Copying a database from one machine to another.....
This may be trivial!...
I would like to copy one database to another machine. The database needs to be called the same, and the other machine is a failover box.
The database is an 11.1.0.7.0. database running on Linux-x86_64. The source and target machines are the same spec.
The database is to be copied from live.
The database does not run in archivelog mode.
There is one other database (again a copy of a live database, but updated by archivelogs every 30 mins) on the failover box.
The backup strategy of the source database is a dp export of one schema. To refresh the dev databases the user(schema) is dropped, and this backup export is dp imported into the dev schema.
