Hi All - I have a small dilemma that I'm not sure how to address...

I have a request to clone a db from prod to dev - easy enough with rman duplicate db... These are on separate hosts as well...

But, our daily rman incremental backups run at 3am and the developers need a copy of prod as of 9am the next day. And they want the dev instance to be available as close to 9am as possible...

So - I can clone a db no problem anytime up to the backup, but how do I get the additional transactions from the ensuing 6 hours into the dev instance?

Thanks... I've been looking into this for the last couple days and the additional transactions after the rman backup seems to be the problem.
