LRM -00109:could not open parameter file Oracle 10g in Solaris 10

Hallo! I have just installed Oracle 10g in Solaris 10.When I logged into sqlplus / as sysdba if found that I was connected to an idle instance. When I tried to startup open the db, the following error appeared
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup open;
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/export/home/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initsolaris.ora'
My pfile has the name init.ora and not initsolaris.ora.How can I change the settings to make the Oracle database start via pfile init.ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Thanks

By default, oracle will look first for a spfile named "spfile<ORACLE_SID>.ora". Lacking that, it will try to find "init<ORACLE_SID>).ora.
Eventually,I would like the db to read the spfile spfileorcl.ora during the startup.How can I achieve this?
Once you have started the db (I believe a startup nomount will be sufficient) you can issue CREATE SPFILE ... Details are in the fine SQL Reference manual found at tahiti.oracle.com
BTW, "open" is the default behavior of "startup", so no need to specify it. A simple "startup" does the same thing.
Thanks

    hi
    i have manually created a database called ora.i have done all the relative tasks.i can open the database by startup nomount pfile.but when i try to create spfile from pfile, it is showing an error that it is already created.when i give the startup command the
    ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initora.ora'
    above error occurs.acutally my pfile is in another location and it is trying to open it from another loc.ihave added the line
    export ORACLE_SID=ora in bashrc file.Already there is one database called orcl and it is also been added to the
    bashrc file.
    Pz solve it for me.

    use this command
    a spfile will be created inside /dbs/
    now restart the DB and give startup command and check the instance status..
    as mentioned above export the Oralce_home and Oracle_sid..

    I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox). I have the users grid and oracle11g. Add groups and install grid infrastructure first as a grid user and install database as oracle user as in documentation successfully.
    I have following users and groups as

    NOW QUESTIONS!!!!!
    1. Why I can't change the status of database to OPEN as grid user?
    2. The status is always STARTED when querying v$instance. İs it status of +ASM or database?
    3. When checking database as grid user it seems to be Database runnning...  If running why it is not in OPEN state? What is running means here?
    4. When I log on as oracle user and query v$instance, then error shown above occured. And also when startup  the database then another error occured as in above. WHY?
    5. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved but the first one is changed after restart the system?
    6. Normally, which user have to start, stop or manage database? I think that oracle user is necessary for managing database and the grid user is only for managing ASM and Oracle Restart.
    PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS CHAOTİC SİTUATİON!!!

    I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox)
    Pl identify exact version of 11gR2 to 4 decimal places. As noted in your other thread - Failed to start oracle-ohasd, error: Inappropriate ioctl for device ohasd failed to start at roothas.pl - you will need a minimum version of 11.2.0.3 for Linux 6.x - using a lower version may result in unexpected issues or problems.

    Hi,

    --One question,During start the database(startup) how can it looks the particular pfile ?
    startup command how to identify the exact pfile if there are three or more different pfile with different name?
    Thnaks,

    Oralce will look for a mfile matching with the SID of your database. Thats why the file naming convetion is init sid .ora. If oracle cant find that same named file, the rror is returned to you.

  • Could not open parameter file

    Hi everyone,
    I was installing oracle 11gr2 on fedora 14 2 weeks
    I couldn't find any solve for "could not open parameter file"
    I read a lot of forums but I could not
    I haven' got any pfile or spfile
    I have only $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init.ora
    I haven't got any control file
    I installed again again but nothing change
    What can I do ?
    I set ORACLE_HOME, SID , BASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    Sounds like you installed the Oracle software only. What did you install? You might want to run the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create a database.

    Any Suggession ?
    Thanks

    Have a CSI?
    Subject:TKPROF returns "could not open trace file"
    Doc ID: Note:300439.1
    Cause
    TKPROF has a 2Gb filesize limit on the input tracefile.
    Fix
    To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
    1. Assume "tracefile" is the name of the 3.5Gb raw tracefile.
    2. We will need two Unix sessions, both as "oracle",
    in the same directory holding the "tracefile".
    3. Session A:
    unix$ mkfifo mypipe
    unix$ tkprof mypipe reportfile options
    --> this should show the TKPROF banner and will then wait
    without returning a Unix prompt
    4. Session B:
    unix$ cat tracefile > mypipe
    --> this will feed the tracefile into the named pipe
    5. The result should be that TKPROF is able to process the tracefile via the named pipe and write the reportfile.
    Note: the above solution can only be carried out on a Unix system. If you encounter this problem e.g. on a Windows system, you could transfer the problematic file onto a Unix server and perform the workaround on it, as TKPROF works with tracefiles regardless of the originating platform.

  • RSCRM 085 Could not open the file

    HI Guru's,
    for two weeks we have trouble on RSCRM BAPI. we have a job which execute the function module to generate a file. yesterday we applied an OSS Note to solved the problem RSCRM164.
    But now if i execute my process by the program i have the error RSCRM085 could not open the file.
    If i execute the process by the transaction RSCRM_BAPI (with the same parameter) the generation is successfull.
    Do you have an idea what problem i have ?
    Thanks

    Hello Cyril,
    If you regenerate the coding and reactivate the program does it resolve the issue?

