Hey Martin, No there is no characters (like " or ' or \) in the password. I deliberately used only UPPER CASE and lowercase mixed with numbers in the password no special characters.
Please see the debug output below. Looks like we have another problem at this time, the "getupdates.oracle.com" can't be resolved. I have tried to access it from two different networks but no luck. I know this is not related to my initial issue but do you folks know if anything changed between last year and now on this "getupdates.oracle.com" address? ~ Aydin # /pca/Scripts/pca --debug -d 119254-78 Option download: 1 Option patchdir: /pca/.
