Hi,
I am sure lot of people might have faced this problem. From what i have
researched so far, RMAN does not support duplication (i am not talking
restore here, but duplicate clone) between different version of oracle.
So if you have a very critical system, then obvious thing to do would be
upgrade dev, then test , then production. But let's throw another
complication into the picture, if lot of your dev and test instances are
refreshed from production RMAN backup on a daily basis. Then you can't
really upgrade dev/test first and leave production, until your testing
is finished. RMAN does not allow duplicating a database from older
version to newer version.
Though there is a procedure to restore database and then
upgrade/downgrade
eg.
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs upgrade/downgrade;
now follow the downgrade/upgrade steps;
As anyone found any way of duplicating database using RMAN from say
10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4?
