Refreshing production copy database regularly using production archives
Hi,
I have copy of production database on another server and is UP and running. I want to sync this copy of production regularly. Would like to know the steps( if possible in bit detail) to be followed. Here is my guess :
- copy the latest control file and all required archive logs from production to prod copy database server.
- Mount the instance with latest control file.
- Catalog all the copied archive logs
- Recover the database
- Open the database with reset logs
If no issue with steps above, need more detailed information/steps for 4) and 5) as I am not clear with actual steps. Do we need to recover with "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" ?
