Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re:oratab file
Babu,
There already is a parameter in oratab to indicate whether or not you start/stop a database. Anything else in that vein would be highly custom for the site. I Know I use one to tell dbstart & dbshut if there is a listener and/or name server that should be handled as part of the process. But I've not had any OEM problems with it. Actually OEM should not be able to see that file, it's just talking to the listener. Now is editing the file supported by OTS, that's harder to define. As for the first three parameters, sid/oracle_home/Y or N, I believe we can assume they support that since that's whet they were placed there for. Outside of that your kind of on your own, although I have not had a problem with OTS on the matter.

On one of the database servers we have, the oratab file has been changed to include a :<parameter> after each entry and that parameter is used to determine whether the database is supposed to be shutdown at a certain time.
It kind of struck me as a odd way to do this... This created problems for me when I was trying to get OEM discover this database and I had to remove this parameter to get OEM discover the database.
So the question is : Have you seen this some where else? Is this (editing of oratab) supported?
PS : This is not my database. I had to look into it for some other reason and I discovered this.
TIA Babu
