Dear all,

the following perl catcon command runs successfully

D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\rdbms\admin\catcon.pl -d K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline -l K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline\log -b zcdb_20200316_1300 -e -s -c 'zorcl' -g  -- --x"SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'CON_NAME') FROM dual"

but if i add in the -u username parameter it fails

[code]

D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\rdbms\admin\catcon.pl --int_usr "perfstat" -d K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline -l K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline\log -b zcdb_20200316_1305 -e -s -c 'zorcl' -g -- --x"SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'CON_NAME') FROM dual"
[/code'

the part of zcdb_20200316_1305_catcon_11772.lst is as folow:

zcdb_20200316_1305_catcon_11772.lst

i have test the following connection and it works


sqlpus perfstat/*****@localhost/zorcl

is there any thing I'm missing? it quite obvious that perfstat username is not even used in the catcon connection

many thanks

You have provided "perfstat" which can work only if PERFSTAT is actually a lower case name. It probably isn't. Without the double quotes, SQL*Plus will convert it.

Dear John,

this works as user system


D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\rdbms\admin\catcon.pl -d K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline -l K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline\log -b zcdb_20200318_0909 -e -s -u system -c 'ZORCL' -g  -- --x"SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'CON_NAME') FROM dual"

this does not works as user perfstat

D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe D:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1\rdbms\admin\catcon.pl -d K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline -l K:\db_upgrade\database\scripts\statspack\baseline\list_statspack_baseline\log -b zcdb_20200318_1002 -e -s -u PERFSTAT -c 'ZORCL' -g  -- --x"SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'CON_NAME') FROM dual"

it seems to be is that i need to create a common user before I can use perl catcon?

Quote:

The name of every user-created common user must begin with the characters c## or C##. (Oracle-supplied common user names do not have this restriction.)

please correct me if I'm wrong, I need to create a common user called c##perfstat in order for the above execution to be successful.

many thanks
