CLONING ORACLE DATABASE USING HOT BACKUP

In HOT database cloning, database must be in archivelog mode and NOT required to shutdown the database.
Source database name : sham
Clone database name : rose
Source database path=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sham/
Clone database path=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/rose/
CREATE DIRECTORIES FOR ADMIN LOG FILES

$ cd /u01/app/oracle/admin
$ mkdir rose
$ cd rose
$ mkdir adump bdump cdump pfile udump dpdump
CREATE DIRECTORIES FOR PHYSICAL FILES
$ cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/
$ mkdir rose

DIRECTORIES FOR CLONE DATABASE

I am cloning rose database to another database called sham. So I have created necessary directories for clone database. Admin
related files are placed under admin directory. CRD (*.dbf, *.ctl, *.log) files are maintained under oradata directory. Intialization
parameter will be placed under $ORACLLE_HOME/dbs directory.

COPYING ARCHIVELOGS FROM SOURCE FRA DESTINATION TO CLONE FRA DESTINATION

CREATING CONTROLFILE SCRIPT

The word 'REUSE' needs to be changed to 'SET'. The database name needs setting to the new database name (if it is being
changed). You can decide whether the database will be put into archivelog mode or not.
Remove any lines that start with -Remove any lines that start with a #
Remove any blank lines in the 'CREATE CONTROLFILE' section.
Remove the line 'RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE'
Remove the line 'ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
Remove ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE, etc...

Recovery operation can be done by following SQL command.

SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until canel;
NOTE: Type CANCEL to end the media recovery.
OPEN CLONE (ROSE) DATABASE
Open the clone database with RESETLOGS option.
Now clone (ROSE) database is ready to work.

Now we can crosscheck sham schema in

source database. If sham schema having same objects in (source & clone) database ,

we done clone 100% successfully. Lets check.
