Ron,
This is not a problem due to the absence of sgadef file. This file was obsolete with 8i. Your problem seems to be Oracle environment &/or Sql*Net related. Please check tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, service names etc. on the client. Can you connect to any other instance from this client?

FWIW:
The sgadef file had following text in 8.0.x versions:   

This file is now obsolete. It will be removed in a future release. To determine whether an instance is up, you should check for the existence of the PMON process associated with the instance.

HTH,

I have an 8.1.7 Oracle instance on a server that does not create an SGADEF file when it is started up. There are no errors in the log or trace files. As a result of this file not being created, I cannot connect to the database from a remote client. I get an error that says the instance is not running. I can connect to the instance from SVRMGRL on while logged onto the server. Any ideas why the file would not get created?

Thanks!
Ron Smith
