I was told by Oracel Support to just change the compatible setting and then the ananlyst said "Oops' when it didn't work. I couldn't continue it took about a week to get it back. No one knew what to do. They all said "That isn't good!" We had already dismantled the old servers (32 bit) and reconfigured the new 64 bit servers we had to get a workaround to make the old version (8.0.6.3) work so we could do another recovery and try again. That trace that they say works to overcome the problem doesn't work. If you can do a restore back to the 8.1.7 version you can just take out the compatible parameter and try again. If not, you may be in for a long haul. If I can do anything else to help you, please let me know.

I and another DBA have just about exhausted our things to try. I had a compatible='9.2.0' in the init.ora for the 9i migration. You can't do this, but must set it AFTER the migration. I had obtained a copy of the init.ora from a working Version 9 and went over the lines one by one comparing them to "PFTST" to make the version 9 init.ora. Now I get the stuff below. I've tried using: _allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE EVENT = "10619 trace name context forever, level 1" Both of which were mentioned as ways to get around the problem. You would think they'd test for that "invalid at this point" setting. I've saved off the export, just in case. The log gives me this: alter database open resetlogs Thu Apr 28 11:37:45 2005 RESETLOGS is being done without consistancy checks. This may result in a corrupted database. The database should be recreated.
