Hello All.

The Oracle's manual says, in the section devoted to startup, "However, the initialization parameter file and any
associated files, such as a configuration file, must exist
on the client machine."

I have 2 questions:

Q1.
Suppose i have a situation where there is an Oracle server and
a number of client stations from which i wish to be able to
administer the server. Does it mean that i have to copy the
parameter file and associated files to all the client
stations?

Q2.
What are those "associated files" and should i include them
into the Backup - Restore plan?

TIA
Kamil.
