Error Initializing Oracle Content Store After Upgrade from ReportNet

If you are creating a content store in Oracle or upgrading a ReportNet content store in Oracle to Cognos 8, and you receive the following error message:

“Content Manager can not initialize the content store with the assistance of the initialization file: dbupgrade2_0021-to-2_0022_oracle.sql ORA-22858 invalid alteration of datatype”

This error can occur if the Oracle database compatibility level is set lower than 9.0.1.

You can correct this by changing the compatibility level to 9.0.1 or higher and restarting the Oracle instance.
