Oracle Database 12c: Advanced Administration — Question 19

Which two operations are NOT performed by the DUPLICATE command in RMAN while duplicating a database that is open?

Answer options

• A. creating a control file for the duplicate database
• B. restoring target data files to the duplicate database
• C. performing complete recovery by using all available backups
• D. generating a new, unique database identifier (DBID) for the duplicate database
• E. copying online redo log files from the target database to the duplicate database

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because the DUPLICATE command does not restore target data files or perform complete recovery using all available backups when duplicating a database that is open. Instead, it focuses on creating a new control file and generating a new DBID, while it may copy online redo log files.
