Find out the name of parameter file while oracle is running

can any one please tell me how can i find the name of oracle parameter file while oracle is running, i mean is there any parameter that specifies this thing, or is there any data dictionary view
second thing i want to change the default database i mean istead of starting the default database at startup the oracle should start the database that i specify,
i would be greatfull if any one could answer my questions

Ok, so you're running with SPFILE in default location. The file you speak about is used during the database create phase.
Just having a look at the file:
c:\oracle\admin\orcl\pfile\init.ora.1142006183316I can say that:
. The SID is ORCL
. You used DBCA to create the database
. DBCA started creating the database: Saturday 11 of February 2006 at 18:33
This file is used by the DBCA because when you create a database, you must have a parameter file in order to start the instance. This file is easily created as a text file (PFILE) first, then the instance is started. Once the database creation is over, the SPFILE is created from this PFILE. If you check the database create logs (in the %ORACLE_BASE%\admin\ORCL\* directory) you'll see a "CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE" is ran after the database creation, or before, it depends, and the instance restarted in order for it to use the newly created SPFILE. After that, this file is useless.

  • How do you find out the name of a file in a specific folder

    The problem I have is that I want to read from a file located on the harddrive. I know where it is located and that it is the last updated folder, but not the name of it.
    The reason for why I want the name is that I want to read som values from that specific file.
    Hope for fast answer.

  • How to find out the format of a file?

    Is there any way to find out the format of a file?
    By format I mean binary, text, .doc, .rtf, etc. Please kindly help

    The unix file command:
    file *
    foo.doc ms-office file / word
    bar.png png image, 32x32 pixels, no transparency
    moo.hhml html text
    note that as in the last - file names are ignored, it works by checking the beginning of each file's data against it's database, and as in #2 it can sometimes see a lot more than just the file format.

  • How to find out the name of a table?

    Hi
    How can I find out the name of a table which doesn't have a record history?
    Regards
    Rahman

    No direct way to know the tables. What you will find on the ABout this page link are the View Object (similar to record sets), Entity objects, controller and Application module. Generally EO is based on a table or the VO can be based on the query which you can find the corresponding xml file. But a button action might be calling a method in AM or CO which in turn call some wrapper method to interact with database. So nothing straight forward. You will have to analyze the all page related code objects.
    They are specific to OA framework and if you are not aware about them, better go through the initial chapters of OAF dev guide.

  • Is it possible to find out the names of the various objects (jpegs, pdf's, etc) in a keynote presentation?

    I have to re do a keynote presentation for powerpoint -- the export feature won't work on the pc -- it simply says that it wasn't possible to display some of the text and objects because they had become corrupted, and were replaced with blank slides.  I was wondering if it's possible to find out the names of the objects used in the presentation.  That way I could save them to a folder and just paste them in to the PPT version on the PC.  I know they have to be somewhere on the Mac that the presentation was made on, so is it also possible to find out where they would be?
    I tried right clicking on the objects in the slide, but there was no 'get info' option, like there is in a finder window.  Please help if you can.
    Chris

    There are a few options for you here. In the Inspector>Metrics Tab, when you click on the picture, it will display the name. Then you can use the find feature of the Finder to locate the picture. If you have Keynote set to save files as Packages, you can right click the file in the Finder (or control click) and then select Show Package Content. This will show you all the files that make up your Keynote and you can copy the pictures out of there into a new folder. Finally, if you can't find them any other way, you can select and copy the picture in Keynote, then open Preview and command-n (or File Menu>New from Clipboard) and then save the file to where ever you want so you can find it.

  • How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

    Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
    If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone? 

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

    Probably. You'll need to make sure that VB guest can see your USB ports. You'll need the VB wiki pages for that though.
    I don't use it, so can't help, sorry.

  • Find out the name of the info cube with the query name

    hey,its a very general question..how to find out the name of the infocube or ods if we have the name of the query...and how far is sq01 helpful for this...thanks..

    Tom,
    There are many ways... but, SQ01 is not one of them (unless someone has built a query for that).
    1) Transaction RSRT, paste the technical name of the query, and hit enter. InfoProvider name will be inserted by the system.
    2) Open the query in BEx and look at the properties.
    3) Metadata Repository
    4) Table RSRREPDIR

  • How do I find out the size of a file, trying to make a DVD and told the fil

    Made a slide show project with music and trying to write to dvd. Computer tells me the file is to large and to use a dual sided disk. I cut may slides out but no luck. How do you find out the file size?

    Hi
    And SlideShows has a limit of 99 slides per show.
    I rather assemble mine in iMovie HD 6 where as QuickTimeKirk states
    it only has Time as a limit dep. on encoding method selected and if Single or Double layer DVDs
    Single Layer (for DL double time) - TIME includes menu - keeping it simple gives more to movie.
    (I prefere "Brushed Metal" no audio, no animation.)
    • Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above

  • How to find out the names of front-end servers in Apps ?

    Hi,
    In the setup wherein we have mutiple front end servers (Apache running on all nodes, CM running on one of them, Forms server running on one/more of them etc ..) is there any way to know the node-names ?
    FND_NODES table lists only the CM node name
    FND_APPLICATION_SERVERS from 11.5.9 onwards doesnt have any info I guess
    What is the find this out
    Thanks

    "wherever the parameter is set to YES it means this is the node you are looking for "My question is
    I do not know the node names itself
    And thats what I am looking for
    We have very huge setup with mutiple instances and I was not part of the implementation team
    Each Apps instance has about 4 or 5 front ends. They are in the farm setup over the NAS
    I need to know the names of these 4 / 5 servers for each instance
    Apart from asking the senior / old-timer DBAs in the team or the documentation or asking sysadmins, is there any way from the 11i Apps metadata information, I can get this info
    FND_NODES in this farm type of setup just shows the name of the load balancer virtal server to which all these 4 or 5 servers point to
    But not the actual names of the servers
