  >
  Oracle recommends that you do not use the SPFILE names by default because all instances must use the same file and they all have different sid. On the contrary, keep the SPFILE on Oracle ASM. If you store the SPFILE on a cluster file system, and then use the following naming for the SPFILE convention: $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfiledb_unique_name.ora. Create a PFILE file named $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initsid.ora that contains the name of SPFILE=ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfiledb_unique_name.ora.

  Danny,

  Do you use a spfile to start the database? If Yes, then you must change this setting in the spfile so (issue "show the spfile parameter' to check).

• SQL * more to define SGA_TARGET

  I used SQL * Plus for define SGA_TARGET, should I also set components automatically size the SGA.
  
  SQL > show sga;
  
  Total System Global Area 4008620032 bytes
  Bytes of size 2227656 fixed
  2013266488 variable size bytes

  Another point: when I own in initsid.ora file, I'm sga_target parameter is not reflecting here... I have to manually add it in file. see below:

  * .shared_pool_reserved_size = 197133336
  * .shared_pool_size = 1979711488

  Whether and how performance will be really depends on how much memory components should be and how they are used. Forums are unable to answer your question.

  You can use memory advisors in Enterprise Manager to see how Oracle recommend memory components to be.

  "unused" within the SGA memory is automatically attributed to the DB_CACHE_SIZE, SHARED_POOL_SIZE etc. components.

• Problem of control file

  My oracle 11 g on RED hat 5. I changed the values of the parameter control_files = ('/ disk1/.../control1.ctl ',' / disk3/.../control2.ctl') in the init file $ORACLE_SID.ora.
  When I start my database and the modified instance values isn't that rather the old value appears.
  
  Published by: user5166350 on February 25, 2012 10:07

  Hello

  As previously posted, the PFILE (initSID.ora) file has been modified, but the database can use the SPFILE.

  So you can do the following:

  startup nomount
  show parameter pfile
  

  If you receive a response like this:

  SQL> show parameter pfile
  
  NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  spfile                               string      C:\APP\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1
                                                   \DATABASE\SPFILEORION.ORA
  

  Then your database, use a SPFILE.

  In this case, you can run this:

  create pfile from spfile;
  

  Then your SPFILE is recorded in the init.ora.

  You change initSID.ora and save.

  Subsequently, you can run this:

  shutdown immediate
  startup nomount pfile='/init.ora'
  create spfile from pfile;
  shutdown immediate
  startup
  

  Hope this helps.

• Doubt on cloning

  Hi all
  
  Our production database is using newspaper archive and we'll take cold and RMAN backup daily weekly backup. After taking cold backup and create a new instance with cold backup using quick clone, the new instance doesnot a log mode archive programmed in initSID.ora file, some would explain the reason.

  After taking cold backup and create a new instance with cold backup using quick clone, the new instance doesnot a log mode archive programmed in initSID.ora file, some would explain the reason.

  This is an expected behavior as quick Clone does not allow default archivelog mode and you have to manually enable once you are done with the cloning.

• Location of SPfile

  Hi all
  
  I'm using Oracle 11 g 2 CARS, two nodes with ASM on Linux OEL 5.5.
  
  My spfile location was: SPFILE='+DATA/orcl/spfileorcl1.ora' on both nodes.
  I started the node 1, and then I created a pfile from spfile file using the command: create pfile from spfile.
  then I restarted the node 1 startup pfile = 'location '.
  
  Now I want to recover and use the spfile with Instance 1 so what I did, is to create spfile from pfile and started node instance 1
  
  But the new location of the spfile Node1 is: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/spfileorcl11.ora
  
  My questions:
  1. how I can move the node 1 back to ASM location spfile ' + DATA/orcl /'?
  
  Knowing that the value of the SID for spfile in V$ spparameter *.
  and in each instance is gaving me a different value of the spfile in parameter$ v:
  On node 1, it is: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/spfileorcl11.ora
  on node 2, it is: SPFILE='+DATA/orcl/spfileorcl1.ora'
  
  So what my database spfile use? and how can move back the spfile of node1 to ASM?
  
  Kind regards

  1. how I can move the node 1 back to ASM location spfile ' + DATA/orcl /'?

  Once you have started proceeding with pfile, now if you want to start with spfile. Either you have to bounce back and point exact spfile disk as group

  VI initsid.ora
  SPFile = "+ data...". »

  Now start with this file pfile. So that you can use in rebound following spfile

  2. the two Instances use same spfile?
  Yes.

• The fastest way to move a database to another server even.

  Hello gurus,
  Normally, I have worked with exp/imp, but now our database is too large to move this way takes about 24 hours for export and import. We bought new hardware and I need to go the new material on the production database. Operating system is the same Red Hat Enterprise rel 5.6 Linux 64 bit, oracle is the same 10.2.0.40 same block and character size, 64-bit, only difference, is that the new hardware has space more physical and better memory. Is there an easy way to move the data by copying on the control files and data files to a new server? I have not tried, data pump or transportable tablespaces, and I have limited time - so this request. I need to find the solution the faster your advice, so I can learn quickly how to implement your recemendation.
  My export .dmp database size is 34GB.
  Any advice would be great!

  No need to run a database create new host - already built sound at the source. Make a software 'only' install and get the ORACLE_HOME corrected and updated, you'll clone basically just the database to the new instance.

  As long as the source database is in archivelog mode, you can put the database in backup mode, copy the files of data, complete backup to the source mode and make a log switch.

