    OMF automatically manages Oracle database files by creating and deleting them in designated directories. To set up OMF, parameters must be configured in init.ora to specify directories for data, temp, undo, and redo files. OMF names and places files according to conventions like filename_tablespacename_sequence.dbf while allowing coexistence with DBA-managed files.

    • DB_CREATE_FILE_DESTINATION=c:\mydata
    ( for data, index, temp, undo tablespaces )
    • DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1=c:\mydir1
    DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2=c:\mydir2
    DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_3=c:\mydir3
    ( for control file and redo file )

    File naming convention


    Example

    • System tablespace = 100 MB /ora1/ora_system_001.dbf


    • Undo tablespace = 200MB /ora1/ora_undo_tbs_001.dbf
    • Temporary tablespace = 200MB /ora1/ora_temp_001.tmp
    • Control Files = /ora1/ora_001.ctl & /ora2/ora_002.ctl
    • Redo files = 20MB /ora1/ora_1_001.log &
    /ora2/ora_2_001.log
    • WKW_INDEX = 100M /ora3/ora_wkw_index_001.dbf
