Another option is (i'm guessing the backup is to disk): * copy the rman backup sets * start the new instance in NOMOUNT; * restore controlfile from 'backupset_name' * set newname for datafile # to '<new_path>'; * restore and recover database using backup controlfile * create redo log files * create tempfiles * open database using retelogs; if you need to set a new name, use the nid tool to rename it after the resetlogs operation. hth Alan.- On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 2:13 PM, Guillermo Alan Bort <cicciuxdba@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > you can also use the 'set newname for datafile 1 to '<new_path>'; > > This is a fun excercise, I'd suggest you try it a few times before doing it > in production, though. > > > pointers: current DB: target, > new db (must be STARTED): auxiliary > > commando: duplicate database to auxiliary; > > hth > Alan.- > > > > On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 1:03 PM, kathryn axelrod <kat.axe@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > >> Use RMAN's 'duplicate'. >> Since the directory paths are different, you will either use 'set newname' >> or 'db_file_name_convert' & 'log_file_name_convert' >> >> >> http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#BGBHBIFE >> >> >> On Wed, May 19, 2010 at 8:45 AM, KRISHNA MOORTHY < >> krish33moorthy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>> Hi All, >>> >>> How can I create a database from the RMAN backup >>> >>> 1.
