Before starting a workload capture, you should have a strategy in place to restore the database on the test system. Before a workload can be replayed, the logical state of the application data on the replay system should be similar to that of the capture system when replay begins. To accomplish this, consider using one of the following methods:
Recovery Manager (RMAN) DUPLICATE
command
Snapshot standby
Data Pump Import and Export
This will allow you to restore the database on the replay system to the application state as of the workload capture start time.
