Datapatch warning while installing 23ai FREE version 23.6

Simon_DBANov 13 2024

It seems that 23ai FREE version 23.6 is out now:

$ oraversion -compositeVersion
23.6.0.24.10

However, installation seems to give a warning about Datapatch and, while the database is actually created successfully, a non-zero return code is returned:

$ cat /opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/FREE/FREE.log
[ 2024-11-13 16:28:55.968 CST ] Prepare for db operation

/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/FREE.
Database Information:
Global Database Name:FREE
System Identifier(SID):FREE

But no logs are found in the suggested location:

$ ls /opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/sqlpatch
ls: cannot access '/opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs/sqlpatch': No such file or directory

$ ls /opt/oracle/cfgtoollogs
dbca  netca

FYI @gerald-venzl-oracle - this seems to be a small issue with the latest DBCA. The [WARNING] message itself isn't too bad. But the non-zero return code means that calling scripts will catch it as a failure.
