Oracle 10.2.0.1 is NOT supported. After that problem is fixed you should install the latest patchset + interim patches!

Please post the last lines of your alert<SID>.log

Hi

I have updated the oracle patch to 10.2.0.2 and checked the pfile/sfile for env variables as well, but still same error persists.

Actually I am performing SAP system copy by restoring offline backup. After the Backup/restore phase while creating control.sql file this error is occuring.

I have generated the control.sql file using orbrcopy command.

Thanks and Regards

Gotcha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I checked the usertace files and understood that oracle is unable to find alert.log file in backgound folder which i had forgot to create 😛

I created the the background folder and installation proceeded further.

Thanks Guys

Hello Dharmendra,

have you used environment variables in your pfile / spfile?

Check the files for any references to environment variables and replace them with their expanded equivalent.

Regards
