"ORA-01203 - wrong creation SCN" got during copy of a db on another machine

Question

Hello colleagues,
I copy a database from a machine to a second one through this procedure:
I set each tablespace (data and temp) in backup mode
I copy the datafiles (data and temp)
I copy the control file
I copy archived redo logs
On the second machine I try to startup the database by the command
On the second machine I try to startup the database but the following errors are got:
SQL> @/usr/Systems/1359HA_9.0.0_Master/HA_EOMS_1_9.0.0_Master/tmp/oracle/CACH
E/apply_redo.sql;

but the following errors are got:

You see the mount command and the error got.
What can I do to troubleshoot the problem?
thanks for the support

Answer 1

If the Operating system is same :
Working Machine
================
Shutdown the database and copy everything
Copy the init.ora
Copy the pdf,ctl,and log
Copy the bdump, udump etc..
On the second machine
==================
Copy your file in the same path as original i.e
C:\oracle..<dbname>\system.dbf
C:\oracle..<dbname>\system.dbf
Start the database
If your paths in second machine does not match as original update this thread again
