Hi all,

I have managed to open the database via open resetlogs. The skipped files from the duplicate are showing up as MISSING. Now I tried to re-create the control file aftering editing the trace file to remove all the missing entries of databafiles. The control file was successfully created. I then opened the database normally without recovery. However upon checking the alert log i saw the 'missing' files where remembered in the data dictionary and added into the control file, which is obviously not what I wanted. Is there a way around this? Can i make the data dict 'forget' about those missing files and open the database without these missing files?

Thanks in advance,
Chucks
