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.

Hello;
What could be the cause for the spfile missing?
This :

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 :

and with different directory structure :

Is it possible to install and run RMAN remotely ?

Is it possible to install and run RMAN on a separate remote network-connected platform from the platform of the Oracle DB instance with which RMAN was initially installed without any additional licensing ?
I.e. is it possible to copy the RMAN executable and any required libraries to the remote platform and successfully run RMAN on the remote platform to backup the Oracle DB instance with which RMAN was initially installed without any additional licensing ?
This is using RMAN with a recovery catalogue in the target database control file.
Thanks,
Brett.

Hi Kostya,
Depends on what you mean. Default the SOA Suite installs a Oracle Lite database to use for hydration storage. So default there is no real database and therefore you can not install ApEx. But you can configure the SOA Suite to use a "normal" database, and then you can use ApEx.

In addition to what was said, I can think of two other possibilities for RMAN-6054 during duplicate: bugs such as 12625205 (also see 8554110); duplicate was run earlier without removing the old restored files (Note 1549172.1). In the first case, just specify SCN or find the actual log file and speficy log sequence, instead of time. In the latter case, remove the old restored files or speficy noresume.

Duplicate Problems (RMAN is looking at the wrong backup)

We are running into a problem when we try to duplicate our database. Here is the process we use to duplicate:
delete old backup files (we only use RMAN for cloning so we don't need them)
set prod db environment variables<run rman
connect target sys/####;
backup database;
exit;
set test db environment variables<shutdown test database, rename test db folder (in case we missed getting something important out) create a new folder for test db.
start test db (nomount)
rman
connect target sys/####@PROD
connect auxiliary sys/####@TEST
run
allocate auxiliary channel disk1 type disk;
duplicate target database to TEST;
we get this error:
channel disk1: reading from backup piece E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1
ORA-19870: error reading backup piece E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1
ORA-19505: failed to identify file "E:\RMAN\PROD\BKUP_PROD_610891176_1"
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
failover to previous backup
The backup file RMAN is trying to read is the backup from our previous clone. How can I tell RMAN to look at the backup we just made?
I've run "list backup;" and the most recent backup is shown there. We've run into this problem a couple of times now, but not everytime. I can't find any rhyme or reason for why it works or fails but the process is the same sometimes we can just wait a half-hour or an hour and it works. Anyone have any ideas that could help?
BTW - We aren't using a recovery catalog.

In Regarding to Rman

Hi,
There is client requirement to confiquire rman on all development environments.
The prodcution and preproduction environment Rman confiquired by third party vendor and the team who are supporting production and preproduction are reluctant to share the setup document.
I have being supporting only the development environments.I am new to rman setup.
Now the requirement from third party,To perform cloning from prodcution to test environment, rman should be confiquired on all development environments. Can you please shed some light on how to enable/confiquire this on development environment.
With Regards,
Srini

Two Questions(RMAN & TEMP. TBS)!!

Hi all,
I have Production DB of which i want to take Backup from a remote machine with RMAN.
i connected to Production DB with NOCATALOG option from remote machine
now i want to configure Rman setting..
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'E:\oracle\oradata\RMAN\ORA_BACKUP%T_s%s'
So the backup file will be stored on which Machine on RMAN(remote machine) or Production DB?
Secondly
my Temporary tablespace data file has grown to 2 GB..
but the objects are stored temporary on this file..after a restart the segments are released from the Temporary TBS(from Data files)..so why even after this it still is of 2GB?
Thanx in Advance!!

Hi,
Thanx for reply.
The real RMAN process runs on the target machine, so backups are stored >>there, not on the machine from which you connect. this is the case where i connect with NOCATALOG option.
but what if connected with Catalog option..then Backups of Prod. DB will be stored
on my machine from where i'm connected to Prod DB...?
i think it will store on my pc.(i.e. from where i'm running RMAN utility)
Thanx in Advance!!

Got the Answer
from RMAN Docs.
Nevertheless, maintaining a recovery catalog
is strongly encouraged. If you create a catalog on a separate machine, and if the
production machine fails completely, then you have all the restore and recovery
information you need in the catalog.

Do any Windows Frontends exist for RMAN?

We have Oracle 8.1.7 running on AIX, but our workstations are all Windows-based. Does such a tool exist to manage RMAN remotely from a Windows machinge with a GUI frontend? We are in the middle of testing a new system, so frequent backups and restorations are needed.

-- Cameron You can install the oracle client software on the windoze client. Run the OEM (oracle enterprise manager)
and from there you can access the backup manager. {on the server side first use the emca to create the repository and then use the command oemctrl start oms to start the oracle management server)
