Where is the password
file?
I have an oracle 7.3.4 database installed
on an NT server, on the c: drive.
I have moved it to another server on its
d: drive by backing up the control
file to trace and copying the database files.
When running the modified script from above
backup to recreate the control
files I get an ora 01991 error saying that
the password file is invalid. The
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORD file entry in the
original init.ora file was set to
exclusive.
the password file is in %ORACLE_HOME%\database,
and it is a hidden file. If you
didn't move the software the password file
also didn't move and shouldn't move.
This is a fixed location. It should be no
problem to recreate it, either by
using oradim73 in command line mode to edit
the instance or by using orapwd73 to
recreate a new one.
