IFILE

Parameter type	File
Syntax	IFILE = parameter_file_name
Default value	There is no default value.
Parameter class	Static
Range of values	Valid parameter filenames
Oracle9i Real Application Clusters	Multiple instances can have different values.

Use IFILE to embed another parameter file within the current parameter file. For example:

IFILE = COMMON.ORA

You can have up to three levels of nesting. In this example, the file COMMON.ORA could contain a second IFILE parameter for the file COMMON2.ORA, which could contain a third IFILE parameter for the file GCPARMS.ORA. You can also include multiple parameter files in one parameter file by listing IFILE several times with different values:

IFILE = DBPARMS.ORA
IFILE = GCPARMS.ORA
IFILE = LOGPARMS.ORA

Note: You must list multiple entries on contiguous lines of the parameter file.
