DBCA in silent mode to create a template from DB -- 19.0.0

Doing the steps to create a template from an existing DB to be used during a OS upgrade and DB migration.

Below are the steps I took and the results I get.

Issue is that I cannot find the template or the logs to tell me why not after the fact.

Have to use silent mode because, for security reasons, X is not allowed in our environment so no dbca in interactive mode.

Please help.

I issued:

$ dbca -silent -createTemplateFromDB -sourceDB acmsp -templateName acms0604 -sysDBAUserName xxxxx -sysDBAPassword xxxxx

Below is the process feedback:

[FATAL] /oracle/app/oracle/product/cfgtoollogs/dbca/getDatabaseAttributes.log (No such file or directory)

Look at the log file "/oracle/app/oraInventory/cfgtoollogs/dbca/silent.log_2024-06-05_03-41-33PM" for further details.

end of run

Expect template acms0604 to be in this directory, yet it is not. Where is it?

The file getDatabaseAttributes.log does not exist.

Ther file oracle/app/oraInventory/cfgtoollogs/dbca/silent.log_2024-06-05_03-41-33PM contains just the command run.
