The issue occurs when the user account does not have sufficient privileges to access the Oracle database (ORA-00942) and/or access to the directory that is the Default_home for the databases. The errors are Oracle specific, not AppManager error code.

Formerly known as NETIQKB13459

Currently, the solution will not work with Oracle 8.1.7 (and possibly earlier versions of 8i). For more information about supported Oracle versions, see Supported Products for AppManager Suite.
