ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P001
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

CAUSE

Multitenant created manually with these initialization parameters aq_tm_processes, job_queue_processes,events, parallel_... , etc


SOLUTION

  This has been discussed in unpublished Bug 20049142 ( closed in status 32- Not a bug)
where it mentioned that if the customer must create manually, please ensure as a minimum:
   - use a minimal init.ora without aq_tm_processes, job_queue_processes, events, parallel_... , etc
   - use a 8 bit character set as a minimum not US7ASCII
   - make sure the seed is created with "_oracle_script"=true
   - do not run cat scripts directly use the perl catcon system


 An alternative is to use DBCA to create the scripts and to run them manually.
