I Have Oracle Database 10g (10.2.0.1.0) on Windows Server 2003
I have taken full hot RMAN backup of database.
I have copied the backup files from flash recovery area.
I have one other Machine having windows server 2003 And Oracle 10g Same version. I have copied the backup files from first machine to Flash Recovery Area folder on second machine.
Now i am trying to restore the database of first machine to second machine.
1. I have created a new instance on second machice with same name as in fiirst machine.
2. I have created one ORA password file as well.
3. SET ORACLE_SID=<name of DB as it was in first machine>
4. RMAN TARGET sys/<password given in newly ORA pwd file>@<DB name> nocatalog
5. SET DBID=<dbid of old database>
6. STARTUP NOMOUNT FORCE
7. RESTORE SPFILE TO PFILE '<path of new pfile>' from '<path where backup files are there>';
8. CREATE UDUMP,BDUMP,CDUMP,PFILE,ORADATA FOLDERS where required;
9. SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
10. STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE='<path of newly created pfile>';
11 RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM '<path of backup files>';
12. ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
Everything work fine till here
Now my next step was
13. RESTORE DATABASE;
Then it gives error like:-
RMAN> restore database;
Starting restore at 20-NOV-08
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=375 devtype=DISK

RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
Firstly i copied backup files to flash recovery area, then i copied files to 'D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database' as well. Because i have done it in 9i, in 9i i copied the backup files to this backup folder then while doing restore RMAN succesfully takes file from this folder & restores the database. but in 10g RMAN is not recognising the path of backup. How this problem can be solved? Or is this some different problem which i am not getting?
Waiting for reply..
