Checking the Integrity of the Physical Data Structure
5-8 Oracle Database Installation and Administration Guide
You can either select the preferred text editor by setting the environment variable
EDITOR before starting ADRCI or specify your preferred text editor within ADRCI with
the ADRCI
set editor command.
Note: The editor vi does not work on blockmode terminals and the
editor edtu does not work on xterm terminals.
With ADRCI you can invoke Incident Packaging Service (IPS)
to create packages for
incidents with the commands
ips create package and ips generate package . The
resulting zip file can be uploaded to Oracle Support.
