RMAN database cloning

1)While cloning using RMAN when we say " duplicaicate target database to testdb" will RMAN apply archives which are not archived (uning "backup database archivelog all") or not.
2) Why do we need to connect to the target (rman target=prod@toprod auxillary=/ catalog=cat@tocat ( i.e source db... this db we are cloning form).
we have the backup of the backup's in a say NFS mout and we have info about backup in the catalog?

Hello;
Dan's version question is important because Oracle 11 has many additional duplication options.
That's said if you copy the archive to the remote server it will use them in both Oracle 10 and 11.
Here's my Oracle 11 - Duplicating a Database to a Remote Host with the Same Directory Structure short notes :
http://www.visi.com/~mseberg/rman/active_database_duplicating.html
and with different directory structure :

RMAN Active cloning successful, but spfile found to be missing

I have been advised below as workaround;
1. Create spfile or pfile from memory and bounce the db to fix this issue.
2. RMAN Active clone script specified with the the pfile clause.
For example.
duplicate target database to testDB from active database file=/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db/dbs/inittestDB.ora; Would appreciate the advise on this.

This :

Rman remote cloning...

I want do a Rman remote cloning..so i need to have full backup copy of the database on the local remote system with all archive logs too....so can u please tell me how can i list the rman to copy the list of files to be cloned on the remote system...and also how can we use the dd command on the network system???

Partial EBS Database Cloning

Hi
Is it possible to have a cloning strategy of bringing over a small percentage of data to the non-prod environments during the database cloning process for an EBS Env? Say 50% in Test and 25% in Dev.
If possible this would cut down on long-term storage cost and data liability, but I am not sure if this is possible. If possible then I would like to understand the amount of effort how this would be implemented.
Has anyone done this? Any pointers will be much appreciated. We are on R12.1.3 with HR and Payroll.
Thanks

ThanksRapid Clone doesn't support partial cloning.
One of the options would be cleaning/purging the data on the target instance once the full/complete clone is done -- Search the forum for cleaning/purging and you will get many hits.

What is the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?

Hi,
Can anybody tel me the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?
I Have some conflicts in these topics.
Thanks
Rajesh

Refresh is what it says, "refresh" . You have a main site which would always have the data being inserted into it. There would be another site which would remain some where else . This site needs to be refreshed with the primary site. So you need to do export from the primary, push it to the secondary site and done!

Database Cloning or Software Cloning

Hi,
Can anyone explain what is database cloning & software cloning available in oracle 10g ?
With Regards
Kccrga

In addition to the above replies.
Let's say you have a Production database (PROD) is running on Linux/Unix Server (AAA). Here you wanna clone your database and Oracle Home (Oracle Software Direcotries) from Server AAA to server BBB. Oracle Home cloning is nothing but software cloning.
Software Cloning: This can be done only once until and unless any Oracle Patch applied on it.
Database Cloning/Refresh: This needs to be done whenever the updated datais required in the test/developement databases from production.
Software Staging: This can be done once when we install Oracle Software. It means that we need to copy the Oracle Software CDs in one area on the server for the future installation of the same software.

Database cloning listner

how to create listner for the auxiliary instance in database cloning
i am doing the database cloning in the same system
plz give the solution

850914 wrote:

plz give the solutionIf they are on the same system you don't need a listener specifically for the axillary instance.
One listener, with the default name of LISTENER, running from one oracle home, listening on a single port, will serve multiple database instances of multiple versions running from multiple homes. It is an unnecessary complexity to try to have multiple listeners or to name the listener as if it belongs to a particular database or client. That would be like the telephone company building a separate switchboard for each customer.
