You can use this DBM command when you create a database. It enables you to create a new database, which has the same parameter values as an existing database.

For that purpose, you need a complete backup of the existing database. Import the parameter file from this backup to the new database.

The copy of the parameter file is then stored in the <dependent_path> under the name of the current database.

Note Note

If you use this command when creating a database copy or a standby database, always check whether security reasons make it necessary to create this database on a database computer other than the computer of the original database. If you do create the new database on the same computer as the original database, it is imperative to change the imported parameter values for the run directory and the diagnosis history as well as the paths for the data and log volumes.

End of the note.
