>>>David, As I had mentioned, the dbassist utility fails in
the3rd step at 82%. At this point, it gives the error "Oracle not
Available" and the only option that I had was to Ignore & Abort. I
clicked on Ignore for a longtime. Later I found from the web that
the semmsl & semmnsvalues were too less and increased to 160 &
310respectively. I rebooted and restarted the dbassist utility and it
went thru all the 4 steps successfully.Assuming now I can work on
the DB, I tried startingthe Database with svrmgrl SVRMGRL>
CONNECT INTERNAL SVRMGRL> startup pfile
="export/home/oracle/admin/FRAME/initFRAME.ora". The error that I
got is ORA-07217:sltln - Environment Variable cannot beevaluated.
I dont know what this error means or where to look forthe error.
Thanks, gopi P.S : Is there a way I can copy the solaris
files ontoa DOS floppy. I work in the US. --- Lord David
