Symptoms

Creating an Oracle Internet Directory (OID) 12c 12.2.1.3.0 instance using the same instance name from a prior failed configuration fails to start.

When attempting to create an Oracle Internet Directory (OID) 12c 12.2.1.3.0 instance using the same instance name from a prior failed configuration attempt (example: 'oidrepl1'), it fails to start with error:

It fails consistently with any future configuration attempts using this same instance name.

It does Not seem to apply to any other instance names used with other configuration attempts, which could be created and run without any problems.

This issue occurs if OID server start up or shutdown fails due to OID zombie process or shared memory segment, or any other reason due to existence of previous process id in the process status table.
