1.7.6 Fixed Link Names
Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) for BS2000/OSD uses fixed link names for specific
files.
The most important of these are as follows:
Typically, you set these link names by running the ORAENV procedure.
Note: When using the link=linkname notation, default file name
extensions do not work. As a result, file name defaults derived from
such notation are not valid, and you have to provide explicit names in
such cases. For example, when working with SQL*Loader, if you
specify
link=linkname for the SQL*Loader control file, then you must
provide explicit names for the
BAD , LOG , and DISCARD file names.
Some programs may report a syntax error when the link=linkname
notation is used on the command (options) line. In such cases, omit
the parameter on the command line, and specify it instead when you
are prompted for the missing parameter.
Type Meaning/Usage
ORAENV The link name of the Oracle Database environment-definition file.
ORALOAD The link name is mandatory and is used to specify the load library from
