Re: dbca won't work after cloning Oracle Home

Still not sure what was wrong the cloned OHome. I was able to download the zip files and did a fresh install. Once we installed missing packages, the install was successful and I was able to run dbca without any issues. I will be checking the other servers where we cloned the OHome and see if they also are missing packages.
