How to invoke dbca from UNIX server console command line
I exported ORACLE_SID = rcat and invoked dbca and received errors on 3 occassions:
1) I performed dbca and recieved an error message that DISPLAY was not set
From /etc/hosts file on server:
ww.xx.y.zz serv_console # Local console port
2) I performed
a) export DISPLAY=ww.xx.y.zz:0.0
b) dbca and it encountered an error.
3) I attempted setting
a) export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
b) dbca and it never came back.
