Using RMAN to Clone a Running Database

edited Aug 20, 2021 11:23AM in Technology Stack - EBS (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
When you need to clone a database but cannot get the downtime on the source instance to manually copy the database files, there is a new option in RMAN (11g and up) called "active duplicate". This option allows you to create a clone from your source instance (must be in ARCHIVELOG mode) while it is running and does not require the presence of, or access to, any RMAN backup. This feature is awesome!

If you are cloning an EBS instance you will have to use the manual database cloning steps in the advanced options section of the cloning note.
