Recreate basic Control file for corrupt DB

in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

While running RMAN Duplicate DB (clone), the target DB's Control file's DB Name is set to the Source's DB Name and only reset to the desired Target DB Name at the end of the duplicate.

When the RMAN Dup DB fails, the Target DB cannot be mounted and thus the control file cannot be changed to reset the target DB name, nor can a flat file image of the control file be created with "Create Control File ...".

Since I don't need the Target DB or any of the files that may exist, how do I reset the Target's Control File to a empty shell to restart the clone?

Howdy, Stranger!
