tts-backup.py - Error: File contains no section headers.

[martinberger-ch]

Hi

I did a test setup for TTS migration to ADB Serverless according https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/autonomous-database-serverless/doc/using-transportable-tablespaces.html#GUID-F0F71B4B-CED2-49E6-8D26-C4D0A96213A2.

Source is OL8 / 19c database. The Oracle Database Cloud Backup Module is configured an tested by successful RMAN backups. OCI Buckets are created and the user configured in Backup Module is able to use the buckets.

When running the Python script, this error occurs:

python3 /u01/app/oracle/stage/tts_project/tts-backup.py Error: File contains no section headers. file: '/u01/app/oracle/stage/tts_project/tts-backup-env.txt', line: 4 'PROJECT_NAME=tts_project\n'

I attached a redacted env-file.

Hi Martin,

The env file used during execution is missing the required [DEFAULT] section header. The Python script relies on configparser and expects the env file to be in that format. If [DEFAULT] is not present as the first line, the script will fail with the reported error.

The sample env file we shared includes [DEFAULT], and the script works as expected with that format. Please update the env file accordingly and retry.

Regards,
Hemanth
