Folks

Attempting to Create Controlfile from "backup control file to Trace SQL Script" 
(Approach 2) is failing with the following Error:-

CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "PNBMB" RESETLOGS  NOARCHIVELOG
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01967: invalid option for CREATE CONTROLFILE

NOTE - 25 Datafile NAMES are mentioned in the respective "backup control file 
to Trace SQL Script" which are NOT physically present (i.e. Missing) in the 
respective Directory. These few datafiles have been permanently Lost. Is this 
the Cause for the Above Error?

Qs 2 - Should the "backup control file to Trace SQL Script" be Edited to Remove 
the Lines corresponding to the Lost Datafiles & Control file re-creation 
attempted?
Qs 3 - If re-creation is successful, the Lost Datafiles may appear as 
"MISSINGnnnnnn" on Opening of the Database. Can such "MISSINGnnnnnn" files be 
Dropped?

Cheers

Qs For Bring up of Cold Backup of RAC Database as a NON-RAC Database (with a 
Few Missing Datafiles) is RE-Creation of Control file mandatory?

CASE DETAILS - Cold backup was taken from a Testing RAC (NOT production) 
Database (version 10.2.0.2) into Tapes & Database Deleted from respective 
machine.
The Tapes were extracted into a machine having only a NON-RAC ORACLE_HOME (Same 
version 10.2.0.2) but into a Different Directory Structure (versus that from 
which backup was taken). 25 datafiles were to be found missing in the Backup 
Tapes

AIM To Bring UP the Database in its present Condition.

...

Approach 2 - If Controlfile RE-Creation is Mandatory, Will the following Steps 
Work?
1 - Using NON-RAC ORACLE_HOME (Same Version)
2 - Set cluster_database=FALSE, _no_recovery_through_resetlogs=TRUE in NON-RAC 
init.ora
3 - Edit the Control file to Trace SQL Script to Remove the Missing Datafile 
names & RE-Create the Controlfile after STARTUP NOMOUNT
4 - To RE-Create Online Redo Logs issue "ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS"
5 - Datafiles whose names were purposely Removed from the Controlfile Trace 
will appear as "MISSINGnnnnnn"
6 - Is Dropping of these ""MISSINGnnnnnn" datafiles possible?
