spfile link not created with dbca in 12.1.0.2
Oracle RDBMS 12.1.0.2
Oracle ASM 12.1.0.2
.
spfiles are represented in ASM as $ASM_DATA/<dbname>/spfile<dbname>.ora with a link to +ASM_DATA/<DBNAME>/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.nnn.nnnnnn using OMF.
I used dbca to create a 12c database. The spfile was placed in the PARAMETERFILE by the link at the upper level is missing.
I had to:
mkalias +ASM_DATA/ENTOS/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.273.857215977 spfileentos.ora |
This is just an FYI and a note to Oracle Support to address it.
