Garbage Characters in Activity Log

Symptom

When you open the Activity log, garbage characters (for example, ?????) appear in the RMAN output.

Solution

The Machine Language Code Page should be compatible with the Oracle instance and Oracle database language settings. For example, if your database uses JPN language, the Machine Language Code Page should be JPN. However, if you are using English, this problem will not occur.
