ORA-00205

Hi,
I wanted to add another cotrol file but it gave me the error ORA-00205.
So, i turned back to my original configuration but it still gives ORA-00205.
According the parameter everything is ok
control_files = C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\LDPLM000\CONTROL01.CTL, C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\LDPLM000\CONTROL02.CTL, C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\LDPLM000\CONTROL03.CTL
These files are still at the same place, they haven't been changed.
(it is only a test environment, oracle 10g2, windows xp)
Probably i made a mess.
First i tried to change the vaule of the control_files parametes directly with alter system set...scope=spfile;
After a shutdown it didn't to start giving the ORA-00205 error.
Then i tried:
create pfile from spfile;
restored the original value of the control_files in the initMYDB.ora
create spfile from pfile;
And i still get ora-00205 when i want to start the database.
How can i fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

ORA:00205 fro the second database

Thanks to all your suggestions, I finally got it. I tried to run dbca remotely and I think that's why I didn't get the GUI. So I installed a VNC server to view the remote server's desktop . The re I ran dbca ,created a second database successfully.
Now I have a question. How to get connected to the second database without affecting the first one. I typed startup command from sqlplus. It said ORA:00205 --control files not found errror . But I have the correct path of the control files in my
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initorcl2.ora (ex: /oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/orcl2/control01,
/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/orcl2/control01,
/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/orcl2/control01,
Where doed it look for the control file parameter. In the init.ora file or initorcl2.ora??
Or do I have start the instance first for the second database. How?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

which OS do you use,windows or unix?

It can e.g. be that while copying the file permissions have been changed, making the files not readable for the oracle user

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file..after installing ASM

Hi
I haveoracle database 10g running on a redhat4 mechine.
i have installed ASM and migrate my database to ASM.
I haven't any problem and everything was fine till i reboot the mechine for the first time after
installing ASM.
I got the ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
error when database was restarting
any one can help me out of this problem
many many thanks in advance

eventually I figured out what the problem is.
The problem is about my dbora file used to start my database.
this is the whole story!!!
I have a oracle 10gR2 installed on Redhat linux AS 4.
I have configured my database to work on ASM.All the configuration have set properly
and every thing is fine except the Automatic starting the database in time
the mechine is restarted.
when i restart the mechine with nothing in dbora(used to automatically start the database)
and start everything after logging into oracle user(listener ,database,Enterprise manager)
no problem(i can see my ASM instance database instance throught Enterprise managaer).
but when i use dbora to do that i get this error appear in enterprise manager
ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
this is the content of dbora:
s script is intended to allow the automated
# startup and shutdown of an oracle database server.

# the user that oracle runs as (default: oracle)

su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut"
su - $ORACLE -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac
exit
What do u think could be the reason?!!!!
thank you in advance

ORA-00205 Error

i have installed Oracle 8.1.5 Server on Windows 2000 Server, the installation goes well, i have created Database ORCL, now when i connect it it gives ORA-12638 Error however i am able to solve it by modifiying the sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
but now again i am getting error when i go to SVRMGRL and start the Database with STATUP option it gives error
ORA-00205.
now when i see the Control files there is no Control file over there as mentioned in INIT.ORA file.
Pl. tell where is the Problem

It seems that the controlfiles are missing from the location.
See, if they are are moved or renamed by mistake. If so, then, move them to the exact location, mentioned in init.ora file.
If not, you can always create a new controlfile, refer oracle docs on how to create a new controlfile.

ORA-00205 error leading to ORA-00470 LGWR process terminated with error.

Hello Gurus,
One of our database had gone down, I tried to bring it up. When tried to do so it gave follwoing errot ORA-00205 error in identifying control file, check alert log ..... When I checked alter log entried I found a new error ORA-00470 LGWR process terminated with eror.
All my control files are intact where supposed to be, so are all redo log files. Please could any would help parity at my end.
In need for restoring my database at the earliest.
Regards
Shiva

Could you please post the full alert.log contents when the database starts up ?
Are you really sure that all your control files are OK ?
ORA-00205 error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info
Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and size.
Action: One of the following:
Check that the proper control file name is referenced in the CONTROL_FILES initialization parameter in the initialization parameter file and try again.
When using mirrored control files, that is, more than one control file is referenced in the initialization parameter file, remove the control file name listed in the message from the initialization parameter file and restart the instance. If the message does not recur, remove the problem control file from the initialization parameter file and create another copy of the control file with a new file name in the initialization parameter file.

ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info

Hello All,
I am performing my first Collab Suite install in quite some time and I have successfully installed Collaboration Suite on Linux Red Hat AS 4. I first performed an infrastructure installation for the Collab Suite database which completed with no errors, however, it appears that no control files were created in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory during installation. I am also unable to specify their exact location in the initSID.ora file as I am unable to find them in any other directory on my server. The database starts despite the control file error, as you can see from the second SQL*Plus prompt. However, I am unsure how to create the control files or correct this error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Control files are database-specific, since they contain information describing the database (location of data files, etc.) You can't copy them from one database to another.
Do you have a backup?

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file

Hi DBAs,
I am using Oracle 11g R2, My db is up and running, I thought to Multiplexing the controlfile in another location. My DB is up with help of sp file.
While it was up, I have given a comment like this, without specifying the filename.ctl , I wrongly mentioned the Path alone, now it has been updated in spfile.
SQL> alter system set control_files='E:\APP\ADMINISTRATOR\ORADATA\BASKAR\CONTROLFILE\' scope=spfile;
System altered.
Then, When i was restarting my db its throwing an error, control file is missing.
Then I thought to run my db with pfile, then i tried to chang the controlfile parameter in SPFILE, it showing as like below one,
SQL> alter system set control_files='E:\app\Administrator\oradata\BASKAR\O2_MF_7CSK1379_.CTL' scope=spfile;
alter system set control_files='E:\app\Administrator\oradata\BASKAR\O2_MF_7CSK1379_.CTL' scope=spfile
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup
Any one can let me know? how do i change my controlfile parameter in spfile.
How do i start my db with SPFILE.
