无法在Windows 10上配置oracle 12c

Question

I recently installed Oracle 12c on my system on windows10. Created an instance with dbca and named it as orcl .

On sqlplus " /as sysdba" I get connected to an idle instance. So I executed startup .

Now I get error

SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 
'C:\ORACLE12C\12C\PRODUCT\12.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\INITORCL.ORA'

I checked the path, the Initorcl file does not exist at the path.

Tried create pfile='path/initorcl.ora' from spfile='path/init.ora'

but get an error file size mismatch

What is the next step to get this configured?

Answer 1

init.ora is actually your pfile (not spfile). Theoretically you could try startup pfile='path/init.ora'; and that should work.

You can either rename init.ora to initORCL.ora (not sure if the SID is case sensitive in Windows), or create an spfile from your init.ora file:

create spfile='path/spfileORCL.ora' from pfile='path/init.ora'
