Waleed, have you tried this yourself in 9i? I have. And I have the logs to prove it. The only difference between the two database creates was that one was connected as "/" while the other was "sys", each while executing catalog, catproc, and catexp immediately following a "CREATE DATABASE" . If you try it and come out with a different result, I would like to know. Also, if it makes any difference, I'm on RedHat 7.1.
I believe the result would be the same under 8i, but I haven't tried, so I can't make that claim.

I do not think this has anything to do with the errors you had. Regards, Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 3:43 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L In 9.0.1, when you create a DB, you would "connect / as sysdba". However, if you also run "catalog" and "catproc" while connected like this, Oracle Advanced Symmetric Replication WILL NOT WORK. You *MUST* be connected as "SYS as sysdba". It's taken me forever to find this. The biggest clue I had was a number of ORA-06550 errors in the create logs that point to a character set mismatch. Of course, I found an article on Metaclink that said this may be normal, so I ignored them at first. (I can't find that article again!) I know I've sent out at least one other message like this, but these little things can really come back and haunt a person. And maybe the next time I have this and send a message to the list, someone with a real memory can help me!
