Hi!

Im trying to restore a spfile to pfile.

The RMAN backup is written to disk:


connect catalog rman11cv/password@metarep
connect target sys/password@DATABASE 
run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\BackupDB\%U';

backup AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
 incremental level = 0 
 filesperset = 10 
 database  
 include current controlfile spfile  ;
}

run {
ALLOCATE CHANNEL disk1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'G:\BackupDB\%U';

sql "alter system archive log current";
 backup AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
 filesperset = 5 
 (archivelog all delete input );
 backup current controlfile spfile  ;
}

exit;


The logfile looks a little strange. RMAN writes to a strange location: D:\ORACLE\ORA10.2\DATABASE\C-2179021406-20110804-00??


connected to recovery catalog database

connected to target database: db (databaseID=2179021406)

But when I try to restore the spfile to a pfile:

4> Restore spfile to pfile 'Y:\restore\pfile.ora';

I look at: D:\oracle\ora10.2\database\C-2179021406-20110804-01 and it exists.

But why have RMAN written to that location and how do I do to be able to restore my spfile?

>>why have RMAN written to that location

RMAN trying to take backup in default location. Instead of specifying the location in channel you need to configure your location by using the below command. 
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/disk1/backup/%U';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/disk2/backup/%U'; 
CONFIGURE CHANNEL 3 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/disk3/backup/%U'


Refer Here

>>how do I do to be able to restore my spfile?

Try this

RESTORE SPFILE TO 'new_location' FROM AUTOBACKUP;

>>why have RMAN written to that location
Because you have your RMAN Configs with control file autobackup on
and
RMAN will backup the controlfile backup in default location that is
$ORACLE_HOME\database for windows
and
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs for unix.
You need to manually issue
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '\here\wherever\yourwant\%F';
