RMAN> BACKUP INCREMENTAL FROM SCN 123456 DATABASE FORMAT 'F:\ad-hoc_backup\CPHG\ForStandby_%U' tag 'INCR_STANDBY';

Copy backup file to the standby database server.

Backup the control file on the primary server.

RMAN> BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY FORMAT 'F:\ad-hoc_backup\CPHG\standby.ctl';

Copy control file backup to the standby server.
If database locations are different on the standby server record the names …
