Hi all, sorry for the urgent flag but I have the following problem (and lots of people screaming at me): 9.2.0.8 on Solaris Duplicated a DB. Before the duplication was finished, ran out of archived redo logs needed to succesfully finish. According to R. Freeman's book, I could apply these afterwards (which I did, succesfully) and then run NID. This fails with NID-00131 : controlfile is not current. Trying to recreate then fails with mismatches between the duplicated DB name and the source DB name which is still in the headers ... HELP ! mvg/regards Jo -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
