We have weekly database refreshes going on. I am looking to automate RMAN duplicate based refreshes with a script. We don't have the Provisioning pack license to perform this with Cloud Control. I am sure this is a common task at most sites with RMAN backups. I was wondering if anyone here is kind enough to share their automated RMAN backup scripts with me? I found a nice starting point here but perl is not my strong suite to customize it for my use. http://oratux.com/2011/02/22/automated-rman-refresh/ TIA, Karthik Ramadoss DBA Lead - Accident Fund -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
