Offhand I don 't see anything you did wrong. My first impression is that
you 've made a small mistake somewhere.
- Carefully check the sss02x01.dbf file. Is the timestamp the same as the
other files? If the database existed before, perhaps this file is from the
previous database.
- If you have a create controlfile script that ran successfully before,
carefully compare with that.
- Make sure there isn 't a comma after the last file name.

A wild thought. What is MAXDATAFILES in your script?

Subject: ORA-01159 (See ORA-01159.ora-code.com) during controlfile recreate ?


hi all,
the env is oracle 9.2.0.4/oracle APPS 11.5.9/ AIX 5.2

while creating new control file, i get:

ORA-01503 (See ORA-01503.ora-code.com): CREATE CONTROLFILE FAILED
ORA-01159 (See ORA-01159.ora-code.com): file is not from same database as previous files - wrong database
id
ORA-01110 (See ORA-01110.ora-code.com): data file 400 '/home01/db03/dev03data/sss02x01.dbf '

sequence of steps i did :
1.copy all(and only) DBF files (about 400 files) of instance 01
2.move all these DBF files to a test instance 02
i.e.,overwrite the exiting DBF files of 02
3.backup controlfile of 01 using "alter database backup controlfile "
4.edit it to REUSE the copied DBF files from 01 and SET new
database name
5.now create control file with the above edited file and i get the
above mentioned error.

in the alert log of instance 02 i find,
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---
Tablespace 'SSS02X ' #392 found in data dictionary,
but not in the controlfile. Adding to controlfile.
File #400 found in data dictionary but not in controlfile.
Creating OFFLINE file 'MISSING00400 ' in the controlfile.
This file can no longer be recovered so it must be dropped.
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

i face problem only with one file and all others get thro.
when is this error likely to happen and how to get
rid of this error ? am i missing anything ?

Thanks and Regards,
Prem.
