Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Resuming an aborted RMAN database duplication
OK now that I've RTFM'ed Robert's 10g RMAN Backup & Recovery book
(which I've had on my shelf for almost a month), I see this:
"With RESTORE OPTIMIZATION turned ON, RMAN will not restore files again that already exist in the restore location with the same datafile header SCN information. This applies to duplication as well: if duplication restores a file, and then duplication restarts, RMAN will not restore the file again. However, if you have applied even one archive log to the file, it will be restored again."
Other reference material (Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide) indicate that RMAN will ALWAYS behave that way, and don't mention a changeable parameter regarding "restore optimization". My target instance does have "BACKUP OPTIMIZATION" on. However I'm running the duplication from the host of the auxiliary instance, which has no prior RMAN configurations.
The log indicates to me that it was still applying incremental backups, not yet doing archivelog recovery. Here's it the log snippet before failure:
channel aux8: starting incremental datafile backupset restore
channel aux8: specifying datafile(s) to restore from backup set
... list of datafiles ...
channel aux8: reading from backup piece /rman/bvig5trp_1_1
... messages showing channels being released ...
RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: ===========================================================RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 04/27/2007 13:31:10 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script

Any thoughts?
Also on page 485 of the Freeman/Hart 10g book, there is a typo resulting in "ORALCE_HOME". ;)
