To anyone who is interested: Symantec acknowledged this is a bug in version 11D. The problem is that BUE is recognizing case sensitivity in the Oracle database name on Windows. If the database was created in upper case, then BUE will add that information to the catalog in upper case. If you then create a brand new Oracle database with the same name in lower case and try to restore the original database, BUE will recognize this as a new server. I cannot associate the catalog items for the original server with this database because of the difference in case.

The fix in a restore situation is to create your Oracle 'seed' database using the same case as the original.

Symantec is working on a patch for this and will include it in their next release. Received on Thu Dec 06 2007 - 12:13:07 CST
