F.4.3 Unable to Reuse Database Name
Problem
You get an error when you try to use the same global database name or SID as the one
that you deleted.
Solution
You might see this problem if you deinstall OracleAS Metadata Repository but not
Oracle Internet Directory, and you want to reuse the Oracle Internet Directory and the
same database name or SID when you install another OracleAS Metadata Repository.
The Oracle Internet Directory still contains the name of the deleted OracleAS Metadata
Repository. You need to remove this name before you can reuse it.
