HI,

We are using R12.0.4 & 10g database.

We didn't run preclone before taking a backup. Now we want to clone Test instance from backup for which preclone steps are not executed.

Can we clone TEST from backup for which preclone are not executed ?
As per my dba, we can't clone TEST instance from backup for which preclone steps are not performed.

Can anyone explain the issue or solution. I believe, there should be some way to clone TEST from backup for which pre-clone are not executed.

Regards,

Why do not you trust on your DBA because he is right person and he knows DBA more than you

for cloning we have to run preclone and post clone steps either in straight way (copy complete source including apps and dbtier) or by using database refreshing but we can use RMAN for database cloning even without running preclone in source machine.
