I was cloning PROD to DEV instance … when I am configuring DEV instance , got following errors.

==================================================================================
In my case, control file were created successfully, but above error indicates that database was not created successfully.
I found root of this issue that when i had copied PROD binaries and data files at same time some services were running using ORACLE user.
Note: You would get this error if oracle database was not properly shutdown when you copied the files.
All my stuff were wasted.
So, I have copied only datafiles again from PROD to DEV.
And ran adcfgclone.pl dbTier again and cloning has been completed successfully without any error !!
