Did you edit the trace file first to make any required file name changes?
I did not read the previous thread and are you sure there was no control file
in the backup set
list backup of controlfile;

Wish I had the autobackup controlfiles... can't find them. Just found the
tracefiles. I'll be checking all the basc when I get home, like what Bob
suggested.

I havent tried this in a long time, but dont you need to set the dbid before
you run the catalog command? I think the sequence would be set dbid, create
controlfile, mount, catalog start with...
But if you have full database backups, you should have a backup of the control
file in there somewhere to restore.

You have to create the controlfile in NOMOUNT.

Hi,
I feel like this is not as complicated as i'm making it.
Oracle 12.1.0.2
WHat i have: RMAN backup(s) of my database. I have the init.ora file. trace
file backup of the controlfiles
what i don't have: any datafiles, controlfiles, redo logs, etc.
I can mount the database, but when i try to create the controfiles from the
trace file, i get
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "BLAH" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING ARCHIVELOG
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/oradata01/SFINA021/SYSTEM.01.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
which is very true. after i created the controlfiles and mounted the database,
i was going to RMAN and do a CATALOG START WITH, etc. and restore...
Help? lol isn't this just a database cloning i'm essentially doing?
