Control file not seeing backups after clone
I have a question regarding backups showing up in my development environment. This is my environment.
PRD1 - Production backups nightly using recovery catalog.
DEV1 - Development database cloned from production every Sunday backed up nightly using control file.
My question is as follows. I backup DEV1 every night but once the database is cloned from
production the control file no longer has any memory of its backups. Which I do not know how I would restore this backup but also since the control file is no longer aware of these backups it never cleans up the FRA. I assume this is also the case for my archivelogs and autobackups.
