Re: Oracle on NT versious UNIX

I have been compelled to use NT fro some Oracle 7X and 8X databases. In general I have limited them to decision support rather than OLTP. HPUX has much better support, but part of that is related to server architecture beyonf my control. However test dister recovery completely as follows:

Disaster recovery is much harder on NT, because you have to create an NT service. The steps in NT recovery are. re-install NT
re_install Oracle from the source CD
recover your file system
create an NT service using the commandline propt of oradimXX.exe Re configure the listener, and the TNSNAMES as required start up the database
Recover archived redo logs as required.

In HPUX there is no service to re-create mayooran wrote in message <20b9a238.30fe8ef2_at_usw-ex0110-073.remarq.com>...
