schemas for RCU prefix have already been used

Question

Hi all,

I am having a rotten time installing OBIEE 12c and seem to have come to a grinding halt.
The installation failed during the "Create Service Instance" section (77%).
Now when I try to re-run the configuration, i'm unable to use the schemas I created using RCU. 
It gives me the following error:

"Schemas for RCU prefix 'XXXXX_STB' have already been used. Rerun RCU to create clean schemas."

Does anyone know whether it's possible to reset here without having to drop the schemas and start again?

I'm working late at night and don't have sysdba privs.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

Hi guys,

Yeah had already considered that luckily.
I have just had the DBA drop the schemas via the RCU, recreated them and started the config again when I realised that it was going to fail again due to the following:

This seems to be the error I had at 77% so will report back if changing the location of JAVA install helps.

Thanks,
Adam

EDIT: Removing the space in the java install path fixed the issues when "adding default service instance" at 77% of install.

True that's what I meant. Run the wizard to drop things.

Being you I would not tell the DBA to drop the schemas, as it's not a real DB drop. The drop really need to be done by the RCU tool, as there are things added in other parts of the DB if not wrong (a system registry or whatever it is to list the existing RCU schemas etc.).

So do not manipulate it as a simple DB object: RCU is created by the RCU tool and need to be dropped by the RCU tool, not by hand.
