Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: PFILE from SPFILE
Hi Deepak,
RE 1: as a previous post just noted, in RAC configurations, the * is replaced by the instance number for the database.
RE 2: the ? is ORACLE_HOME, not BASE
RE 3: looks dodgy to me, what's the control_files entry in the new pfile that was just created from the spfile?
Tony
Hi All,
When I created a pfile from spfile the pfile has lines like the following....
*.background_dump_dest='?\admin\
I have a few doubts regarding that.
1> Why *. is there before each line.
2> Why the locations of the dumps as well as the control files have ?\ prefixed.
3> Even when i use sho parameter control_file it shows the ?
Please help me in understanding the above.
