Error while duplicating a database

[kt_ananth]

Hi,

i want to duplicate a database using RMAN.
I connect to RMAN with target,catalog & auxiliary databases.
I used db_file_name_convert in auxiliary's init.ora.

when i issued
run
{
allocate auxiliazry channel ax1 type disk ;
duplicate target database to dup ; -- dup is duplicate instance
logfile
group 1 ('e:\ananth\rmcl\redo01.f') size 100k,
group 2 ('e:\ananth\rmcl\redo02.f') size 100k;
}


i'm getting a message like
'no backup or datafile cop found ' .

so that i took a complete backup & tried.but the same error message continus.


How can i resolve this..

with thanks in advance

Hi,
Try resyncing the catalog after the backup.
RMAN>resync catalog;

Thanks

just to confirm...

You must copy your backupset to auxiliary host with same file structure:

e.g

scp a.file oracle@aux:/rman/backupset


Target Host: /rman/backupset/


Aux Host: /rman/backupset/


Hope it would help

regards,
