Trying to clone the database with a subset of tablespaces from production backup
Offline dropped unwanted datafiles or the controlfile is created without them.
Did SCN/SEQUENCE/TIME based incomplete recovery and opened the database with resetlogs option successfully.
But SMON transaction recovery is failing with the following messages in the alert.log
ORA-00376: file 263 cannot be read at this time
ORA-01111: name for data file 263 is unknown - rename to correct file
ORA-01110: data file 263: '<path>/dbs/MISSING00263'
ORACLE Instance STAGE (pid = 8) - Error 376 encountered while recovering transaction (8, 81) on object 1426463.
Goal
This is expected that SMON will report the error if the datafile is offline dropped or the controlfile is created without the datafile. While processing the alter database open resetlogs command all the missing datafiles and tablespaces will be added into the controlfile after checking with dictionary because oracle always thinks that dictionary always contains the right information.Corresponding messages will be written to the alert.log
Creating OFFLINE file 'MISSING00117' in the controlfile.
This file can no longer be recovered so it must be dropped.
Tablespace 'tablespace name' #233 found in data dictionary,
but not in the controlfile. Adding to controlfile.
