Creating the APPLY support package from command line
For APPLY, ensure the command console is run from the APPLY server so that the APPLY logs and PLOGs can be found. If you run the support package from the SOURCE server (where most people typically run dbvrep) it will NOT include the log file and the PLOG. Please get the log file as well and the PLOG from the target server.
Or you can install the ./start_console.sh script on the target server, run the dbvrep console from there as show below.
