dbca needs a template file to create a database. These template can be found in $ORACLE_HOME/assistants/dbca/templates.
We will use here the default New_Database.dbt template file to create a container database named UXOCDB with one PDB on ASM storage with DATA and FRA diskgroups.
DBCA will install all database components when it is created as container database.
