ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server

One datafile  is not using OMF name while the rest of the datafiles are using OMF name.

It is not oracle bug and this expected behavior.

The reason the duplicate of the database is failing is because there is no db_file_name_convert and the datafile that has an alias is not using an OMF name, so a new OMF name is not created for it and the filename is unchanged.

The parameter "parameter_value_convert"  changes the string  from 'xxx' to 'yyy' in other  initialization parameters, but not in the datafile names.  If the names of the datafiles are desired to be changed,  then  db_file_name_convert should be used


Solution:

1. Use the parameter DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and specify the complete location of the datafile using alias :

SET DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT='+DATA/xxx/datafile','+DATA/yyy/datafile/'


or

2. Create the directory "xxx" in the diskgroup where the image copy is being created by the auxiliary database.
