|
N/A |
| General | When running the Space Manager client (64-bit) in a 64-bit environment, some users might encounter the following error when attempting to submit a standard or live reorg script: “Error creating script group: Could not load file or assembly ManagedQP5.dll or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application.” | SPC-409 |
| Domain Indexes |
Reorganizing tables with Domain indexes. Space Manager provides limited support for Domain indexes when performing reorganizations and warns that you might encounter a problem because of the Domain index. Space Manager scripts the reorganization of the domain index correctly. However, the underlying implementation of the index type may be very complex, and some unforeseen dependencies may cause runtime errors. Important: It is recommended that you test the reorganization of a table with a Domain index on a non-production version of the table to make sure Space Manager reorganizes both the table and index correctly before you reorganize your production table. |
N/A |
| Installation |
Error when installing QSA on Windows for Oracle Database 12cR2. Some users might encounter an "Error running setup" error after attempting to install the QSA Server Agent on Windows for Oracle Database 12c R2. Workaround: If you encounter this issue, contact Quest Support for assistance. |
SPC-491 |

| XDB Schema |
Required for XMLType datatypes. |
Before installing the server components (and QSA), specify a password version for the database by performing the following procedure.
First, to verify that this procedure is necessary for the target database, run the following query:
select username, password_versions
from dba_users
where username = 'SPACER'
Note: Username is the installation DBA.
Enter the following:
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_SERVER=8
SQLNET.ALLOWED_LOGON_VERSION_CLIENT=8
BEQUEATH_DETACH=YES
Add the below command in the listener.ora file.
USE_SID_AS_SERVICE_<oracle-sid>=on
Stop and restart the listener. Use the following commands:
lsnrctl stop
lsnrctl start
The listener may take a few minutes to fully restart.
Alter the password for the installation DBA to a temporary password and then back again to reset it, for example:
alter user spacer identified by X;
alter user spacer identified by spacer;
Reset the sys password using alter, for example:
alter user sys identified by syspassword;
Now run the query again to verify the change.
select username, password_versions
from dba_users
where username = 'SPACER'
Note: Username is the installation DBA.
You can also verify the change for the sys user.
select username, password_versions
from dba_users
where username = 'SYS'
For additional information, see the Oracle documentation: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/NETRF/sqlnet.htm#NETRF2010.
