opatchauto bootstrapping failed with error code 255.


Solution: Noticed that the "oraclehomeproperties.xml" file in Below location has missing highlighted entries. I corrected those by adding it and the opatchauto worked fine.

cd $GRID_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML

ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error

I was doing import of a table and started noticing the below error. Even though the database was same.

Tried different methods but it didn't work. In Oracle support it was mentioned that I may be hitting a bug  and i may have to set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to char at DB level which was set to byte.

I noticed the table carefully and saw it has a dependency on a Oracle TYPE. 

When i saw its script saw that it was varchar2(20)

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ORAUSER1.OFFSET_HDR IS VARRAY(50) of VARCHAR2(20); 

SO I created it manually with an option of "char" in datatype.


SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ORAUSER2.OFFSET_HDR IS VARRAY(50) of VARCHAR2(20 char)
  2  /

Type created.

Post that the table was imported successfully.

EM12c : Authentication Failure while login to GUI console with the Correct Password

I was trying to login to OEM GUI console and was getting the below error, I was pretty sure that my password was correct and even tried with different user account but every time it was failing with “Authentication failed. If problem persists, contact your system administrator”

I checked the emoms.trc logs which had the below errors
