The target is Window server 2003 with 10g 10.2.0.2.0 oracle and the
Auxiliary is Windows XP with 10g 10.2.0.1.0 oracle.
Can I user rman duplicate database to duplicate database from target
to auxiliary ?

It depends on information you have not supplied. The answer is
probably yes, but you might want to patch up some in case there are
bugs.

See the Oracle® Database Backup and Recovery Advanced User's Guide
about Cross-Platform Transportable Databases and Tablespaces and
Preparing for CONVERT DATABASE: Using the DBMS_TDB Package

In there you will see a reference to V$DB_TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM and
related views. Select everything from that view and see if your
operating systems and platform are listed, and think about how what
you posted is ambiguous.

Well, with 10.2.0.3 and 10.2.0.4 it is not working.
The whole exercise goes well, up to the point where
the clone is about to be opened.
It then start (rightfully so) moaning about it should
be opened in upgrade mode. Which will leave you in a
catch-22 situation.

Dang, you're right. The duplicate is so helpfully automatic it shoots
itself in the foot. https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&id=369644.1&type=NOT#aref2
Thought I had seen a solution to that somewhere, guess I'm just
confused by all the possibilities.

Hi,
In this case you can not use "rman duplicate" but for duplicating you
can use "rman convert database"
see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/dbxptrn.htm


Thanks
