Description

Discussion Text

Assessment Procedure

Check Text

From SQL*Plus:

  select instance_name from v$instance;

Review the instance name with the DBA.

Ask the DBA if the instance name was chosen by the installer to conform to local naming conventions, etc. or if it was determined by the installation software.

If it was named by the installation software, this is a Finding.

Implementation Procedure

Fix Text

Follow the instructions in Oracle MetaLink Note 15390.1 (and related documents) to change the SID for the database without re-creating the database to a value other than the application default.
