This is not "a completely wrong approach", it is possible to do it this
way, but you can easily make some mistake. Why you do not want to use
RMAN which can do this for you and take care of everything that has to
be done? Make backup, create standby controlfile, do restore on your
backup location and you're exactly where you have to be to make standby
work.
