What file init.ora in use?

I found init.ora in a few places.


How can I determine what my oracle init.ora file uses?


Y at - it a command sqlplus a fine the init.ora in use?


So far, I found them here:


c:\oracle11g\dbs\init.ora


c:\oracle11g\admin\mydb1\pfile\init.ora.8172009222712


Which is active?


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • Install PT8.53 with Linux: the parameter file "init.ora" question CONTROL_FILE

    People,


    I install PeopleTools 8.53 with Linux. I'm confused on the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the file "init.ora". My SID is PT853 with the file "initPT853.ora". In the document setup 8.53 PeopleTools, there are 2 statements about CONTROL_FILES parameter like below:


    First of all, Page 161 task b 6-1-3: create an INIT < SID >. ORA file

    CONTROL_FILES = (/ filesystem1/cntrl1 < SID >, / filesystem2/cntrl2 < SID >)


    Second, Page 162 task b 6-1-4: creating paths of target directory


    CREATEDB10. SQL script:

    startup nomount pfile = $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init < SID > .ora

    data file
    ' / u01/oradata / < SID > / system01.dbf' size 400M

    logfile
    ' / u01/oradata / < SID > / log01.dbf'M 70, size
    ' / u01/oradata / < SID > / log02.dbf'M 70, size
    ' / u01/oradata / < SID > / log03.dbf' size M 70;


    Control file references:
    control_files = ("" / u01/oradata/test92/control01.ctl "," / u01/oradata/test92/control02.ctl "," / u01/oradata/test92/control03.ctl "")


    When we created PeopleTools 8.53 of database using $PT_HOME/setup/PsMpDbInstall/setup.sh, we need to specify the mount point for the scripts createdb.sql, the utlspace.sql and the xxddl.sql. I use / U01 for all 3 scripts and create the directory/u01/oradata/PT853/manually.


    My questions are:

    Firstly, should the 2 items "/ filesystem1/cntrl1 < SID > ' and ' / filesystem2/cntrl2 < SID > ' CONTROL_FILES be the same with the directory path/u01/oradata/PT853/created manually?

    Second, should "/ filesystem1/cntrl1 < SID >" be changed to "/u01/oradata/PT853/cntrl01PT853.ctl and" / filesystem2/cntrl2 < SID > "be changed to" / u01/oradata/PT853/cntrl02PT853.ctl "in my case?

    Thirdly, how to create 2 files 'cntrl01PT853.ctl' and 'cntrl02PT853.ctl '? What are their contents?

    Thank you.

    I believe you are trying to create a demo database without understanding of basic on the RDBMS - your last question (to the control file) suggests.

    Work with your DBA on the part of database creation.

    Please go through the oracle database documentation to get a basic understanding of different files in oracle.

    Now, to answer your questions.

    1. Yes, anything you give in the init ora for parameter control_files file previously should exist while you run your createdb10.sql

    2. change any way you plan make the db files resident. Suppose you want the database in a path like/path/to/database/MYDB - to give him.

    3. you create control separately (in your case) files, the path/name of the file is taken from the init ora file and created as you run create sql db
    Content of the control file is in binary format: this is the heart of a database, holds all the information on the database, the name of db, file system, places change number etc...

  • What file type should I use?

    Hi all

    Finally, I build my book. Using elements 10 as my first. My workflow starts by creating a new file (file/new/white)

    I just finished the first page and to make sure I saved it as PDF, PNG, and JPEG. When all pages are made I'll print locally. I think that JPEG will be useful and this first page is only 8MB. I have decided that my other type of file should be, who will be the file that print. The PNG and PDF files were 60MB each. Should I continue to record as both? I'll probably go back and re-edit as well. Thank you.

    You have two issues:

    In order to re - edit later, save it as a TIFF or PSD (elements native file format).  These file formats maintain your layers and masks, so a re-Edition is a snap.

    When it's time to print, talk to the print shop that you'll use and ask them what file format they prefer.  Most places can manage PDF files.

  • Location and changing init.ora.

    Hello

    Oracle Version: 8i
    OPERATING SYSTEM: AIX 4

    1. how to get the current location of the running instance of database init.ora file?
    2. how to change the file init.ora and how changes take place?




    Thanks in advance.

    1. default location of the file on Unix init is /dbs/init.ora.

    There is no easy way to get it back if another location has been used in the startup command.

    2 init.ora can be modified with any editor such as vi. Once changed, you must restart the database instance to ensure init.ora took into account.

    Hello

    When we start the Oracle DB using the 'START' command, what background process reads the spfile/init.ora file?

  • How to create a single init.ora file for node 3 RAC to the title of the ASM

    All,

    Our environment is that a combination of different memory machines (V880, V490 & 250R) SUN of size.
    Establishing a single init.ora file that includes each of the memory of nodes in the SGA sizing is our desired configuration.
    Although we have created the file, the question becomes each NŒUD on the FCAC to use this unique setting
    file to launch its database instead of take the default init.ora file in the default directory (asm/dbs).

    As we conducted tests of failover, on restarting the instances they have restarted with bad memory
    definitions that have hung the nodes when it took more memory then what was available and the swap space has begun
    to develop.

    Steps to configure and activate the process, that's what I'm looking for.

  • How2 (a) FIND good init.ora (b) or other files param on application server?

    I can't find the INIT. ORA file on my application server. I need to change some default settings.
    I looked here, I looked at the settings$ v who reported a "SPFILE"... and I looked at who, and there all these parameters with asterisk. and I don't know what that means. I wanted to just increase the number of links allowed DB on my test server.

    Could someone point me to fix the folder / file / documentation?
    Thank you.

    I note the following folder on my... running App Server 10 g in the Windows XP box.

    C:\OraHomes\ORAH1_DEV\database... where the SPFILE.
    C:\OraHomes\admin\UGOSREPS\pfile... that's where an init.ora file is...

    I added two lines in second file... in the topic... (num a 4, the default)
    and stopped and started in the DB, but... nada. parameters of v$ 4 instead of the following still says...

    Open_links = 100
    open_links_per_instance = 100

    ... but I'm afraid to touch the SPFile, because he put in a different form.

    In C:\OraHomes are 5 folders... Admin, Flash_Recovery_Area, OraData, ORAH1_DEV and ORAH2_BI.

    H1 is where we part 1 of the installation of the App Server (the part 'infrastructure', be it be a Forms / Reports Server 10 g), and in which we also added APEX).

    H2 is where we part 2 installation (real forms / reports part server... He insisted on not being under the same roof.)

    H1 and H2 are both available through OEM and seem to be running. But... we test things, so I know I need to change the settings... the first being the link settings.

    Could someone please offer a clue? TX,

    SM

    In order to change the system settings in the SPFILE you must issue an ALTER SYSTEM SET... SCOPE = SPFILE;
    i.e.

    ALTER SYSTEM SET open_links = 100 SCOPE = SPFILE;

    Restart the DB and recheck the values.
