Not entirely correct. The reason for this is that the author of this
thread had way too big CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME (thirty is just
too much) and during that period generated more redo than his
controlfile history records could keep. The recreation of a control
file will not solve anything, only postpone this error until next
month. The only way how to solve this is to lower this parameter to
some sensible value (three should be sufficient in most cases, it
depends on his backup schema).
After lowering of this value, the error would change to warning about
overwriting old records and after some time it will return to normal.
So probably there is not need to recreate controlfile because of this.
