While cloning using RMAN DUPLICATE command, one can convert all files from various locations to new locations by using DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT. One can also retain the same locations with no conversion by using NOFILENAMECHECK. My question is what if I want to convert some, and not convert others?

RMAN cloning from one server to another server.

I had taken the RMAN full backup (backup database plus archivelog) and restore the same with mentioned steps in the below link.

But during the recover database statment not getting completed instead its keep asking archive log file which is not existing.

I am new to Oracle, like to get clarified on below;
1. From where can we run the RMAN Clone script?
Source DB : PRDDB HOST: PRDHOST
Destination DB: DUPDB HOST: DEVHOST
Are there any constraints on running the RMAN Script from the Source DB Host - PRDHOST?
If I am running it from PRDHOST, do I have to have the initdupdb.ora available on PRDHOST?
What are advantages and disadvantages on running the script on Source & Destination Host?
Given facts:
rman is used to backup database A to disk
rman is used to put those disk backups to tape
rman is used to duplicate database A to database B on another host
the duplicate process worked fine before we started testing encryption
the duplicate process worked fine with database A having an encrypted column in one table in a non-encrypted tablespace
Now, database A has an encrypted tablespace with nothing currently in it. The duplicate process now ultimately fails with ORA-19913, unable to decrypt backup.
I am not using encrypted backups, not specifying encrypt or decrypt anywhere in the duplication process. The only thing that is encrypted is the one tablespace in database A. I have the same wallet files on Host A (database A) and Host B (database B). Wallets are open. So why does the duplication process fail because the backup cannot be decrypted?

How to prevent the error of RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown archived log for thread with sequence and starting SCN of while performing the RMAN Active Cloning? I do NOT want to use UNTIL clause.
We have a script which uses the duplicate functionality of RMAN. It was designed for a standalone database. Now I need to make it work for a cluster DB (RAC installation).
1. Does RMAN support this?
2. Do I need to make separate executions for both the nodes of the cluster?
We are currently blocked because we have no way of getting our system running without this!

Now we have contrary error messages. Target DB name ADVFRW does not work, because on the target nodes there are configuration files for the node specific DB names (ADVFRW1.ora on first node resp. ADVFRW2.ora on second node). But with the node specific DB name the script fails, because it does not match with the DB name of the source system.

Performing backups on the physical standby via RMAN. We need to restore our test database, and right now it is equivalent to the production. The DUPLICATE command seemed the best bet. We have controlfile and SPFile both on Auto-backup, and the RMAN on a six day retention with weekly 0 level backups and nightly level 1 cumulative backups.
However, when I run the DUPLICATE it chokes being unable to find a current controlfile nor one in backup, even though we have six days worth of supposedly good (validated) backups. We are not using a catalog, rather the DB controlfile.
The solution to this error is reopen the database and try again. however, the physical standby cannot be opened. It is the standby. What if we move the last backup to the primary database, "register" it there, and try this DUPLICATE?
I have seen nothing on this in my searches, and the Oracle documentation does not address this, though it recommends backup from the Physical Standby.
RMAN-05513 is the error code.
I want to duplicate a prod database in to a dev db.I am using catalog database to connect to target and auxiliary datbase.I copied all backupsets to the local disk on Dev env in the correct path.For RMAN duplicate ,does the backuppeices need to be present on PROD filesystem as well or just DEV filesystem or both.

In initnewdb.ora, I should add :
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure if necessary.
#DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/,/u01/app/oracle/oradata/NEWSID/)
#LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/,/u02/app/oracle/oradata/NEWSID/)

1-In my case would it be :

#DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(\remoteserver:/u01/app/oracle/oradata/DB11G/,/u01/app/oracle/oradata/NEWSID/)

I am running into a strange issue with a restore of an RMAN backup into a duplicate database,.
1). I restored the control file from a recent backup.
2). restored the datafiles ( about 800)

able to utilize "RMAN Restore of Backups as Part of a Database Upgrade [ID 790559.1]" and duplicate an 11.1 PRD DB to another server that only has the 11.2 software. When I attempted this, I got an error since the target DB is a earlier version than the rman client - "RMAN-06429: TARGET database is not compatible with this version of RMAN".
I tried to avoid connecting to the target database & just use the following syntax (duplicate 'prd' DBID 123456789 to 'dev') to let rman know about the backups it would need from NetBackup.
That also got an error - RMAN-01009: syntax error: found "single-quoted-string": expecting one of: "database, for, target, to". I tried other variations, but also got errors.
I may try this from a disk based backup, but have to wait to get a large enough NFS mount to be able to complete this. The following syntax was in the 11.2 rman docs:
DUPLICATE DATABASE 'PROD' dbid 8675309 to 'TEST'
UNTIL TIME "to_date('11/01/2007', 'MM/DD/YYYY')"
BACKUP LOCATION '/backups' NOFILENAMECHECK
PFILE='?/dbs/inittest.ora' db_file_name_convert='prod','test';
Our goal is to not have to install the 11.1 software on our new servers. Also, trying to avoid restoring with the same name & then renaming the DB so that ASM would have multiple directories for the DB.

How can we tune our RMAN Duplicate as it was taking 10+ hours to finish. Current production database size is 800GB. Approx duration of rman online backup (FULL, including archived logs) is 4 to 5 hours.
Here's the rman backup script we used:
sql 'alter system archive log current';
list archivelog all;
run
{
show all;
report schema;
backup database plus archivelog delete all input;
}
exit
Here's the rman duplicate command we used:
run
{
set until time "to_date(to_char(sysdate,'Mon DD YYYY') || ' 02:30:00', 'Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;
duplicate target database to testdb;

I want to remove matching dbid's from the rman catalog without compromising te integrity of the catalog. I do however know a single way of removing them and its using the dbid and db_key which in my case are not not unique. The funny thing is they've running normally for a year now.
