Duplicate Database from RMAN Backup
Seven Steps for Duplicate Database :
Step 1) RMNA Backup (Prerequisites)
Step 2) Create Password File
Step 3) Create Directory Structure
Step 4) Create Pfile
Step 5) Start Database in nomount Stage
Step 6) Run Duplicate Database Command
Step 7) Verify Duplicate Database
Step 1 RMAN Full database backup required (Prerequisites)
If database is in non archivelog mode then Shutdown the database and open in mount stage then take database backup i.e.RMAN > backup database;
If database is in archivelog mode use command i.e. RMAN > backup database plus archivelog;
Backup Database using following command
Backup Database
-bash-4.1$ rman

RMAN> connect target sys/sysdba123@orcl
connected to target database: ORCL (DBID=1611723298)
RMAN>
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog;
Step 2 Create a password file for the duplicate instance.
Copy Source database password file and rename it to new database password file
Go to directory: /mnt/devops_0/Oracle/db1212/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/dbs/
$ cp orapworcl orapwduporcl
Step 3 Create directory structure for Duplicate Database
Login with user db1212
Following directories need to be created
– DupOrcl
– Oradata
– Fast_recovery_area
– Diag
– Adump
Following are sample commands
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/adump
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/oradata
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/oradata/duporcl
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/fast_recovery_area
-bash-4.1$ mkdir /mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/diag
-bash-4.1$
Step 4 Create Pfile with few parameters.
Login with db1212
Create Pfile with following parameters
Go to directory: /mnt/devops_0/Oracle/db1212/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/dbs/
Parameters as below for initduporcl.ora,
*.audit_file_dest='/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/adump'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.compatible='12.1.0.2.0'
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_create_file_dest='/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/oradata/duporcl'
*.db_name='duporcl'
*.db_recovery_file_dest='/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/fast_recovery_area'
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=4560m
*.diagnostic_dest='/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/diag'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
Step 5 Start Database in nomount stage.
-bash-4.1$ export ORACLE_SID=duporcl
-bash-4.1$
-bash-4.1$ echo $ORACLE_SID
duporcl
-bash-4.1$
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.

Step 6 Run Duplicate Database command.
$ rman auxiliary /
$ DUPLICATE DATABASE TO duporcl
SPFILE
set control_files='/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/oradata/duporcl/control01.ctl'
set DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='/mnt/devops_0/OrclNew/oradata/orclnew/','/mnt/devops_0/DupDB/DupOrcl/oradata/duporcl/'

Following is the log for above command for future references.
