Mahesh,
Just one simple answer , I hope this does not confuse you
1. If i get connect and take the backup of the local target DB with no catalog using RMAN , I use
$rman target /
This works .
2 . If I want to duplicate my target DB with RMAN using NOCATALOG what would I be giving .
This is the only answer I'm expecting Mahesh . Please help me out .
Regards,
Raj

No I am not confused, but spoonfeeding will effect your learning curve. Everything is already in docs.
That is why i asked you to refer docs.
You need to understand basics before proceeding to anything with backups.
This code
will work based on ORACLE_SID defined.
Whatever instance is defined in ORACLE_SID will be backed up.
ORACLE_SID will always point to one unique instance.
If you want to connect to other instance, use tns entries.
All these are said in my first response
and
also from the piece of documentation that i have requested to look into.
quoting docs
| Quote: | *
Task 1: Create an Oracle Password File for the Auxiliary Instance
*
Task 2: Establish Oracle Net Connectivity to the Auxiliary Instance
*
Task 3: Create an Initialization Parameter File for the Auxiliary Instance
*
Task 4: Start the Auxiliary Instance
*
Task 5: Mount or Open the Target Database
*
Task 6: Make Sure You Have the Necessary Backups and Archived Redo Logs
*
Task 7: Allocate Auxiliary Channels if Automatic Channels Are Not Configured
|
Had you actually read the said link, you might have come across
ask 7: Allocate Auxiliary Channels if Automatic Channels Are Not Configured
| Quote: |
Start RMAN with a connection to the target database, the auxiliary instance, and, if applicable, the recovery catalog database. You can start the RMAN client on any host so long as it can connect to all the instances. If the auxiliary instance requires a client-side initialization parameter file, then this file must exist on the same host that runs the RMAN client.
In this example, a connection is established to three instances, all through the use of net service names:
% rman TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt CATALOG rman/cat@catdb AUXILIARY SYS/oracle@aux
|
[/QUOTE]
Where trgt is your target (source database) and aux is your auxillary database.
As said before, only difference is you are not using catalog.
so
You need to use
rman TARGET SYS/oracle@trgt nocatalog |

Hello Mahesh,
I did try to do an RMAN clone of my target DB, but this time using a Catalog DB . The steps what I did was
1. took an RMAN backup using a catalog DB by giving
$rman catalog rman/rman target sys/sys@totgt
[b]RMAN>backup database include current controlfile plus archivelog;[/b]
It worked and after that I did send all my RMAN backup pieces to my auxiliary instance and also created a same directory structure and next I gave
2 . [b]$rman catalog rman/rman target sys/sys@totgt auxiliary sys/sys@toaux
[/b]

Can you help me in rectifying my mistake . All the backups which are present in target location are also present in Auxiliary location also.

>>I did send all my RMAN backup pieces to my auxiliary instance
What do you mean by that?
Is the AUX instance residing in another server?
I assume you have all filesystem perms all set. Did you also copy archives?
The aux instance does not need to be with the same directory structure.
Where are you executing these scrips from?
Typically "dorecover" option is used only in standby databases (still it is not relevant to error you get).
I would configure controlfile autobackup (search this forum/google/docs on how to) and try again along with TSPITR duplication.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb006.htm#sthref1308
And format your code.use CODE AND /CODE tags
