Folks Need to Run csscan Utility as Background processes because the LAN Network Connecting my PC to the SUN DB Server is somewhat Unstable. Can csscan be Run as a Background Unix Process or NOT? NOTE - csscan is Running in the foreground ($ csscan FULL=Y FROMCHAR=US7ASCII TOCHAR=AL32UTF8 ARRAY=10240000 LOG=chrchk CAPTURE=Y PROCESS=32). Since my Database is 3 TB, the process usually Fails before completion due to LAN Network Problems. To my understanding csscan needs to be Run as "/ as sysdba" only Config Solaris 10 Oracle RAC 10gR2 Following Attempts Failing with Errors:- $ csscan FULL=Y FROMCHAR=US7ASCII TOCHAR=AL32UTF8 ARRAY=10240000 LOG=chrchk CAPTURE=Y PROCESS=32 & Character Set Scanner v2.1 : Release 10.2.0.0.0 - Production on Wed Dec 27 12:28:35 2006 Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.
