As Jared pointed out to me, I should have posted what the problem turned out to be instead of just saying that I realised what was wrong - oops !!!  

Anyway, the example in my first post below was a poor one anyway.  

my original filename was more of the form  

/u01/oradata/DB1/DB1file01.dbf
 

I wanted it to end up like  

/u01/oradata/DB2/DB2file01.dbf
 

So basically my init.ora parameter should have been as follows.  

db_file_name_convert=(/u01/oradata/DB1/DB1,/u01/oradata/DB2/DB2)  

Cheers and apologies Jared :-)

	Subject: RMAN duplicate database
	
	
	Hi,
	 
	Oracle 10.2.0.3
	AIX 6
	 
	I ran a duplicate database yesterday from an RMAN tape backup.

This was to basically copy a backed up database to a new one on the same box. Although I specified the new file name for logs and data files in the new init.ora file, and they were placed in the correct directories, I was wondering if there was an automated method for changing the actual filenames as well.          

        e.g          

        Original filename was          

        /u01/oradata/DB1/fileDB1.dbf          

        Once restored into duplicate database it became          

        /u01/oradata/DB2/fileDB1.dbf          

        Is it possible to ensure automatically that the file name itself changes from DB1 to DB2 as well ?          

        Apologies if this is easy but I have looked at the manuals etc and cannot see anything ?          

        Regards          

        Lee
