RMAN Restore backup of lower version database to a higher version
In this article, I’m demonstrating on how to restore a backup of 11.2.0.2 database on 11.2.0.3 version. Basically, this post demonstrates on how to restore a database backup of lower version on a higher version.

The steps involved is quite simple and is jus the traditional restore and recovery operation. The only additional step in this would be to not open the database with RESETLOGS after recovery, but instead open the database with RESETLOGS UPGRADE clause after the recovery operation.
Opening the database with just RESETLOGS would terminate the instance and would write the message that the database needs to be opened in upgrade mode in the alert log. Once the database is opened with RESETLOGS UPGRADE option, follow the usual process of manual upgrade of the database.
Let me demonstrate this with an example.
I create a simple PFILE with just “DB_NAME=testdb” entry in the target host and start the instance in NOMOUNT.

Now let me begin with the restore activity. First with the restore of SPFILE from the backup and then the controlfile.

Once the controlfile is restored, mount the instance and catalog the backup pieces (if the backup pieces are stored on a different location in the target server than the location it was originally taken on the source host).

Now open the database with “ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS UPGRADE” command.
If you would try opening with just “ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS”, then it might fail with the below error.

Now start the target database normally and look out for any INVALID objects. Compile them by running the UTLRP.SQL script.

Add tempfiles to the database based on the requirement.
Conclusion:
It’s possible to restore backup of lower version database on a higher version provided the minimum version matrix matches (Refer MOS for the version matrix).
RMAN duplicate from lower version to higher version does not allow, because it automatically tries to open the database with resetlogs after recovery. So until 11gR2, this can be done through the traditional RMAN restore and recovery operation. Please note that, the database needs to be opened with RESETLOGS UPGRADE option after the recovery.
RMAN duplicate in 12c has an option which allows to not to open the database automatically after the recovery. Let’s discuss on this in coming posts.
