Hi, I am trying to create a physical standby using RMAN. I took a cold backup, along with controlfile for standby. When I run the script to create standby, I am getting rman-06024 and rman-6026, even though the controlfile for standby exists. The script to take backup: run { allocate channel d1 type disk; backup format '/RMANBKUP/data/bohr/STDBY/df_t%t_s%s_p%p'database; sql 'alter system archive log current'; backup format '/RMANBKUP/data/bohr/STDBY/al_t%t_s%s_p%p' archivelog all; backup current controlfile for standby format '/RMANBKUP/data/bohr/STDBY/PROD/sb_t%t_s%s_p%p'; release channel d1; } create standby script: ------------------------------ RUN { set newname for datafile 1 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/system01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 2 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/undotbs01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 3 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/indx01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 4 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/tools01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 5 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/users01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 6 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/mgmt.dbf'; set newname for datafile 7 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/mgmt_ecm_depot1.dbf'; set newname for datafile 8 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/sysaux01.dbf'; set newname for datafile 9 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/mgmt01.dbf'; set newname for tempfile 1 to '/ORA_OEM/data/OEMRMAN/temp01.dbf'; set until sequence = 12 thread = 1; allocate channel C1 device type disk; allocate auxiliary channel C2 device type disk; duplicate target database for standby; } The error stack: RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 03/15/2007 19:58:04 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore RMAN> **end-of-file**
