Database creation via DBCA hangs in 19c


Error:

When installing 19c Container database

Database creation though DBCA hangs on step 5 whenever the default storage location is changed to some non-default path.

This is an advanced customised DB creation rather than a typical one.


Reason:

The customized database files location does not include {DB_UNIQUE_NAME}.
 
{DB_UNIQUE_NAME} is essential for any path of any datafile.
 

Solution:

Adding {DB_UNIQUE_NAME} to the customized database files location fixes the DBCA hang problem.

Datafile Location: /u01/oracle/oradata/TEST

TEST is my DB_Unique_name
