Where will it go and find /read the files from ? ..........it will look in the same dest on the target as was specified on the source Steve Montgomerie PeopleSoft/Oracle Administrator SIEMENS Shared Services, LLC 4400 Alafaya Trail, M/S AL-222 Orlando, FL 32826 Phone: 407 487-5219 Cell : 407 810-8387 Fax: 407 487-5833 -----Original Message----- From: H elp_me [mailto:good_dba@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 8:40 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RMAN Recovery without Catalog Hello All, NOTE : This is Recover a databse on ANOTHER node using RMAN WITHOUT Recovery Catalog. I am trying to recover and create a database from Host A to Host B Here are the steps.. I found in oracle documentation but am confused a bit.. 1. Copy the control file using OS copy utility. 2. Copy INIT File using OS copy utility. 3. connect with rman to target with nocatalog rman target sys/pw@host_b[1] nocataclog startup mount; now allocate appropriate channel and all that.. restore database; recover database; alter database open resetlogs; My doubt here is .. how will RMAN get the files ? Where will it go and find /read the files from ? Let me know if someone has performed NOCATALOG RECOVERY and has steps documented which work.
