Section 2, Task 1: Customize and Verify Your Test PDB
This task walks you through planning which variables to keep in your production PDB. It also walks you through implementing
decisions in the test PDB, checking the test PDB, and adjusting the test PDB until you are satisfied with your choices. In the task
after this one, you will make a production PDB from the customized test PDB.
Prerequisites
1. You have a printed copy of the table definition(s).
It is convenient to have a copy of all the table definition(s) that are in your PDB in front of you as you step through the
actions in this task.

In the log window, IT Service Vision displays a copy of the table definition (and of the table’s variable
definitions).
