recreate controlfile

Hi lists,

Can anybody tell explain me this:

We would re-create a controlfile to make a new copy of the database with another name.

I tried to create a new db from existing database coldbackup . But I tried to recrete with only one datafile i.e. system datafile.

I skipped all the remaining datafiles. I tried it twice. It is saying recover the datafile using backup controlfile.

when I tried to recover it, it returning that the file is not restored from a sufficient backup.

(But the datafile backup is taken from cold backup)

is there a way to just re-create a controlfile (using a single datafile system. if not, at least how many minimum of datafiles i need to recreate a controlfile from the backup set.)

Regards,
Srinivas
