Title: PFILE location in NT

Like I said "I have two parameter files in two different directories on the same machine". I more of a UNIX guy so I know that if I want to look at the pfile in unix I would go directly to the ORACLE_HOME/DBS directory. But in NT, it is only at the time of instance creation that the pfile location can be specified. Therefore I am looking for some command/utility that can tell me that path after the DB creation.

Couldn't you look at the name of the db in the pfile and compare it to the sid in sqlplus?

Hi all,
I have two parameter files in two different directories on the same machine. Is there a way I can find out which parameter file is being used by the database.

One way I tried was to make the changes in one file and see if it takes effect when the database is restarted. but I have more than 52 machines and it will be time consuming to do the same for all machines especially when these machines are on remote locations.

Thanks.
Shahid.
