Hi,

it is in d:\oracle\ora8

Many thanks before.

How to find current init.ora file

I have 2 issues:
Issue 1:--
I have some 4-5 init.ora file which are created by some other user and facing difficulties to find exact init.ora which is used by my oracle 9.2 database. same thing for spfile.
Is there any way so that i can find the currently use init.ora file?
Issue 2:
I want to change init.ora file parameters for the oracle9.2(siebel).
Presently default it is showing optimizer_mode=CHOOSE
I have tried to change to RULE but not refelecting after database restart.
at session level i can modify but i want permanent change and for thius i tried with
user SYS as SYSDBA with
ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_mode=RULE;
but getting following Oracle erroe message
ORA-02096 specified initialization parameter is not modifiable with this option
Cause: Though the initialization parameter is modifiable, it cannot be modified using the specified command.
Action: Check the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information about under what scope the parameter may be modified
How we can make changes in init.ora file?
Regards
Junu

As far as I know, there's no possible way to find out which parameter file was used to start instance. And, even if it was, I don't really see much sense in it because parameter file is a client-side file, and usually it required to start up Oracle instance remotely.
In principle, parameter files are obsolete beasts, consider using server parameter file (SPFILE) instead. And, for SPFILE, it's pretty easy to find out its location:
SQL> show parameter pfile
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
spfile                               string      %ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE\SPFILE%
                                                 ORACLE_SID%.ORAAs for your ORA-02096 error, you have two opportunities to resolve it.
If you decided to use SPFILE, create one (for example, using CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE command), start your instance with SPFILE then issue:
ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_mode=RULE SCOPE = SPFILE;and bounce your instance.
If you still wish to use old-style parameter file, you have to add corresponding setting into that file manually (it's a plain text file in fact) and restart instance.
Regards.
P.S.: Why do you want to enforce rule-based optimizer by the way?...

Usage of init.ora file ?

Hi everybody,
can anyone explain me in detail about the usage of init.ora
file. thank u
hav fun
prabhu.

Prabhu,
As you probably noticed, one book is not enough when preparing for the exams. Also, you need a library of books just to be a DBA. Although some people could do it strictly from memory, when you are working with live systems, it helps to have an extensive collection to reference on a day to day basis. The following is a list of my most recommended books. For a syntax reference book, I would reference "Oracle8i: The Complete Reference" by Kevin Loney and George Koch. Although this will give you the syntax you need to compose the "Create Database" script, you will still need the other books to understand what parameters you will want to set.
"Oracle8i: The Complete Reference" by Kevin Loney,George Koch
"Oracle8i DBA Handbook" by Kevin Loney,Marlene Theriault
"Oracle8i Backup and Recovery" by Rama Velpuri,Anand Adkoli,George Williams
"Oracle8i DBA: Network Administration" by Barbara Ann Pascavage
"Oracle8i PL/SQL Programming" by Scott Urman
"Oracle Performance Tuning Tips & Techniques" by Richard Niemiec, Bradley Brown, Joseph Trezzo
This is not the complete list of books that you will want as a DBA. There are many great books on Oracle. This is mainly my core recommended reads. If you are studying for your certification, don't be surprised if it takes you a long time to prepare. It is not unusual for it to take more than a year to become certified as the Oracle exams are pretty thorough and require a lot of information. I would also recommend you take the practice exams prior to taking the certification exams. I still have nightmares about taking the Performance Tuning exam. (And I'm no slouch.) I'm not trying to scare you out of taking the exams because I believe that they are very beneficial to DBAs. It will give you a more rounded education in Oracle database administration. Especially if you haven't had a lot of exposure to database administration. Before you take the exams, you will have to understand the application of the knowledge and not just the book material. And it's a lot of material. Good luck to you.

Init.ora file location

Hi,
Is there any query by which i can find out the location of init.ora file. We are using unix server.
Thanks in advance.

The location of the init.ora file was not stored in the database because with Oracle8 it was possible to start the db remotely using a local init.ora file ( I never did it myself but I did read about it, proberbly on asktom). So a '/tmp/init.ora' would have been meaningless because you would not know which machine it refered to.
If you have lost your init.ora file it is possible to recreate it by quering v$parameter, if your on 9i or above you can do
'create pfile from spfile' to get a new copy if you are using an spfile that is! A 'find' on the unix might be the quickest!!

Changing init.ora file

Hi,
I need to add the utl_file_dir parameter to the init.ora file. Do I need to restart the database for the changes to be effective?

