RMAN Example: Duplicating Oracle Databases

Duplicate an Oracle database.

Before You Begin

1. If you run the RMAN script on a UNIX environment, relink the SBT library or use PARMS in the Allocate Channel Command.

2. To redirect data files, specify the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT init parameter in the PFILE.

3. Optional: To have the CommCell Console authenticate the job, configure the parameters for CommCell Console third-party job authentication.

Procedure

• On the RMAN command line, run the following sample script, substituting any required or optional Oracle SBT parameters.

  For information on required and optional SBT parameters, see SBT Parameters.

  run { 
  allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape';
  allocate auxiliary channel ch2 type 'sbt_tape';
  DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO dupdb;
  PFILE = /dup/oracle/dbs/initDUPDB.ora
  NOFILENAMECHECK; 
  }
