Dear All,

During the upgrade process, I kept the pfile from one location to new location (where 11.2.0.3 software located).


C:\Users\3130738>set path=D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\bin;

C:\Users\3130738>set oracle_sid=ashtest

File created.


But it's not generating at 'D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\database\'. Instead of it, it is creating on another location, E:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\database\ (where actual pfile is resided- 11.2.0.1)

Please let me know, why its is not generating at 'D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\database' ??

Regards,
Ashish Kumar Mahanta

What exactly is not generating at 'D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\database\'?

You have to set your ORACLE_HOME and use ORACLE_HOME\bin in PATH
or create it where you want.

create spfile='mypath\mydir\.." from pfile='...'

You could also mention a non-default location.

CREATE SPFILE='your_location' from PFILE='D:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_2\database\INITashtest.ora';


But yes, as Mahesh said, you need to set your ORACLE_HOME correctly.

Edit : Didn't see Mahesh updated his post

Here, spfile is getting generated at E: drive instead of D: drive.

We can NOT change how Oracle behaves.
If you want different behavior, then submit Service Request to MOS

An SR regarding this issue wouldn't even reach the sustenance team, it would be closed by the first level support team itself.
