Description

Error Message

LRM-00123: invalid character 0 found in the input file
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

Resolution

This issueis related with the PFILE did not created when the oracleinstalled.
Though wecan support the SPFILE as default,but it should be created from thePFILE;
In thissituation,the customer installed the Oracle102 by the script auto installationwithout the SPFILE,so this type of PFILE can not be recognized byVCS.
Afterre-created the PFILE and modify the "PFILE" attribute with the new filepath ,the ORACLE resource can be taken online as normal in VCS.

Resolution

1.the ORACLE resource inmain.cf before the pfile attribute modified:

Oracle Ora_Oracle(
Sid = gloeye
Owner = oracle
Home ="/mnt/oracle_home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1"
Pfile ="/mnt/oracle_home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/spfilegloeye.ora"
EnvFile= "/mnt/oracle_home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/root.sh"
User =globaleyeuser
Pword = BPBnCPePEpINf
Table = tbl_ec
)
