Dear all:
I have the referred errors when executing an optach lsinventory and also when running dbca.
I am running 11.2.0.3 on RHEL 6.5 64-bit.
The specific date string that it cannot parse is "2015.Dec.30 13:18:04 WST".
This is an Oracle Home running instances upgraded from 10g, the binaries are of course new, but the Oracle instances are coming from 10g, not sure if that matters.
That date is indeed consistent of the dates when we were installing the binaries of the new 11gR2 home.
I have searched the KB and I could only found the Doc ID 1949212.1 that is similar, but I currently have the environment variable LANG set as en_US.UTF-8.
I am not sure if this is a setting of my current environment or a residue of a potential wrong LANG parameter upon install time.
opatch does not fail and it shows me the components used, it just does not tell me when they were installed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installed Top-level Products (2):
Oracle Database 11g 11.2.0.3.0
Oracle Database 11g Examples 11.2.0.1.0
There are 2 products installed in this Oracle Home.
There are no Interim patches installed in this Oracle Home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPatch succeeded.
Since this is showing in several places, I wonder how I can fix it.
I am running a C-Shell and have validate already in the /etc/ files csh.cshrc and csh.login that this variable is not being set to something else, they are not even mentioned. Then, following the Oracle install doc, I have created a .login file on the home directory of the owner of the Oracle files, which again has no mention to this parameter.
I think the issue is related to the fact that the file $ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML/comps.xml file has indeed inside on the tags " INSTALL_TIME="2015.Dec.29 18:07:11 WST"", thus with dates using this strange mask, which leads me to believe that I have installed the Oracle binaries with an environment having the wrong LANG variable.
My gut feeling is that opatch reads that file and cannot interpret the date having now as LANG en_US.UTF-8.
Any other ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Roman.
