75Preparing a replica Oracle database
See “SQL script to create a control file” on page 78 for an example.
8 Copy the Oracle initialization file (for example, initdbase.ora; see
“Initialization file for original production database” on page 79) for the
original database to a new initialization file for the replica database (for
example, initREP1.ora; see “Initialization file for replica Oracle
database” on page 80).
Edit the copied file and change the definitions of the following parameters:
background_dump_dest Background dump location.
core_dump_dest Core dump location.
db_name Database name to the name of the replica
database.
log_archive_dest Archive log location, set equal to the path
created in step 4 (for example, /rep/
dbase_arch).
log_archive_start Archive log mode, log_archive_start, to
FALSE.
user_dump_dest User dump location.
You may also wish to reduce the resource usage of the new database by
adjusting the values of parameters such as db_block_buffers. See the
Oracle Database Administrator’s Guide for more information.
9 Copy the Oracle remote password file (for example, orapwdbase) in
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs to a new file (for example, orapwREP1).
