Oracle 18.4.0-XE: setPassword.sh fails for PDBADMIN #295
Comments

@goranpaues-tradedoubler I suspect something went wrong during VM provisioning. The installer RPM creates only a single PDB called XEPDB1, and the only directories under A few questions to help figure out what happened:

Hi @PaulNeumann , thank you for assisting! |

@goranpaues-tradedoubler I'm not sure either, but this is good, because it narrows down the problem. Are all of the scripts in the |

Its several megabytes of closed source DDL and stored procedure code. It will take too long to troubleshoot further and I think we can settle the issue with the fact that the error is caused by my own scripts somehow. Thank you for your help! |

@goranpaues-tradedoubler I understand, and you're welcome! This does point out an issue with the |

@goranpaues-tradedoubler, @gvenzl I think I have a generic solution that will work. To recap: The Using #!/bin/bash

echo 'Done setting PDBADMIN password in PDB(s)'This sets the SYS and SYSTEM passwords, and sets the PDBADMIN password in all open PDBs where the PDBADMIN user exists. (It also removes the call to @gvenzl, if you agree that this is a legitimate issue, and that this approach is reasonable, I'd be happy to submit a PR. |

Hey @PaulNeumann, Sorry for the delay in response, somehow your update slipped through back then. Personally, I'm not a big fan of dependencies on other components such as Perl on catcon. Instead, I think we can come up with a solution that retrieves all the open PDB names from That would keep the entire logic still self-contained and also still fairly simple to follow, read and debug in the future. What do you think? |

@gvenzl That makes sense to me. I'm not sure a single PL/SQL block will work, because |

Describe the issue
Setting a new password for SYS and SYSTEM works, but fails for PDBADMIN:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ /home/oracle/setPassword.sh Not_Very_N1ce_Pass

Additional information
Looks like there is an extra pdb with a long name, causing the error when trying to find the PDB name:
[oracle@localhost ~]$ ls -dl $ORACLE_BASE/oradata/$ORACLE_SID/*/ | grep -v pdbseed | awk '{print $9}' | cut -d/ -f6
