Cleaning /opt/local/creradbs/quest/splex8.6.2/vardir2100 subdirectories
rm: cannot remove `/opt/local/creradbs/quest/splex8.6.2/vardir2100/log/declt': Is a directory
-
Cause
A subdirectory has been created under one of the subdirectories of the Shareplex variable directory.
-
Resolution
The subdirectory that has been created by user manually is not removed by ora_cleansp but its existence will not interfere with the future replication. The ora_cleansp will remove other subdirectories that need to be cleaned up for starting afresh. The program is not designed to remove unexpected subdirectories existing within the variable directory structure of Shareplex. The message generated “cannot remove…..” is for information purpose only and can be ignored.
