Using RMAN to restore database with a different name on same machine

in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

I wanted to clone a current running environment and create a new one on the same machine using a different name.

I am used to perform this activity frequently but it is restoring to a different machine. I tried to use the same method but hitting with a problem saying the control file which I restored belongs to the source DB while the new DB is a different name. I understand why it's prompting the error, however how do i workaround it?

Usually when I restore the DB to a different machine I'm taking the below steps

  1. Set oracle sid as sourceDB

Howdy, Stranger!
