Hi,

Qn : Is it possible to copy one database to another if the source database
name is different from the target database name ? 

I need to clone Oracle Applications 11I from one machine (source
instance:PROD) to another (target instance:TEST). I followed the
instructions on Metalink doc 135792.1 "Cloning Oracle Applications Release
11I". Everything works fine until I re-create the controlfile in the target
instance.

In svrmgrl =>
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "TEST" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 16
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 500
    MAXINSTANCES 1
    MAXLOGHISTORY 453
LOGFILE
  GROUP 1 (
    '/dg3/oracle/testredo/log01a.dbf',
    '/dg4/oracle/testredo/log01b.dbf'
  ) SIZE 10M
  ....
DATAFILE
  '/dg7/oracle/testdata/system01.dbf',
  '/dg7/oracle/testdata/system02.dbf', 
  ...
  '/dg8/oracle/testdata/ctxd01.dbf',
.................
CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "TEST" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
*
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name PROD in file header does not match given name of
TEST

Any advice ? Thanks. (Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
