SYMPTOMS

After setting the database initialization parameter: parallel_automatic_tuning='TRUE' in the initialization file: <init>.ora, the database startup returns:

ORA-32006: PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING initialization parameter has been deprecated
The database starts as per normal.
The parameter is set as required by the OWB installation documentation.

CAUSE

The PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING parameter has caused the error.

This parameter is no longer required. Refer to:
Warehouse Builder 10g Release 1 Installation Addendum section 1.3.2 PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING Parameter:

"Section A.2 (page A-3) instructs you to set the PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING parameter to TRUE. This parameter is deprecated in Oracle Database 10g.
Do not set the PARALLEL_AUTOMATIC_TUNING parameter in Oracle Database 10g."

SOLUTION

The parameter should not be set and can be removed from the database initialization file(PFILE).
Start database with Pfile.
Create spfile from Pfile.

Note:-

Security parameters in 11G and 12C

There are 5 parameters that are all prefixed with ‘sec’ in an 11g and 12c database.
Actually that is a lie because one is now deprecated in 12c. They are all, as you might guess related to security.

SEC_CASE_SENSITIVE_LOGON                                 TRUE in 11GR1 , 11GR2, DEPRECATED IN 12C
SEC_MAX_FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS                 default 11GR1,11GR2=10, 12c=3
SEC_PROTOCOL_ERROR_FURTHER_ACTION default is  CONTINUE in 11GR1, 11GR2, drop, 3 in 12c
SEC_PROTOCOL_ERROR_TRACE_ACTION        default is TRACE 11GR1,11GR2, 12c
SEC_RETURN_SERVER_RELEASE_BANNER           default is FALSE in 11GR1, 11GR2, TRUE in 12c
