RE: Oracle 21c (again)

This is on Red Hat 8.5.

ksh version is:
Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01

I don’t have the ability to install ksh. According to the sysadmins, it is up to date.

This could be a problem with the ksh version you're running. What version version of Linux and ksh are you using?

Have you checked for updates to ksh that could be installed?

For example in OL6 , there was this problem with ksh that had to be patched. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1247383

Thanks,
Chris

The SR with Oracle is going nowhere. They asked me for the Oracle document I was using, then sent me the documentation on how to install the software, which I’ve clearly done. This is very frustrating.

Now that I understand the new location of the init.ora / spfile, I’ve created the database. I’m trying to run the catcdb.sql script. In 19c, it asked for passwords for sys & system, for the temp tablespace name, and directory and filename for the log file. When I run it in 21c, I get the following error:

SQL> set define $
SQL> host perl -I $rdbms_admin $rdbms_admin_catcdb --logDirectory $1 --logFilename $2 >& $error_log_catcdb Enter value for 2: catcdb.log
/bin/ksh: /tmp/catcdb_ship_err.log: bad file unit number

I’ve opened an SR with Oracle, but that’s going nowhere as all they keep asking for is log files and there aren’t any. I put this exact information in the SR and they asked for the /tmp/catcdb_ship_err.log file, which obviously doesn’t exist based on the error message. Clearly, they haven’t read what I put in the SR.

I’ve tried giving it the log file directory and name when I call it and get the same error.

Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?
