Does he still have a job?
If the files were just renamed, then rename them back to original name.

>i am recreating the control file. is it works for me?
You will soon learn the answer to that question.

Thanks for reply.

what i am thinking is to go for recovery.
steps are:

restore backup and control file from most recent bakcup.
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel ;

so it will apply all the archives.

alter database open reset logs;

--- i am not clear on one question.
if i loss control file in my DB, is there any transaction will happened. is it possible to insert/select/update transaction will happen against the DB. i guess it won't happend.

in that case i will go for recreation of control file.
otherwise i will perform recovery.

is this way is correct. could you please tell am i thinking is wrong?

How was this backup taken?

The first thing you should do is take a complete cold backup.
