After upgrading the database to 9.2.0.8, Autoconfig fails on adcrobj.sh / afdbprf.sh on dbTier

Today, I held up with one issue in the upgraded Database, (ie) from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8.

When it is a need to run autoconfig on the database tier, it ended up in the errors that

1. [AutoConfig Error Report]
The following report lists errors AutoConfig encountered during eachphase of its execution. Errors are grouped by directory and phase.
The report format is:
[APPLY PHASE]
AutoConfig could not successfully execute the following scripts: Directory: /oracle/Apps/visdb/9.2.0/appsutil/install/VIS_moonserver
adcrobj.sh INSTE8_APPLY 1

2. [AutoConfig Error Report]
The following report lists errors AutoConfig encountered during eachphase of its execution. Errors are grouped by directory and phase.
The report format is:

[PROFILE PHASE]
AutoConfig could not successfully execute the following scripts: Directory: /oracle/Apps/visdb/9.2.0/appsutil/install/VIS_moonserver
afdbprf.sh INSTE8_PRF 1


AutoConfig is exiting with status 1

But the original error is
-------------------ADX Database Utility Finished---------------
Verifying connection to the Database : Could not be stablished
No Restore Profile file created.

Working towards the fix for the issue:

Metalink Note: ID: 415335.1

Here is the error message on HP-UX 64 bit :

Manual running of the adcrobj.sh did not seem to show this error, but failed to connect as "/ as sysdba" via SQL*PLUS.

Rerun the autoconfig.
