Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g : Step by Step clone using 11g DB console.

11g OEM (I tested with DB console ) has made the cloning very easy. You can achieve this in only 6 steps. Oracle Database 11g extends the well-known duplicate database command to let you duplicate a database over the network without any need for prior backups of the source database. This feature is called active database duplication or networkaware database duplication. Using the active duplication method, you can duplicate a live or active database, with a minimal network and CPU overhead. You can perform the duplication on the same or a different server in your network. You dont need to make any copies of the source database, which saves you time and storage space. You can use active database duplication techniques to clone a database or create a standby database. We can use RMAN to achieve this. with RMAN we need to write a lot of commands.on rman , Best is to use OEM. Command line option: RMAN> duplicate database to dupdb from active database .......(+ few options)

Step 1: Login to 11g Oracle Enterprise manager. - You should be logged in as sys as sysdba and you should have the source and target OS credentials.

Step 2: Go to data movement -- > clone

Make sure that logged in as 'Sys as sysdba' otherwise you will get error. as shown in the picture here.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g : 1 Once you are logged in as SYS, You will prompted for Source host credentials.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g :2 After you have provided this information, You will be prompted for the destination credentials, Target database ,Target instance name and about the database storage options.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g : 3 Here you need to specify the OFA or Database area and Fast (Flash)recovery area

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g :4 I have opted for not installing the enterprise manager for the new database

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g : 5 You can specify if you want to execute this clone now OR at a later time. For example you can schedule this during night hours when the load on the database is least.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g :6 Here you can review and submit the JOB.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g :7 Once submited you can monitor the job.

Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g : 8. This is the easiest method for cloning,
