Hi all

According to Oracle's OFA standard the initSID.ora file is supposed to sit in the directory $ORACLE_BASE/admin/<sid>/pfile. I've created such a directory and stored the init file in it. However, when I started up oracle in order to create a database I got an error that the init file could not be found in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs. Oracle documentation says this is the default location for initSID but I want to make the database OFA compliant. How do I tell oracle where the init file is? I know you can say startup pfile=..... but I don't want do this everytime I start a database.

Thank you
