ON LINE CLONING Here i am using two databases one is production database and another database name is clone .

this clone database is in another server that is user200@server1. here we require one production database and from other side just software should be need to create a clone database. so my production database is in server3@user112 [user112@server3 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=prod [user112@server3 ~]$ sqlplus '/as sysdba' SQL> startup mount SQL>alter database archivelog; SQL> archive log list; Database log mode Archive Mode Automatic archival Enabled SQL> alter system switch logfile; SQL> alter system switch logfile; [user112@server3 ~]$ mkdir backup SQL> alter database begin backup; Database altered.
