Hi,

�i want to duplicate a database using RMAN.
I connect to RMAN with� target,catalog & auxiliary� databases.
I used db_file_name_convert in auxiliary's init.ora.

when i issued�
run
{
allocate auxiliazry� channel ax1 type disk ;
duplicate target database to dup ; -- dup is duplicate instance
logfile
�group 1 ('e:ananthrmclredo01.f') size 100k,
�group 2 ('e:ananthrmclredo02.f') size 100k;
}

i'm getting a message like
'no backup or datafile cop found ' .

so that i took a complete backup� & tried.but the same error message continus.

How can i resolve this..

with thanks in advance
Ananth K.T

consider these :
host1: your source database is in this host
sourcedb: your source database
/backup: place where RMAN backups of sourcedb recide
dup: your duplicate (auxillary database);
you didnt mention whether u are duplicatiing the database in the same host or different host?
whatever it is, make sure that, /backup is available to the duplicate database also ( it should look like it is local to DUP database). and make sure, that the database backups are valid and obsolete backups are marked obsolete in catalog. You may have take the backups recently..but if the catalog is not updated with the unavailablity of old backups, you may end up like this. And did u backup the archived logs also?
