Procedure documentation param_copy Locate the document in the library structure

Use

You copy the parameter file of an existing database instance and use this copy as the initial configuration for a database instance. All changes made to the database parameter file up to this point are overwritten by the copy.

The exceptions to this are the parameters RUNDIRECTORY and KERNELVERSION, and all volume parameters, since these have properties that prevent them from being copied. These parameters retain the values from the default parameter file.
