What did u do ?? Did u use the command 'alter database backup controlfile to trace' from
database TESTDB to generate the 'create controlfile' statement ?? If so, the datafiles in the 'create controlfile' statement should have the name 'TESTDB' as the
db name in their header. You can only change the path of the datafile names in the 'create controlfile'
statement and not the actual datafile itself while creating the clone. Log on to the TESTDB database again and ascertain whether the datafiles listed in ur 'create controlfile'
statement matches those in TESTDB.
Modify the 'create controlfile' statement to read : CREATE CONTROLFILE RESUE SET DATABASE "TEST2" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG Hope this helps,

Samir

I try to clone my database . I have the datafiles on D:\yedek123 and want to create the control files .
What I do is :
set oracle_sid=new_sid

svrmgrl internal/****
startup nomount pfile=new_pfile

CREATE CONTROLFILE DATABASE "TEST2" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG     MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 254
    MAXINSTANCES 1
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE

  GROUP 1 'D:\yedek123\REDO01.LOG'  SIZE 1M,
  GROUP 2 'D:\yedek123\REDO02.LOG'  SIZE 1M,
  GROUP 3 'D:\yedek123\REDO03.LOG'  SIZE 1M

DATAFILE
'D:\yedek123\SYSTEM01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\RBS01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\USERS01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\TEMP01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\TOOLS01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\INDX01.DBF',
'D:\yedek123\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P9; But When I run the create control file script , I am encountering the error below.
CREATE CONTROLFILE DATABASE "TEST2" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG *
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name TESTDB in file header does not match given name of TE
ST2
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'D:\yedek123\SYSTEM01.DBF'

TESTDB is the original database .
TEST2 is new DB.

What is the problem ?
Thank you.
