create duplicate database using rman

create duplicate database using rman

You want to use RMAN to create a duplicate database on the same server by using RMAN backups.

My Source Database Name is MYTEST

Target (duplicate) Database name is MYDB 

Step 1: Configure Listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files

tnsnames.ora file

MYTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = mytest)
)
)

MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = mydb)
)
)

listener.ora file

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = mytest)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = mytest)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME= mydb)
(ORACLE_HOME = /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1)
(SID_NAME = mydb)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost.localdomain)(PORT = 1521))
)
)

Step 2: create pfile for target database from source database

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

File created.

Step 3: modified parameter file for target database (duplicate) here log_file_name_convert and db_file_name_convert and control file location is important, further your choice.

*.audit_file_dest=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/mydb/adump’
*.compatible=’10.2.0.1.0′
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_domain=”
*.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
*.db_name=’mydb’
*.control_files=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control01.ctl’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control02.ctl’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb/control03.ctl’
*.db_file_name_convert=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/mytest’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb’
*.log_file_name_convert=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/mytest’,'/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/mydb’
*.db_recovery_file_dest=’/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area’
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=2147483648
*.dispatchers=’(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=mydbXDB)’
*.job_queue_processes=10
*.open_cursors=300
*.pga_aggregate_target=94371840
*.processes=150
*.remote_login_passwordfile=’EXCLUSIVE’
*.sga_target=285212672
*.undo_management=’AUTO’
*.undo_tablespace=’UNDOTBS1′

Step 4: Create password file

[oracle@localhost ~]$orapwd file=orapwmydb password=oracle entries=5

Step 5: start your target database nomount stage

[oracle@localhost ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=mydb
[oracle@localhost ~]$ rlwrap sqlplus
