Hi all,

DB Ver: 8.1.7.2
OS: Solaris

We instantiated our standby database again last night because it needed re-creating. This morning we have found that the standby database is not working properly. We are getting ORA - 1547... when we are applying the logs on standby...

Now, I think the problem is that I created the standby control file at 17:53 and then copied this over to the standby server. At 18:00, I issued the instantiate -c command, which then copied all the files over... However, at 18:30 we have an automaitc process that started loading invoices into the live database we was copying from.. the instantiate didn't finish until 22:25..

So, it appears the problem is that I have a control file that is out of sink with my datafiles... Can I recreate the standby controlfile again and then roll forward using the current logs we have on disk?

OR does it need recreating agian?!

Thanks in advance..
