I am trying to restore a single tablespace in rman. Restoring from asm to file system. I am comfortable with the set newname command below, but I am not sure about the syntax for the restore database skip tablespace section followed by the logfile section. The old logfiles arent available because we are on new hardware on a file system instead of asm. Has anyone done this, or have any idea if this syntax will work? run{ set newname for datafile 1 to....; . . . restore database skip tablespace USERS, ts1, ts2, ts3 logfile GROUP 1 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_01.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 2 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_02.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 3 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_03.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 4 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_04.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 5 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_05.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 6 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_06.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 7 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_07.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 8 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_08.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 9 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_09.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000, GROUP 10 ( '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/oradata/redo_10.dbf' ) SIZE 2097152000; } -- Andrew W.
