We have an 3 instances of 10g on a windows server. I needed to change the number of processes. So I edited the init file, changed the processes, saved it and then bounced the instance. When I do a v $parameter on processes, I still get the old number. What the heck is wrong? Do I have to stop the service at all? Restart it before I bring up the database? I did set the sid for that instance before I logged in.ciao, BrianThis email message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
