I am trying to use -mapfile option under dx_provision_vdb utility, where I need to have below replacements/mappings. But it is keep failing. I don't find any suitable example to refer. Please suggest how that works?

Requirement is to replace "/oracle/ora01/s12102b" with "/ora01" which I have placed as below in a file and passing as parameter- 
-------mapfile----- 
/oracle/ora01/s12102b:/ora01

command : 
-------------- 
./dx_provision_vdb [other parameters] -mapfile /opt/oracl/emapfile 

Problem with mapping file. VDB won't be created. at script/dx_provision_vdb.pl line 446.

Hi Sushil,

There's a typo in your mapfile reference.  Is that a copy paste error or are you actually defining it like that?

/opt/oracl/Emapfile - the E is after the oracl/

If that is not the issue be sure you have no hidden carriage returns or Windows-to-Unix character issues.

I've tested it myself Sushil and I get the same issue.  I've looked at the code and the format of our mapfile is correct.  There may be a bug here.

Maybe Marcin is around to take a look?

Hello 
I will take a look on that. Sushil could you please run this command with -debug 3 option, than zip a new created folder debug_[enginename] and send attach here ?

What version of Delphix Engine are you using ?

Thanks Marcin to look into it and to create follow-up request.
We are trying to automate provision process in our environment, where file mapping is a mandatory requirement.
I will inform to CSM about this issue.
Is it possible to provide next estimated Release dates (approx) of dxtoolkit?

Thanks,
Sushil
