Thank you both but I do not believe this is what I am looking for. I was aware of both your suggestions, but that is not it.
Maybe a explanation of what happened. I was on one of my Linux systems
loading Oracle on it for the first time in /u01. The load stop due to a
linux program missing (readline). I aborted install, loaded the programs,
deleted /u01 and /etc/oratab and /etc/oraInst.loc. I then went to install
again. This time the install system had the old name of I used during the
first install (dwdev). I thought I had completely deleted all traces of
the old install and am trying to find out where oracle go this 'old' info.

Svrmgrl gets it's info from the IFILE, which is at a fixed location and contains the link to the real location of the PFILE. On NT (8i) the IFILE can be found at <Drive>:/%ORACLE_HOME%/database/init<sid>.ora. At startup, Oracle will start the database defined in ORACLE_SID. (Should be declared first before you do anything)Received on Tue Mar 19 2002 - 21:05:44 CSTRegards
