Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Creating a reporting DB
Dick,
I would try: steps 1 thru 4 as you stated. But then, I would:
Startup nomount;
alter database (rename the data files to the new locations).
Recover the database using the old (existing) sid name. Once it is
recovered,
issue a new backup controlfile to trace and use it to create the new
controlfiles using the new sid name.
The only difference here is recovering before the renaming. I think you lose the recoverability when you create the new control files.
Sorry - didn't see the other persons email in your mail.
Good luck!

Folks,
I'm sure that someone on the list has done this in the past or at least
can
"see the forest through the trees". I've been a little too close to this
and
lost the perspective.
Anyhow, what we're trying to do is create two replica's of our
production
PeopleSoft database on a separate machine using the hot backup method
(otherwise
known as EMC TimeFinder). Now that's two HP 9000 and three instances of
Oracle.
It does not take a wizard to understand that there is going to be a SID
conflict somewhere. SIDs around here are two characters in place and range
from
'02' to '09' (Please don't ask why, it's a VERY long story).
We start out with Dudley:02 and want to end up copying that to
Schroeder:06
and Schroeder:05. BTW, the mount points are not the same so we have to not
only
change the database name, but the file paths too. We've figured out the
file
renaming part just fine & getting the SID changed. The problem comes with
recreating the control file. Oracle recommends using the 'create
controlfile
set database 06 resetlogs' which sets the sequence in V$log to 0, but leaves
us
with a database that is looking for an archive log that does not exist.
The sequence of events we're using is:
Anybody have an idea??? BTW: We're trying to do this as a complete scripted operation that the SA can just run.
