2.6.4 Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) Known Bugs

These are the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) bugs in Oracle Database 18c.

2.6.4.1 Bug 27217146

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) can encounter the following error during creation of the Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR).

PRCD-1000 : Database _mgmtdb already exists

This could be due to an earlier failed repository creation.

Workaround:

Run following commands in Oracle Grid Infrastructure home:

srvctl stop mgmtdb -f
srvctl remove mgmtdb -f

2.6.4.2 Bug 27237306

During the creation of a pluggable database (PDB) from an existing PDB on Oracle Managed Files (OMF), you can edit the database location in the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) user interface. This enables you to change the location of the database files during PDB creation, implying that the location can be changed. This is incorrect because the PDB is always created with the database files in the same location as the source PDB, and you cannot modify the database location.

Workaround:

Do not edit the default database location value. OMF creates the new PDB with the default database location value only.
