Wizard page Action
Ingestion Process Settings
The ingestion process settings specify the source of the database to ingest,
the ingestion schedule, and the maximum network bandwidth the ingestion
process can use. The options available for this wizard page differ based on
whether you choose to create a One-time clone or a Golden clone in
catalog.
Select the settings for a One-time clone.
NFS share name
(Required) NFS share containing the RMAN backup
of the source database.
Catalog start
Root folder that contains the RMAN backup set. This
is the relative path to NFS Share. All backups under
this directory are used for ingestion and refresh. For
example, if the daily backups for a database are
stored under a specific folder in the NFS share,
catalog start should point to it.
Control file
(Required) Relative path to NFS Share. This is the
control file used to restore the database. It is a control
file backup that includes a copy of the control file and
server parameter file (spfile).
Optional pfile
Custom pfile.
Refresh point
Select Most recent backup or specify a point in time
for the ingestion. For a point in time ingestion, the
backup set under the catalog start directory must
include a level 1 incremental backup.
Select the settings for a Golden clone in catalog.
NFS share name
NFS share containing the RMAN backup of the
source database.
Relative path
The relative path under the exported directory to the
LIST file.
Schedule when to create the clone.
Scheduling
Window
Select Run this action now to ingest the external
database immediately, or specify the ingestion start
date and time.
Limit network
bandwidth
(Optional) Specify the maximum network
bandwidth the ingestion process can use.
General
Specify the database name, type, base database template, and database group
from which to create the database.
Name
Type a name to identify the database. The name must
be the same as that of the source database.
Description
(Optional) Enter a description of this database.
Database Type
Select a database type from the drop-down menu.
Base DB
Template
Select a base database template from which to create
the database from the drop-down menu. For
example, Oracle 11.2.0.3. The version you select must
be the same as the source DB.
Database Group
If you selected a database group, this field is filled in
for you.
