Hello list,=20 I'm trying to duplicate a DB from host A to host B using RMAN, after = dealing with the directories stuff (having the backup files in the same = path as the original) I tried once again to run the process, from host = B, but after creating the DB and restoring the datafiles in host B, = after finishing media recovery it hangs up.. and then crashes without = creating the redo logs. -this is the last entry to the log file --> media recovery complete Finished recover at 15-JUL-04 printing stored script: Memory Script { shutdown clone; startup clone nomount ; } executing script: Memory Script -I'm monitoring the process with this query: select sid, serial#, context, round(sofar/totalwork*100,2) "% Complete", substr(to_char(sysdate,'yymmdd hh24:mi:ss'),1,15) "Time Now", elapsed_seconds, opname from v$session_longops; -and when the process hangs, the query displays this: 31 6288 0 100 040715 14:50:58 43 Hash Join 12 9025 13 100 040715 14:50:58 0 RMAN: aggregate = output 16 14826 0 100 040715 14:50:58 10 Hash Join 18 10860 44 100 040715 14:50:58 288197021 !/=FF=F9'??=B1'?? 29 4292 44 100 040715 14:50:58 288202572 !/=FF=F9'?=A3t'?? I don't know what are the last two rows. After a couple of hours the = process stops. This is my script: CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO = 'F:\ORACLE\oradata\TESTING\datafiles\SYSTEM01.DBF'; CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO = 'F:\ORACLE\oradata\TESTING\datafiles\UNDOTBS01.DBF'; . . RUN { ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux1 DEVICE TYPE DISK; ALLOCATE AUXILIARY CHANNEL aux2 DEVICE TYPE DISK; SET UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-1'; DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO 'testing' LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\REDO01.LOG', 'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\MAINFILES\BCK_REDO01.LOG') SIZE = 50M, GROUP 2 ('D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\REDO02.LOG', 'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\MAINFILES\BCK_REDO02.LOG') SIZE = 50M, GROUP 3 ('D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\REDO03.LOG', 'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TESTING\MAINFILES\BCK_REDO03.LOG') SIZE = 50M; } CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 CLEAR;=20 CONFIGURE AUXNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 CLEAR;=20 . . Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Any ideas?
