Dear List Members,  

Has anyone encountered the following problem on Sun Sparc Solaris 5.8?  

If I use symbolic links, create database stmt fails in oracle 9.2.0.1. If I

remove the soft links, create database stmt succeeds.  

I am forced to remove symbolic links and use direct path for Logfiles,

system file, tempfile and undofile etc. from the create database stmt. Does

it mean that the symbolic links are not permitted in Oracle 9.2.0.1 ? I

have several 8.1.7.4 databases that use symbolic links. Do I need to change

them before upgrading to 9.2.0.1? Am I obligated to follow OFA in 9.2 ??  

Please let me know if anyone has experienced the above problem.  

I am on Sun Sparc Solaris 5.8.  

• Babu
