Here
is a complete example of duplicating an 11g database on the same
machine (Linux) using the new, aforementioned active database
duplication:
1. Create any needed directories
mkdir /u03/app/oracle/oradata/duptest
mkdir /u03/app/oracle/admin/duptest/adump
2. Create hard-coded network entries for your new, auxiliary database
Addition to SID_LIST_LISTENER in listener.ora:
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = duptest.colestock.test)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6)
(SID_NAME = duptest)
)
Addition to tnsames.ora:
DUPTEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = rac2.colestock.test)(PORT = 1523))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = duptest.colestock.test)
)
)
3. Create a passwordfile for new, auxiliary database (this MUST match the TARGET)
cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
orapwd file=orapwduptest password=password
4. Create 'dummy' parameter file for auxiliary instance
[/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6/dbs nf@rac2]$ more initduptest.ora
db_name=duptest
control_files=/u03/app/oracle/oradata/duptest/control01.ctl, /u03/app/oracle/ora
data/duptest/control02.ctl, /u03/app/oracle/oradata/duptest/control03.ctl
5. Add relevant entry to oratab on non-Windows environments
[/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6/dbs nf@rac2]$ grep duptest /etc/oratab
duptest:/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6:N
6. 'Nomount' the auxiliary instance in preparation for duplication
[/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6/dbs duptest@rac2] $ export ORACLE_SID=duptest
[/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6/dbs duptest@rac2] $ . oraenv
[/u03/app/oracle/product/db/11.1.0.6/dbs duptest@rac2] $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

7. Duplicate the database using RMAN
rman target=sys/password@nf auxiliary=sys/password@duptest
duplicate target database to duptest
2> from active database
3> db_file_name_convert '/nf/','/duptest/'
4> spfile
5> parameter_value_convert '/nf/','/duptest/'
6> set log_file_name_convert '/nf/','/duptest/'
7> set log_archive_dest_1='';
If successful, you should see output similar to the following:
