Oradim hangs in Oracle XE when creating new service
545936Nov 14 2006 — edited Nov 14 2006Using Oracle XE 10g on W2003 Server (64-bit), R2.
I'm attempting to install/create a new database instance...
The initial installation of XE itself and the subsequent XE instance was successful. Now, i'm attempting to create another instance/database...
The problem is when i use the oradim command (shown below), it simply hangs and never returns to the prompt.
oradim -new -sid XYZ -startmode M
I've tried various combinations of parameters, but get the same problem...oradim hangs!
It does, however, create the service. But, when i try to start the service from the Services console, windows gives me a "service specific error #183".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
