Environment
Novell
ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5
Situation
The ZAM 7.5
defaults to an .ora extension for the Oracle database during the
install.
If the
customer changes the database extension to .dbf, the install will
fail to create the database and generate a dbinit
error.
Resolution
There is not
any functional difference between extension names.
Novell has
not officially tested using any extension other than .ora and
recommends the use of that extension.
No issues
are expected if the database is later renamed to a .dbf extension,
but this not officially supported.
