Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: No TNSListner service after intall 8.1.7 on Win 2k
Thanks Bruce.
That ifile part was the part I was missing. (looks like the the closest I can get to a unix link) I like the ifile implementation better than having two copies of the init.ora.

Babette,
I'm not sure if I have read this anywhere but I think that the registry entry (as created by oradim) might be used when the service is started. However, when using startup the Oracle executable looks in %oracle_home%\database for the file initMINE.ora.
What I do is create a file called in the database directory that has just 1 line - an ifile pointing to the pfile in the pfile directory.
This is what the Database create wizard does in terms of the inti file.
So for example I have something like:
C:\oracle\product\817\database>type initbdb2.ora IFILE='c:\oracle\admin\BDB2\pfile\pfileBDB2.ora' C:\oracle\product\817\database>dir c:\oracle\admin\bdb2\pfileDirectory of c:\oracle\admin\bdb2\pfile
19/07/2001 13:49 <DIR> . 19/07/2001 13:49 <DIR> .. 20/07/2001 14:51 4,733 pfileBDB2.ora
Of course, just like Unix, when using the startup command you can specify the full path and name of the init file if you wish.
Regards,
Bruce

As everyone in this thread seems so knowledgeable about NT, I would like to digress and ask a related question.
When I use oradim to create a service,
oradim -new -sid MINE -pfile c:\mine\initMINE.ora .....
The service is created, the instance is started!! BUT, when I use svrmgrl to shutdown the instance and then try to start it up, it complains because the init file does not exist in %ORACLE_HOME%\pfile
BUT the oradim DID create the entry:
ORA_MINE_PFILE = c:\mine\initMINE.ora
So what is this registry entry used for? And why do I need to place the init.or under %ORACLE_HOME%\pfile
Thanks
Babette
