I have a related question. How do people plan to name PDB datafiles
directories/files, when there is a plan to use the unplug/plug method for
upgrading PDB-s in the future (or at least keep the possibility to move
PDB-s to a different container)?
Using OMF does not seem like a good idea, because then PDB-s are stored
directly under CDB directories and PDB is referenced by GUID, not PDB name.
For small test environments I currently moved away from OMF and created a
separate ACFS filesystem for each PDB "flavour":
/oradata/devdb/
/oradata/qadb/
Little more manual work, but then it is easy to snapshot and clone each PDB
"flavour" independently.
But in production I would like to skip ACFS and use ASM directly, but there
OMF file naming is mandatory.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys name your CDBs and PDBs in relation to
each other?
For example, prior to 12c I might have TV Shows Databases called TVDEV,
TVTST, TVPROD.
In the CDB/PDB world, I would assume I would name my PDBs TVDEV, TVTST,
TVPROD and I would NOT have them in the same container as they would exist
on dedicated dev, test, prod servers.
So I'm what some of you guys are doing - I realize the CDB is the instance
name so for single PDB tenant databases, I would probably call both the
container and the PDB TVPROD (but I'm betting they have to be different
names?)
In a world of disparate PDBs in one container, I might call my container
MISHMASH since the container may not really relate to the individual PDBs
it contains.
