Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.1.0.6 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
PURPOSEThe scope of this bulletin is to discuss the different type of RMAN 'duplicate database' feature in Oracle 11G. This note is only applicable for oracle 11g only. In case you may want or need more about your current topic - please also access the Backup & Recover Community of Customers and Oracle Specialists directly via:
https://community.oracle.com/community/support/oracle_database/database_backup_and_recovery If you want to DUPLICATE FOR STANDBY, than check Note 1075908.1 Step by Step Guide on Creating Physical Standby Using RMAN DUPLICATE...FROM ACTIVE DATABASE SCOPEThis note is intended for DBAs and Support Personnel. DETAILSYou can create a duplicate database using the RMAN duplicate command. The duplicate database has a different DBID from the source database and functions entirely independently.Starting from 11g you can do duplicate database in 2 ways. 1. Active database duplication
2. Backup-based duplication Active database duplication copies the live target database over the network to the auxiliary destination and then creates the duplicate database.Only difference is that you don't need to have the pre-existing RMAN backups and copies.The duplication work is performed by an auxiliary channel.This channel corresponds to a server session on the auxiliary instance on the auxiliary host. As part of the duplicating operation, RMAN automates the following steps:
1. Creates a control file for the duplicate database
2. Restarts the auxiliary instance and mounts the duplicate control file
3. Creates the duplicate datafiles and recovers them with incremental backups and archived redo logs.
4. Opens the duplicate database with the RESETLOGS option
For the active database duplication, RMAN does one extra step .i.e. copy the target database datafiles over the network to the auxiliary instance A RAC TARGET database can be duplicated as well. The procedure is the same as below. If the auxiliary instance needs to be a RAC-database as well, than start the duplicate procedure for to a single instance and convert the auxiliary to RAC after the duplicate has succeeded. Scope of this note is restricted to Active database duplication . For the Backup-base duplication refer Note 259694.1 Oracle10G RMAN Database Duplication. Basic Steps to ACTIVE database duplication :1. Prepairing the auxiliary instance : 1.1 Creating initialization Parameter file for the Auxiliary instance If you are using SPFILE then only parameter required for the duplicate database is DB_NAME . Rest other parameters can be set in the DUPLICATE command itself.If you are not using the SPFILE technique, then you need to set initialization parameters to set in the initialization parameter file. Required parameters are : DB_NAME
CONTROL_FILES
DB_BLOCK_SIZE
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST In this bulletin for simplicity we are specifying all the required parameters in the pfile 1.2 Create an Oracle Password File for the Auxiliary Instance Password file is must for the Active database duplication.A password file is not required for backup-based duplication. For Active database duplication it connects directly to the auxiliary instance using the password file with the same SYSDBA password as target database. In case you are using password file make sure to have same SYSDBA password as the target database.Also you can specify the PASSWORD FILE option on the DUPLICATE command.In this case, RMAN copies the source database password file to the destination host and overwrites any existing password file for the auxiliary instance. In this bulletin we are using password file option in the duplicate command . 1.3 Establish Oracle Net Connectivity to the Auxiliary Instance Auxiliary instance must be available through Oracle Net if you are duplicating from an ACTIVE database. 1.4 Start the Auxiliary instance from Sqlplus Use SQL*Plus to connect to the auxiliary instance and start it in NOMOUNT mode. STEP S In Auxiliary server : 1. Create the parameter file . Look at the example : initTEST.ora
------------
DB_NAME=TEST
diagnostic_dest='E:\oracle'
DB_FILE_name_CONVERT=('I:\app\apadhi\oradata\amar','E:\oracle\oradata\test')
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=( 'I:\app\apadhi\oradata\amar','E:\oracle\oradata\test')
SGA_TARGET=262144000
CONTROL_FILES='E:\oracle\oradata\TEST\control01.dbf'
COMPATIBLE= 11.1.0.0.0
2. Create the database service ( only for windows ) and password file . Look at the example : % set ORACLE_SID=TEST
% set ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1
% oradim -NEW -SID TEST
% orapwd FILE=E:\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1\database\PWDTEST.ora PASSWORD=sys
For unix/Linux no need to create the service. Rest other steps are same. 3. Start the Auxiliary instance . Look at the example : % sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> exit
4. Create the necessary oracle NET connectivity in the listener.ora and the tnsnames.ora file. Look at the example : Listener.ora (on the AUXILIARY host)
------------
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = TEST)
(ORACLE_HOME = E:\oracle\product\11.1.0\db_1)
(SID_NAME = TEST)
)
)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apadhi-idc)(PORT = 1521))
) tnsname.ora (In the TARGET and AUXILIARY host)
-----------
## For the Auxiliary database TEST ##TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = apadhi-idc)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = TEST)
)
)
## For the target database AMAR ##
AMAR =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 152.69.210.76)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = AMAR)
)
)## Similary add entry for the catalog database ( Optional) Confirm the connection to both the target and the auxiliary instance using sqlplus. In this example we are creating the duplicate database from the Auxiliary server. Execute on the TARGET and AUXILIARY host
% tnsping AMAR
% tnsping TEST
2. Start RMAN and Connect to the Database Instances Start RMAN and connect to the source database as TARGET, the duplicate database instance as AUXILIARY, and, if applicable, the recovery catalog database.You can start the RMAN client on any host so long as it can connect to all of the database instances. If the auxiliary instance requires a text-based initialization parameter file, then this file must exist on the same host that runs the RMAN client application. In this bulletin we are doing duplicate database from the auxiliary server. Look at the example : % rman

RMAN> connect TARGET sys / sys @ AMAR; ## Target database ##
connected to target database: AMAR (DBID=1450838187)
RMAN> connect AUXILIARY sys / sys @ TEST ; ## Auxiliary database ##
connected to auxiliary database: TEST (not mounted)
RMAN> connect CATALOG rman / rman @ CAT ; ## Catalog database .Optional ##
connected to recovery catalog database
3. Run the DUPLICATE database command : The simplest case is to use active database duplication to duplicate the database to a different host and use the different directory structure.Look at the example : This example assumes This example assumes the following:
* Using a recovery catalog.
* The target database is on host1 and contains 4 datafiles.
* Duplicate the target to database TEST on the different host having different file structure.
* Tablespace USERS in target is read-only tablespace.
* Running duplicate database from the Auxiliary site. RMAN> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE
