> -----Original Message----- > I'm trying to duplicate a DB from host A to host B using RMAN If nobody with the genuine expert answer replies, here is something I have done that worked. Maybe not official. But it worked. I think it is getting ready to create a new control file. I've had it break at this point. I didn't have time to set up orange cones and yellow police tape and stand around with the boys trying to arrive at the official diagnosis. So I just created a new control file myself, then recovered the database using backup controlfile until cancel. Then, upon successful completion of the cancel based recovery, open the database resetlogs. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
