Creating an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP)
This topic guides you through the steps for setting up an Oracle Intelligent Policy (OIP). An OIP is used with Oracle CDB and PDB databases, Oracle Copilot, and regular Oracle database instance backups. This method precludes the need to create scripts for your Oracle policies.
