Capture wizard not accepting Database Server directory 'Directory doesn't exist' error appears (4237218)

Capture wizard not accepting Database Server directory 'Directory doesn't exist' error appears

In the Capture & Replay wizard - when you specify the Database Directory and press 'Check' or OK, the message "Directory doesn't exist" appears.
This happens on any directory on the machine. Also when running with Admin permissions, and when running BMF 'As Administrator'.

This error is related to the PATH_PREFIX set in Toad, when you create a Pluggable Database (PDB) there, as a clone from an existing PDB.

In Benchmark Factory (BMF), when you enter the path and see the invalid error, what is actually happening is that both paths are combined and causes the invalid error.

To solve this issue, if Path Prefix field is left blank in Toad, then BMF will work when entering any path in this field in BMF.

If you want to keep the path prefix mentioned in Toad, then you can manually create an additional folder within this path for the BMF capture, but then only the suffix path in BMF needs to be entered in the field - not the full path.
