The syntax for creating a new service with oradim is as follows:
oradim -NEW -SID SID | -SRVC service_name [INTPWD password][-MAXUSERS
number][-STARTMODE auto | manual][-PFILE filename] [-TIMEOUT secs]
where:
- NEW indicates that you are creating a new instance. This is a mandatory parameter.
- SID SID is the name of the instance to create. You must specify either this parameter or parameter -SRVC.
- SRVC service_name is the name of the service to create (OracleServiceSID). You must specify either this parameter or parameter -SID.
- INTPWD password is the password for the new instance. This is the password for the user logged in with SYSDBA privileges. Option -INTPWD is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
- MAXUSERS number is the number of users defined in the password file. The default is 5.
- STARTMODE auto, manual indicates whether to start the instance automatically or manually at startup. Default is manual.
- PFILE filename is the initialization parameter file to be used with this instance. Ensure that you specify the complete path name of this file, including drive letter.
- TIMEOUT secs sets the maximum time to wait (in seconds) before the service for a particular SID stops.
To create an instance called PROD, for example, you might enter:
C:\> oradim -NEW -SID prod -INTPWD mypassword1 -STARTMODE auto -PFILE
C:\oracle\admin\prod\pfile\init.ora
This information is readily available from the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) Database Administrator's Guide for Windows.
From reviewing your example, I noticed that you have a period (".") between –sid and db6. The oradim command will not like this so remove this from the command. Also, startmode cannot be "a" – it should either be auto or manual. After making these modifications, try creating the service again.
