It is a common request to create a duplicated database from a production database. This can be easily achieved using the RMAN DUPLICATE command. Using the RMAN DUPLICATED command, the DBA can create a duplicate database from a target database's backup while still retaining the original target database. While it is possible to create a duplicate database that contains only a subset of the original database (by tablespace), this article will demonstrate how to create a completely identical database. Using this method allows you to test backup and recovery procedures as well as exporting data such as a table that was inadvertently dropped from the production database, and then importing it back into the production database.
Pre-requisites
A valid full database backup of the target database

Steps Required
1. Create Password File for Auxiliary Database
$ orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapwTESTDB password=change_on_install
2. Create an Initialization Parameter for the Auxiliary Database
Copy the initialization parameter from the target database and make the necessary changes for the duplicated database.
$ export ORACLE_SID=ORA920
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> create pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/initTESTDB.ora' from spfile;
File created.
After creating the initialization parameter for the duplicate database, change at least the following parameters:
db_file_name_convert = ('/u06/app/oradata/ORA920', '/u06/app/oradata/TESTDB')
log_file_name_convert = ('/u03/app/oradata/ORA920', '/u03/app/oradata/TESTDB',
'/u04/app/oradata/ORA920', '/u04/app/oradata/TESTDB',
'/u05/app/oradata/ORA920', '/u05/app/oradata/TESTDB')
control_files = '/u03/app/oradata/TESTDB/control01.ctl'
, '/u04/app/oradata/TESTDB/control02.ctl'
, '/u05/app/oradata/TESTDB/control03.ctl'
db_name = 'TESTDB'
instance_name = 'TESTDB'
audit_file_dest = '/u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/adump'
background_dump_dest = '/u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/bdump'
core_dump_dest = '/u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/cdump'
user_dump_dest = '/u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/udump'
service_names = 'TESTDB.IDEVELOPMENT.INFO'
dispatchers = '(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=TESTDBXDB)'
log_archive_dest_1 = 'location=/u06/app/oradata/TESTDB/archive mandatory'
3. Create / Start the Auxiliary Instance
Create all needed directories for the duplicate database:
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/adump
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/bdump
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/cdump
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/create
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/pfile
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/scripts
$ mkdir /u01/app/oracle/admin/TESTDB/udump
$ mkdir /u03/app/oradata/TESTDB
$ mkdir /u04/app/oradata/TESTDB
$ mkdir /u05/app/oradata/TESTDB
$ mkdir /u06/app/oradata/TESTDB
$ mkdir /u06/app/oradata/TESTDB/archive
$ export ORACLE_SID=TESTDB
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> startup nomount
4. Ensure Oracle Net Connectivity to Auxiliary Database
Modify both the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file to be able to connect to the auxiliary database. After making changes to the networking files, test the connection keeping in mind that you must be able to connect to the auxiliary instance with SYSDBA privileges, so a valid password file must exist.
$ sqlplus "sys/change_on_install@TESTDB as sysdba"

5. Mount or Open the Target Database
As mentioned in the pre-requisites section of this article, the target database should be either opened or mounted.
$ export ORACLE_SID=ORA920
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> startup open
6. Ensure You Have the Necessary Backups and Archived Redo Log Files
As mentioned in the pre-requisites section of this article, ensure that you have a current backup that you wish to use to create the duplicate database. Login to query the RMAN catalog:
$ rman target sys/change_on_install@ORA920
RMAN> list backup summary;

8. Run the RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE Command
The following RUN block can be used to fully duplicate the target database from the latest full backup.
Note that you can duplicate the database to a specific date/time using the UNTIL TIME '
duplicate target database to TESTDB until time 'SYSDATE-1';.
export ORACLE_BASE=/ora1/ora9i
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/9.2.0.4.0
export ORACLE_SID=ora9i
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
run {
# Allocate the channel for the duplicate work
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;
# Duplicate the database to TESTDB
duplicate target database to TESTDB;
}
