Hi
Note: I'm still testing RMAN and not using it If you have more than one database managed by the same repository you need to somhow tell RMAN which database to duplicate. Connecting to the one to duplicate sounds like an option. Also RMAN is capable of duplicating upto the current time isn't it? Than it needs the online logfiles no??

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 08-04-2002 18:57 Please respond to ORACLE-L Tim Gorman wrote For a DUPLICATE DATABASE operation, you don't have to connect to the TARGET at all, if I recall correctly; a DUPLICATE DATABASE operation doesn't involve the TARGET. Sounds funny, until you consider that the operation is reading from tape to the new AUXILIARY database instance. However logical all that sounds Tim, it is incorrect. For some bizarre reason when duplicating a database you have to have 3 connections open (assuming you have a recovery catalogue) The target (which I prefer to call source), the auxiliary (which is the target in my view) and the catalogue. I have raised this question before with Oracle and I did get an answer as to why you still needed to connect to the target database. I cannot remember what the answer was but I though it pretty weak at the time.
