You have to create the controlfile in NOMOUNT.

Hi,
  I feel like this is not as complicated as i'm making it.

Oracle 12.1.0.2

WHat i have: RMAN backup(s) of my database. I have the init.ora file. trace file backup of the controlfiles

what i don't have: any datafiles, controlfiles, redo logs, etc.

I can mount the database, but when i try to create the controfiles from the trace file, i get

CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "BLAH" RESETLOGS FORCE LOGGING ARCHIVELOG
*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/oradata01/SFINA021/SYSTEM.01.dbf'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory Additional information: 3

which is very true. after i created the controlfiles and mounted the database, i was going to RMAN and do a CATALOG START WITH, etc. and restore...

Help? lol isn't this just a database cloning i'm essentially doing?
