    Description:
    On our test server I noticed that Oracle had stopped running. I then tried starting it via Util O | 1 | 1 and got this message:
    idle> idle> ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/exlibris/app/oracle/product/920/dbs/initaleph1.ora'


    This server however has an ORACLE_SID of aleph0 and the initaleph0.ora file exists in /exlibris/app/oracle/product/920/dbs. Can you tell me where I define the parameter to tell Oracle to run the initaleph0.ora file instead?

    Resolution:
    The aleph_start for Prod has been mistakenly placed in the $alephe_root directory on Test.

    This aleph_start has:

    setenv ORA_HOST Prod
    ...
    setenv ORACLE_SID aleph1
