This will be ridiculous to hardcode this kind of information. So if my system crashed and I had to import a full export into a new machine, it's not going to work?!!

I do not believe this could be true.

Hi,

Does anyone know whether I could duplicate the Oracle HRMS Applications using the same methods as described ? I understand that some of the Oracle Applications tables hardcode the server name etc. Has anyone done it before ? I need to migrate my production Oracle HRMS Apps database to a more powerful machine.

TIA Regds,
New Bee

		Subject:	RE: How to duplicate production database
onto development box

                Is there any need to create a standby database in this case? My procedure

                for copying production to development is:

  1. alter database backup controlfile to trace; (in production)
  2. Restore a production backup (either hot or cold) to the development server
  3. Update database name and filenames in the controlfile script from step 1, as required
  4. Run script from step 3 on development server to create new controlfiles
  5. Recover new development database up to desired point in time using archived redo from production
  6. Open the new development database with resetlogs

                This approach allows me to rename the database and the datafiles (if the

                datafiles need to be placed differently on the development server than in

                production, for example) in one step, rather than manually renaming 50+

                datafiles in a standby database, and then recovering, activating, and

                renaming that database.

		I use a hot backup to create a standby database then apply
logs to the point
		I want to get a copy of production of a specific time.

		Then you can rename the database if you want to.

		Just copy the files over and recreate the control file.

		Hi!
		We want to put an exact copy of our production database
(approx. 200 GB)
		onto a development box. What would be the best way to
achieve this?
		Export/import would take kinda long... ;)
		Would transportable tablespaces be the way to go?
		This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
		Thanks,
		Helmut
