REPLACE LOCAL DATABASE WITH REMOTE DATABASE RMAN BACKUP

User_M3KZ4Jul 26 2017 — edited Jul 31 2017

Hello,

I am attempting to replace an existing OL6 12c single ASM instance database (target db) with a full backup from

a OL6 11gr2 single ASM instance (source db).

I moved my full RMAN backup to the target server and ran the RMAN catalog start command so I could

register the source remote RMAN backup on the new physical server but when I run the command:

RMAN>CATALOG START WITH '/xxxx'

RMAN refuses to register/catalog this backup with the following RMAN error  RMAN-07518:

***************************************

List of Files Which Were Not Cataloged

=======================================

File Name: /u02/app/oracle/oradata/dataces/rman/aces_backup_dd_950292090_50326_1

  RMAN-07518: Reason: Foreign database file DBID: 3119808711  Database Name: xxx

***************************************

What steps do I need to take so that I can successfully register this remote RMAN backup so I can

use it to replace the target local database with this remote source database?

(I am just looking to replace this target database with this source database - any

suggestions/instructions/docs would be much appreciated.)

Thank you for your assistance,
