DBCA Silent Mode Is Not Setting DB_UNIQUE_NAME Even Though It Is Specified In DBCA Template File. (Doc ID 1508337.1)

Last updated on JANUARY 09, 2025

Applies to:

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant - Version 11.2.0.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

DBCA silent mode is not setting DB_UNIQUE_NAME even though it is specified in DBCA template file. The issue occurs both for standalone or RAC config.

After DBCA completes successfully, the DB_UNIQUE_NAME parameter has the same value as the DB_NAME parameter. This is not the expected result.

Example:


Note that DB_UNIQUE_NAME can be set after database creation.
However, this causes database and diagnostic dest files to show up in different directories after the DB_UNIQUE_NAME is set.

Changes

No changes. Just trying to use DBCA in silent mode and set the DB_UNIQUE_NAME in the used template.
