Hii,

Thanks for the reply.

When I create standby database in such manner that control files in Primary server are :

*control_files='P:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\tceng\control01.ctl','C:\oradata\tceng\control02.ct l','E:\oradata\tceng\control03.ctl' --- i.e. in P, C and E drives in Primary server

and control files in Standby server are :

*control_files='P:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\tceng\control01.ctl','C:\oradata\tceng\control02.ct l','E:\oradata\tceng\control03.ctl' --- i.e. in P, C and E drives in Primary server

i.e path are same then its working fine.

But when we give path of control files in different locations in Primary and Standby servers i.e. P, C and E drives in Primary server and C and D drives in Standby server then only the error occurs.

My query is, should we make any change in CLI method for this special case for creation of standby??
