The "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE" create a ascii text file = that you can use to create a new database from incase of a failure. If you = want a working controlfile you have to use the "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP = CONTROLFILE TO ~path\filename" That will give you a binary copy of the = file. You can then rename it and place it in the location specified in the = INIT.ora.

Hi,

I need urgent Help. Our Database has been crashed and we have lost = all
redologs and most of files of database. The database is in Archivelog mode and the good thing is that I have the controlfile with me. Now when I am trying to take the backup of controlfile via "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE" ; No files are being generated. The command 'ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO FILE' successfully generates the file, but = I
am unable to use this file to create the new controlfile.

In what conditions this command does not create any trace file
