The syntax of command is incorrect. (The message is shown like this)
What could be the reason?

or else is there any way to multiplex the control files

Is this related to your other question where the control file parameter is messed up?

The dos copy command is: copy from_file to_file

Try one copy at a time...

no this is totally different for sure..thank you
Ok then...not sure...

What command syntax is wrong?

ASKER

To copy control file in 8 different locations..
I mentioned I don't think copy works that way.

Did you try 8 individual copy commands?

Could you please help me to multiplex control file..
Actually I was trying to multiplex...
Going from memory:
Shut down the instance.

Make the copies (one at a time).

Startup nomount.

Alter the spfile with alter system commands
Or
Edit the pfile and startup with it.

Then open the database.

If started with pfile, then recreate the spfile.
