I put my audit_trail=os. wanted to change to DB, but unable to do that on
the fly.
 SQL> alter system set audit_trail=DB;
alter system set audit_trail=DB
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified
 SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET audit_trail=DB SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET audit_trail=DB SCOPE=SPFILE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup

Now is it like, I startup my db with spfile and then do
alter system set audit_trail=DB scope=pfile;
create pfile from spfile;
 hope this should work.
