Active Database Duplication in 11g

RMAN has the ability to duplicate, or clone, a database from a backup or from an active database. It is possible to create a duplicate database on a remote server with the same file structure, a remote server will a different file structure or the local server with a different file structure.

Active database duplication requires that the auxiliary instance have a password file.  This is because the source database will be connecting directly to the auxiliary database, requiring a password file.  One other key is that you want to use the same SYSDBA password as the source database . Also the destination server requires static listener configuration in a "listener.ora" file. 

Active Database Duplication
Oracle 11g introduced the ability to create duplicate databases directly without the need for a backup. This is known as active database duplication. The process is similar to the backup-based duplication, with a few exceptions.First, and most obviously, you don't need a backup of the source system, but it does have to be in ARCHIVELOG mode.
Here i done my experiments in the same machine .

Note:- 
  • Auxiliary instance must be available through Oracle Net if you are duplicating from an ACTIVE database.
  • Rman automatically creates  a default server parameter file for the auxiliary instance if the  auxiliary instance was not started with a server parameter file.
