Are you trying to copy the database files to clone the database? This could be achieved but it's not as simple as a straight copy. Assuming that this is an Oracle database you need to do a few things before you copy to ensure that the files are idle and you have to consider the target server too has to recognise the files in the correct location, along with any parameter file adjustments that might be needed.

Can I ask what the overall aim of your project is? There may be better ways or specific steps you need to follow.

Apologies if you already have it working and this is just an attempt to smooth the process.
