OFA on NT

I am trying to re-arrange my ORACLE 7.3 files to emulate an OFA structure. When I have moved them around, the instance will not start on boot-up, and I have to run the Recovery program to get it started.

Q1: What is required to tell the instance to start on boot-up? Q2: If the instance can not be started, but Recovery can start it, what is it doing ?
Q3: If OFA is the recommended directory structure, why doesn't ORACLE install itself that way, at least as a default, instead of using a completely different file structure ? Received on Thu Oct 02 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
