Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> WIN NT reinstalled without proper steps taken
Greetings,
My sysadmin reinstalled the winNT OS on my DB (oracle 7.3.4) server
without taking the proper steps. Now i am left with several
directories full of control files. init files, data files but no
instances to start the servers. I have tried to create new instances
using the existing init files but they do not work. currently the
error i get when connecting is "ora-12500 TNS failed to start
dedicated server process" can anyone give me a brief rundown on the
steps i should take to recreate my instances and have them point at
the correct datafiles. right now i have no databases or instances
running successfully.
if you wish respond to me at collierj_at_tteam.com
any help will be _greatly_ appreciated as i am in a bit over my head
at this point.
