Hi,

I am having 3 control files at location as per the init.ora file. Today moring I found database was down, when trying to startup, got an error "ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info".


Alert.log

I was trying to create a controlfile from the script present at alert.log as CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "ABC", but got the same error ORA-00205.

Pls suggest me.

Thanks,
