RE: ORA-1078 During a 9iR2 Install

2002-11-01 Thread Gogala, Mladen
Scott, you probably have an error in your parameters.
Try "startup pfile=/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/init_MYSID.ora".
That should work.

I'm really new to 9i and I vaguely heard about the spfile, so I looked in
the Oracle9i New Features book (thanks RF!) to read up on the spfile.  I
noticed that it said that if an spfile was not created, it would default to

Was your database in mount,nomount,open or IDLE state?

I'm really new to 9i and I vaguely heard about the spfile, so I looked in 
the Oracle9i New Features book (thanks RF!) to read up on the spfile.  I 
noticed that it said that if an spfile was not created, it would default to 
look for the initSID.ora file.  Well, I opened a SQLPLUS session and tried 
to use the syntax in the book to create an spfile anyway and I got the 
following message:

--snip---

I think my whole problem is that the DBCA is supposed to create one for you 
and it never got to that point.  I got  the ORA-01078 error before it was 
ever created.

RE: ORA-1078 During a 9iR2 Install

2002-10-31 Thread Scott Stefick
I'm really new to 9i and I vaguely heard about the spfile, so I looked in 
the Oracle9i New Features book (thanks RF!) to read up on the spfile.  I 
noticed that it said that if an spfile was not created, it would default to 
look for the initSID.ora file.  Well, I opened a SQLPLUS session and tried 
to use the syntax in the book to create an spfile anyway and I got the 
following message:

--snip---
SQL> CREATE SPFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/REGENTDB/pfile/spfileREGENTDB.ora'
   FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/REGENTDB/pfile/initREGENTDB.ora';

CREATE SPFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/REGENTDB/pfile/spfileREGENTDB.ora'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01078: FAILURE IN PROCESSING SYSTEM PARAMETERS
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
HP-UX Error:  14 Bad address
Additional information: 1

SQL>
--snip---

I think my whole problem is that the DBCA is supposed to create one for you 
and it never got to that point.  I got  the ORA-01078 error before it was 
ever created.

Thanks so much,
-Scott

You should recreate your spfile. Oracle9i starts from an spfile, if it
exists
and some installations do put a ghost one in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs.
