I have seen some conflicting reports for this parameter. THe 10g
upgrade guide says:

Initialization Parameters Obsolete in Release 10.1
The following initialization parameters were made obsolete in release
10.1:
DBLINK_ENCRYPT_LOGIN
HASH_JOIN_ENABLED
LOG_PARALLELISM......

But I have seen other documentation referring to it being obsolete in
9i. I do see the parameter listed in the DBA guide for 9i.

Does anyone have any solid inks that show it is obsolete in 9i? An
audit finding is depending on this.

Thank you

The online documentation at tahiti.oracle.com for 9.2.0 clearly lists
the parameter as active:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/secure.htm#828
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch150.htm#REFRN10044
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_23a.htm#2155668

It is listed as obsolete in 10.1:

Metalink Note:271825.1 lists it as obsolete in 9.2 also. The parameter
only applies when connecting
to a 7x database.

Thank you very much for your response. I did find an obscure link
saying it is an obsolete parameter in an upgrade bulletin (Note:
159657.1) but can not find actual Oracle documentation any more. The
parameter is listed at the very bottom of the page under "Appendix A:
Obsolete parameters in 9i:

http://www.dbatools.net/doc/upgrade9ir2.html

So do you think it is obsolete based on the bulletin above?
