ORA-01122: database file 22 failed verification check

Today when I tried to restart my test database I got strange but known error.

SQL> startup  
 ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified  
 ORACLE instance started.  
 Total System Global Area 5344731136 bytes  
 Fixed Size         2163168 bytes  
 Variable Size      2298482208 bytes  
 Database Buffers     3036676096 bytes  
 Redo Buffers        7409664 bytes  
 Database mounted.  
 ORA-01122: database file 22 failed verification check  
 ORA-01110: data file 22: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/archive_tbs01.dbf'  
 ORA-01200: actual file size of 65536 is smaller than correct size of 402176 


After researching it means inconsistency of controlfile. So, we need recreate or restore it from backup.

Do one of the following:

SQL > alter database backup controlfile to trace;  
 Database altered.

or

 SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO '/u01/app/oracle/admin/PROD/bdump/controlfile.bkp';  
 Database altered. 

or

SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS '/u01/app/oracle/admin/PROD/bdump/controlfile.trc';  
 Database altered. 

shutdown database and start it on nomount state:

SQL> shut immediate  
 ORA-01109: database not open  
 Database dismounted.  
 ORACLE instance shut down.

 SQL> startup nomount  
 ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified  
 ORACLE instance started.

edit your trace file and try to create  --I created createnewcontrolfile.sql file


 SQL > @createnewcontrolfile.sql  
 CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "???" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG  
   MAXLOGFILES 16  
   MAXLOGMEMBERS 3

  GROUP 2 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/redo2.log' SIZE 400M,  
  GROUP 3 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/redo3.log' SIZE 400M,  
  GROUP 4 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/redo4.log' SIZE 400M,  
  GROUP 5 '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/redo5.log' SIZE 400M,

  '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/???/FCJ_DATA_TS_13.dbf'  
 CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8; 


At the end recover database using new controlfile

 SQL> recover database using backup controlfile

Now open the database and enjoy

 SQL> alter database open;
