There is no log created when running ora_setup. The screen does provide error messages during its running. The screen shot of running of ora_setup can be captured to investigate those error messages. It usually has two or three page of output. In Unix the “script” command can be used to capture the screen shot.
Here is a sample session that captures the screen shot with “script” command:
To run the ora_setup session with the script command, type the command and the filename for the transcript of the session to be stored. For example if wishing to store the session in a file named ora_setup.out, this is what you can do:
$ script ora_setup.out (where $ denotes the OS prompt while in /proddir/bin. The proddir refers to SharePlex’s Product Directory)
$ Script started, file is ora_setup.out
Then begin the ora_setup session as shown in a sample session below:
$ ./ora_setup
Welcome to the Oracle SharePlex setup process for port 2100.
This process creates tables and user accounts needed to run
Oracle SharePlex replication.
.
.
.
Setup of SharePlex objects successful . . .
Once ora_setup finishes, press CTRL+D to end the script session. This will generate the file ora_setup.out in the current directory. The file contains the screen shot (transcript) of the above session which can be analyzed.
$ <CTRL-D>
$ Script done, file is ora_setup.out
If a filename is not specified after the script command, by default the file created for this session will be called typescript.
