Oracle 11g RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE

Hello Friends, 


Happy New year !!!


This is my first post in 2011 year. [ may it's long time for me]. Now this is the time to share with you guys for Oracle 11g stuff. 


I would like to RMAN Backup / Recovery features in 11g. This will help you all to understand about oracle rman features in 11g { but not like oracle documentation :-) }


RMAN DUPLICATE DATABASE. 


In duplication database here is the three new features.


1. Duplication without a target database connection. Rman obtains metadata about backups from recovery catalog. 


2. Duplication without a target database connection and with out recovery catalog connection. Rman obtains metadata about backup from BACKUP LOCATION.


3. Duplication with a target database connection. Rman obtains metadata about backups from control file / Recovery catalog. 


let me test duplication database without a target database & without recovery catalog.
