You can try, it might work. But I suspect that more has happened than you think.

For example, the queries against those v$ views show that your control file believes that you have 4 online logfile groups,
each with just one member. Two groups have members in /oracle/AMP/origlogB and the other two have members in /oracle/AMP/origlogA.
This separation is a pointless complication, but not a technical issue.

However, your directory listings suggest that you have 4 online logfile groups (OK so far) each of which has 2 members, one in
each directory. That would be a much better way of organizing things, but is incompatible with the controlfile.

All I can conclude is that someone has been trying to fix things but has actually broken them. I could possibly solve this problem
either by sorting out what happened and recreating the controlfile to reflect reality, or by using some undocumented techniques
to open the database with a corrupt redo log. However, I do not think I can talk someone through this in a forum. It is too complicated.

Perhaps someone else will feel up to attempting to help further, but I think you need to hire a consultant. A good one.
It won't take him long, but he won't be able to guarantee success in advance. I know, because I've had to sort out this kind of thing
for clients a few times.

may you please kindly confirm if we can rename the original online log and move the old ones back to its location
You can, backing up the current ones before; will this solve the problem? I doubt.

Edit: Sorry, John, I didn't see your answer which is in another page.

But look on the bright side - it might work. You've nothing to lose, so long as you have a backup of the current position.

Thank you so so much John and the team for taking me through up to this far, I really appreciate your help.

As for now I will try and and back up the current one and see where it takes me to.

As you have said I must "look on the bright side"
