Windows (yup..sorry)....Server 2008 Enterprise SP1
Oracle 12.1.0.1
I supplied a vendor a COLD backup and a BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE file.
When they go to OPEN RESETLOGS they receive the ORA-00344, ora-27040, then the Operating System Dependent (OSD-04001)
I do not have access to the restore site...so I am having the vendor try things....my next step is to change db_block_size to 4096 vs 8192
They are able to build the controlfile : CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "XXXXX" resetlogs noarchivelog
the issue is with the open
We even removed the LOGFILE groups to let the o/s build it....still erred....ideas?
