RE: Start DBCA on RHEL 5

How are you connecting? Using VNC or using ssh –X?

If ssh –X, Can you start an xterm session from the login screen that you are sitting at? (just type xterm). If not, then the problem is that you are not setup for X… and you will need to fix that. Are you using any kind of tunneling, or are you ssh’ing across more than one machine?

DBCA and all of the Oracle tools, require that you be able to start an X windows session – either on the server or on your client (ie ssh –X <servername>). If xterm does not come up, then something in your X configuration is at issue.

If X can’t start – how are you connecting to the database server (ie: ssh) and are you using Win or MAC? If Win, do you have some kind of X client like Xming.

If your using VNC, can you start xterm on that connection?

Am executing it directly on the Server inside the Site... The Oracle user is already created (there are some instances up and running there -it is a test server) but am not able to start dbca with it or even with root.

Hello all,

Oracle DB 11.2.0.4 on RHEL 5.2; I want to start DBCA on the server, but when I execute the command "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca" nothing happens, any idea?

This is what the log says:

[Thread-3] [ 2016-04-21 14:23:38.269 CDT ] [DbcaCleanupHook.run:44] Cleanup started
[Thread-3] [ 2016-04-21 14:23:38.276 CDT ] [OracleHome.cleanupDBOptionsIntance:1482] DB Options dummy instance sid=null
