For almost five years, I have used RMAN very minimally.
Luckily, learning RMAN is like learning to ride a bike. One may not be able to perform wheelie, but one does not forget.
Please allow me to share the details on how to restore database to a new server, new database name, and new location using RMAN.
Summary:
At source, database is using OMF and backup is located at /oradata/backup.
At target, database is not using OMF and backup is copied from source to /oradata/bkup.
Database was renamed from SAN to DB02.
Detail’s here
