10g dbua problem

[KenCunningham]

Hi folks. I am attempting to upgrade a 9.2.0.7 database to 10g. I tried this previously, but was unsuccessful and therefore restored the database from a backup (fortunately this is a test environment) having corrected the problem.

However, now on trying to start dbua in the 10g $ORACLE_HOME/bin, I am getting the message:

DBUA thinks this is a Rerun operation and is trying to connect to the database with oracle home /oracle/product/10g. If you believe this is not a Rerun operation, remove the below file and invoke DBUA again.
/oracle/product/10g/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs/Welcome_LIVE.txt

I have removed the file identified, but still the problem (and message) persists. Has anyone come across this before and is there a fix? The OS is Solaris 8 if that's relevant. Many thanks.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

After removing that file, did you abort and restart dbua?
Or did you click 'retry' ?

I had a similar problem recently, and I had to restart dbua.

Hello Hoinz. Yes, I aborted and restarted dbua after removing the file, but it still appears to think it exists. A strange one indeed.

Oh dear, silly me. I'd set the oratab entry to the 10g HOME for some reason - it was this causing the problem.

Ken,

I think it wasn't you, but dbua during the previous run.
Yes, I, too, had to change this entry when I restarted dbua.
And for some reason I did not think of it just now. Silly me ...

Thanks hoinz. It's gratifying to know that silliness is an international thing ;-)
