How to force tempfile reuse when duplicating database [message #474988] Fri, 10 September 2010 11:10 Go to next message

Hi all
I can successfully duplicate a database(10gr2) when there is no already existing 'auxiliary' tempfile. Tempfile is created and available.

RMAN>RUN
{
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/db2/dbs/system01.dbf';
...
SET NEWNAME FOR TEMPFILE 1 TO '/db2/dbs/temp01.dbf';

  DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO db2;
}


But if I duplicate without deleting the tempfile, database is successfully created, but tempfile is not available:

SQL> select * from dba_temp_files ;
select * from dba_temp_files
              *
ERREUR à la ligne 1 :
ORA-01187: impossible de lire le fichier 201 car les tests de vérification ont échoué
ORA-01110: fichier de données 201 : '/db2/dbs/temp01.dbf'


I have read that locally managed tempfile should be manually recreated after a duplicate. But as duplicate is able to create tempfile if there is no already existing one when duplicating to a new database, is there a way to force a 'REUSE' if tempfile already exist when refreshing?

Tanks for help

>>I have read that locally managed tempfile should be manually recreated after a duplicate.
That was with pre-10g Oracle version. With 10g and above,
the tempfiles are automatically included.
You can use a "set newname"
or
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT

I usually "drop" the database (aux) using RMAN before duplicate and would not bother with re-using.

I tried with DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT but it's the same behaviours than "set newname": if tempfile does not exist it's successfully created. But if it already exist, it's not reused: there is a ORA-01187.
Sure i could drop the database before, I also have some other alternative solutions, but I was really curious to know if it was a bug or if this was a wanted behaviour of not reusing existing tempfile.

Not a bug. It is the intended behavior.

Ok, then it's a strange behavior Smile
Thanks for help.
