GEN60050 Oracle is not installed on the target build machine

Products

• CA Plex

Issue/Introduction

With the STORAGE variant set to 'NT Oracle Server', tables and views generate successfully; however, the server functions scoped under the views fail to build with the error: "GEN60050 Oracle is not installed on the target build machine." The problem is that Oracle is indeed installed on the build machine, so why am I getting this error message?

Environment

CA Plex 7.2.1 and higher

Resolution

This error can occur when the Oracle home directory is not set in the registry. If the Plex build manager was installed prior to the Oracle install, then the Oracle home directory under the Plex build manager is not the correct path.

Run regedt32 and navigate to the following registry entry:

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\ComputerAssociates\CA Plex\<Plex-version-number>\ob700bm

Double click to open the OracleHome key and set the value to the Oracle home directory path.

Note: if you don't see ob700bm, please add this node and add OracleHome key.
