Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> What file can I use to determine if the instance is up ?
For 7.3 I have been using
/usr/oracle/dbs/sgadef$SID.dbf
For 8.x I have been using
/usr/oracle/product/8.1.6/dbs/lk$SID ]
but this morning I found this file existed but the instance was not up.
Is there a more correct file or way to do this ? Received on Tue Jan 02 2001 - 09:53:47 CST
