Hello Manoj -

2/15/22, 6:37 PM SR Detail
Thanks for the continued patience.

CTXSYS is missing could be caused by different issues.

1. Missing required privileges


2. Invalid Objects
3. missing PUBLIC SYNONYM ANYDATA

Please review and execute the following:

SQL> connect SYS/password as SYSDBA


SQL> spool text_install.txt
SQL> @?/ctx/admin/[Link] change_on_install SYSAUX TEMP NOLOCK

Where:
change_on_install - is the ctxsys user password
SYSAUX - is the default tablespace for ctxsys
TEMP - is the temporary tablespace for ctxsys
LOCK|NOLOCK - ctxsys user account will be locked or not

2. The next step is to install appropriate language-specific default preferences.

SQL> connect "CTXSYS"/"change_on_install"


SQL> @?/ctx/admin/defaults/[Link] "AMERICAN";
SQL> connect SYS/password as SYSDBA
SQL> alter user ctxsys account lock password expire;
SQL> spool off
