All,
ECC 6.0 with oracle on suse linux here. I am trying to refresh my QA system with Production database (11g) using backup/restore method. I will be using a online backup of my production database. I have read guides and forum posts about using the backups generated with brtools etc and using control.sql file etc but my scenario is that we do not use brtools for backups. We take oracle backups using commvault and that is managed by a different team.
How should i tell them to restore the Prod database from their backups ?? do they just need to restore the data files and log files to the target system and then I create and modify the control file and use that control file to restore my DB OR do they also need to restore the DB for me after putting the data files and log files in place ? i am a little confused as I do not use brtools for backup/restore.
Thanks
BV
