My understanding from an Oracle TAR we had a while ago was that this parameter 
doesn't do anything any longer and was supposed to have been deprecated in 9i.

I days gone by, this parameter specified that the database wasn't allowed to 
send the password in clear text.  I believe this started to be the default in 
7.3.4 and by 8i you couldn't pass in the plain text password.  Thus, by 8i, 
this parameter was pretty useless.  Now, it is completely useless.

Very good idea, Tom, although of course quite tedious.

I narrowed it down to the following:

Dblink_encrypt_login

This parameter is no longer supported in 9i.

Does anyone know what it's functional replacement is?

Michael,

It should be in the alert log.  That's where I found my errors.  Check your 
init.ora BDUMP parameter to make sure you are looking in the correct place.


You can always start commenting out various init.ora params to find the 
offending one.

Getting an ORA-32004 starting up an Oracle9i (9.2.0.4) database.

Standard documentation says more info on this message, including the cause, is 
available in the alert log, but alas, nothing there.  Several threads with this 
same issue on metalink are left dangling.  Has anyone encountered the secret 
place where oracle might be hiding the info about the deprecated parameter?

Pete,

I should have stated the OS version.
That box is w2k Adv svr sp4.
I can start and stop the service just fine from the gui.

I would still contend that someone outside of marketing needs to be consulted 
in choosing syntax.
This is simply a nuisuance, not a real bug.

thanks for testing - what OS version did you test against?

Paul


C:\WINNT\system32>net helpmsg 2185

The service name is invalid.


EXPLANATION

You tried to start a service that is not configured on this system.

ACTION

Check the spelling of the service name or check the configuration information 
for the service using the Services option from Server Manager.
