix engine plugin management topic.
Post-requisites
Once the provisioning job has started, the user interface will automatically display the new VDB in the live system.
