  Hi
  Shahid,   

  Did
  you specify a PFILE parameter in your startup ?   If
  not, o<SPAN
  class=991361609-03072001>n NT, the default location for the parameter file is   ORACLE_HOME\database.  Your database is using the file in this   location.

    Hi all, I have two parameter files
    in two different directories on the same machine. Is there a way I can find     out which parameter file is being used by the database.     One way I tried was to make the changes in one file and see     if it takes effect when the database is restarted. but I have more than 52     machines and it will be time consuming to do the same for all machines     especially when these machines are on remote locations.     Thanks. Shahid.    Received on Tue Jul 03 2001 - 08:18:46 CDT
