Restore RMAN backup to different file system.
Is there a tutorial or HOWTO describing the process of restoring from an RMAN backup to a machine with a different file structure?
Recently a development server was reconfigured to have multiple instance of the production database. Unfortunately the procedure for restoring the new configuration from a production backup was never updated and the responsibility for fixing it has fallen to me.
I've tried db_file_name_convert but that balks at the restore database command -- I guess it only works with dataguard. I can create symlink for the original path to the new path and get restored but once the symlink is deleted, Oracle (correctly) complains about missing files.
