SIR,
I REQUEST YOUR PARDON FOR THOSE MY LINES.IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS I NEED OF IT BADLY.ORACLE DB IS WORKING PERFECTLY.AS I HAVE INSTALLED FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTION GIVEN IN THE OREILLY WEB SITE. ORACLE WAS WORKING WELL AND GOOD WHEN I HAD TO CHANGE MY SYSTEM'S HARD DISK TO A BIGGER 60GB HDD. SINCE I CAN INSTALL ORACLE BY JUST COPYING THE ORACLE FOLDER IN LINUX. I DID THAT. I CREATED THE GROUP AND USER TO RUN ORACLE. I SET THE KERNEL PARAMETERS.I STARTED WORKING ON IT. THEN DUE TO YEAR END I DIDNT USE MY PC FOR A WEEK. NOW WHEN I START ORACLE AGENT I GET ERROR. THE SECOND ERROR I HAD MENTIONED EARLIER WAS THAT I COULDNT LOGIN AS SYS,SYSTEM OR ANY OTHER USER. I WAS GETTING ERROR ORA-01031 INSUFFICIENT PRIVILEGES.
I CORRECTED IT BY DELETING THE EXISTING PASSWORD FILE AND RECREATED IT. NOW I CAN LOGIN AS SYS WITH SYSDBA PRIVILEGE. I CAN USE DB I HAD USED BEFORE... MY TENSION NOW IS WHAT ALL PROCESSES WILL BE AFFECTED BY ORACLE AGENT.?
CAN I CORRECT THE ERROR BY ANY MEANS....? OR SHOULD I NEED TO UNINTSALL ORACLE AND INSTALL IT AGAIN? EXPECTING REPLY,