  • Could not open scratch file

    When I try and open Photoshop, I get the following error "Could not open a scratch file because you do not have the necessary access privileges" followed by "could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges".  As a result, Photoshop fails o open.
    I have tried repairing Disk permissions, I have deleted the Photoshop Settings file, and I have tried Resetting Home Folder Permissions.
    I am the primary user, and it's only my user account that has the problem.  When I try and Reset Home Folder Permissions for my account, the process never completes.  When I perform the reset for the other users, it takes seconds.
    I've tried reinstalling Photshop, but still get the same error and Photshop fails to start.
    I concerned this is the beginning of a worsening problem with OSX LION.
    Any suggestions???

    Hi,
    having the same problem here. We have 10 Mac Pro machines with OSX 10.6.8 and CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4. By now five of these machines have given the same error: "could not open scratch file because disc is not available" and "could not save ... because of a program error".
    The scratch disk is the same one which has the system and it hasn't been touched.
    I have repaired the disk permissions.
    This just started two days ago and haven't noticed it before. Any clues what could be causing this?
    Thanks,

  • Error while running forge - Could not open DTD file

    Hi,
    I have a simple application created in Endeca,facing below error when I run baseline_update.sh
    FATAL   09/04/13 22:26:42.491 UTC (1378333602491)       FORGE   {baseline}: Error in file 'file:///../../endeca/apps/Sample/data/processing/Sample.analytics_config.xml' (line 2, char 58): An exception occurred! Type:RuntimeException, Message:Could not open DTD file 'file:///../../endeca/apps/Sample/data/processing/analytics_config.dtd'.
    Initially Forge was running error free, only changes we made were :
    1. Ingesting multiple XML files.
    2. Changed match mode of dimensions to Autogen
    Forge is unable to open any of the DTD files, for testing removed DTD reference line from Sample.analytics_config.xml.
    Forge fails again " FORGE   {baseline}: Error in file 'file:///../../endeca/apps/Sample/data/processing/Sample.cral_profile.xml...................................."
    Regards,
    Shruthi

    I've seen this type of error before when Forge is configured to read multiple files with spec *.xml.  Is that how you've configured your record adapter?  This configuration then collides with Forge XML config files merged into the same data/processing directory.
    From memory there's a couple of solutions for this - one might be to give the files a common name prefix if that's feasible, e.g. _data*.xml.  You could use a sub-directory to separate the files, but you'd need to modify your copy scripts.

  • I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?

    I have a MacBook pro version 10.6.7 with snow leopard. After an scheduled software upgrade I could not open Quicken (It said it could not open the files). Now I can only open it if I have my external drive on. Can you help?
    All the information that I had input on Quicken is gone. I have to have the external hard drive that I use to back up to be able to use quicken now. It is as if it was erased from the laptop hardrive

    Try repairing permissions. My favorite way is with a utility called AppleJack. Info and download here. It's free. It only works when you boot in Single User Mode. When restarting or booting, hold down the Command key and S keys.
    You will get a very different startup screen that looks like the Terminal app has hijacked the screen. Just let the lines of text scroll by. When that happens you will get a text entry prompt. Type in "AppleJack" without the quotation marks.
    A DOS looking menu will appear. Choose 1 or d to run Disk Repair. If you get a message that Disk Repair found and corrected errors, run it again. Repeat until you get the "your disk appears to be ok" message. This rarely happens with my experience, though. This does the same thing as as booting from an external drive and running Disk Utility's repair. Only, no external drive is required!
    Next, choose 2 or p to repair disk permissions. This will take a little while. AppleJack warns that it will take up to an half hour to run repair permissions. It'n never taken more than about ten minutes for my MacBook Pro.
    As permissions are repaired, you will see each repair scroll on the screen. When done, the menu returns, choose q to quit. Then at the prompt, enter "exit" without the quotes. Your MacBook Pro should restart into Mac OS normally after this.
    Hope this helps.

  • Could not open PDF Files with Safari using Lion - Solution

    Two for one solution:
    After installing Lion on my Macbook Pro, I could not open PDF files on line via Safari and iPhoto 11 kept crashing.
    Well, the solution for bothy problems was to remove the "3ivx" file. 
    The easiest way to do so is go to Applications > 3ivx folder > run Remove 3ivx app.
    OR:
    Finder > Library folder > Application Support folder > drag "3ivx" folder to trash and trash.

    Does Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins show anything for pdf other than WebKit built-in PDF ?

  • Could not open the file

    I had worked on the Illustrator CC 2014 with 19 slices of PDF presentation file for my assignment even in 15 minutes ago, and before closing it previous time, I have saved the file, and restarted my laptop, tried to open the PDF file again, but the message of "Could not open the file" was appeared each time I have tried to open it. I wonder what is wrong with it. And I do really have to working on it right now. Here I am attaching the pictures and please solve this problem. Thank you

    Does it open in Acrobat?
    Did it really complete saving? Or did it crash or did you abort the saving process?
    In case you can open it in Acrobat, the PDF part of the file is still intact. Then you could create a niew file in Illustrator and place your file in it. Of course then most  editing features will be lost, but at least you've got the content.
    Use this script to place all pages at once:
