    Exclamation Error in COLD CLONE ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed

    Dear All DBA Genius ,

    I am in the first stage of Cloning.


    i am Trying to Make a Clone of Current DB which is Created by Universal Installer.

    i carefully followed the following Steps:

    1) "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;"
    2) Then i Edited the Pfile and kept in Oracle_home location
    3) I create adump,bdump,cdump,dpdump* & udump folders Under the Folder where i wanted to keep the CLONE Database
    4) I Shut downed the DB and copied the DATAFILE's Except CONTROLFILE and move it to created folder for clone.
    5) Now i create a new SID for this Clone DB
    6) I Started the DB in NOMOUNT with Pfile.

    It started well. But while i try to Run the Control file script which i taken before in first step, am getting this error

    SQL> @'D:\UTI\UTI.sql';
    ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
    CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "UTI" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
    ORA-01565: error in identifying file 'D:\UTI\SYSTEM01.DBF'
    ORA-27041: unable to open file
    OSD-04002: unable to open file
    O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.



    Please any one help me to solve this task.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Check if 'D:\UTI\SYSTEM01.DBF' actually exists.
    If exists, check if "oracle" account has privileges on it.

    Not the Oracle account you use to log into Oracle but the O/S "oracle" account Oracle services use to run rdbms engine and related services.
