I use ifile w/out a problem in OpenVMS. Do you reference it w/ full path or logical? I don't like using init...ora and config...ora. I use an instance specific initSID.ora that ifile's a common init.ora file into each db. Its nice to put a change in 1 file and its applied to all dbs.

Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 4:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Greetings elitist *nix bigots, I'm starting to upgrade our OPS databases on OpenVMS from 7.3 to 8.1.7.3 and I've run into a problem with the IFILE parameter in the node specific init file. It appears Oracle is not reading the generic init.ora specified in the IFILE parameter in the node specific init file. Only parameters defined in the node specific init file are effective. Has anyone "been there, done that"?
