Not sure, but if you are doing an import, you have already started your
database, and your database is therefore already using one or both of
your parameter files.

If you do copy a parameter file, chances are you would have to modify
parts of it like db_name, or paths. Again, as to controlfiles, either
you have created a new database, or you have restored from a backup. In
either event, you already have a DB no?

Subject: restore from export dump file for the whole database

When I am importing a dump file for a whole database to another new
database does that include the control file and pfile or do I have to
start upon mount after copying pfile by myself to it 's location and
point to using
Startup no mount pfile= 'pathname'
Copy the control file
Then recover until cancel
Open the database


OR the importing do all of this
