Hi All,
I have a system with 2 databases, both running on the same server 8.0.5. OS - Windows NT
When i connect thru server manager to TEST, and then issue STARTUP, it starts up the PROD database using the initPROD.ora file. On querying V$instance it shows INSTANCE_NAME = TEST On querying V$database it shows NAME=PROD. When i connect to PROD and STARTUP, it starts PROD using initPROD.ora On querying V$instance it shows INSTANCE_NAME = PROD On querying V$database it shows NAME=PROD.

The following registry parameters are set...

ORA_TEST_PFILE - Pointing to initTEST.ora ORA_PROD_PFILE - Pointing to initPROD.ora

What am i missing??

Regards,
Naveen
