Script snipplet to scan the dbca logs for errors

Here is a way to scan the logs in the directory where dbca creates its logfiles, by default under your $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbca/$ORACLE_SID.

If it happens to be a multitenant database, dbca will create subdirectories for the PDB(s).

If you want to skip scanning these, exclude them from your grep command, like below:

cd /orasw/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbca/cdb
export PDBDIR=`ls -d */ | awk -F '/' '{ print $1 }'`
export ignorelist='ORA_IGNORE_CVU_ERRORS|exectask.sh|utlrp0.log|RMANUtil\$RMANUtilErrorListener.handleError:1386|RMANUtil\$RMANUtilErrorListener.handleError:1383|RMANEngine.readSqlOutput:1046'
grep ERROR --exclude-dir=${PDBDIR} * | egrep -v $ignorelist

The errors I have excluded are based on my own observations on what's important or not during dbca usage.
