ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

NapsterMay 14 2013 — edited May 14 2013
Hi Guys,

I am not sure whether this is the correct forum to raise this issue... Please correct me if I am wrong...

However our database worked well until our power supply got interrupted and the server was switched off couple of times. But now when we try to start the database, in services it starts up but when trying to connect it returns the error, ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.

Following are my findings...
C:\Users\Administrator>sqlplus sys/manager as sysdba

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\DBTA\DATABASE\INITRACE.ORA'
My two cents tell me that the INITRACE.ORA is currepted as this file cannot be found anymore... In that case what are my options other than installing the oracle server again?
