did you issue recover standby database until cancel using backup controlfile?
definitely nope.

1) being backup mode of tablespaces of the production database
2) rcp the datafiles to the standby database
3) create a standby controlfile of the production and copy over to standby
4) start standby database with nomount option

then i got the error which i posted in the first thread.

anything amiss?

also, in my alert file

ARC0: Begin FAL archive (thread 1 sequence 114491 destination standby)

in SID_arc0_1101978.trc, i have found that basically, it is asking me for log files that are past the archive log list given.
