RMAN ACTIVE DATABASE DUPLICATION IN SAME SERVER | ORACLE 11g

RMAN CLONING IN SAME SERVER

RMAN has the ability duplicate a database from a backup or from an active database. Using RMAN
possible to create a duplicate database on a remote server with the same directory structure and
different directory structure or else the local server with a different directory structure.
Oracle 11g has introduced active database duplication, we can create a duplicate of the target
database without any backups. Duplication is performed over the network. Let us do active database
duplication in same server with different directory structure.

Create an init.ora from the source database & rename the pfile (init.ora) file. Make all necessary

$ export ORACLE_SID=hrms
$ cd

Password must be same on Target database & Auxiliary database. When you connect RMAN to the
Source database as TARGET, must specify a password, even if RMAN uses OS authentication.
SET THE SAME PASSWORD OF CLONE DATABASE INTO THE TARGET DATABASE

DUPLICATING TARGET DATABASE
In order to clone with the source database open and must be on archivelog mode. From 11g we can
clone databases using the from active database option. In this case we do NOT require an existing
backup, the active datafiles will be used as the source for the clone.
