AlanHo Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm not recommending a solution because I have never been faced with the problem - but have you seen this :- http://www.dbfrepairtools.com/?gclid=COe72Ki708gCFQn4wgodF30G5w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garold Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 The information about database data files and online redo log files along with their paths is stored in the control file(s). The information about the control file path is stored in initialization parameter file (pfile) or in server parameter file (spfile).So if you moved your data files, online redo log files and/or control file(s) you should update the paths in the appropriate files to reflect the changes before you can mount and open the database.First, you alter you parameter file with new information after you successfully started the instance:http://www.dbf.viewertool.com/SQL> startup nomount;SQL> alter system set control_files = '/oracle/data/control.dbf';Then you mount the database so control file can be read and written:SQL> alter database mount;After database is mounted you can use RENAME FILE command to set the new pats to data files and online redo log files:http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/352967-how-to-open-dbf-file/SQL> alter database rename file '/u01/data/sysaux.dbf'to '/oracle/data/sysaux.dbf'; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
