I've executed "emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop", but it is stopped,
the log shows "Getting temporary tablespace from database...". I'm sure that
I've put the correct passwords.
How can I drop it manually? I've seen some steps for dropping sysman user
and some steps more, is it safe? Some manual for oracle 10g?
Thanks beforehand.
