Hi All, I have inherited a couple of databases on one of the servers here. The server was taken down for hardware repairs during the week and when it came back up the databases did not start. (They are set to start automatically via the services)
I have done some research via the internet and I deleted and recreated the service via the ORADIM utility. But this has n't fixed it. I have to manually go into and start the databases (explicitly stating where the init.ora file is) I am getting this error message when I go in via SQLPLUS /NOLOG (connected as internal) Startup error message LRM-00109 can not open parameter file '%oracle_home%/database/init%oracle_sid%.ora If I do a startup pfile=c:\oracle\ora81\database\initwms.ora it starts as normal. I've checked that the oracle home is defined as c:\oracle\ora81 so I am beginning to suspect it has something to do with the oracle sid. In registry the ora_wms_pfile location is set to c:\oracle\ora8\database\initwms.ora We have 4 different instances on this box and none of them will start automatically. Oracle version 8.1.7 running on a Windows Server 2000 box Any help appreciated, Thanks, N.
