I have problem creating a subset of a 10g database including the SYSTEM tablespace on the same server as the source database.
On source database, I have the following tablespaces: system, undots, users, sysaux, data1, data2
On the new subset database, I want only the following tablespaces: system, undots, users, sysaux
On source database (host A),
1. alter database begin backup.
2. copied datafiles for system,undots,users,sysaux,redo to the new
mount points
3. alter database end backup. 4. alter database backup control to trace 5. modified the create backup control file script to set the newdatabase name, specified openresetlog and removed the datafile entries for data1 and data2
6. modified the init.ora for the new database
Still on host A, create the new database, 1. ran the backup control file script to startup the database nomount and created the control file for the subset database. 2. Next I issued, "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel". It prompted for a non-existent archived log. When I entered "cancel" and then "alter database open resetlogs", it complained that file 1 system tablespace need more media recovery.
Did I miss any steps?
