Error E017

Message

[DBC-E017] inventory.xml not found or readable: %s

Explanation

DBCollect failed to find or read inventory.xml. This file is required to get a list of ORACLE_HOME directories.

Solution:

The file /etc/oraInst.loc points to the location of the Oracle Inventory. In the inventory there should be a file named inventory.xml.

Example: /u01/app/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

If this information is not there, dbcollect cannot detect ORACLE_HOME directories.

Solution 2:

Manually provide an ORACLE_HOME using the --orahome option
