I love having short cuts to frequently used commands. 11g forced me to change few of them:
alias tailalert=’tail -f $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_DB/bdump/alert_$ORACLE_SID.log’
Became
alias tailalert=’adrci exec=”set editor vim;set home diag/rdbms/`echo $ORACLE_DB | tr A-Z a-z`/$ORACLE_SID; show alert -tail -f”‘
and
alias vialert=’vi $ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_DB/bdump/alert_$ORACLE_SID.log’
Became
alias vialert=’adrci exec=”set editor vim;set home diag/rdbms/`echo $ORACLE_DB | tr A-Z a-z`/$ORACLE_SID; show alert”‘
I’m not sure why the DB Name appears as lower case in the path while the SID is upper case. Maybe a mistake I’ve made during the installation, but in other places that use DB name as a parameter (such as datafile path), it appears in upper case (as it should).