  Here's a detail how at: http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm

  Instead of step to RECOVER the DATABASE, we use ' database to RECOVER up to TIME AAAA-MM-JJ HH24:MI:SS to the AID of BACKUP CONTROLFILE; "and the value until the time a second or two beyond the"... save end;' timestamp to the source instance. "

  You will need this archivelog, maybe encourage the file generated after the ends of the mode of backup and recovery for ARC files more a couple, depending on the activity of update to the source. If using a spfile, originally executed 'create a spfile pfile=/.../initSID.ora;' scp this file to the new host, adjust as required.

  Maybe you'll want to change DB_NAME, then the '... The DATABASE VALUE... "part of the controlfile create is necessary. Updated the SERVICE_NAME and if using LOCAL_LISTENER adjust the host = properly.

  If the directory paths are all the same, it is even easier. And if the are not, path names can be corrected in the script of create controlfile.

• A cold decent backup script

  Oracle version: 11 G release 2
  Platform: AIX
  
  After going through various messages OTN, I wrote the script for cold backup (Untested) below. If there is some unnecessary stuff or improvements, please let me know
  

  $ rman target /
  RMAN>
  run
  {
       allocate channel c1  type disk format '/u05/rmanbkp/%d_COLD_DB_%u';
       sql 'alter system archive log current';
       shutdown immediate;
       startup mount;
       backup database including current controlfile tag='mydbname_full_bkp';
       backup spfile tag = 'mydbname_SPFILE';
       release channel c1;
  }

  Not in the script.
  But I would make sure that ORACLE_HOME backups, parameter files (tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, initSID.ora, spfileSID.ora, encryption key portfolio) and scripts (RMAN scripts, database administration scripts) are also stored separately.

• Conversion of character on heterogeneous queries?

  Hello
  
  We have a database of Oracle 11 g (11.1.0.7.0) running on a Windows 2003 SP1 server. Heterogeneous connectivity has been implemented in a database (2002) MS SQL Server. While the link itself works properly, with queries returning expected results, we are however facing a problem with character set conversion. For example, the French character e (e-acute) is not translated correctly and results in an "ORA-29275: partial multibyte character sets", when queries are made against the line of the table containing this character.
  
  The SQL Server database uses the ISO8859-1 character set, and our database uses AL32UTF8.
  
  In the configuration for the heterogeneous link initSID.ora file, we set the character set (used by SQL Server) as follows:
  
  HS_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN_AMERICA. WE8ISO8859P1
  
  However this did not result in character set translation underway.
  
  We have also tried to set the "Perform translation for character data" option in the MS. ODBC driver This gave not the result you want either.
  
  What I want to know is:
  
  (1) how to set up a heterogeneous link correctly to perform the character set translation?
  
  (2) if (1) above is not possible, what alternatives are there to achieve?
  
  Thank you
  William Walker

  In general, the conversation should work. You must make sure no conversation of characters is enabled in the ODBC driver and WE8 characters even no HS_LANGUAGE must be set in the gateway configuration file.

  Most commonly the corrupted output is happening, because the application that can display the characters is not conform to unicode. So digging into your question, I would say:

  1 using SQl Developer as a client - SQL Developer is unicode compatible and available for free on: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
  2. When you select now in your table, the characters now appear correctly?

  If this isn't the case, please continue:
  3. now, create a demo table in your SQL Server (if possible):
  create table french_char (col1, col2 varchar integer (20));
  and insert a recording of the demo:
  insert into french_char values (1, 'eec')
  4. use developer SQL and the gateway to select in this demo table:
  Select "col1", "col2", dump("col2",16) "french_char" @;
  and the output.

  Also, check the key to register ORACLE belonging to the ORACLE_HOME containing DG4ODBC installation and provide me with the NLS_LANG parameter.

• IFILE

  Hello
  
  What is the purpose of IFILE in oracle when it wil use

  Hello
  IFile is a parameter that you use in your init file to point to another pfile file that contains all the parameters of your. In your pfile 'initSID.ora' file, you add after line

  iFile = / day_pfile.ora

  This will make your database so that it starts with this settings file. Then, you edit pfile as follows

  iFile = / night_pfile.ora

  the names of your actual settings files that also explain why you want to use IFILE. If you have several settings files and sometimes you want to use a specific file with the init parameters and a few times that you want to use different settings with different settings file, so you can use the ifile parameter in your init file mail mentioning what parameter file you want to actually use.

• Switching of pfile from spfile

  Oracle 11.0.1.7:
  
  Ask a fundamental question. We got a new database, but that it is currently using pfile. I mean spfile parameter is EMPTY or NULL. How can I make the change as Oracle starts using the spfile? I create spfile spfile to create but when I try to change the spfile parameter I get the following:
  

  SQL> alter system set spfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0.7/dbs/spfileprf01.ora' scope=both;
  alter system set spfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0.7/dbs/spfileprf01.ora' scope=both
  *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-32017: failure in updating SPFILE
  ORA-32019: The parameter SPFILE cannot be updated in the server parameter file.

  I can update in good memory.
  
  Another question I have is to start up Oracle how to know if she should use pfile or spfile?

  Another question I have is to start up Oracle how to know if she should use pfile or spfile?

  If $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileSID.ora exists, it will be used first.
  If there is no such thing as spfile & initSID.ora file exists in the folder /dbs, it will be used.
  Or, if
  STARTUP PFILE =
  or
  START = SPFILE
  either use the file can reside in oin any folder as any filename.
