I have the RMAN full database backup of oracle 10g (10.2.0.3) on Sun Solaris OS which i want to restore on oracle 11g (11.2.0.3) on Linux OS. The backup pieces was transferred to oracle 11g server manually in binary mode.

AFAIK, you cannot directly restore a database in another version, you have to restore it in the same version and then upgrade the database.

Hello Michel,

As per the document
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/compat003.htm

the lower version of RMAN client is compatible with higher version or the target database and the backup was taken through RMAN. Can there be any way out where the RMAN client is able to read the backups?

Regards,
Harsh

This is a 11.1 documentation, check in 11.2 as this is your version.

The first error tells it does not find an autobackup of the spfile in the files you copy. Are you sure you have an autobakcup of this spfile in the last 7 days?
The second error may be related to the fact the RMAN catalog is not at the same level than the RMAN binary.

Michel

Hi Michel,

The spfile is included in the 'controlfile_bkup_MEPC_c-1469445140-20120522-09' backup.The Backup was taken on May 22,2012 and i also executed the command

RMAN> restore spfile to '$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initMEPC.ora' from autobackup db_recovery_file_dest='/mepc_backup/May22fullbkp' db_name='MEPC' until time 'sysdate-70';

i still got the same error

As Michel said,
you cannot restore and recover to a higher version using RMAN.

>> As per the document ...

The document talks about compatibility between the RMAN executable and databases for backups.
Assume you did restore those backups in higher version Oracle home.
When you/rman proceed to mount and open the database, the new 11g binaries will not be happy with older 10g datafiles.
RMAN will restore the datafiles it backed up. It will not upgrade it to new version.
Give it a try.

I believe the issues you have now are different. Your post does not provide some info.
Did you use set DBID ? show it.

I would first try something like this

RMAN >  restore spfile from autobackup db_recovery_file_dest='/mepc_backup/May22fullbkp' maxdays 100;
