You copy the parameter file of an existing database instance as the initial configuration for a new database instance. You can only copy a source parameter file if the new database instance does not yet have one.
All parameter changes made during the current parameter session up to this point are overwritten by the copied parameter file. Parameters that cannot be changed because of their properties retain their system default values copied from the description file. This applies to the following parameters:
·
RUNDIRECTORY contains a directory name
<independent_data_path>/wrk/<database_name>
· KERNELVERSION is initialized with the version number stored in the DBM Server
Specify the name of the source database in <source_db>.
