ORA-19698 File is from different database
I came across this error during point in time recovery of 500G database . Steps followed to resolve the issue If the error "ORA-19698: %s is from different database" is seen during an Oracle disaster recovery operation, perform the following: 1. Bring the database to nomount state (Steps mentioned below): At a command prompt, type the following command: SQLplus / as SYSDBA shutdown immediate; startup nomount; 2. Empty the contents of the directory (under the oradata directory) containing the data files and online redo logs of the newly created database. 3. Re-try the control file restore operation.
