====Configuration of the Destination====

After the backup files have been copied, then we have to perform duplication as follows:

Ensure that the database is dropped and started in NOMOUNT state
<sxh>
SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount exclusive restrict

ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1.0689E+10 bytes
Fixed Size 2237776 bytes
Variable Size 6241127088 bytes
Database Buffers 4429185024 bytes
Redo Buffers 16924672 bytes
Database mounted.


SQL> drop database;
</sxh>


After that the SPFILE/PFILE should be modified so it will reflect the replica server and the database started in NOMOUNT mode:

<sxh>
SQL> startup pfile='/home/oracle/textpfile' nomount;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 4275781632 bytes
Fixed Size                  2235208 bytes
Variable Size            2298479800 bytes
Database Buffers         1962934272 bytes
Redo Buffers               12132352 bytes
</sxh>


From the recovery Manager, duplicate the database using the backups which were copied:
