Hi! I have just installed Oracle 9.2.0.2 on an OpenVMS machine (existing oracle 8 installation is there). It works fine - I can startup and stop the db, connect, etc. no problems. I have Oracle Enterprise Manager on an NT box to manage both databases. I can shut down this 9 instance in OEM but can't start it up. I get a tns-12500 can't start dedicated server process error. I can start it up with sqlplus just fine so I figure something is missing/not right with the oracle files on the NT box. What files do I need? I copied my tnsnames from vms over (that was a hint on metalink). Can anyone help? Is anyone using VMS and Oracle besides me?
