RMAN-05001: auxiliary file name conflicts with a file used by the target database and RMAN-05501

The Duplicate db for standby failed with below error

RMAN-05501: aborting duplication of target database
RMAN-05001: auxiliary file name /oradata1/ORCL/system01.dbf conflicts with a file used by the target database
The duplicate script will look like below…

RMAN> run {
set until time "to_date('20018/12/08 14:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'sbttape';
allocate auxiliary channel aux2 type 'sbttape';
duplicate target database for standby dorecover;
}

If primary and secondary has different directory structure then you will not see this issue. This is happening because the primary and secondary datafile directory structures are same.

To skip this check, use 'nofilenamecheck' clause. This will instructs rman not to check whether target database file names share the same name as auxiliary.

Now the script will look like below and you should not see this error.

RMAN> run {
set until time "to_date('20018/12/08 14:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI:SS')";
allocate auxiliary channel aux1 type 'sbttape';
allocate auxiliary channel aux2 type 'sbttape';
duplicate target database for standby dorecover nofilenamecheck;
}
