Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: which initSID?
Hi
I always have my init files in the OFA locations so I'm guessing here.
Isn't the startup command listed in the alertlog if you use the pfile
command?
Sounds like a good one to be in there.

Please respond to ORACLE-L
Well the best way. If you are using a UNIX box. go to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin and view the file dbstart. Here you will find the locaton of you initSID.ora file. This is only true if you use the dbstart for starting your database or you use the /etc/oratab file to startup the database at boot up.

This will not give you solution. As backup of controlfile to trace will not give initSID.ora file path.
Actually as per my knowledge there is no table which gives path of initSID.ora file. What you can do is find all init parameter files in your system. Then check SID part of your filename. If you have any doubt then also count SGA of each initSID.ora and your database SGA.
This is not 100 percent correct and also seems to be some what tedious but you can try this for your database.

Jaimin.

Can't you do it indirectly with an 'alter database backup controlfile to trace' command? I seem to recall that there's a path to the initSID.ora file there. 'Course, it could be just the generic path...I never tried changing it to see...

Unless, the init.ora uses ifile option and the file pointed to by ifile contains all the parameters. In that case you can query v$parameter view to see what ifile points to. By default Oracle looks for it in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. HTH, - Kirti Deshpande Verizon Information Services http://www.superpages.comReceived on Tue Jun 26 2001 - 08:20:15 CDT
