I am currently studying for my 1Z0-060 exam  using the Oracle Press book.

Oracle apparently retires the OCP 10g title as of 1th march which means you cannot use it to upgrade to 12c OCP anymore…
So I had to get started to start learning 12c, my customer just finished upgrading to 11.2.0.4 and I am putting these db’s on a Sparc Super Cluster for the moment.

To learn for Ocp for me it is not sufficient to cram the course material in you head and learn by heart but also to have some hands-on.

One of the first tasks was to create a CDB, I first did it with the dbca and then wanted to do it manually as I always did.

The book suggested to create it by manually executing

catalog.sql
catblock.sql
catproc.sql ….

but I saw in the manual that you also can use catcdb.sql which basically does everything for you …

While doing this I faced some issues with following error.

Can’t locate Term/ReadKey.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib//5.14.1/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi-64 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib//5.14.1 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib/ ../lib/site_perl/5.14.1/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi-64 ../lib/site_perl/5.14.1 ../lib/5.14.1/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi-64 ../lib/5.14.1 . /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin/) at /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/admin/catcon.pm line 189.

I am not a perl afficiando but after some googling I found that on my solaris 11.2 system following needed to be set
PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/bin


==> to use the perl from the oracle home

export PERL5LIB=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib/site_perl/5.14.1/i86pc-solaris-thread-multi-64:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib/:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib/5.14.1/:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1/perl/lib/site_perl/5.14.1/
Hope this helps when you encounter this 

UPDATE :

31 th october 2016 it seems there is a note about this now
