I know this is after the fact, but in my daily bkup script i have the
following, just to CYA....
alter database backup controlfile to trace as
'/home/oracle/bobmc/db_build/$ORACLE_SID.ctl';
This creates a full control file daily in the event i need to reference
it. I also have the same
script that fires off anytime i add new tablespaces or files.

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?
