Oracle Database Discussions

Hi.

I am trying to make a copy of db from a production server to development server.

I created a new db on development server, stopped production server and copied oracle data files from production server to development server.

After that, I tried to recreate control file on development server, using data files I had copied from production server. It did not work.

production instance name is CDCWEB and development instance name is CDCWEBD

Creation of control file generated following message:

ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01161: database name CDCWEB in file header does not match given name of CDCWEBD
ORA-01110: data file 1: 'O:\restprod\SYSTEM01.DBF'



what went wrong?

thanks in advance.

Alex
