  • Page 136: About Configuration Parameters

    Oracle software uses configuration parameters to locate files and specify runtime parameters common to all Oracle products. When an Oracle program or application requires a translation for a particular configuration variable, the Oracle7 Server for Windows NT consults the associated parameter.

  • Page 137: Configuration Parameter Descriptions

    Note: A value set at the command prompt is valid for only that particular instance of the command prompt. Any Oracle software you run during that instance recognizes the values set at the command prompt, and does not search for corresponding values in the Windows NT Registry or in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
