RE: Interesting RMAN duplicate problem.

Yes, the document mentioned by Martin (MOS note 465478.1) mentions "a hidden parameter" that can be used - I suspect this is the very one.

Unfortunately, I'd really like to open this database in a valid and no-potentially-corrupt manner. The users need a full sized testing database for performance testing of a new release (coming soon!) and if it has the possibility of being "corrupted" then it's a worthless database.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers,
Norman.
