Oracle database mount with files

Question

We are currently working on SAP Oracle 11g database import in different server.

Client gave us control files, DB files, redo log files.

Followed steps:

1. created new database with same name.

2. copied all control files, DB files and redo log files.

3. Modified init.ora file with clients control file name.

4. Alter database mount:

   ERROR at line 1:
   ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
   

   

5. Create new control file using DB files use create control file command:

    CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "<DBNAME>" NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
        MAXLOGFILES 20
        MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
        MAXDATAFILES 100
        MAXINSTANCES 8
        MAXLOGHISTORY 292
    LOGFILE
      GROUP 1 (
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo01a.log',
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo01b.log'
      ) SIZE 50M ,
      GROUP 2 (
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo02a.log',
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo02b.log'
      ) SIZE 50M ,
      GROUP 3 (
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo03a.log',
        'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\oraredo2\<DBNAME>\redo03b.log'
      ) SIZE 50M 
    -- STANDBY LOGFILE
    DATAFILE
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\system01.dbf',
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\undotbs01.dbf',
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\sysaux01.dbf',
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\users01.dbf',
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\<DBFILENAME>.dbf',

      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\<DBFILENAME>.dbf',
      'C:\app\Orcldba\oradata\<DBNAME>\<DBFILENAME>.dbf'
    CHARACTER SET KO16KSC5601
    ;
   

   Error:

   ERROR at line 1:
   ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
   ORA-01565: error in identifying file 'C:WappWOrcldbaWoradataWXXXXXXXX.dbf'
   ORA-27048: skgfifi: file header information is invalid
   OSD-04001: invalid logical block size (OS 2097152)

Answer 1

The problem is the difference in the hardware platform of the original database of the new database. To migrate between platforms you need access to the source server, you must run Cross Platform DB Migration using RMAN. I tried doing a test migration from Oracle 10.2.0.4 Solaris 10 Sparc 64 on Oracle 10.2.0.4 Oracle Linux 32 and got similar errors.

SELECT A.platform_id, A.platform_name, B.endian_format 
FROM v$database A, v$transportable_platform B 
WHERE B.platform_id (+) = A.platform_id;

Followed steps:

1) copied all control files, DB files and redo log files.

2) Modified init.ora file with clients control file name.

3) Alter database mount:

ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file
Additional information: 2

I tried to create a controlfile, and got errors.

Errors in file /oracle/app/oracle/admin/ST01/udump/st01_ora_695.trc:
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/ST01/o1_mf_system_488h0zbs_.dbf'
ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file

I tried to run Cross Platform DB Migration using RMAN, and got errors.
