following example assumes that ASM Disk Groups are utilized:
1. Make sure the database is running and the listener associated with the database is
running.
2. Set the NLS_LANG environment variable for the oracle session:
# export NLS_LANG=american_america.us7ascii

# cd Repca_Oracle_Home
# runRepca
