I am a newbie in RMAN.
I see in doumentation:
RMAN can perform the duplication either directly from an open or
mounted database or from pre-existing RMAN backups and copies.
I run ORCLE 10.2. I've never seen any example of duplecation either
only from an open or mounted database or from pre-existing RMAN
backups. All examples everywhere combine target and auxiliary
databases and backups.
Could somebody provide example or reference to example to separate
usage of target database or backup as a source for duplecation?
Thanks in advance