Regards,
Bala.Taken note of yingkuan's comments about directory objects - which don't need a utl_file_dir entry - if you really still need to know (on e-business suite or some other product that needs them) then UTL_FILE_DIR is an initialisation parameter which takes a comma separated list of directories on the database server and to which the oracle software owner (usually oracle on *nix systems and system on windows) has read/write access. To set it therefore you'll need to identify or create your directory and then either
a) add the line UTL_FILE_DIR=/path/to/dir1, /path/to/dir2
to your init.ora if you are using one or use
b) ALTER SYSTEM SET UTL_FILE_DIR=/path/to/dir1, /path/to/dir2 SCOPE=SPFILE;
if you are using a server parameter file.
You should be able to find this and more information in the documentation for your version of Oracle.

Init.ora file changes

Hi,
I changed the init.ora file for some reason and I have applied some patches in OS(microsoft windows 2003 server) and i noticed in the init.ora file that all changes in the init.ora file gone !!
Can someone explain me, what was the reason behind that ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
<humor>You have to check urgently for the green little pfile changer halfling!</humor>
Seriously.. did you do both at the same time? If so... are you sure you save the init file? Cause there's no way such changes are rolled back except if you did not saved the file... or restored an old version of your pfile!

Yoann ;-)

Changing the directory Structure of Jsp and web.xml files

Hi,
I am using the JDeveloper 11g preview. Can any one tell me how to change the Jsp and web.xml files ( not in WEB-INF directory of the application) to another directory.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Frank,
Is it possible for me to change the folder structure which JDeveloper is providing for web project?
By default JDeveloper is giving the following folder structure.
In the project's root folder there is a public_html and src folder along with .jpr file.
In public_html folder thre is an WEB-INF folder and a jsp file
In WEB-INF folder there is an classes folder along with web.xml file.
I need to have the following folder structure :
The WEB-INF folder should be in root folder of project not in public_html folder
src folder must be in WEB-INF folder.
Thanks in Advance

After an import, replace the init.ora file?

I have just successfully imported a database from Oracle8i to Oracle10g. Now, is it safe to replace the init.ora file?

Replace the 10g init file with the 8i? Nope. You should be reading the release notes and upgrade guide, and taking into account the obsolecense of some parameters, the introduction of new ones, etc.
Also, your control files are probably in a different location, you have different RBS's etc..

Which process reads the spfile/init.ora file

Hi,
When we start the Oracle DB using "STARTUP" command, which background process reads the spfile/init.ora file?
Also on startup, which process reads the control file?

Hi,
I think the oracle executable.. In the alert log file below you can see that spfile is read first. After that the oracle background processes are initialized.

HT201361 Can I change the directory where screen capture saves the png files?

hi:
screen capture questions:
1) Can I change the directory/place where the macbook (maverick osx) screen capture it putting the png/images?
Currently it is going to my desktop and I would like it in another spot.
2) Can I change the default name to include a number e.g so each screen capture increments by 1 rather than telling sequence by time?
thankyou

If you use the Grab.app in Applications/Utilities, you can name the file whatever you want and place it whereever you want. Filenames are not automatically incremented, however.
The disadvantage is that it saves the capture only in .tiff format, not .png
But double-clicking on the saved .tiff file will open it in Preview.app, and you can then Option+Save As in .png format in that same folder, or elsewhere.
Grab.app has some other nice features too, such as selecting a cursor shape to be displayed (or none), and doing a timed screen capture.
And of course there are other apps...

How Can I change the Directory and Name of Coded UI Test Result html file

I'm Using Visual Studio 2013
Now I can find the Coded UI test result html file insde the following path
TestProjectFolder\TestResults\2015_01_22_05_59\In\anotherfolder\MyMachineName\UiTestActionLog.html
VS2013 enables editing the name structure of this folder only (2015_01_22_05_59). and it should contains a static name+DateTime (Using the Project TestSettings).
I need to (Programatically)
Collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name (Change the path of the test result file)
Put the testcase name on the result file name (for example : TC13505_ValidateScreenComponents_2015_01_22_05_59)
If possible,Programatically attach the html result file to the test case attachements
More Details:
I need to set a custom valus for (ResultsDirectory -
TestLogsDir -TestResultsDirectory
- TestName) on the runtime.
please if any onw know how to do the previous tasks
by code, please share your knowledge.
Regards, Ahmed Elgazar Skype:A7medelgazar

Hi AhmedElgazar,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
As you said that you want to collect all test result html files on one folder with the project name by programmatically way to change the path of test result file in coded UI test.
As far as I know that when we run a coded UI test every time, it is default that there will create a new folder to save the new UITestActionLog.html.
So we could not change the path of test result file and collect all test result html files on one folder in VS IDE.
At present, there have no way to collect all test result html files on one folder and change the test result file path.
In addition, I know that we can change the TestResults folder using mstest.exe in command line.
