Hi,

I am refreshing (cloning) a Test database with the Production database using RMAN with the following main script:
rman target sys/manager@ukznint auxiliary sys/manager@compi03 log=refresh.log << EOF
run {
duplicate target database to "compi03" from active database
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT '/data/ukznint','/mount/vol-01/data/compi03'
logfile group 1 ('/mount/vol-01/data/compi03/redo01.log') size 500M,
group 2 ('/mount/vol-01/data/compi03/redo02.log') size 500M,
group 3 ('/mount/vol-01/data/compi03/redo03.log') size 500M;
}
EOF

This is a 11 hour job to complete creating a refreshed test database on a different server from prod. However, I had to urgently extend the Prod database by adding another datafile to the 'data' tablespace. This seems to have stopped the cloning process, hanging on the new datafile I just added. Do I need to re-start the above script or is there a method/way/script to run so that the RMAN script above can continue creating the Test database?

All suggestions welcomed as this an urgent call for help.

Kind Regards
Ahmed

why is it urgent for us to solve this problem for you?

The sooner you restart this job, the sooner it will be finished.

If memory serves me correctly, add the datafile to the clone. As long as it has the same path I believe RMAN will continue. However, I may be wrong as I haven't cloned a database for a couple of years.

1) Stop the cloning if it's "hung"
2) Add channels to do cloning in parallel
3) Start cloning process, it will skip already copied files.
Good luck!
Cool
