Enterprise Manager Cloud Control can be used to clone the database on a host to another host that is being monitored by an active management agent. Cloning of databases can ensure identical processes for database creation and will also eliminate user errors.
This recipe assumes that an Oracle Home directory is available, the Oracle database software is installed at the target server, and the source database is running in the archive-log mode.
