system refresh (db restore) on oracle RAC

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

     we are facing a scenario of system refresh from PRD to QAS, our systems (ECC ehp 5) are in Oracle RAC 11.0.2.4  (with file system, no asm)

     we have an application server in one host, centran instances in other host and the database in the RAC,

     we want to use a oracle backup taked by RMAN, so we want to restore the prod database to our QAS database, then rename the database and      finally perform the sap post activities.

     do you known any sap document that we can follow ? a step by step guide/ note that can help us ?

Regards
