Another piece of information: On the basis of "it couldn't hurt to try" I recopied everything but instead of using the regular control file I used the standby control file. I then mounted it in standby mode, issued the recover standby database command, activated the standby, shutdown, and opened the database. It worked fine.
Why would it work with a standby controlfile and not with the regular control file? I have my QC database working but I'm really puzzled. Jay Miller -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 7:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Okay, this is weird. I'm trying to rebuilding my QC database from a hot backup. As always, I copied all the hot backup files, all the archive logs from the period of the hot backup and the control files. After doing recover database using backup controlfile; I got SVRMGR> alter database open resetlogs; alter database open resetlogs * ORA-01113: file 1 needs media recovery ORA-01110: data file 1: '/data1/nyccp/systnyccp.dbf Thinking that perhaps I just needed to apply more logs I went on to apply another 12 hours worth of archive logs. I still get the same error. Now I'm really concerned that my hot backup is invalid for some reason. Does anyone have any suggestions for what else I can look at?
