Can we get the full output? Sometimes that simply means the pfile needs to
be updated with the new control file name.

We have a client where they routinely recreate test databases by running an

They
don't backup their test databases because the belief is that we can just
recreate
them with the RMAN duplicate database script.
The script is currently failing, saying it can't find any controlfiles.
Here are the two
main commands we're using in the script.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target sys/$sys_pass@$source auxiliary /
duplicate target database to $target nofilenamecheck;
I was under the impression that the nofilenamecheck parameter means that
it doesn't
look for any files for the test database that it is going to create.
Could the error be that it can't find the production backup files to use
to run the duplicate
database command? The mount points exist, and I can see the production
files from the
test server, but it's completely possible that some link didn't get
recreated correctly....
Any thoughts?
