Oracle12c has a new feature and definition of CDB and PDB. If you first use 12c you will get confused like me. So that is necessary to know some basic definitions before you start. Oracle's official document is always the best material.
What is CBD and PDB and why introduce them?

It's a user for this PDB. You also can understand PDB as a general DB of the version before 12c.

ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.localdomain) ) ) <strong>PDBORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = pdborcl.localdomain) ) )</strong>Save and quit. Go to open this PDB again. Now you can access PDBORCL by service name.
