Thank you, Yogi, for your detailed answer. Also thanks to all others who responded to my e-mail.
Our current automation seems similar to yours – a home grown program (Perl, in this case) that creates file systems, listener configuration, ldap aliases, runs cat*sql, and some environment specific scripts based on application configurations, registers to OEM, RMAN, etc.. But since for 20c we have to move from Solaris/non-multi-tenant/ZFS to Linux/multi-tenant/ACFS, we, effectively, have to build everything from scratch. In doing so, we’d like to transition from Perl to Python, too. It’s also a good opportunity to review and improve our current practices. (Niall, I’m also against completely rebuilding something that works well, but we’re forced by the circumstances.)
The main dilemma is whether to switch to dbca. We evaluated it 10 years ago and decided against it. Your answer is crisp and clear. Interestingly, it’s opposite to what others suggested. We plan to evaluate dbca for ourselves, but, at the same time, other people’s insights, specially about the pitfalls, are invaluable. Obviously, if we decide to use dbca, we’d need to remove unused options, either by deinstalling them or using our own templates.
Best regards,
Nenad
