Hi,
I have a database of branch A whose files are located in E:\ Drive. I want to download it in branch B.I placed all the files of Branch A in D:\ Drive of Branch B. When i start the database i was getting controlfle error. I made required corrections in initorcl.ora. Now when i start the Database,its mounted, but I am getting ORA-01157: Cannot identify datafile 1. I tried to rename the file, but the "alter database rename file1 to file2;" option is not working
(Since this file was originally in different location).Please guide
Best Regards,
|

Hi,
First step would be to start the database with the valid path. You could change the directory as required when you open the database successfully.
Backup the controlfile.
Go ahead and recreate the Controlfile.
Thanks,
Suntrupth
