Re: Oracle8.1.7 on NT-Problems

Sigurd,

    The OMS is a NT service called oracle management service. You should see if in the control panel, services box. You need to start this service in order to use Enterprise Manager. In order to do a backup of the database, the easiest way is to shutdown the database and copy all of the files, datafiles, redo logs, control files, etc. If the machine you're copying to has a different disk layout you'll need to regen the control files. Otherwise you should just place the files in the same locations as they were on the source machine, same directory structures, and add the service to the new machine using oradim and the database should start.
