Hello,
We shipped over a copy of our (Oracle 6.0.36) database to another company.
All control files, database files etc. were included. They are running the
exact same version of Oracle. When they try to startup the database, they
receive an error message "ORA-00205 Error in identifying control file
?/dbs/cntrl_at_.dbf". Now, ORACLE_HOME is set correctly, ORACLE_SID is set
correctly and $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/cntrl$ORACLE_SID.dbf exists and is readable
by oracle.
When init.ora is changed to include an explicit path to the control file
(CONTROL_FILES = ....), it still doesn't work, only the control file name
in the error message is replaced by the full path.
Any ideas please?
