Just looking in the repository I can see what appears to b einformation regarding the details of the files involved in this particular backup. It appears to list only one archivelog. Is this expected? Should itcontain all of the archivelogs i.e. the one that is says it can’t find?

Further to my xml backup other backups where cloning work sappear to have multiple entries for archivelogs in the artefact. Would amendingthis XML work since we have sod all to lose?

Hello

Just an update. I have tried to edit the xml file, but I still get the same errors.

Thanks

I am wondering whether this might point to the bug. Has anybody been in this scenario before ??

Bug ID	237893
Title	Clone from online backup can fail with SMO-07341 or SMO-07340 in certain situations
Duplicate of
Bug Severity	3 - Serious inconvenience
Bug Status	Fixed
Product	Unknown
Bug Type	SnapManager for Oracle
Description Formatted	If the database is under high load, multiple archived logs (per redo thread) can be generated while the database is in "hot backup mode" for an online backup. If that online backup is used as the source for a clone operation, these logs will need to be applied to the clone database in order to recover the clone database to a consistent point. If multiple archived logs (per redo thread) need to be applied to the clone, SnapManager for Oracle will fail to apply these logs correctly, resulting in a SMO-07341 or SMO-07340 error.
Workaround Formatted	Retry the clone operation using either: A. An offline backup B. An online backup where there is only a single archived log (per redo thread) generated while the database was in "backup mode".

I have a VBScript (uses DMO) that will script out a 2000 server and I believe has what you need. In essence, it creates a script that will build an empty clone of the source database. The logins don't have passwords but with 2000 you can bcp out sysxlogins and that will have the binary of the encrypted password.

If you think this will help, PM me and I'll email it to you.
