Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Unable to create SPFILE.
Chirag,
Here is the exact test below...only on 9205_at_Linux.
Your problem is that you do seem to be using the right file at the right time. You need to understand the "order of precedence" and location of these
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfile[SID].ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init[SID].ora
You need to dig a little (more)...I think the same answer (sample syntax) was given several times, no?

You have to restart your DB using the spfile, and read the docs.

Subject: Re: Unable to create SPFILE.
I have started with pfile, by changing audit_trail=DB.
startup pfile='file name'.
show parameter audit.
audit_trail=DB
create spfile='location' from pfile;
File created..!!
but when see the spfile, *.audit_trail='OS';
I was thinking that while you do the create spfile, it is creating a binary copy of pfile matching exactly with pfile.
but this is something unexpected I am getting.

You sure you are using the right (default) pfile on startup? do this; SQL> startup; [as you normaly would] SQL> show parameter audit ??? Something got to be a miss on your end...or this would be ascary (documented) bug?

I have started my Database with pfile and now want to create spfile. I am using create spfile='location' from pfile; When I see the audit parameters in pfile, it is AUDIT_TRAIL=DB, but in SPFILE it is showing as AUDIT_TRAIL=OS, set previously but changed now. same with few other parameters. I changed my init file, bounce DB with pfile and now creating spfile. This is 9i with Solaris. regards - chirag
