Hello,
I have to duplicate a production instance to have a test instance.
I don't want to use import/export features, because it's long and
complicate.
So I do that,
I duplicate all files, (instance down of course)
Specify new control file on INITprod.ORA,
Mount the database,
Rename all files using copied files.
Open the database.
rename database using : ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO test
Close the Database.
Respecify original control files for INITprod.ORA,
Create a new init file (say INITtest.ORA) for the new Database.
It seems to work, I have after less than 1 hour the two databases running
together on the same system.
But, for the new init.ora (INITtest.ORA), I have to specify DB_NAME=prod,
the same as in INITprod.ORA.
I'm not sure that will not cause any problem.
Any help ?
