Active Database Duplication

Active Database Duplication Method

I write this on Duplicating the primary database on a Different server with same file locations.

Pre-Requirement

Create a  source database on one server and then replicate it on another server.

Edit tnsnames.ora  on primary server & stand by server.You will have to create static listener.
DB11G is primary server(Source)
DB11G_STBY is the new server.(Target)



DB11G =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dguard1)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = DB11G)
    )
  )

DB11G_STBY =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dguard2)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = DB11G)
    )
  )

Now You want to create static listeners.

On Source Machine 

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = DB11G)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
      (SID_NAME = DB11G)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dguard1)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )

ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /u01/app/oracle

 On Target  Machine

SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = DB11G)
      (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
      (SID_NAME = DB11G)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dguard2)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
    )
  )



Then start the listeners on both servers.

then go to rman command.

os > rman target sys/oracle@DB11G AUXILIARY sys/oracle@DB11G_STBY


This will connect to source database from the target database.

DUPLICATE DATABASE TO DB11G
FROM ACTIVE DATABASE
  SPFILE
  NOFILENAMECHECK;

This will restore the database on target server.Opens with Read write mode
