Renaming oracle instance (from UOCTEST to UAS)
Note : Remember to rename datafile, logfile, controlfile, parameterfile and passwordfile. Aslo need to change listener.
******** Parameter File ***************************
(1) check whether instance is using SPFIlE. using “show parameter spfile”
(2) SQL> connect / as sysdba
SQL> “create pfile from spfile”
in 10g by default it will create pfile on $ORACLE_BASE/admin/
i executed following following
create pfile=’$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init_UOCTEST.ora’ from spfile;
(3) “cp init_UOCTEST.ora initUAS.ora”
(4) modify initUAS.ora and change UOCTEST to UAS. So now Pfile is ready.
********** Password File *********************
(5) Now for create a new password file as in previous instance passwordfile authentication was enabled (orapwUOCTEST exist).
orapwd file=orapwUAS password=flowers123 entries=10
**********Control file*************************
(6) alter database backup controlfile to trace;
Above statement will generate tracefile that contain ASCII definitions for controlfile in $UDUMP folder.
(7) get copy of “create controlfile” statement. I got following copy after deleting unnecessary comments.

By looking as ascii control file i come to know the distribution of physical files are on /uocdb1 and /uocdb2 mountpoints. So renamed /uocdb1/oradata/UOCTEST to /uocdb1/oradata/UAS and /uocdb2/oradata/UOCTEST to /uocdb2/oradata/UAS on file system.
Also re-checked control_files, background_dump_dest, user_dump_dest & core_dump_dest parameter from initUAS.ora and made appropriate folder name changes at file system level.

Logout from server eaappprod21 and login in new env. variable settings.
