Okay, I'll try it - but this is a direct quote from the documentation:

"RMAN duplication has the following restrictions. You cannot: Use image copies located on one host to create a duplicate database on a new host.
You must either use tape backups or create the image copies in the same file location in the new host. "

Maybe I'm reading this wrong... Maybe it's saying that the RMAN executable is not able to relocate files to different hosts on its own (the files must be copied by FTP or RCP)...?

But, if someone out there's done it, it's worth a go.

I'll give it a go and see what happens. Received on Thu Sep 22 2005 - 13:41:51 CDT
