Duplicating database

Oracle 7.3
AIX 7.1 Suppose we have two identical database ( one production and one test ). They were created with the same script, except for the instance name and db-location

Which files am I allowed (or not ) to copy from one to another.

I suppose
OK : all the dbf-files
NOK : the controlfile

?? Do the need to be in NOARCHIVELOG ??

Thanks
