Help me : init.ora

Help me : init.ora

To start Oracle using a non-default init.ora or spfile use:

startup pfile=location_of_init.ora OR
startup spfile=location_of_spfile

The init.ora can contain a pointer to the spfile. This is actually required
on some platforms for some environments such as RAC on AIX.

Before attempting to start this database using a copy init.ora I would
perform a search for the referenced init.ora file to see if perhaps it is
under a different directory structure as in a different Oracle home.
Multiple versions might be in use.

Hi,
Oracle looks for a file called "init <SID_NAME >.ora " in the ORACLE_HOME
defined in your environment. So considering the files you could find it
looks like you had/have a database instance called JASPERDB running. So,
yes, make a copy of the init.ora file and call it initNSTRADER.ora.

I know of no way of Oracle telling you which init.ora or spfile it actually
used to start up.

Regards

Pete

Subject: Help me : init.ora



Can someone please help me . I am using Linux AS with
database 9.2 . Somehow ....my database goes down . I
need to restart the database but it gave this error.

ORA-01078 (See ORA-01078.ora-code.com): failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file
'/database/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/initNSTRADER.ora '

So i went to the directory
/database/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/

and found that iniNSTRADER.ora is not there instead
i only have this file :
initdw.ora
init.ora
lkJASPERDB
orapwJASPERDB
spfileJASPERDB.ora

Can you pls tell me should i change the init.ora file
to initNSTRADER.ora so that the database can find this
file.

Apart from this , i would also like to know, is that
possible to know which init file the database file is
currently using ? If i have more than 2 initABC.ora
and initDEF.ora file then how can i check which file
the database is currently using ?

Appreciate

JKean
