Duplicate a Database
Using RMAN in
Oracle Database 12c
Release 2
Description:-

This is the article which will guide you step-by-step Duplicating a Database Using RMAN in
Oracle Database 12c Release 2

SOURCE DATABASE (ORCL):

Step1:-Copy the password file to target database 

oracle:dbs] scp orapworcl oracle@clone:$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwclone

orapworcl 100% 3584 3.5KB/s 00:00

Step2:-Create pfile from SOURCE database for TARGET database

SQL> show parameter spfile;

NAME     TYPE    VALUE
———————————— ———————
spfile    string /oradb/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db_1/dbs/spfileorcl.ora

SQL> create pfile from spfile;

File created.

Step3:-Copy the pfile to the target database

[oracle@orcl:dbs] scp initorcl.ora oracle@clone:$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initclone.ora

initorcl.ora 100% 1095 1.1KB/s 00:00

TARGET DATABASE:
 Step 4:-Create required directories in the TARGET location

Create adump,datafiles and logfiles location

mkdir -p /oradb/app/oracle/admin/clone/adump
mkdir -p /oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone/

Step 5:-Edit the db_name and necessary directories name in pfile.

 Edit db_name to new database name

 Add the below the entries for datafiles and logfiles creation

*.db_file_name_convert=’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/orcl’,’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone’
*.log_file_name_convert=’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/orcl’,’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone’

vi initclone.ora (PFILE Target Database Clone)

*.audit_file_dest=’/oradb/app/oracle/admin/clone/adump’
*.db_file_name_convert=’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/orcl’,’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone’

*.log_file_name_convert=’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/orcl’,’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone’

*.control_files=’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/clone/control01.ctl’,’/oradb/app/oracle/oradata/
clone/control02.ctl’

*.db_name=’clone’

Step 6:-Set the Environment for CLONE database,

clone()
{
ORACLE_HOME=/oradb/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/db_1
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE=/oradb/app/oracle
export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_SID=clone
export ORACLE_SID
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib:.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
export LIBPATH
TNS_ADMIN=${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
export TNS_ADMIN
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
export PATH
}

Step 7:-Open the CLONE database in NOMOUNT state using modified pfile,

SQL>startup pfile nomount=’$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initclone.ora’

ORACLE instance started.

Variable Size 1040188240 bytes
Database Buffers 553648128 bytes
Redo Buffers 8155136 bytes

Step 8:-Configure the listener & tnsnames on both server

cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

LISTENER ENTRY:

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orcl.localdomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = clone.localdomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
)

TNSNAMES ENTRY:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = orcl.localdomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.localdomain.com)
)
)

CLONE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = clone.localdomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(out = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = clone.localdomain.com)
)
)

RMAN Active Duplication:

NOFILENAMECHECK: If you want the duplicate filenames to be the same as the target
filenames, and if the databases are in different hosts, then you must
specify NOFILENAMECHECK

db_file_name_convert: This parameter specifies from where to where the datafiles should be

cloned.

log_file_name_convert:This parameter specifies from where to where the redo logfiles should
be cloned

Connect as auxiliary database to create a new database in TARGET location

[oracle@clone:admin clone] rman target sys/oracle@orcl auxiliary sys/oracle
