ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup

samiJul 3 2014 — edited Jul 3 2014

Hi All,

Now the system is in started and database is in open status.

When I tried to execute the following command to set undo_retention parameter

SQL> alter system set undo_retention=64543 scope=both;

alter system set undo_retention=64543 scope=both

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup

am getting above error.

I have checked system which is running using  PFILE

SQL> SELECT DECODE(value, NULL, 'PFILE', 'SPFILE') "Init File Type"

FROM sys.v_$parameter WHERE name = 'spfile';  2

Init File Type

--------------------------------

PFILE

but both SPFILE and PFILE path are showing me empty string.

SQL> show parameter spfile

NAME              TYPE VALUE

---------------- ------------ ------------------

spfile                               string

SQL> show parameter pfile

NAME              TYPE VALUE

-------- ------------ ------------------

spfile                               string

how to I change undo_retention value parmeter..? Kindly guide to resolve the above error..

Thanks & Regards

Sami
