11.2.0.1 Clone to an Oracle 11.2.0.3 database server.
I have done the following steps:
On the 11.2.0.1 DB Server:
1. alter database backup controlfile to trace.
2. Copied the file created from step #1 to the new db server /tmp/create_database.sql
3. Shutdown the database
4. Copied all the datafiles to the new db server.
On the 11.2.0.3 DB Server
1. Modified /tmp/create_database.sql to reflect the following:
Changed the 1st line to be :
create controlfile set database <sid> resetlogs
Changed the directory path of the datafiles.
2. Created all the required directories (bdump,cdump,udump)
3. Copied our "CM" controlfile to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
