Init.ora has format like *.db_name

What's the difference for init.ora has format with *. as prefix and without?
Eg. *.db_name='prod' vs. db_name=prod
Thanks!

initialization parameter files are of two kinds... One is static init.ora (normal text file) and another one is dynamic init.ora (binary file).
You will fine * in dynamic init.ora . Don't do any thing there. Don't try to edit it.
Example from dynamic init.ora..
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
*.user_dump_dest='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0/admin/orcl/udump'
If you use (dynamic init.ora) SPFILE then you can change few parameters when the database is up.
More details are here...

  • Oracle 11g init.ora file

    1) I am a bit confused with init.ora file format in oracle 11g. In addition=
    to the usual entries that are prefixed with *.<parameter>, it also has ent=
    ries prefixed with <sid>.__<parameter>. I am not able to find an explanatio=
    n of these <sid>__ entries from oracle 11g documentation. I am told by a co=
    lleague that they are for instance, to cater for multiple-instances databa=
    ses. Is that correct?
    2) The presence of the <sid>.__ entries confuse me since some parameters ap=
    pear in both <sid>__ and *. sections. What if the values for the same param=
    eter are different, which one is used by oracle? I guess it's the <sid>.__ =
    one?=20
    3) In my case the database has only 1 instance, so I guess I can remove all=
    <sid>.__ entries and only work with *. entries?
    Thanks
    Long

    Hi,
    the entries with double underscore in the spfile that you mention are not new in 11g but also show up in 10g.
    They are caused by the background process MMAN (Memory Manager), that is active if you set SGA_TARGET>0 (in 10g) rsp. MEMORY_TARGET>0 (in 11g).
    This MMAN modifies the Oracle Memory components like the shared pool and the buffer cache, using performance statistics captured by the MMON (Manageability Monitor) and storing the new size of the component in the spfile in order to make that size persistent through instance restarts.
    The prefix of the SID is meaningless in case of a non-RAC database.
    Kind regards

  • Init.ora parameter

    Hello,
    I need to change the init.ora file to point to spfile, such as spfile='D:\oracle\product\11.2.0\db_1\database\spfile.ora'
    currently the init.ora has all the variables that spfile has, but we would like to point to spfile from init.ora file.
    for this do I have to restart the database to add the above command to init.ora file?
    what are the other impacts, if I change init.ora to point ot spfile while the DB is online?
    Thanks....

    Assuming your pfile is using the default name in the default location ...
    sql> conn / as sysdba
    sql> shutdown immediate
    sql> create spfile from pfile;
    sql> startup;
    sql> show parameter spfile
    done.
    At this point you should be running entirely off the spfile.  The pfile is irrelevant, though as Joel mentioned, it's not a bad thing to recreate it from the spfile occasionally and back it up.
    -- edit several hours later ...
    I should have mentioned that that init file does NOT have an 'ifile' reference to the spfile. 

  • Please help with: WARNING: The user_dump_dest init.ora parameter has been d

    Hi gurus,
    I have been getting this warning for a while but I can't find a way to get rid of it.
    Fri Apr 08 10:29:04 2011
    WARNING: The user_dump_dest init.ora parameter has been deprecated.
    WARNING: Please remove the user_dump_dest parameter from the init.ora file.
    WARNING: The diagnostic_dest init.ora parameter now determines the location of the diagnostic data

    I looked at the init.ora and init_SID.ora file and the pfile but I do not see this parameter. The only places I see this parameter user_dump_dest is through the show parameter user_dump_dest is SQL*Plus and the EM Initialization Parameters, and they both show c:\oracle\diag\rdbms\orcl\orcl\trace.
    Please help me fix this warning.
    Thank you!
    Ben

    Starting in Oracle11g we not longer have many of the original OFA file system structures and we see that the ancient dump destination init.ora parms (core_dump_dest, background_dump_dest, user_dump_dest) are placed by a single diagnostic_dest parameter, the place to go when Oracle wants to take a dump.
    You can use the new initialization parameter diagnostic_dest to specify an alternative location for the diag directory contents.
    As of Oracle Database 11g Release 1, the diagnostics for each database instance are located in a dedicated directory, which can be specified through the DIAGNOSTIC_DEST initialization parameter. The structure of the directory specified by DIAGNOSTIC_DEST is as follows:
    <diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/<dbname>/<instname>
    This location is known as the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR) Home. For example, if the database name is proddb and the instance name is proddb1, the ADR home directory would be <diagnostic_dest>/diag/rdbms/proddb/proddb1.
    The following files are located under the ADR home directory:
    Trace files - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/trace
    Alert logs - located in subdirectory <adr-home>/alert. In addition, the alert.log file is now in XML format, which conforms to the Oracle ARB logging standard.
    Core files - located in the subdirectory <adr-home>/cdumd
    Incident files - the occurrence of each serious error (for example, ORA-600, ORA-1578, ORA-7445) causes an incident to be created. Each incident is assigned an ID and dumping for each incident (error stack, call stack, block dumps, and so on) is stored in its own file, separated from process trace files. Incident dump files are located in <adr-home>/incident/<incdir#>. You can find the incident dump file location inside the process trace file.

    # Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
    # For parameters that require different values in different size

    # and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
    # installation size will have three settings, each one commented

    There are strange things in the file you posted, are you sure that's your init.ora ? where did you find it ?
    Moreover, you use "cat" to list the file, but you name "c:\dir" the directory : what is your OS ?
    Furthermore, if you use directories, then you don't need to set utl_file_dir in init.ora, and directories don't show up within parameters, you can see them by

    Thanks in advance.

    You cant generalize performance configuration. If it can be oracle would have don it. Fine tuning of parameter values is a on going process. Its not like you set it one and its done. You need to monitor it constantly and tune it on need basis.
    Said that, the first thing that caught me is the setting of SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET. Both are set to 0 meaning Automated memory management is turned off.
    Run the following two query
    select name
         , value
      from v$parameter
    where upper(name) = 'PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET'
        or upper(name) = 'WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY'
        or upper(name) like '%\_AREA\_SIZE' escape '\';
    select name

      from v$parameter
    where upper(name) in (

  • Init.ora  EVENT parameter to trace processes?

    Thanks to all who read my question and offer suggestions!
    I have seen in a book the ability to trace individual background processes.
    It gave an example of adding the following 2 lines to the init.ora file:
    event = "10246 trace name context forever"
    event = "10500 trace name context forever"
    After stopping and restarting it creates trace files for the PMON and SMON
    processes in the Background_Dump_Dest folder.
    But my question... is there any reference chart anywhere that shows you what
    event numbers you would use for other background processes?
    I am running 8.1.7 on Windows 2000
    Thank you for your help!

  • Init.ora recommendations

    Can anyone tell me what the init.ora settings/configuration recommendations for 9i are or where I can find a full list of them? Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Hello
    Cursor_sharing refers to how oracle will treat sql statements it has loaded in the shared pool. If, for instance, you were to issue the following sql statements
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'ABC'
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'DEF'
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'HIJ'
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'KLM'
    Each is likely to have the same execution plan but oracle would need to store 4 separate copies of the statement in memory because litterals were used rather than bind variables. The cursor_sharing parameter allows you to tell oracle to ignore the litteral and treat it as a bind vaiable like so
    SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = :Bind1
    This means that oracle can treat this statement as a "template" for subsequent executions, which means that a) it doesn't have to be re-parsed and b) it only has to store 1 copy of the statement. This becomes more significant when you have 1000s of statements using litterals rather than bind variables...the database won't scale.
    The different options you have for this parameter tell oracle how to behave when it comes across statements like this. This link will tell you what they mean.

  • Can we determine path of my INIT.ORA file from data dictionary views.

    Hello Guru’s
    I am new to oracle, My question is for the sake of my knowledge: I work on oracle 10G.
    Is there any data dictionary view from where I can get the path of my INIT.ORA file.

    AFAIK , its no. You can check the path from the show parameter command like following,
    SQL> show parameter spfile
    NAME                                 TYPE
    VALUE
    spfile                               string
    /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
    /db_1/dbs/spfileorcl.ora

  • Questions on init.ora file

    Hi,
    I have some questions on init.ora file. While checking the init file in my system i found that it defines a spfile in a non default location.
    The parameter names are like
    1) db1.__db_cache_size
    2) *._kgl_large_heap_warning_threshold
    3) *.sga_target
    what do they indicate? I mean what does 'db1.__' , '*._' and '*.' indicate? There are multiple database in the Windows 2003 server and the db version is 10g R1
    Regards,

    From the discussion i guess the following points
    1) db1._ means they are specific to databases.
    2) *._ and * means they are used accross databases and chaging it in any of the initfile might affect all? I seriously doubt this.You are mistaken when speaking about database. Bear in mind, a database is not an instance.
    * here means this parameter will apply to any instance of that database (if it is in RAC), or to the only one instance of that database (if it is in non-RAC).

  • How to establish a single init.ora file for 3 node RAC under ASM

    All,
    Our environment is a combination of several different memory sized SUN machines (V880, V490 & 250R).
    Setting up a single init.ora file that encompasses each of the nodes memory into the SGA sizing is our desired setup.
    Though we have established the file, the question is getting each NODE on the RAC to use that single parameter
    file to start its database instead of taking the default init.ora file in the default (asm/dbs) directory.
    As we have performed fail-over testing, upon the restart of instances they have restarted with wrong memory
    definitions that have hung the nodes when it took more memory then what was available and swap space began
    to grow.
    Steps to configure and enable this process is what I am looking for.
    Thanks
    Gerry

    Gerry,
    Here's what we do. Not sure if it is relevant to your situation ...
    (on each node)
    $ cat $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initrac11d1.ora
    SPFILE='+DATA/rac11d/spfilerac11d.ora'
    (in ASM)
    $ asmcmd
    ASMCMD> ls -la +data/rac11d
    Type Redund Striped Time Sys Name
    Y CONTROLFILE/
    Y DATAFILE/
    Y ONLINELOG/
    Y PARAMETERFILE/
    Y TEMPFILE/
    N spfilerac11d.ora => +DATA/RAC11D/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.267.685170285
    The spfile has all parameters, qualified by node where applicable. For example :
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Wed May 6 19:00:45 2009

    rac11d1.dispatchers='(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=msdbc11-vip)(port=64000))'
    rac11d2.dispatchers='(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=msdbc12-vip)(port=64000))'
    *.global_names=TRUE
    rac11d1.instance_number=1
    rac11d2.instance_number=2
    rac11d1.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
    rac11d2.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS2'
    Hope this helps,
