amazing doc below is the scenario i faced.

nid target = / DBNAME = TARGETDB

NID-00111: Oracle error reported from target database while executing
begin dbms_backup_restore.nidprocessdf(:fno, :istemp, :skipped, :idchged, :nmchged); end;
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded

Change of database name and database ID failed.
Must finish change or REVERT changes before attempting any database operation.
DBNEWID – Completed with errors.

i used the above steps and i could change the DB name and DBID successfully…

Thank you, I’m following this practice ever since when changing database name.
Recreating controlfile with the “SET” clause is another option, but not sure if that can also similar failure.

very nice document. Thanks for sharing! We ran into problem using nid to change db name for our 4TB database with 1300+ datafile before as well. We thought there was a limit of the # of datafiles in order to use nid. Will try increase the open_cursor setting next time (currently it is set to 1400).

Thanks for the query. To avoid display errors(in case of archs generated for any given hour crosses 99), we may need to use either ’999′ or ’9999′ in place of ’99′.

Hi Pundits,

Thanks for the article,

I have tested it, it worked successfully, let me add we don’t need to set SET NEWNAME anymore starting with 10g we can use nofilenamecheck. and i have used it in same windows TEST server for both the databases.
i have used following statement in RMAN Session after connecting to both and it just worked fine.

RMAN> duplicate target database to ‘test’ from active database nofilenamecheck;

One requirement left out is the tns entry for the auxiliary database must also exist on the target host. This is commonly not documented.

Hello,

Please correct the “Standby related parameters” as there is a duplication of the parameter “db_unique_name” at line 23 and 29.

23 *.db_unique_name=’orcl’
29 *.db_unique_name=’STBY’

Thanks,
Deepak
