If you have any full backups it should have backed up the control file as part
of a full backup.

Do you have a backup? Where is the backup? If the backup is complete and
contains a control file, you can do "duplicate database" with "BACKUP
LOCATION" argument.

Hi Everyone,
So from reading around, the only way the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement
works is by having the datafiles (maybe everything else in the statement) in
place.
Since that's not my case, and i don't have the autobackup'ed controlfiles
(i think they were backedup but to a location that has been deleted), how
the heck do i restore my database...?

ya, we don't have an rman catalog database. we do it in the controlfiles of
each database.
Obviously something we need to look at in the future (near)

Lyall, if autobackup is set to on, then the backup media contains the auto
backup of the control file. Also, the X that marks the spot should be
available in the RMAN configuration. Do you have catalog? If you do, the
configuration should be visible, regardless of a non-existing control file.

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

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?
